you allow the two poor little Lewis
children TO be returned TO the brute
who calls himself their father? He
should be tarred and feathered. For
Gods sake prove that you have some
feelings of humanity in your hearts,
From woman who has children of her
own.
A special from Denton, saws the
best citizens of the town are outspoken
in denouncing the lynching OF Marshall
+. Price and that Caroline county peo-
pie claim that the lawless act was per-
petrated by Delawareans, who came
across the state line masked and on
horseback that night. A negro living
near the state line was in Denton Tues
day and asserted that the riders passed
his house about 8 o'clock Tuesday
night. The horsemen came across the
border, he says, and several stopped at
his pump trough TO water their horses.
Among the many sins charged to
big sleeves, one is the lamentable falling
OFF in marriages. The men are filing
their complaints, but the sleeves are as
baloon-like as ever. One young man
in dolorous tones, says those abomina-
bic sleeves are ever between him and
the object of his desire. If perchance.
he once gets TO sit anywhere near her,
she exclaims, "Oh, Charlie, do sit
further away, don't you see you are
MASKING my sleeves all out of shape"
II they go driving he must sit bais, on
the edge. If they go walking. he has
to take the curbstone or the road. for
the baloon-sleeves have monopoly of
the sidewalk. The only really happy
men are the little fellows who don't
reach sleeve high.
Mrs. Rhode Noah, of this place,
was taken in the night with cramping
pains and the next day diarrhoea set
in. She took half bottle of black
berry cordial but got no relief. She
then sent to me TO see if ! had any
thing that would help her. sent her
bottle of Chamberlain's Collie, Cholera
and Diarrhoea Remedy and the first
dose relieved her. Another of our
neighbors had been sick for about a
week and had tried different remedies
for dlarrhoea but kept getting worse.
| sent him this same remedy. Only
four doses OF it were required TO cure
him. He says he owes his recovery to
this wonderful remedy.-Mrs. Mary

What promised at the outset to be
a very interesting game of ball but
terminated in too many runs being
scored, was played at the Worcester
County Driving Park Monday after
noon by the Professionals and Mer-
chants, the first composed of doctors,
lawyers, teachers and others, and the
second of the young business men OF
the town. For the Professionals Raw
Smith was put in the pitchers box and
Professor Spence played behind the
bat. For the Merchants Claud Nor
gan twirled the ball and John Petit
played behind the bat. For the five
innings the score was kept down to )
to 2 in favor of the Merchants, but ON
the sixth the Merchants made nine
runs and the Professionals lost hope.
The game terminated with II runs
scored to the account of the Professionals
and IS for the Merchants.
We had an account last week of
the trip of the Crocodile Club of Easton
to Ocean City. but we did not tell
good joke on them. Col. Smith of
Snow Hill has number of friends who
are members of the club, and they con.
cluded to take their band over to his
cottage and give him a serenade. The
band played one of its sweetest airs,
Senator Tilghman sang a beautiful
solo, and another prominent gentlemen,
it is said, made an eloquent address; all
this in honor of Col. Smith, who was
expected to appear in due time After
the performance was over, a strange
lady appeared upon the scene, thanked
the gentlemen for their favors and pre-
sented them with boquet Of flowers.
All the time this was going on Col.
Smith was soundly sleeping at his
home here in Snow Hill, perfectly
oblivious of the honors done him, and
the Club afterwards ascertained that
he was not occupying the cottage
this summer, but Baltimore lady
had rented it early in the season and
she considered the serenade a special
compliment to her.
