TO CORRESPONDENTS.

For their encouragement we will say to
our obliging correspondents that we have
taken up the matter of belated letters
and tardy delivery of the CITIZEN with
some postmasters, and with the latter's
kind help We hope to get our communi.
cations in better time for the paper, and
to get the CITIZEN to the offices regularly.
Occasionally we fiud a good CORES
pendent that gives up his work in
despair, usually because someone criti.
cizes him for putting some item or some
name In the paper. To all such we would
say keep a stiff upper-lip"; newspaper
mans life is not a bed of roses, but you
will learn more about human nature In
twelve months active service in the
local field than by i've years as lawyer
or physician. You will be able to "size
up" mankind-a valuable trait-to per-
lection. The kicker is always manifest,
and the most common type is that fellow
who is not a subscriber yet wants his
little meanderings recorded weekly, and
when once you refuse, or happen 10
catch him in shady transaction and it
becomes public information, he condemns
you and your paper to everlasting dis
pleasure. This class, as we say, is com
mon, so common that If you stop to par
ley with them you would have time for
nothing else In life. So go ahead, friends,
and helpers, "boe your own row" or
thew to the line," get yourself ducks
covering Omperyiousl, and then You will
be happy-even IL not good" in the e.
timatioa Of the chronic grumbler.

SOME DEATHS.

Mrs. Thomas r. Hewett, of Middlssex
county, died a few days ago at the home
OF her son-in.law, Mr.. Frank Thomas, in
Chicago, where she was visiting. Mrs.
Hewett was a native OF Maine, but had
resided in Virginia for thirty years. She
was seventy four years OF age.
1t is with much sorrow we note the
death of our highly esteemed brother,
Mr.. George Norton, which occurred
Wednesday night, May 18th. He had
been sick for several weeks, but did not
seem dangerously i'll until a few days
previous to his death. His funeral was
preached Friday morning at the Wicom-
leo M. p. church by his pastor, after
which his remains were Inferred in the
cemetery of that church. Mr.. Norton
was formerly a resident of Michigan,
but moved to this state about eighteen
years ago. Shortly after his arrival here
he connected himself with the Wicomico
Nj. p. church, and since that time has
rendered it faithful and useful service.
At the time of his death he was one of
the official members, aud SuperInten-
dent of the Sunday school of his church.
Mr.. Norton was christian gentleman
OF the first type, and he proved plainly
by his walk in life that he was not living
for this world only, but for zone which
is not made by hands, eternal In the
Heavens" While Mr.. Norton has been
here he has made many true friends who
are sorely grieved, and to the family
extend sincerest sympathy in this their
dark hour. The deceased was about
sixty years of age and leaves widow
and six children-two daughters and
four sons-to mourn, but not as those
who mourn without hope. The temper
ance cause will suffer by his death, too,
because of his loyalty, zeal and stead
fastness in that like all other things he
believed to be right and just.
