A New Boat.

There has been considerable talk
about a new steamer-one with first
class passenger facilities, one with
more speed, in fact steamer that will
meet the demands of the travelling
and freighting public. There is but
little doubt but such boat is almost a
necessity. There is no doubt but that
the present line causes saving of
thousands of dollars to the community
in the way of cheap freights. The
Philadelphia & Smyrna Transportation
Company have saved the farmers
thousands of dollars in keeping up the
| prices to be paid for grain. There is
no denying the usefulness aud neces-
slty of a better steamer to continue
this good work. Now it is obvious to
all that as so much is saved by the pres.
ent line, II can not be disputed that il
should not only be encouraged but
that the facilities should be improved
another point is the increased value of
land situated on or near the river
caused by having regular line

seeEls almost absurd to think that in
TINS section dependent on water
communication, we should have to saw
say that we cannot get two hun.

gressive spirit and enterprise to take

But such unfortunately is the case
and were we dependent on getting 900

Will take ~ to 40 shares each provided

Remember that the stock in the

it is too late. If in your Judgment a
first class passenger and freight line is
of direct benefit to this section, then
identify yourself with it aud do not
rest there but urge others to step for
ward and take an interest. 1t is not
necessary that your interest should be
large, for it probably would be better
to have the stock we'll divided up so
That few could not control the many.
In the issuing of this stock it is obvious
that no land owners, not residing here.
would handle it if our people did not
show their confidence first by becoming
identified with this new steamer pro.
ject: This matter is put before the
public now that they may have ample
time to think Overland discuss the matter
thoroughly and be prepared to decide

Ger Grant is used to seeing so many
ugly and i'll contrived people that he
didn't go off into sudden fright, nor
did he feel called on to arrest it as it
wasn't drunk nor in a fighting
mood. One of the stories which
got aaOat was that it slapped at him,
but this was incorrect: it neither made
a motion nor uttered a sound as it passed
him, having the appearance of a tall
woman dressed in black, and heavily
yelled with the same color. Night
Waterman Pratt also saw it.: it was
sliding by the -four corners" at good
speed two hours after midnight when
he and it were alone on the street, the
same dark object as the policeman had
seen. He was not right close to it, but
fully as close as he wanted to be.
Constable Weldon also had a sight
of it and raised the hair on colored
mans head when he told him it grew
six feet in height in two minutes.
Credulous children heard the story
and for the nOnce were more docile
and off the street at an earlier hour,
and a number of cOlored servants have
since been 'jubus" about going down
the cellar after dark. The "spook"
that thus so unceremoniously dis
turbed the equanimity of our people
last week, has so far as we know not
been seen this week, but should it
come again and be disturber of the
peace, we would suggest that Police
man Grant aud his posse arrest it aud
several of our chronic Saturday night
disturbers, and throw them all into the
lookup together.

Thursdays session of the grange was

son. Several resolutions of minor i'm.
portance were brought before the
grange and passed, among which was
the making of February % a patriotic
day, especially for the young. this
was inaugurated by Mrs. C. Gundv

The report of the executive commit

b. H. Bancroft and S. H. Messick was
made by Mr.. Bancroft. He cited the
decision and order of the Interstate
Commerce Commission in favor of the
Delaware State Grange in its com.
plant against the railroad companies
and said:
The great relief which this order of
April l3 would have afforded us in the
marketing OF all our perishable prod
ucts Is therefore still delayed, and
these products still cannot be marketed
at fair profit unless they chance to
bring price greater than the mass of
consumers can afford to nav. As a
measure promising to assist in reliev.

carriers, the "Higgins railroad and

by majority of all the members of

Briefly stated, the plan now is this

fair valuation for them, TO be deter

CHRISTMAS
GREETING.

The years greatest festival is
close upon us and we have been
making active preparation for it.
In every department you will
find evidence of this great sea-
son.
Recently we have been saving
considerable about dress goods
and ladies coats. Of dress goods.
will only say this time, that we
are keeping up the assortment
and are adding new styles every
week, and will so continue until
after the holidays.
We have had great difficulty
in supplying the increased de-
mand for ladies coats, which has
thus far exceeded any previous
season. Anticipating an even
greater demand for the approach
ing season, we placed large
orders with our manufacturers
and this week have opened the
largest and most complete assert
ment yet offered. One more
word about coats. Every season
we meet with class who defer
purchasing their winter wrap
until after the Holidays, expect
ing then a reasonable discount
for the advanced season. We
are not unmindful of this fact
and have taken time by the fore
lock and prepared to meet their
wants. From December 10th, to
January 1, 1892, we will offer our
entire stock of ladies coats at the
price plainly marked on the
tickets with a 10 per cent. dis
count to all cash purchasers.
Thus affOrding you all the advan-
tages of late purchase and the
opportunity to select from a COM
plete stock.
The blanket and comfort sea-
son is full upon us and we will
give you great value for little
money.
Why not buy our Ct unbleach-
ed and Sc bleached muslins ?

buy that which will best suit the
table is a point well scored.
We believe when we direct Won

your wants fully supplied. but
that you will find many new sug-

1.-THE little leaven that leaveneth the
whole lump, as they claim for them
selves) can spread over a large surface
even if they have to resort to the use
of a well assorted list of platitudes to
do it. The report of the Executive
Committee is an interesting chapter
of what they accomplished and what
they might have accomplished if they
could have got the Legislature in the
proper frame of mind. The greatest
friction however they found with the
railroad authorities, their report on
which will be found elsewhere on this
page. They however have reached
the conclusion that if the people will
choose only men of integrity and true
patriotism to represent them as legis-
lators, our transportation matters can
be remedied without injury to the rail-
road. In a general way they favor
unrestricted commerce with all nations
free Trade or Reciprocity favor the
State taking control of the railroad
lines, endorse the action of the Ma
tional Grange in lOaning money to
members of the order who are bur-
dened with debt, &C., &c. There is no
doubt but the grangers have made an
impress for good in the general inter-
ests of the agricultural community
and if they push the matter with wis
dom and force, may yet effect the legis-
lation so much desired.

An Ordarlu Ghost

ghost is worth more in controlling }
Saturday night crowd than a hal
dozen policemen. 1t might be worth
something to our exehequer, If the
town authorities could have q ghost
engaged for regular Saturday night
duties throughout the season. Such
was the effect in our municipality from
scare that took deep hold Of the col.
ored population and the boys and girls
who are out late at night but know
they ought to be at home, from a cred
ible story that got aioat through the
week that ghost had been seen sew
eral nights in succession in different
parts of the town, after bed time AT
ten o'clock, when there is usually a
crowd about the -four corners" Of
restless whites and noisy negroes, the

the learned professions, or mechanic

land each year, while more than a half
million, who are mostly the, off-scOur-
ings of Europe, are thrown into our
seaboard cities and towns to the disad-
vantage and displacement of American
labor. Protection to American indus
tries is one thing, but protection to
American labor is quite another thing
unless the tariff applies to persons as
well as commodities, and American
labor is beginning to see it in that
light.
The political party that first takes
mp the idea of protection to American
labor against foreign immigration and
adheres to it, will be the party that
will get the American labor vote.

ments of foreign countries; Chicago,

conversions at these meetings have not met
the expectations of pastor or membership
but an unusual good feeling has peryaded
the latter throughout. Sunday evening
the crowds were said to beas large or larger
than was ever known at Bethel, and some
scamps outside made use of the opportu-
nifty to carry of blankets and whips from
the carriages. The officials of the church
talk of taking some means of detecting the
parties or at all events to adopt some Safe

disposed people would likely be deferred
from attending the evening services.
