Two young ladies visiting in Camden
were informed by gypsy that if they
ate a raw chicken heart apiece before |
retiring at night they would dream of |
their lovers. They followed the pre-
scription unknown to their hostess, and |
the household was thrown into turmoil |
IN the middle of the night by two un-

that the fellow who attempts it, and
undertakes to run the second paper in
town (other than county seat) with
less than 5000 inhabitants will get

attend all the fairs held in this State,

but he will gaze long and rapturously at
the pretty girls aud the fast horses, for

, The market for evaporated fruits
: especially peaches, is firm. The fruit
put up in 1888 is advancing, and by
; some dealers is being held for big prices
during the coming winter. Delaware
and Maryland will not evaporatC
enough peaches this season to supply
the home demand. We do not know

had the fires built in their furnaces thi
season, and this firm is Calhoun {
