at the great change and material develop
ment that has come to Wilmington during
1891 is fitting. First ami foremost, of
course, is the completion of the railroad
which has been the great question of agi-
tation for so many years While it is to
be regretted that it does not help us in the
way of county business and travel, bring
ing us no nearer Brattlebor) or the county
seat, no one will dispute its great advan-
tage, and we believe all will ultimately adj
init it to be of the highest benefit, as
convenience and as leading factor in
opening up future enterprises. Renewed
exertons are being put forth by the man
agement to increase business at the Ra-
ponda Hotel, and undoubtedly the influx
of summer visitors next season will be
materially increased. The Forest and
Stream club are manfesting great energy
| and enterprise in improving their extern
sive property and cannot fail to benefit
us in large measure. Several new houses
have been erected during the season, not
ably those of DR.. 4. W. Rice and Samuel
G. Pike, and the Times building. In short,
there is a prevailing spirit of ambition and
enterprise which is laudable and presages
progress AMI improvement. Let the good
work 90 on.

he found the old well and orchard he had
heard his father tell about, but the old
