1t is really surprising how many men
there are who knew in advance exactly
how the election was going and yet didn' t
profit cent by the knowledge.
Cards have been issued for the we'd
ding of S. c. Evans and Miss Cora Pitcher

A stranger in a town always expects
its citizens to first show disposition to
be friendly. Never Judge a new conner
until you have shown him this respect.
You will perhaps never find out his true
and social qualities until you meet him
half way.

have the check framed and hung up
in his house as an evidence of "Uncle
SANS squareness.
Delaware soil is turning out some man.
moth potatoes this season. The claim of

By the discontinuance of the post Office
It Knowles, the residents of that section
will be compelled to drive to Georgetown,
! distance of five miles, to procure their
nail. As that section is thickly populated,

When man finds that he cannot dis a
uss politics or religion with out becom
ng excited and getting angry, he g
hould never attempt it. Every man j

1hen he can not be@ourteous and polite
4 such expressions it would be better to a
emain silent. Facts are stubborn things o
nd cannot be changed by mere opinion, u
nd when we, find the facts against US it b
J far better to submit gracefully and
ield the point. r
