The Wilmington daily Republican. (Wilmington, Del.) 1890-1902, 1893-06-01


Our readers were almost weary walt
ing for a Stanton letter. and we are
certainly pleased to read the little
sketches about our neighbors and
friends, provided they keep in a good
humor and are as willing to take q
Joke as to give one. Ono OF our most
fashionable topics OF the town is a
new style Of gate, called back break
ers. We have at present a double one.
near the centre OF our town. lexpect
every reader will run out to look at
his gate as soon as lie reads this. A
great many OF us are thinking OF
changing the name OF this town and
call It Cat Town. Mrs. Ida HoltsiZer
and son of Chambersburg, are visiting
Mrs. Powell of this place. Mrs. Lydia
Cham bers Of Newark, who was the
guest OF her parents, Mr.. and Mrs
VIM. Bracken. Is visiting friends In
Wilmington.
Some people always meet with good
luck. A few days ago lady from this
town was visiting above Newark, and
after being landed safely at certain
depot, she found, much to her surprise,
the trains run exactly to suit them
selves. and having q good good deal
OF courage, ventured to ask kind old
la ly to keep her all night. This was
ldone, and somebody was terribly
'pleased-not left yet.
Something new will soon appear in
our town and some folks will feel left.
A new coal wagon. a new driver and
new coal, all in the possession OF John
Marvel, one OF our most obliging citi-
'zens. We hope his many friends may
remember him when their coal bin Is
empty.
