He shook him off and got up, When

A Chance to See the Worlds Fa r
Cheap.

The success of the Woman's Dorni-
tory Association Of the Worlds Colum-
bian Exposition, and the immense num-
bers of letters received by that Associa-
tion, expressing an earnest desire for a
Family Dormitory, where husbands and
wives, brothers and sisters. may stay econ
omically and comfortably under the same
roof, during their visit to the Columbian
Exposition, was the incentive that led to
the incorporation and organization of the
enterprise to which your attention is
called.
The promoters know that there are
numberless families in every State and
Territory who desire to visit Chicago dur
ing the fair, but who feel that their hopes
cannot be realized because their moder-
ate means will not permit the exorbitant
prices which usually prevail at such times
Not only do slender purses stand in the
way of a realization of their desires, but
there are also the dangers of great city
(crowded with all sorts and condition of
people), that cannot be overlooked when
the question arises Can we go to see
the wonders of the world gathered at Chi
cagO without too great a sacrifice of
money, and feel at home there?
The Dormitory Association is on the
stock plan. A share costs $Io and enti-
ties the holder to occupy a room for
twenty days. Each share has coupon
good for one day to the holder. This
does not include meals. The rooms are
partitioned off, aud child sleeps with
its parents free, or two children in one
bed for one coupon. The building is
only two stories and every room fronts
the street. Stockholders are not liable
for any obligations or participate in the
emoluments-the occupancy of roems
being their only privilege. Electric cars
pass the door and it is only FIVE minutes
ride to the fair grounds. Further partic-
ulars of this enterprise may be had from
Mrs. Mary P. Kinder. of the Delaware
Worlds Fair Commission.

Charles H. Maull, of Lewes, has
been appointed Deputy Collector of

DR.. RidgeIey's opinion is that the
peach trees have not been injured
by the severe cold. The largest crop
we ever had was preceded by win
ter in which the mercury touched
SO below zero. The Doctor SAYS the
bearing twigs are mature ard firm,
and the trees perfectly dry; so that
they are not easily frozen.
A great many potatoes, which far
mers in the upper part of Cecil
county were holding for higher
prices, have frozen.
Terrence Carvin, of Leipsic, has
bought the Laurel House, at Laurel

The Smyrna town commissioners
have appointed a committee COM
posed of William FAIRIES, James c..
Robinson and j. III. Hoffecker to ex-
anime the question of u system of
sewerage for that town. 1t is pro.
posed to bond the town for the con
struction of sewers.
There is considerable anxiety about
the peach crop, says the Denton
Union. AS a general rule 100 below
zero is sufficient to kill the buds and
the thermometer has registered as
low as 10. TIE fruit growers, how
ever, have some hope on account of
the extremely dry condition of the
buds.
