A NEW WORD COINED.

The Wayfarer has heard OF the
vegetarian, the octogenarian, the mono
genarian and the centenarian, but not
until yesterday did he ever hear OF the
"nothinarian. Still, IL is a wonder
fully good word, even If not found in
any of the unabridged dictionaries now
on the market.
A Wilmington woman was In one or
the public offices transacting some
business and the conversation drifted
to the condition of a family with
whom both the official and the woman
were acquainted, but the official only
slightly so.
Mrs. So-and-So is a splendid wo-
man." said the visitor "She works
hard day and night to get along, but
her husband-well, he is a nOthin-
arian.'
The official did not understand her at
first, but presently she renewed her
commentary upon the poor man and
said emphatically.
"IIe is as near nothing as any man
know"
That is the definition Of this@new
word, "nothinarian."

superintendent Cleaver, of the Del
aware and Chesapeake canal, resides
at Chesapeake City, but is known to
many Wilmingtonlans and to many
more Philadelphians. He gets more
fun out of his niclSels than he does out
OF his dollars, for he is an inveterate
practical joker and delights in making
street car conductors his victims. 1t Is
his custom, when riding in car, 20
offer a fare to the conductor every time
he comes around and to tell him he de-
sires 90 get off at some particular

nickel, but he never grumbles, and
when the conductor. who has taken Il
comes around next time another nickel

twenty-five years ago that, in the
course of few years, it would be pos
sible for lawyer to stand in his Of
fee in the city Of Wilmington and con-
verse with a lawyer standing in his

ton lawyer just as satisfactorily as

tice-said all 1 had TO say, and with
just as much satisfaction and effect as

rARNnNG THAT PAYS

A correspondent Of the Darlington Mes
senger lays down the proposition tnat
one acre Of Darlington land viii pay bet
ter than a thousand dollars invested IN
bank stock or lent az 10 per cent interest,
and proves f. He explains. moreover,
that DE does not mean highly improved.
cultivated land" but such as can be
bought from seven 20 ten dollars per
acre.
The proof is not made on paper alone.
Il has been made on the land. Two
years ago. Mr. j. H. Privett Jr, pur-
chased tract OF land in Darlington for
$500 OF az the price of about seven
dollars an acre. It's area, therefore. was
about $40 acres. last year ls3O be plant
ed twelve acres en- tobacco and realized
$500 net profit on that crop alone, bee
sides what was made on a cotton crop
of thirty or forty bales and other gem
eral crops grown on the same tract
This year bee planted eighteen acres in
tobacco. and "has sold $1,000 worth, and
has seven barns fun yet for sale.' lie
sold last week three barns for $3.50. which
was at the average price OF twenty-one
cents pound and IL is estimated that the
crop OF the eighteen acres will yield
net profit OF $500 The estimated eX-
pense OF making 30 is $50 per acre.
The profits OF the two successive crops.
on twelve and eighteen acres, equivalent
% one crop Of thirty acres. 60 Sc seen.
have nearly paid the purchase price OF
the whole $40 acres OF tho tract on which
Il was grown. And the profits on the
large cotton and general crops are TO be-
added. To is plain therefore, that the
price Of the whole tract could have been
paid out OF the profits OF one years crops
Including a crop OF thirty acres of TO-
hlcco. Otherwise stated tho go acres
have been paid for out o. the profits ~
the two years crops including an aver
age crop Of only fifteen acres OF tobacco
