The Store That Saves You Money"
L-ippincott &|Co
Toy Town is Ready

This simple phrase means
much to you and to us. To
, US it signifies an exhaustive
search of the markets of the
world and completion of
plans that have. been form
ing for a year. To you it
means the opportunity of
choosing from the most
wonderful collection of Toys
ever brought to Wilmington.
The Doll Houses of Toy
town are beautiful, with
furniture to match. Of
course the dolls have all the
household utensils they
need. There are stores in
"Toytown," too, and meat
markets, liverystables, etc.
In fact almost everything
is complete in "Toytown."
There is one thing about
"Toytown" that is remark
able. The animals vary so
much in size, ranging from
a couple of inches high to
those fully three feet tall,
and many of the horses are
covered with the same kind
of skin and hair as those
that go up and down the
streets in Wilmington.
In stating that we have
the most wonderful collec-
ton of Toys ever brought
to Wilmington, we are not
indulging in an idle boast,
for we know whereof we
speak. This statement is
made only after careful
study of conditions, and
after visiting ''Toytown"
you'll agree with us.

The Northern Methodists.

For the Yorkville Enquirer:
The Quadrennial General Conference
of the Methodist Episcopal church IS
now in session at Los Angeles, Cal.
It met on the 4th instant. 1t Is very
large delegated body, consisting OF Tag
delegates-clerical and lay In equal
numbers. Among the delegates are 70
women7ladies taking their seats as
members now for the first time. There
are 79 colored delegates and AZ deie-
gates from the various foreign mission
fields. The present membership OF the
church here represented Is 3,O3l,644.
The board Of education reports an ad-
dition Of seven and half million dol
lars to the schools and colleges Of the
church as a result Of the goth Century
thank offering, the increase Of proper
ty and endowment, exclusive of debt
being from S29,000,000 to about $780,
SOC. 900. Of the 748 delegates only lOS
were ever members Of previous gen
eral conference. This Is the nrst
meeting of this great body on the Pa
cific coast and the second time 1t has
met beyond the Mississippi. 1t will be
in session till near the close or the
month. 1t is likely that six new Dlsn-
OBS will be elected for this country ana
at least 2 for the foreign fields. A
good deal Of work has been laid out,
but very little has been done yet. II
will be remembered that this is dif-
ferent body from the Methodist Epis-
copal Church South, which has mem
bership Of a million and half.

Mackey was solicitor. About fifteen
men had been arrested on trumped up
charges and they got me to defend
them. Mackey allowed all kinds OF in
competent testimony to come In and
the negro jury brought in verdict OF
guilty. That night Mackey sent me
word that if 1 would make a motion
for a new trial he would grant 1t on
condition the defendants pay sl5 COSTS
each. The costs in that event would
go to the solicitor. I declined to have
ANYTHING to do with the matter; but
next day Judge Mackey announced
that he would grant new trial on ms
own motion with the understanding
about the costs that has just been sug-
gested. Arthur Mackey pocketed the
money and some Of the boys bantered
him for a poker game. They played
all night and Mackey got all their
money. Next night the boys got

NOT SUCH A FUNNY TRICK.
Drummer's Joke on Waiter Turned
Out a Costly One On
Himself.

"I suppose there comes to every man
desire to do something smart on an oc-
casion," said the drummer, as a sigh took
the place of his smile, according to the
New York Times.
well, such desire came to me as l
was leaving O certain southern city after
a weeks stay. The waiter at my table
had called me 'GineraP and been at great
pams to care for me and | made up my
mind to reward him with S. bill. 1t was
a counterfeit with which had been stuck,
but l thought it would be the biggest kind
of a. Joke to work off on Bob.
II had got hundred miles away when
| was arrested on a telegram for passing
counterfeit money, and when taken back
| was arraigned in a United States court
and had to give bail and appear on three
different occasions. | had a lawyer and
other expenses, lost a good three weeks
altogether and just escaped prison by the
skin of my teeth. In addition to this
had to make good to the waiter, who sor..
rowfully shook his head when he received
the money and said:
"Pze sorry for you, Gineral, but dis may
be de means of savin' your contemplate
soul from the Rallus!"

Don't drive too fast.
Don't walk; get on the drag and ride.
Don't wait for your neighbors to take
hold; they may be waiting for you.
Don't bother about tongue; it is
much trouble and expense and is Oh lt-

Don't wait for the big grader to come
and shape up your road. All you can
do first will help to make the work OF
the grader permanent.
Don't be particular about material.
With an AK and two-inch anger almost
any kind of log can be made into a
drag The one l used for several years
is a box elder.
Don't try to drag with ore piece; use
two. One will scoop out the holloWs in
the road and deepen them. When two
are used the one keeps the other up;
and in month or so the hollows will
have filled and become level and hard
like the balance the road -~--
