NErGHBORHoOD NOTES.
abssnlse.Ock-

We are very sorry to note that Mrs.
VIM. J. Doughty, who has been i'll
s ,veral weeks, is still confined to Ter
bed and suffering greatly from the
malady.
Our merchants are preparing their
spring farm supplies fertilizers, seeds
implements and cotton cloth ana
glass for hot beds-and in short
time our streets will again present q
busy scene.
Owing to continued inclement
weather and muddy roads, the people
here who have business ION the
road" have been greatly tiled up"
and have made very little progress
with January business.
The young gentlemen Of the town
are not keeping apace in the line OF
matrimony this season. OF the seven
young ladies of the town who have
been married since the fall, only one
was captured by resident. The
others reside in New York, Pennsyl-
yania, Delaware, Kentucky and in
other sections of this county.
A slight fire occurred this week at
the Onancock Barrel Company's fac
tory, at the foot OF King street, which
threatened the destruction of that
large building, but in answer to the
alarm. the hose truck and good
number of citizens were soon on the
spot and turned on a stream OF water
from the main which put out the
blaze in very short time.
The steamer Tangier failed to make
her regular trip here on the 18th lnst.
She left her dock in Baltimore at the
regular time and proceeded down the
river. but after an hours run and a
battle with heavy ice which had
drifted from the head of the bay, her
officers found it necessary to put
back. She was tied up again at her
dock and was the worse for the run.
Her passengers were transferred to
the steamer Pocomoke on the next
day and were landed here one day
behind time.

their Guide. The Golden Wedding
edition of vick's Garden and Floral

with It's twenty-four pages litho-
graphed in colors, and nearly one
hundred more pages filled with hand
some alf-.one illustrations. photo
prapheu from Flowers, Fruits, Vege-
tables az homes.
While this Guide is really too ex
pensive to give away, they give it
with IA Due Bill for 25 cents worth of
seeds for only ID cents. Another new
feature is the doing away with the
old packet of Vegetable Seeds and
stating the quantity in each case, the
buyer getting more for his money.
