"The Serenaders, whose especial
duty it is to look after all newly we'd
ded people and see that they don't get
lonesome, called on George W. Nor
rison and bride last night, who re-
ceived them with open arms, that is,
Mr.. Morrison did. He also furnished
cigars to the multitude to show how
dee lighted he was at their attentions
Harry Denman, I'd, also came in for
his share, and responded with the
panatellas. Mr.. and Mrs. Alexis
CLARK, it is said, might as we'll be
prepared with coffee and doughnuts,
cigars, etc., for this wide-awake
crowd
In regard OF the item in this col
umn last week, in which the people
Of South Wilmington 1ndiscriminately
are roasted for stealing arbutus on the
land of Frank Joslin, it is perhaps
unnecessary for us to say that we do
not know who the author was or by
what freak of fate it came to be
among our items, but we wish to say
just this: If Frank Joslin, or any
other party, feels aggrieved by the
action of any South Wilmington peo-
pie, I'VE hope they will take some 9TH
er means Of airing their grievance
than publishing it among our items
with no signature, as we neither want
the credit or blame for other people Is
writing. (The heading "Communi-
Gated" by mistake, was left off the
arbutus item. Ed.
