CHEswoLD, April 2:-Our Town
Election held last Saturday from two
to four o'clock p. M, was the poorest
attended ever held here. There are
some strange facts attending it. There
were only eight votes cast, five COM
missioners elected by these eight votes
from a list of eighteen candidates.
Mr.. J. H. Bishop is completing an

Mr.. Paul Porter near Cheswold was
surprised last Thursday evening by
many friends in this locality rushing
in on him at his home. Coming home
however, party of ten ladies and gem
tlemen from Cheswold, met the greater
surprise when they were all dumped
in a mud hole. The night was very
dark and its only wonder, as is stated
that when the company went out with
a splash as the wagon careened, there
were no broken limbs. Caught in the
odd predicament in which they were,
they resolved not to let it be known,
but to-day the veil of secrecy is being
removed and many are the hearty
laughs in consequence.
