IT is better to have March come in
like lion and go out like lamb than
the other way.

The running of John CosgrifF on the
ticket Monday as it was done, was
without his knowledge and expressed
wish.
ORDERS for papering twenty-five
rooms which ]. E. Carter received last
week, would indicate that spring work
has set in with him not only early, but
strong.
THE two prospectors for iewelrv
store here, Messrs. Ayars and Shock
ley, have neither made arrangements
yet. There is an open field here for
some one.
THE motor for the new organ has
come and Walter G.. Jones. our
plumber, will make the necessary con-
nections with the water main the
coming week.
OUR townsman, John H. Bewlev.
will go before Gov. Biggs for the office
of Recorder, which appointment is to
be made next Monday, with the
strongest petition that was ever car
ried from the county for a similar pur-
pose.
THIS is the way the PHILADELPHIA
Record itemizes a recent event in our
town:
William Maylor, aged 20 years. a
wealthy farmer of New Smyrna. has
welded Miss Mary E. Bennett, aged
10 years"
The several features of the NJ. E..
church Improvement from their widely
different character have at times inter
fered with each other, thus DELAYING
the work, but the probability is that
the re-Opening will take place on
Easter Sunday-April 9Th.
REV. Mr.. WILSON organized a Bible
class at the NJ. E. Sunday School on
Sunday afternoon, of which he will
have charge. 1t was largely attended .
made up mostly of the young converts
who have not been heretofore identi-
fed with Sunday School work.
REV. W. w. w. WILSON will spend
next Sunday in Wilmington at Asburv
church in preaching the Missionary
sermon for Rev. J. d. G. Hanna and
assisting him with the collection.
Presiding Elder France will take his
place at Asbury Church, this town.
The weather the past week has
been cold enough if the days had been
as short as two months ago, to make
ice, but our ice men had no expecta-
ton of gathering ice in March. It will
have to be brought from the North or
manufactured by a machine. Ice bv
the latter method is very popular
where it is used.
The question may arise as to shells
or stone for improving our streets. the
spirit behind the ticket on Monday
being in favor of shells, while the mol
icy of those in the administration of
affairs has been for stone. There are
objections against the former for the
dry weather of the summer that do
not pertain to the latter.
SUNDAY was Missionary Dav" in
the M. E. Sunday School, the collec.
tiOns on that day, $124.S6, with the
previous monthly collections of the
year amount to within a few cents of
$500. There are some absentees vet to
report from both the school and the
church, that will most probably make
the combined missionary money to re.
port to Conference over 5000.
By advertisement elsewhere it will
be seen that Miss Minnie L. Allen has
succeeded Mrs. S. B. Reynolds corner
Commerce and Market streets. She
gives notice that she has returned from
the city with full line of new goods
to meet the demands of the season,
This is we'll known and popular stand,
and we commend Miss Allen to the at.
tention of purchasers in her line.

NJ. E. Church on Monday, the follow.
ing whose terms had expired were re.
