Wilmington is just as good place to
spend the summer months as many of
the seashore resorts, is the opinion of
Judge Ignatius c. Grubb. Judge Grubb
is an advocate of outdoor sports and is
often seen on the golf links at the VIII

Country Club during the summer

Magistrate William Terry, of New
Castle, is fast becoming a terror to
evil doers in that city, especially to the
colored law breakers who appear before
him for the administration of justice.
In giving his decisions the magistrate
! is not pompous nor overbearing, nor
does he convey to the ctsprit that he
is treating him harshly. His strong
card is the peace bond" by which,
while not sending them to Jail directly,
is generally the means of causing the
culprit to locate his feet under Warden
Meserve's table at the county work
house, one which is provided by him
for the comfort and maintenance of
such guests, for a greater or less per-
iod Of time. Magistrate Terry's method
of punishment have proved effective,
especially at this season of the year,
when the colored gentry prefer their
freedom with a watermelon thrown in
occasionally, to seven cent per day

that he had authorized their for public wharf

THE two double piers which completed are
500 feet long and 40 feet wide Pier o. 0he half

Mr. Featherson said that the Supreme Court
would soon be asked for a commission TO condemn

is proposed to extend the piers now occupied by
the Ward and Munson lines $50 feet further into
the river making them $50 feet long. This improve
