WILLIAM McCLARY.
Mrs. S. E. Houston entertained on
Thursday last, her Sunday School class
together with a few other friends at a
''f1inch party" Refreshments served
were chicken salad, biscuit, coffe, olives,
fruits, candy and salted peanuts. Guests
dispersed at IL O'Clock after spending a
enjoyoble evening.
The new creamery opened its doors for
business on Wednesday morning, and
received about 1900 pounds of milk that
day. The management expect this guam
tity to be greatly increased during the
next few weeks, and feel confident that
the new enterprise will be a success.
The crermery is located on West Green
street, and has all of the most modern
machinery for the making of butter,
which should guarantee the highest mar
ket prices for its product.
The remains of Mrs. E. J. Clayton, nee
Ida L. Akin, sister Of Mr. Walter w. Akin,
proprietor of the National Hotel, this
town, and r. Delbert Akin, of Delaware
City, was brought to Middletown on We'd
nesday on the noon train for interment in
Bethel Cemetry. Mrs. Clayton died in
Philadelphia on Sunday morning last in
the 36th year Of her age She was born
in Sassafras Neck, Maryland, where she
had many friends. The funeral services
we're held in Bethel NJ. L. Church at 2
O'Clock Wednesday afternoon, the inter-
ment being in the cemetry adjoining the
church.
The fellow who bought turkey for
Thanksgiving had to 60 down deep for
the luxury. The prices started in at
IL cents per pound alive, but on Tues.
day it was Is cents, and % cents dressed
for the pan. The reason for this was,
that most growers held back, for the
holiday prices; and. as the Western tur-
keys are late this year, the city markets
jumped to high prices. Dressed ducks
sold at Is cents, and were taken eagerly
at those figures. The probabilities are,
that the holiday prices will not be as
high as they have been this week. This
situation is much like that of last year,
when the arrival of Western turkeys
broke the market.
The "Woman's Foreign Missionary
Society" OF Bethesda NJ. E. Church gave
Mrs. Alfred G. Cox delightful Surprise
party on Friday evening, November 18th,
it being her 10th birthday, and thirty
years as President of that Society. A
goodly number of guests were present.
Mrs. L. s. Moore, Vice President of the
Society in pleasing manner commended
the faithful service of the President in all
these years, and in behalf of the Society
presented her with several pieces of cut
glass to which she feelingly and appro-
priateiy responded, thanking them for
their thoughtful love and kindness in
thus remembering her, and asking their
continued hesrty cooperation in the
