CHEswoLD, Jan. 23.-Messrs. H. G.
and J. NJ. Ford at their planning mills,
are saving chestnut shingles. Some
of our older and oberving citizens say
they have known chestnut shingles to
outlast cypress. If such be a fact,
there is an abundance of this timber in
this locality that could be well utilized.

DIR. Hanna preached last Sunday
at Cheswold a strong, and we must

tians "But God forbid that 1 should
glory save in the cross of our Lord
Jesus Christ by whom the world is
cruclfed unto me and 1 unto the
world" A collection for the Twen-
tieth Century Thank Offering fund
