 Mrs. M. l.. Dimock and Mrs. J. Ba Carpenter are better. South Wilmington. South Wilmington was favored as rs- ua1 by an entertainment on Christm is eve. ,, The hall was comfortably fillsA, notwithstanding the indictment weather. It was tastefully decorated with eyr- green, and a generous supply of preseNs loaded the tree and tables. The enftr- tainment was mainly furnished by She children. The youngest, Homer NiM,f aged five, and Louis Dimock, four, fouHd the most hearty reception. Tableau1 the Courtship in three scenes, the Bach elor in three scenes, and the Milkmaidin two scenes, were much enjoyed. There was an acrostic by six boys, who boreo their breast letters which together made the name "St. Nick" The ''Christrnas King" formed very pleasing feature of the program. It opened with tableau showing the manager with Joseph and Mary standing near. The shepherds and kings in appropriate oriental costumes quoted passages from scripture and then united in singing a beautiful Christmas carol. An action song by little girls and boys, who bore flags in their hands, gave great pleasure. The gem of the whole was the closing tableau, in which the children appeared tastefully grouped around the cross. While this was pre- pairing "our orchestra" consisting of Wallace Preston, Thomas Denman and George Connor, delighted the audience with selections on the mouth organ, with piano accompaniment. In the musical program the children were assisted by their elders in several we'll rendered se- lections. Readings by Miss SljnRsh1 afEs l. Miss claEa Hall l!ls sot .a 4.. y.

It is needx less to say that Santa was welcome when he at length appeared to distribute the gifts which had been bounteously pro- vided. Few, if any, in the hall went away unremembered, and we can safely say that all went away pleased with the en- tel tainment.

 Lewis Harwood, aged 91 years, and his wife Matilda, aged 94 years, who had been living with their son, J. L. Harwood, were slightly sick with the grip, and on Monday night last while alone together Mrs. Harwood in some way overturned the lamp and was badly burned, inhaling the flames also, and died in few min- utes. MT. Harwood was also slightly burned, and this with the shock and his feeble condition resulted in his death yes- terday. The aged couple will be buried together on Friday.

 WELLINGTON FOLLOWS CHRISTMAS TREE. A "happy thought" struck the East Wilmington folks this Christmas. Instead of giving their kindly tokens of affection to each other at their homes, all gathered at the school house around one common Christmas tree, and each had the pleasure of seeing every one else's happiness.
