over the country state that on

San Antonio to announce round

one fare, plus 81, and good to re-

The entertainment for Thanksgiving
night this year, will be ofa highly interest,"
ing character. Those who are arranging it
are making every effort to have it one Of
the very best ever given. Experience has
proven that nothing pleases Middletown
audience more than a bright, humorous
play and that is what will be given on
Thanksgiving night. The title is We'd
ding March, and, from first to last is o
succession of grotesque and side-splitting
situations. 1t has been given with great
success in Wilmington, and those who
compose the caste are a guarantee that it
will be equally popular heres There will
be several other attractive features to the
programme that have not yet been an
nounced. Among those who are to take
part in the drama are DR.. ]. G. Sites, Louis
Barnard, III. C. Browne, J. C. Maxwell, E.
S. Jones, George NJ. Rose, J. s. Suydam,

After the play, which will consume
about an hour and quarter, the ladies of
the Mite Society will serve, in their usual
tempting style. their annual Thanksgiving
snpper, where every thing in the form of
delicious salads, oysters, ices, etc, will be
found for the satisfaction Of all. Don't fail

OUR LOCAL CHARITY.

Benevolent People VIII Have Oppor-
tunity to Share With the Poor.
Not for many years, if ever before has
there been such an appeal to the charitable
for help as will be made during the coming
winter. While there are large demands
every winter in our prosperous cities, the
rural sections and smaller towns have not
felt the pressure to any great extent. But
the indications now are that there will be
work for all to do, to tide over the great
depression SO seriously felt everywhere
There are those who are industrious and
worthy Of sympathy and all that can
should bedone in their material interest.
We believe there is no community on the
peninsula more ready and generous than
the people of our town to respond to the
call of need. In the dispensing of charity
there ought to be exercised the greatest
wisdom. so as not to put premium on
poverty and offer inducements to any who
are able to take care of themselves, to de-
pend upon others. In community like
this, where there is no regularly organized
society for the purpose of receiving and
dispensing help, the different churches
through some one of their societies or
guilds can do the work systematically
making careful investigation in every case;
thus protecting the socities. and allowing
no one within reach to suffer for food or
fuel. Promiscuous giving is no charity.
Let your gifts go through regularly author
lied channels.
1t may be there is slowed away in garretts
and lofts clothing that has been laid aside
and which the moth is consuming, that
ought to be brought down from the shelves
and boxes and sent to homes where the
deft fingers of wives and mothers would
transform them into comfortable apparel,

Like great cloud over the midday sun
was the news of her death to all ho knew
her. Death is ever grim monster, whose
presence chills all hearts, but his coming
seems never so irreconcilable as when the
home is robbed of wife and mother.
Mrs. Downs was born and raised in the
community where she has always lived,
and where she made for herself place in
the hearts Of the people that only she could
fill Rich and poor alike were her frieuds,
for she had that charm of person and
manner that drew all people to her.
She was the only child of William and

from happy girlhood to mature and
beautiful womanhood was marked by
rare filial devotion. OF a bright. happy dis
position, she carried sunshine wherever she

good cheer and bounty that was extended
to all was ever its great charm. She was
from childhood a member of the M E.
Church, and her life was that of consistent
christian. full of charity and good deeds.
Not only her family circle but the church
and community sustain no common loss in
her death.
About midsummer she was stricken
with typhoid fever, and though never
robust, her recovery seemed well assured;
but one relapse followed another until the
third resulted in death. Her funeral from
her late residence yesterday, was very largely
attended, many of the poor people
whom she had befriended, walked for miles
to pay last tribute to her memory.
Her pastor, Rev. T. H Hunter. oficiated,
and in beautiful and appropriate words
spoke of her past life and triumphant
death.
The increment was at Odessa.
