it is a surprise TO me how little
the advantages and possibilities Of
your county are known and ap-
preciated by the Williamsburg
people, to say nothing Of persons
looking sov homes or investments.
Now take ,lor instance, the char

good artesian we'll for all the

there is there are not enough OF
them, and they do not seem to me
to take pride enough in their
homes and county. There are some
things your people should do.
They should begin at home and
make their places more attractive
with paint and BY having grasses
or flowers around their houses. A
stranger from some other section
where attention is paid TO these
things passing through the county
would be wrongly impressed as. to
the people. He would think that
people willing to live in such un-
attractive homes could not be
attractive themselves and would
hesitate TO bring his family among

CeIestiais Garry Food to the Burial Places

Six Cinnamon went to the Whining.
ton and Brandywins cemetery Sunday
afternoon for their periodical visit to
the graves of the two Cinnamon buried
there. The two Celsstials are San.
Lee, who was inferred August Both,
1881, and Les Mung Alb, whose burial
took place November Gath, $780, 1t Ia
the custom OF their fellow countrymen
to visit the graves in april and August
of each year.
Sunday thu six visitors separated
into two parties, each party decorating
a grave. Chinese paper was burned and
rice wine poured on the flames. Chicken,
bacon. cakes apples and oranges were
placed on tho graves. The popular idea
ia that Cinnamon supposed that the
dead mems spirits are benefited by the
fnod, but according to what China
man once said it is To show the dead
that they are remembered.
After the edibles bad been on the
graves awhile, the visitors made sort
OF obvisance and concluded the cere-
mony. All the food was taken away
with them which is change from the
custom Of earlier years, when it was
allowed to remain. But in those days
it was temptation to doga and chill
dren and at the request of the superin-
tendent OF the cemetery the food is re-
moved at the conclusion OF the cere-
mony.

FORTY YEARS A PASTOR.

Congregation of Ola School Baptist church
COMMUNICATES Elder Rittcnhouse's An
niversary.
Tho congregation Of this Old School
Baptist Church, King street, between
Tenth aud Eleventh, on Saturday and
Sunday observed the completion of a
40 years. pastornte by Elder Ephrsim
Rittenhouse. The elder resides at State
Road and serves tho Bryn Zion Church
below Smyrna and the Old Cow Marsh
Church, below Dover,in addition to the
Wilmington Church. Elder Francis
alternatea with him in this city.
The old church on King strset was
erected in 1855, and hence has an
especial interest. Ii has been used by
tho BaptistH ever since that time, con-
tinuing as Hardshell Baptist after the
division in the Baptiet church through
out the cnuntry in 1883. Elder Ritten-
house. who came here from New Jersey,
preached there number Of times and
finally tuok charge 10 1857. or the
congregation at that time, but one
member, Mrs. Naomi Taylor OF Chester,
Pa. is now living. The distinctive
difference between the Old and New
School BaptiHts is that the former do
not believe in bringing missionary and
temperance societies and Sunday schools
into the church. finding no ScripturEl
authority for them, whereis the new
school has these adiuncts. The Old
School Baptists use collection OF
hymns. hut have no musical instrn-
ments in their church. The interior oi
the edifics has recently boen repainted
and renovated.
At the services on SATURDAY after
noon the sermon was preached by Elder
Whitley Meredith of Delmar. Yesterday
Elder Silss Durand of southampton,
Pa, preached in tho morning.
Elder Rittenhouse spoke 10 remin-
iscent wien OF his 40 yeara' connection
with the church. The membership il

Elder Rit,srhouse, who is about 7e
years old, continues as pastor.

The old man who looks out a. the
world with clear and healthy eyes cannot
help feeling great qualification at the
thought that his children have inherited
from him no weakness nor tendency to
disease. The healthy old man is the man
who has throughout bis life kept his di-
gestlon good and his blood pure. Not
one in a thousand docs do it. Germs go
through the healthy body without effect,
Let them once ind Judgment or let them
find weak spot, they will develop BIZ
the million and the blood will be full Of
them. Instead of giving strength to the
tissues, it will force upon them innutri-
tious matter, and the man will lose flesh
and the more susceptible he is TO disease.
DR.. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery ia
the only medicine that absolutely and in
fallibly cures all blood diseases, and
almost all diseases are blood diseases II
isn't medicine for some one particular
so.called disease. II is medicine fol
the whole body. 1t forces out all the
germs of diseases, and replaces impurities
with rich, red blood.
