been profitable for ten years, owing TO
bad management and lack OF capacity to

There are a great many mills just like

There is no dispute as TO whistles having

The summer is now nearly over, and

pretty new accessories which can be made

The lace collar and frill. with its delicate
bows Of ribbon. is exquisite over any dress,
either dark or light, and the lace square
necked chemisette is calculated to wear

any dress, except cloth. clear down to the
waist line. A bow and loop of ribbon of
any preferred color can and even should
be added to the place where worn. Natu-
raj flowers are prettier for young women,
and ribbon for elder ones.
The plated shirt front with its stand
ing collar and neat white tie is very pretty
and dressy. Some ladies simply wear
these fastened outside and others put
them inside the waist and turn the neck
in so as to show the white front V shape.
The velvet collar and pointed lapels with
the plating of pink or blue or cream surah
or Grape is a very effective means Of

Tho death Of Congressman James
B. EVerhart viii be very widely lamented
IN Chester county, whore he has enjoyed
the highest representative honors, his
death will lee mourned in all circles re-
gardless Of partisan faith
Mr. Eyerhart was type of tho best
aud truest representative men of the age
He was not only honest Ia purpose. but
he was honest in action. and, however his
fellow citizens differed from him, he
always commanded the respect OF friend
and foe
In the state senate Mr. Everhart was
known as one of the few who were ever
faithful TO conviction, and in Congress he
maintained the same high standard Of in
tegrity. Had he been more pliable he
would doubtless have died Congress
man, but he preferred fidelity TO his faith
in the right even when weighed in the
balance with success. Such man will
long live in the grateful memories Of his
people.
The death OF Mr.. Everhart at this time
is likely TO have q very important bearing
upon the Congressional contest in which
he was a central figure as candidate.
The strongest Of Mr.. Darlington's compe-
titors is thus removed by death, but the
| legions Of Bruce followed his pulseless
heart into the eddy Of battle and won
their victory. and history may
repeat itself in Chester county.

The combat deepens; on. yc brave.
Who rush 20 glory or-deteat,
Is the encouraging battle cry of every
Republican in the state. This is a Dem
ocratic funeral and there are no Republi-
can mourners One of the Court House
officials said this morning that he could
not see what "all this fuss is about. as
the ticket is not elected vet and may not
be. as one wing cannot elect. That was
not a threat as the speaker may not vote
to-day for either faction.
Thursday and Friday have been field
days in Georgetown. Politicians have
been here from all over gthe county. and
the job presses which were running on
Thursday at midnight on the hundred
tickets have been kept busy yesterday.
Many of the tickets contain twentv-four
names and they viii be furnished the
voters to-day in quantity.
The old fractional lines have been drawn
between the right" and '1eft wing
and the fight viii be general throughout
the county. The anti-Saulsbury men in
Dagsboro hundred expect TO spring sur
prise on their foes, but If John Mitch"
Is not ready for them IL will be the first
time in his Dolitical life.
Charlie McFee is at home to put in a
vote against Uncle Eli. His coming may

father and himself, not more. Mr.. Gray
has Kept his hands OF too long to be able
to return the favors done him two years
ago by the anti-Lore men. His action
looks like political ingratitude There
are many ups and downs. however, in
four years and ere that time rolls past
fsciional lines may be so broken that his
wronged friends will not be able to pay
in like coin
No man can foretell the result Of to-
days contest in Georgetown. Each side
is confident Of victory, or processes il.
and the forces appear very evenly
divided. There are not few voters who
do not know where their interests are.
and some of them have been prominent
