Work Of Grading Railroad Completed and
Italian Laborers Move Away-Local
Happenings and Personal Mention.

CHEswoLD, Nov. 17:-The grading
for the second railroad track is about
completed in this section. The ItaI-
ians who have quartered at Cheswold
during this work moved yesterday by
Steamer Brady for another point, with
horses, carts and other implements.
A new passenger platform for the
west side of the new track was built
last week and the freight platform is
now completed on the east side, with
driveways leading to it. To former
residents of Cheswold these changes
would at once be noticeable.
A large number of people were in
town Saturday evening and our stores
did lively business to all appearances.
1t seemed much like the beginning of
the holiday trade.

preparation for church work. Our W.
