n,.,,s.. REGARD Of the Peuiu-u,n.

The business record OF the Del
marvia Peninsula for the year lSol,
as shown by figures furnished by H.
G. Dun g. Co, shows decrease OF
three In failures, an Increase OF $9I-
941 In liabilities. and a decrease OF
$50, 800 In assets over the figures Tor
1900. At first thought, this does not
seem as good showing as that OF
the previous year, but In reality the
loss to merchandise creditors was
about the same In both years
The district covered by the figures
comprises IA counties, New Castle,
Kent and Sussex OF Delaware; Cecil,
Kent. Queen Anne's, Talbot, Caro-
line, Dorchester, Wicomico, Somerset
andsWorcester, Maryland, and North
ampton and Accomac, Virginia.
About 5000 individuals, firms and
CORPORATIONS are in business in this
territory. In the first six months OF
1901 about 800 firms and corporations,
and ia the last six months about 800,
went out of business. In the first Six
months there were about LOO and
in the last six months about l,SOO,
embarked In business.
As compared with the preceding
year, Delaware had four less failures,
sc, 623 more liabilities and $40, 1870 less
assets; Maryland had eight more
failures $65, 1873 less liabilities, and
1877 ,047 less assets.
The largest failure in Maryland
was one in which the liabilities were
$50, 900. Generally the failures were
small.
Virginia easily gets the banner for
fine business conditions, for 1t shows
a large falling off in failures. The
success OF the Virginia counties is
traced to their potato crop, from
which high prices were received,
owing to the scarcity OF potatoes
elsewhere. They are also developing
the oyster industry.

and gratitude to the kind friends of

Churches. On Monday night before
Christmas, Broadway friends came

pressions of their kindness, and many
good wishes for happy Christmas.
Previous to that time the Sunday
School, had sent me nice, great big
turkey, intending that should have
sumptuous dinner. Last Wednes-
day, the Harborton friends pounded
me so heavily, had to have help to
get home, but 1t was good kind OF
pounding and done through love and
appreciation. Another nice big tur-
key, to adorn our table, was among
the very many, many, good things
which brought away with nae.
God bless the kind friends OF Broad
way and Harborton Baptist Churches
is the prayer of their pastor.

no disposition to become epidemic.
Typhoid fever is reported in two or

has proven very obstinate to treat.

La grippe has made its appearance,

fatal in few instances, but has not
prevailed to the extent of previous
years.
