There is no use to rebel against this mystic

APARTMENT HOUSES IN WILMINGTON.

A few experiments in the way OF
apartment houses in Wilmington-one
OF them, at least, constructed on up
to-date lines and provided With all
modern onveniences-have been made
with fairly profitable results. 1t is not
improbable that such houses will take
decided place in the future building
operations OF this city.
II ia suggested that a completely
appointed, modern apartment house in
the northwestern seoti0n of the city
would prove a paying Investment, at
rates within the reach OF persons Of

Four men tried to play a joke few
nights ago on farmer living near
Cooch's Bridge. They were acquainted
with him and thought they would create
some excitement about his farm, and en-
tered his water melon patch shortly after
dark.
The farmer had heard of their inten-
tons, however, and he was ready for
them. he and two other men armed
themselves with shotguns and vent to
the field, where they hid themselves and
waited. When the jokers arrived one OF
the armed men shot his gun in close
proximity to one of the intruders, and
although it had been fired in the air, the
jokers were badly frightened. 1t was
dark and as they thought they were
being shot at they left the field as rap
idly as possible, and one of the watchers
fired parting shot, which caused the re-
treating men to increase their speed.
One of the latter ran into piece Of farm
machinery and injured himself slightly
