SURPRISE Party

The members of Damon Lodge No. II,
K of P. of this town have an established
reputation for surprise parties. It has
been their custom for many years to 50
visit one @ their members, but none of
their past efforts has succeeded better
than on Wednesday evening, November
9th, when they assembled at the home
of Joseph G. Jolls on North Broad street
The occasion was the thirty-sixth ami
yersary of his birthday, and to say that
he was surprised but family expresses it.
In the past it has been Mr. Jolls' boast
that he knew what the Knights of
Pythias were doing, having only missed
attending his lodge but twice in his four
teen years membership. But, when bus
iness is transacted outside and with the
help of his wife he is convinced not only
that he does not know it all, but also
that several women can keep secret.
The lodge, as usual was accompanied by
the Middletown Orchestra who furnished
delightful music for those who desired to
dance. Games and sociability occupied
the time and attention of the non-dancers
until Mrs. Jolls summoned them to sup
per. Along ''in the hours the guests
departed. leaving a handsome souvenir
of their visit and wishing the brother
many happy returns. The members and
their friends present were: Messrs. ]. T.

THANKSGIVING


In accordance with the proclamation Of
our President business was set aside in
MiddIetown on Thursday and large con-
gregations gathered at our churches, and
offered up thanks to God for His many
blessings bestowed upon them during the
past year. That tile year has been q
prosperous one is conceded by all, and
we truly have much to be thankful for.
The farmer has received good prices for
his crops; the mechanic is receiving a
fair price for his labor, and all over our
little State there is an air of prosperity.
Unlike previous Thanksgiving Days Of
late years in some respects, Thursday
was cold, the Thermometer registering
20 degrees above zero in the early
morning, and those who had made ar
rangements to spend the day out doors
felt the first real winter weather Of the
season, and many were disappointed in
this respect.
The Presbyterian and Methodist
Churches held their annual union Thanks
giving service in the NJ. E. Church at
1880 O'Clock in the morning, DR.. Moore
preaching the sermon.
At St. Annes' p E. Church, the Rev.
w. ]. Wilkie preached d to a large congre-
CATION in the morning.
In the afternoon many Of our people
witnessed the first big shoot of the
newly organized Middletown Shooting
Association, and many expressed them
selves as being surprised to find the
club 50 nicely equipped in their new
quarters.
In the evening the aOld Maids Con-
Yention' was given at the Opera House,
by the Ladies' Mite Society, and large
crowd spent a delightful evening watch
ing cold Maids in their search for d
man. The supper which followed was
pleasing feature Of the evening program,
and netted the ladies several extra dollars.

contest quite crowd of spectators were
present. Wilmington was well repre-
serted, and in all about 100 visitors
helped to swell the crowd.
All Of the visitors were delighted with
the location of the grounds, some claim
ing the back grounds to be the finest in
the State, while the artistic signs recently
painted on the club house by Mr.. Walter
Monro, come in for their share of praise.
The many prizes given by various
firms, and offered by the club, which
had been on exhibition in the window OF
Mr.. w s, Letherbury were much adj
mired BY all. and at the conclusion Of
the days sport they were taken by the
lucky ones to all parts of the peninsula.
While the local gunners won goodly
number of them, the first prize was cap
tured by gentleman from SudlersviIle,
Nd, it being gentleman's dress suit
case.
The merchandise shoot was the most
part Of the days program.
The day was not an ideal one for the |
sport, and many of the best shots of the
State who participated made very poor
records, which was undoubtedly due to |
tile high winds.

here, and this boy gives or sells
other boys under the prescribed
age their supply The boys
buying it are too young TO be
