Special Correspondence OF Gazette and Journal
Dover, Nov. 20.-William II. Ennis, re-
siding near town, brought suit against
Elisha Fossett for 500 damages. Satur-
day. Saturday night. October 18TH, Ennis
was driving up State street on his way

1t is understood that the First Baptist
Church congregation will open free soup
house in the little brick building near their
church, for the, benefit of the poor OF the
town. This move is general surprise 10
many of the people here, as it is thought
that there is no need OF such thing IN
this town. The impression here is that
| the citizens of the town were never more
abundantly provided for. There has been
| work for all in this section ever since the
| opening of spring and is yet for all who
want TO work. The GAZETTE's CORE
| spondent is informed that the Benevolent
| Society of the town, which has always
heretofore provided for all persons who
apply for food or clothing. has not thus
far had single call for aid. OF course
there are few worthless people here both
black and white, who boast of being able
to live without work, and to live we'll, by
begging.
