1t is with sincere regret that the
many friends of DR.. F. w. Kirk
ham learn that he has decided to
leave Brownsville very shortly. go
ing to Cuero, Texas, where he ex-
poets to locate permanently. A
very advantageous offer, including
the charge of the Salome hospital
at that place, has been received by
the doctor, and he has concluded to
accept it. During his stay in
Brownsville for two or three years
past DR.. Kirkham has made many
warm friends amongst our people,
who will be very sorry topart with
him.
Fate and nature seem to have
entered a strange conspiracy to
thwart the efforts of the heroic
founders of the new town of Har-
lingin who have decreed that water
alone shall be the legitimate and
authorized beverage of its thirsty
populace. After fruitless drilling
for over a month, during which
time all the obstacles of a well
driller's life were encountered,
work has been abandoned on the
artesian we'll at the waterless depth
of ESQ feet. The machinery was
moved yesterday a short distance
south to a new location where the
work will be resumed. 1t is yet to
be seen whether the water wagon
or the beer wagon will have as
tendency on the streets of Har-
lingin.

JE CARTER IN A NICE FARM DEAL.
Buys the ''Brick Barn" Farm of Cummins
Heirs for $500 and Sells 1t for $4,000.

Buys the ''Brick Barn" Farm of Cummins
Heirs for $500 and Sells 1t for $4,000.
Joseph E. Carter, the well-known
fruit grower, made a nice little invest
ment recently when he purchased the
Logue or "Brick Barn" Farm from the
heirs of David J. Cummins for a con-
sideration of $500. The farm is stu
ated at the "Big Oak" on the State
road and contains about 148 acres. The
dwelling is nothing but an ordinary
tenement house, but the barn is one
of the largest in this vicinity and is
built entirety of brick after the style
of the double decker Pennsylvania
barns with commodious stable in the
basement. Mr.. Carter had intended
building a new residence on the farm
and improving the place generally, bul
the opportunity came to pick up a
thousand dollars and he let it go. The
deal was cOnsummated by Henry d.
Boyer, the real estate broker, who
sold it to Mr.. James I. Truax for
$4,000. The latter in turn sold his
fine farm of 75 acres situated near Sew
erson's Church to Mr.. George W. Mat
tiford of the Edw. G. Walls farm
(Rothwell farm, for $500. The deal
was closed and the deeds were passed
at Dover on Saturday. The change of
residence win lake placs the first of
March. Mr.. Mattiford will be sue
ceeded on the Walls farm by Mr..
Horace VanDyke of near Townsend.

chased large tract of timber land. in

together with large tract of timber.
guaranteed to contain not less than
80, 100000 feet. BY actual survey and
measurement it turned out that
there were only 81 million feet in the
tract. Messrs. Westcott and Tren-
chard brought suit for fraud and de-
celt. The price paid for the property
was 100000; $4,000 in cash and
two notes of $4,000 each for the
remainder. The complalnants asked
that the two outstanding notes be
abated and credited with the difference
between 80 million feet of timber and
81 million. KelI filed cross bill ask
ing for affirmative relief from fore
closure of the deed of trust which Sc
cured the two notes. The case was
tried before Judge Purnell of the U.
). District Court of Eastern II. c., at
Raleigh, who rendered a decision in
favor of Messrs. Westcott and Tren-
chard for $780, 200. The court found
that Kell falsely represented the
amount of timber and that the COM
plainants are entitled to the difference,
and the notes are to be credited with
that amount, together with 800
paid for certain option which was q
cloud on the title to the property al
the date of purchase. All the property
is put into the hands of L. W. Mason,
of Jackson, as receiver. Messrs.
Westcott and Trenchard have built uE
lucrative business in the lumber
trade of North Carolina, and theil
many friends on the Delaware Mary
land will be glad to learn of their sue
cess in their undertakings.

tooned from the electric lights to the
four corners OF the room were stream
ers of hearts and red paper that made

On entering the door the men were

was served with a ''red heart cake,
all of which was so dainty as to cause
pleasurable surprise. Small cakes and
coffee were also served. The club re-

ReApINO A GOOD THING At GREENWOOD.

Harvey Jones, the WeIl.knOwn Painter a1d
Paper hSnger a Busy Man These Days.
Harvey Jones, who succeeded J. E.
Carter in the painting and paper hang
ing business, is a busy man these
days and the prospect is that it will be
way in the spring before the rush will
be over. Shortly after the explosion
that shattered the whole town of
Greenwood in Sussex county, Mr..
Jones was active enough 'to pull a
wire" that brought him good luck. He
was given the contract by the Penn
sylvanla Railroad Company to do all
the papering and painting needed in
the town and to take entire charge and
supervision of the work to be done.
It came to him in dull season and he
was enabled to take his entire force of
Smyrna men together with others,
and give them weeks of steady en-
plovment. He has been busy since
the affair and has yet a month or
more work, which will total between
$4,000 and $4,000. Mr.. Jones is a.hustler
and one of Smyrna's rising young
business men and is gaining a good
reputation for artistic work. His
place of business at the "Four Cor
ners" has recently been renovated and
improved and made into an attractive
r,loaa
