The new property on East Cochran
street of the late H. c. DeValinger,
which was purchased by the widow, is
now being completed by contractor ].
M. Foster. These houses will be cozy
homes, and we understand Mrs. De-
Valinger will occupy one of them in the
early spring.
The American people smoked nearly
two hundred million more cigarettes last
year than in 1908, and eight millions less
of cigars. The total consumption OF the
little rolls passed far over the four billion
mark in spite of the prohibitory laws
passed by legislative bodies and the agita-
ton of reformers.
Mr.. Joshua CLAYTON has sold his prop
erty on Green street where he now re-
sides, to Dr. E. G. Clark, of Millington,
Nd, who will take possession of his new
home about January 1st. Mr.. Clayton
will move to his farm near Chesapeake
City, where he has just completed a
handsome residence with all of the latest
Improvements.
An advertising expert notes that "a
century ago hardly dozen businesses or
trades used the newspapers as means OF
publicity. 1t was virtually an expert
ment with the patent medicine men, and
their successes led others to try it. Now
the public expects information as to what
to buy and where to buy it from the news
paper. 1t looks to them for this as it does
for news.
The indications are for a "White
Christmas. Winter has made his ap-
pearance, and having wrapped the earth
in mantle of snow, has set the pace of
Christmas shoppers to the merry tune of
sleigh bells. There was heavy snow
fall Monday, and snow balling, shedding
and sleighing have been the pleasant
diversions Of the week, and the Christmas
spirit is abroad.
A correspondent OF an exchange pre-
diets Is snow storms for the winter OF
1904 5. He bases his prediction OH the
maxim ''that there would be as many
snow storms during the winter as the
day of the month the first snow falls
upon." He states that he kept a strict
account last winter 1904 The first
snow, he states, though slight, fell on
October 26th and there were 26 snow
falls, including the light ones, by actual
count.
At the third quarterly conference OF
Bethesda NJ. E. Church, held some days
ago, there were some very complimentary
remarks made by the members OF the Of
fetal board in reference to the good work
of the pastor, and the Rev. 6. I. Wyatt
was unanimously invited to return for the
fourth year. Dr. Wyatts's many friends
will be delighted to learn of this decision
on the part Of the official board, and at
the close of conference which will con-
vene in Grace Church, Wilmington, in
March, we hope that the requests Of the
official board and the pastors friends may
be granted.
