A FENNsvIIHIB PRCUHMARlTY

Fhe statement that there Is a town
OF some size within eight miles Of
Wilmington In which linen collars are
not sold VIII be received with incredu-
lous smiles by many readers OF the
Wayrareis g Note Book, but he wishes
to give poGitive assurance that there Is
sGch place, and that It's geographical
designation is Pennsville. II. j.
The weather of Saturday was mark
ed by great humidity, especially try
ing to man OF large proportions and
even more so to the collar around hls
neck.
Having "wilted" his collar the Way
iarer entered one OF the largest stores
in PennsEille.
Give me a collar, please" he SAID
addressing the proprietor
''What size DO you waRt?" he in
auirsd.
The number was given.
Paper or celluloid?" vas the IN
Quiry.
Linen" said the customer.
'I'm very sorry. but we don't keeT
them," answere& the storekeeper.
"Will YOU please direct me 90 a place
where they are kept An sToek?" the
Wayfarer said.
There are none sold In town." he
replied.
You don't mean to say that liHen
collars are not sold here at all?"
"Yes," he said. Nobody here deals
In them. Our only sales are those
made OF paper and celluloid. This pa
per collar is good for a day, any
how"
What increased the wonder of tht
Wayfarer was that subsequently he no
ticed that most OF the well-dressed mel
in the town wore linen collars whiet
they must have been forced to go tC
some other town to purchase.

are four men employed on the bridge
all OF them good and accommodating
fellows, two being on the day SHIFT and
the other two doing duty at night. It
is impossible for the Wayfarer to des-

ABOUT FREDERICKSBURG.
King George Darkies BoycottinG
Public schooIs-Quecr Owl.

FREDERICKSBURG VA, November
5.-(Special)-A species Of owl. known as
the "Monkey-Faced owl" was captured
in Stafford this week by Mr.. Harry Sulli-
van. 1t is a rare thing in this section,
and it attracted considerable attention
when brought here yesterday. Its body
and the under portion Of its wings are
white. while its back and head are OF
fawn color. Around the head, also, is
circle of brown feathers.
Reports received here from King George
to-day. concerning the dissatisfaction
among the colored people in that county
over the appointment OF white teachers
for their children, state that 1t is doubt
ful whether any OF the cOlored schools
with white teachers will remain open
longer than next week. The col1-2d REQ
pie stoutly affirm that, unless they are
provided with teachers OF their own race
they will keep their children at home. In
one school they pursued that course the
past week The school last year had Sr
attendance OF over fifty. The non. ap-
pointment Of colored teachers. however
was no fault of the School Board. They
gave every colored teacher who passed
the examination school, but as there
were not enough TO fill all the vacancies
the board supplied white teachers.
