Mr.. Kowalsky had returned about this

been unable TO procure the signature of
Mr.. Baldwin, who was at the racetrack,

the court il he could arrange to have him

Three Farms.

The road from Green Spring to
Prices Corner is lined by large and
thrifty farms, among which might espe-
cially be named those occupied by Jos.
Stephenson, VIM. B. Wilson and VIM.
Donovan. That occupied by Mr..
Stephenson looked so out of shape
when he commenced to reduce it to
order several years ago that it seemed
almost impossible to accomplish, but
with ak, grubbing hoe and Strengthened
fence rows, Mr.. Stephenson soon made
complete transformation of the place
making it desirable property in every
way.
Next to this is the home of VIM. B.
Wilson, large farm that had been
neglected though a new and attractive
dwelling was put on it several years
ago. A marked change is manifest on
this farm the past year: the hedge
rows have been carefully cleaned, the
poison oak and other creeping vines
removed from the fences and careful
and attentive husbandTy is apparent
everywhere. The breadth that Mr.
Wilson has in corn this year-75 acres
will show the scope of farming.

William Donovan, is also one of large
dimension, and has been reclaimed anC

DELAWARE county, Pa, has been in

fraudulent naturalization papers to

A Needed Improvement.

The pedestrian going up Main street

liantly lighted windows of T. B. Me-
gear & Son. AS one of our citizens has
said, I'VE are getting more like city

front of Megear & Sons store can be
but fair example, and now from an
old and almost cumbersome front, they
can boast of having one of the most
beautiful in town.
The property belongs to w. NJ. Bell,
who has had the work executed. The
old bulk windows and doorway which
were rather cramped and unshapely,
have been torn entirely away and two
handsome new ones, much larger in
proportion and containing large French
plate glass have been put in its place.

The politicians of the United States
are in the saddle. This is no unmean-
ing phrase this year, for 1894 promises
to eclipse in interest even a presidential
election. In fact, it promises to fore
shadow the campaign of 1896. For
this reason all the talent of the vari-
GUS parties is already being brought to
the front, prepared to jump into the
breach which partisan strife will en-
gender, and primed with a mass OF
campaign material, growing out of the
silver, the tariff and the Hawaiian con-
trOversies of the last year. Local issues
will be merged in those created by the
leaders of the nation, and as over
twenty United States Senators are to
be chosen by the legislatures which are
to be elected this year, and an entirely
new House of Representatives is to b'
voted for, a change in the complexion
of the legislative branch of the country
lies in the balance.

The action of the Investigation Com
mittee of Delaware College, in vindi-
eating DIR. A. N. Raub was a good
step. DIR. Raub has done more toward
building up Delaware College than any
of his predecessors and his administra-
tion has been one for the best interests
of the college. He is an educator and
an able man and so long as he main
tains the curriculum of the college tC
a proper standard, so will this institu
tion maintain its place alongside OF
other colleges of its rank. Much of the
disturbance in this matter has beer
