CHEswo1D April 9.-Later advices
concerning the rural delivery postal
system for Kent county leaves our
post office remaining still a delivery
and headquarters for our lural postal
route as follows: From Cheswold to
farm residence of the late Julian G.
Emerson thence returning by State
road to road passing by r. M. Cooper,
thence by Middle Mill to the NOVEL;
farm, thence by 'Seven Hickeries," it
ia supposed to Cheswold Our people
are pleased to have our Office retained,
but they and Postmaster Geo. B.
Moore, fear that much of its former
business will be cut by the new sys-
TEN. The business of our post Office
has increased with the years especially
the money branch of it.
J. H. Bishop, road overseer for this
vicinity, is replacing bridges and
small trunks where required on his
route by fire clay sewer pipes i'll sizes
running from 10 to 30 inches diameter.
The additional cost is but trifie more
and in some cases even less it is said
and a lifetime job when completed
with a few inches of dirt over them
they are said to bear the heaviest pres
sures npon them.

void Church last Thursday evening

Rev. Robert Roe and family moved
to Cheswold last Friday. Ladies from
both churches had the parsonage reno
vated and brighted to receive them.
A formal reception for Rev. and Mrs.
Roe was arranged by the ladies to
come off Tuesday evening of this
week to be held in Cheswold Church.
Two attractions brought good aud
fence to church last Sunday morning.
First, Easter, the growing festaI an
niversary throughout Christendom
of our Lords resurrection, and
second, desire to hear the new pastor.
The choir had prepared special music
aud the ladies had placed about the
chancel a modest decoration Of palms
and potted flowers. Rev. ROe's SER
mon appropriate for the day was
founded on a text found in Matthew
evening to a large and very attentive
audience he spoke on mans darkness
and the mysteries surrounding him
based on the words of Paul to the
Philippians, "Now we see through a
glass darkly." In the closing remarks
and appreciation of his subject he ex.
horted his audience to search the
truth as found in Gods revealed
word accept it and put their trust in
it.
The addition to J. II. Anders on's
building is nearing completion. 1t will
