OUR TOWN FATHERS

AT the Town Election on Monday our
people we're convinced that the retiring
board had given US an economical admin
istration, and as result two OF the old
board were reelected and the other Com
missioner declined to accept third term.
During the past year two Of the bonds
have been paid off, and the financial
statement issued by the Board is very
complimentary to the Commissioners.
Al Mondays election there was quite
a contest over the election OF an Assessor,
and Jonathan w. Letnerberry defeated
Joseph A. suydam by small majority.
In all 104 votes were polled, and it is
indeed gratifying to notice the growing
interest in our local elections.
The new Commissioners are N. ]. Will
liams, w. J. Wilson and w. T. Conneliee.
The new board met and reorganized on
Monday evening by selecting George v.
Peyerley, the former President, as Presi-
dent of the new board, and Col. Joseph
Hanson as Secretary, he taking the place
of Mr.. Davis The board now consists Of
the following gentlemen George V. Pew
erley, President; Col. Joseph Hanson,
Secretary; Nathaniel J. Williams, w. j.
Wilson and w. 7. Connellee.

TO BE NAMED DELAWARE

1t has been settled that the first of tile
10000 ton Slips to be built by the United
States Government shall be call the Della
ware.
No ship in the modern navy has yet
been called after the little Diamond
State, " although she was one Of the orig
inal thirteen States and held her own in
the Revolution beside her larger sisters.
Delawareans are delighted that one of
the new ships is to be named alter their
State. Six months ago when the con-
strnction of monster new ships was con-
sidered by the naval committee Of Con-
gress, Senator Alice and Congressman
Burton urged that one Of them be named
Delaware. To their influence that of
Senator DUPONT has since been added,
and the naval committee has considered
the wishes Of the Delaware congressional
delegation in the matter.
II is expected that the keel of the mon
ster new ship will be laid in the fall and
that she will go into commission late in
1908.

Dear Sir: II you could get the exclu-
sive sale Of a coal that would give double
heat and cost mo more, you'd jump at it,
wouldn't you?
You'd control the trade for hundred
miles.
Devoe is like that among paints;a short
ton is as good as along one of any paint
you can name; gallon is worth more
than two Of many popular paint.
Suppose you have painted your house
about once in three years ever since ii
was new; you buy the same number Of
gallons Devoe, have third of ii left, and
it wears six years. Count your costs.
S1.76 gallon for paint; $3.50 gallon
for putting il on, you saved gallons:
$26.25 on this job. But you save the
whole job Of three years hence: about SIS.
Put EN- together: 800
Can't reckon 50 accurately as that; bot
