The Wilmington daily Republican. (Wilmington, Del.) 1890-1902, 1893-03-10

Ibeg to DO excused for not keep
ing our readers better posted In our
welfare, but since your Correspondent
has been absent for few days this
will account for 1t. Mr.. Joe Cham.
bers has returned from Washington
and rejoices In telling his many
friends he never witnessed nobler
and more enthusiastic set of mon. He
also had the extreme pleasure of shak-
ing hands with the Hon. Mr.. Cleve-
land "and realizing solid democra. o
shake. He Is almost ready to hayo
our school flag raised on Democratic
pole with Cleveland rope, free from
knots and bid 1t wave forever.
Our farmers have been ANNOYED with
chicken thieves. Agreat many roosts
have been visited, and now, as many
guns hav been loaded and are lying
In walt for these contemplate visitors.
1t will be great pity II they are not
peppered with shot and visit to New
| Castle.
The roads are getting much better.
and II the walking is good we hope
our Stanton friends will not forget to
attend the supper at Marshallton FRI
day and Saturday nights OF this week.
We ought to show them as much favor
as they do us. We hear the supper
promises to be one OF the best of the
season, and we know it should be.
just step over and try cup of their
tea or coffee and you will never re-
greet it.
The sick of our town at present are
convalescent excepting Herbert Ham
ilton, who is Ill with typhoid fever.
The typhoid malaria is still lirger'
ing with us; we often hear OF a new
| case, but nothing serious results.
Don't forget our Mite Society at G.
7. Dickey's next Tuesday evening. A
lively time is expected. Don't miss it,
1t takes all kinds of people to make
the world and Stanton has them. Not
long since a young lady was finishing
her morning chores, when she politely
asked friend to move as he was in
the road. Alas. he must Of been deaf.
He all at once seized her by the throat
leaving the banjo to play for itself.
Last, but not least, don't fail to heal
Ralph and Ruth. 18th. You will miss
the half of your life if you do. The
Hall Company should be encouraged
by your presence and your quarters
For many years Stanton stood still
without any life whatever in 1t and
since the hall has been built our town
has Increased TO meetings of all kinds
and the Hall Company Is ever willing
to rent Bard Hall on reasonable terms,
They need help as well as other or.
ganizations.
For some time q gold watch has been
waiting at j. Mitchelrs store for the
arrival OF the one who guessed how
many beans were in a jar. Mr.. Ed
Powell, the lucky man, has almost
pulled himself to pieces trying to guess
the number, out of 1000 cigars to
smoke in the box. He only smoked
995. and his extra good luck drew the
watch. This same young man would
as leave play somersault in the mud
as on straw, but it is handy to have
some one close by to catch the critter
or else his doom would have been to
walk home.
Strange to say, SO many wondered
at our coal team quite an improvement
on the snail gallop. This shows what
tho 4th of March has done for Stanton
We hear the chills are raging in
Christiane since their defeat. ''Brag
dog is poor one." Hero Is a good
idea: Why does not Stanton lave @
patrol wagon and then our people
need not go to Wilmington no take O
ride in one, but | suppose our brother
became very tired, poor sour
More than anxious we are to see our
paper boy bringing the news. But
here Is one troubles: sometimes his
customers are not supplied with pa
per, and why? Because our men in
going to work on the night turn will
anxiously wait for the good old RE
PUBLICAN. knowing its reading matter
to lie interesting and profitable, tn ere
