which contains 1900 acres of fine land.
The fine old mansion was built in
1850, and on the rain spouts figures OF
''raccoons" were placed, and the home
named "The Coon Den" At the an

few of the "COOns" who did not gel
rounded up, and therefore escaped
branding. Letters from Chancell'l
Nicholson deprecated the fact, that he
was compelled to read the Declaration
of Independence at Dover, and Gov

reason, but the dinner went on regard

Joy a vacation at either of these sum-

the balance of humanity were swelter-

at the bayshOre were comfortable.
Last Sunday large number of peo-
pie gathered at the shore, from the
nearby towns of Harrington, Green

coin and IS took supper with Mr.. Rey-
nolds at the new hotel. There was con-

follows:
Stewed oysters. Fried Oysters

Soft Shell Crabs.
Fish. Spring Chicken, fried.
Cold Ham. Hot Rolls.
Tea. Coffee.

how Mr.. Reynolds can make anything
serving such meal for so cents.

and a competent man in charge, ant

a farmer near Milford; William Nc

Miss Lottie McNair. From the las
marriage was born Misses Jennie anC
Maggie McNair, who also reside in thi
