The cold weather during the past

TO a close, and excepting those who
occupy cottages. there are very few
people LETT at Ocean City. We would

few days of it warm weather usually
follows.

gressional campaign was going on, Mr..

candidates, Miles and Henry, named

The steam mill boiler bel onging
to Mr.. John J. Collins, which was adj
vertised in the MESSENGER, has been
sold to a man in Delaware and was
this week moved from the lot on which

destroyed Mr.. Collins mill. This fire,
rs all will remember, followed soon
after the conhagration which destroyed
our town. and caused great fear lest it
might spread and destroy the remainder
OF the town. Mr.. Collins is fortunate
in selling this, the last of his mill
machinery.
