June roses were never in more beaut:-
full profusion than now. Some of the
well kept yards in our town have been
bowers of beauty for the past week.
They are Of all shades and colors, and Of
every size and variety.
Now that the hot summer days are fast
approaching, it is the appropos time to
flush the water mains and rid them of the
accumulation of the foreign matter lodged
in them during the past winter. THE
TRANSCRIPT respectfully calls the atten-
ton of the town commissioners to the
time and necessity.
Damon Lodge, No. II, K. of P, held
an interesting meeting on Wednesday
evening when the Third Rank was con-
ferred on three of our prominent young
men. The members of the lodge wanted
to impress the lesson on the candidates,
SO they imported some assistance from
Wilmington, and if the new Knights
can be considered as good authority on
the subject, they succeeded in their de-
sire. The visitors were: G. c., E. L.
Beeson; G. O. g., W. H. Berger; P. G..
C's, J. B. Tucker and G. H. Simmons;
P. C.'s, Frank Woolley and E. Melchior,

The many friends of Mr.. Levi Dick
inson, in this section will learn with re-
gret of his serious illness at his home in
Chesapeake City, Md. Mr.. Dickinson
while standing in one of the blacksmith
shops of the above named town last Fri
day was suddenly seized with g stroke Of
paralysis, his entire body being affected.
His brother Mr.. John W. Dickinson O.
this town, has been at his bed side several
times during the week, and while he
thinks there has been some improvement
in his brothers illness, he fears it will be
sometime before he will be out again.
Mr.. Dickinson is in his 66th year.
There is an effort being made by some
of our clerks to have shorter work day
during the Summer months, and we un-
derstand with but one exception all of the
merchants who have been called on have
expressed their willingness to close their
stores at six o'clock each evening during
the week, excepting Saturday, thus CIV
ing their tired clerks an opportunity to
get out Of the hot stores and enjoy the
evenings in the open air. Similar petit
tions have been circulated in late years,
and their failure have usually been due
to the failure of one or two merchants
refusing to listen to such move.
The will of the late Mrs. Annie R.
Griffith, was admitted to probate in the

ran, $50, and Mrs. Jennie Pennington,

Mr.. L. E. Paterson, of Perryville, Nd,
has contracted with the Pennsylvania
Railroad Company to make many
Improvements at the railroad station in
this town. On the north and south
sides of the station be will erect two
umbrella sheds l6x32 feet The sheds
will doubtless prove to be great conven'
fence to the patrons Of the road, as here
tofore those desiring to board or step of
Of North bound trains were compelled to
walk some distance without shelter, and
to the lady patrons of the road it was
yery inconvenient during wet, rainy
weather. In addition to the above inn
proyements, they have added hot water
