THERE are several whilom school
boys who have closed out business in
our community. When they want to try
another business the probability is they
VIII have to take a card to another
town. Boys seldom look at more than
one side of thing at a time.

ONE of the most satisfactory stores
in Philadelphia for persons visiting
the city to deal at, is HALLS % South

goods is large and of the quality and
class that our people usually want.

A FEW sleighs were out yesterday
morning and the evening before, but
the roads were too rough to make it
much ola pleasure. The last three or
four days have been indeed, decidedly
wintery. The thermometer registered
yesterday morning from g. to % ac-

falling below this but once or twice
during the whole winter. 1t was 16o

BY advertisement in another column
1t will be seen that the wonderful edu-
Gated horses are to be again in Will
mingtOn the last week of this month.
The opportunity of seeing them is rare
~ offered, and always enjoyed with
won Ter and surprise. No training of
dunno animals has ever exhibited in
the full entertainment it affords that
Will compare with the educated horses.
The last time they were in Wilmington
a number of our people went up to see
them and were delighted.
A NUMBER of the farmers met A.
Z. Crockett at his creamery on Sat
urday to discuss the item of milk and
its delivery. The creamery has been
ready to start with the exception of a
single part of the machinery, which
could not be obtained from the ma
chlnest. 1t is expected to be ready
to receive milk about the middle of
the month. Our farmers should make
an effort to sustain the creamery bv
a plentiful supply of milk--the all
important thing for its success.
BY advertisement in another column
it will be seen that the Messrs. Pretty
men Brothers, of Dover, have taken
the shoe store in the Johnson Building
in the occupancy the past year of T.
ID. Pierce, and will run it in connection
with their store in Dover, fitting it IN
with new stock which they will be
able to sell cheaper because of the adj
vantages to be obtained in purchasing
in large quantities. We commend the
Messrs. Prettymen to our people as
men experienced in the trade in all its
departments.
ONE of our citizens whose knowl-
edge of the milk business makes his
Judgment worth something, expresses
the opinion that the Creamery will
be the biggest thing for the farmers
that has been recently started in our
community-mOre for them he thinks
than the proprietor of the Creamery.
Some may be slow in taking in the
fact, with the inevitable disappOintments
IN some of the details, but the result
will be more and a better class of
mich cows, more money and less
trade, more feeding at home and con-
sequently better manure piles and
above all relieve the farmers wives
from certain drudgery that is becom-
ing more necessary with scarcity of
female help.

rate of cents per mile went into
effect, the first ticket being issued to
him. 1t cost him by the new tariff
S4.42 cents to come from Oxford to
Smyrna and return, the former charge
being 1882. He says it has been the
custom very largely for the people of
oxford to take a ride to Easton to
