youne Folks at sunny Lawn,

A merry party of young people assembled
at the home Of Mr.. and Mrs. James L. Col
Inns, near town on Tuesday evening, where
delightful evening was spent. The party
was given by Mr.. and Mrs. Collins in honor
of their nephew, Gray Taylor. previous to
his return to the Bordentown Military

hosts, and the event was pleasant close OF

That is the Question That Young,

A recent communication from Young,
Smyth, Field & Co., to G. w. w. Naudain
gives the information that that firm will
discontinue their Philadelphia factories and
remove them either to Middletown or
Bridgeton, n. ]. They want to know what
inducements Middletown will offer them.
A proposition was offered to the firm some
time ago in reference to the new addition
to the shirt factory, and the money neces-
sary to erect it was raised at that time. 1t
is probable that the same proposition VII
again be subm itted.

THE CIGARETTE Law.
To be Enforced In Wilmington and
Mfddletown Might do Well


The cigarette habit among small boys in
Wilmington has become such nuisance
the chief of police has given notice that
the cigarette law passed at the last session
of the General Assembly enforced. The
law imposes fine OF 500 and costs upon
any cigar dealer who sells cigarettes to a
boy under II wears of age.
Middletown as we'll as Wilmington would
be much benefited by enforcing the law.
The pernicious habit is increasing with our
boys, and besides the personal injury to
their health and intellect, there is nothing
more disgusting than to meet a boy, scarce
outof dresses. putting away at cigarette.
If the law can be enforced in Wilmington,
why not in Middletown.

omy of the church requires the official sane.
tion of the Bishop who may preside at the
coming session of conference. which will be
held in Salisbury, Md, next March.
The possible changes already spoken oi
are Rev. J. Y. Dobbins, of Grace Church, to
Orange, N. j., succeeded by I'r. Hulburd,
of Philadelphia. The transfer of DR.. HUI
burd from Philadelphia will open the W; ,
for the transfer Of Rev. ]. D. C. Hanna to thl !
conference, as DIR. Neely Gesires.
There is much speculation as to who will
be the pastor Of Asbury Church, the SER
vices of DR.. W. L. s. Murray would be ac-
ceptable but his pastorate in Dover is not
yet complete and with the present outlook
there is no reason why a change should be
made, though the late announcement of
his appointment as Dean of college in
Wilmington to "lodk after the moral con-
dition of the students" would indicate an
expectation of his friends that be may be a
pastor in that city.
The transfer Of Dr.. e L. Hubbard to the
Baltimore Conference will probable bring
minister of that conference to the Whining
ton Conference.
DR. ]. p. Otis will be transferred to the
New York East Conference which will be to
him return home. Rev. l. Jewell who
has labored so successfully in the building OF
Epworth Church will probably leave the
city and NAV be transferred to the Baltimore
Conference if an exchange can be made.
Rev. ]. B Quigg will probably seek
lighter work, He has worked hard and
with good success in the interests of Wesley
Church. Scott Church would be glad to se-
cure A s.. Mowbray for their pastor. Rev.
J. France will probably go to North East or
Newark and Rev W. G.. Koons to Brandy.

J. A. Arters, Rev. DR.. s. s. Morris. Rev. E.
s. Mace, Rev. J. Conner, Rev. DR.. D. F.
Waddell, and no doubt as the con ference
year shortens there will be many other pas
tors who will seek change and thus afford
the church an opportunity to suit their in
terests in the choice of pastors. This pre-
arrangement of the work is great relief to
the Presiding Elders when pastors and
