Special Correspondence to the Times.
CHEswoLD, APRIL 11:-Farmers are
now very busy pushing their work
along, which has been greatly delayed
by wet weather. Our town commiss-
toner's leveiing our streets which where
shells or broken stone had not been
placed were in bad order. Samuel
Moore also has removed the uusightly
stable from his corner lot in a promi-
nent part of our town.
Cheswold has for two months or
more been without Doctor and in this
time our people have wondered why
this should be done. If we are deserv-
ing a bad name our people wonder in
what way. In the past Cheswold has
been considered an excellent point for
a good practicing physician and we see
no reason for any deterioration. We
are now however informed there will
be Doctor located here at least by the
first of May.
The ladies aid of Cheswold Church
will hold what they call a novelty
social" IN Jr. o. U. A. NJ. Hall Thur
sday evening of this week, just what
this is we are not advised but it will be
free of any admission at the same time
a good round pocket book might be a
necessary credential toward full en-
jOyment of all the ceremonies.
The death of dog usually passes as
only the death of dog. But the trsgic
death of Jack" a pet terrier whose
home was at the Parsonage which &C.
cured last Saturday was marked by
sorrow that was most unusual. Inafew
minutes seemingly everyone in town
knew of the sad fate of Jack, sorrow
gave vent to tears not only at his home |
but by neighbors also while honoring
him with burial suitably laid away |
in a box. Jack was we'll trained held a
high place in the dog family, went
where he pleased, was Away we'll re-
ceived and cared for. One feature of his
was singing in his way ''Nearer nv
God to thee" which he was often called

whine varying in pitch. He noticed

Pastor Goodhand had a very large
congregation at Cheswold Sunday
