zens to the grades and prices of the stock
this firm offers. 1t will pay any one to call

The Methodist Centenary services to be
heId in Newark, Del, Sunday and Monday

county the larger part of New Castle Co..

ing up into Chester and Lancaster Counties
Penn, were included in the bounds of Cecil
Circuit. The historical papers prepared by
the pastors of local churches will bring out
many facts connected with the formation
period of the church in their regions. The
attendance promises to be large
The fall term of Bay View schoo; No.
Ninth District, closed Nov. 18th with 80
pupils on roll. The school is in aflourishing
condition. The attendance has been very
good. During the term John Gamble and
Ruth Burns never missed one day. Those
that secured rewards of merit for good reci-
tatIons were Ruth Burns, Pearl Litsinger,
Maud Wivel and Lena Abrams. The school
is advancing in Improvement and increas-
ing in attendance. If the school Commssi-
oners would only put up coal house it
would add much to the comfort and con-
venience of both pupils and teacher.
The farm situated about half mile he
low Newark, and owned by John E Lewis
has been purchased by Frank Courtney, of
Wilmington, for about S12, 500. This farm
was bought by Mr.. Lewis, the proprietor of
the Deer Park Hotel, several years ago for
SS, 900 from the Waller estate, since which
time he has greatly improved the place and
brought it to very high state of cultiva-
ton. 1t is the same farm which the trustees
of Delaware College recently rented to use
in connection with the Agricultural Expert
ment Station, and it is thought that its sale
will prevent it's use for the purpose of ex-
periments, However, the college is over
whelmed with offers of farms in that vicin-
ity and no trouble is felt on this score.
