beaten by Mr.. Crow at his own game.

the busiest places IN lower Delaware.
He employed as many as forty me-
chanics at time, and every day long
line OF wagons could be seen waiting
for the place to turn out the work re-
quired. For years most Of the plows Of

He had to contend with two other
fires that temporarily embarrassed him,

usual? of course not.
But the clothes must go, we'll
try to "take our medicine" with

customers will get the profits now.

WHILE a little steam occaisionlly
escapes from under the lid Of the
political pot, there is little outside
Of conjecture to create a situation
ofinterest. It may be set down as
a fact, that knives are being whet-
ted for personal troubles, but as an
underlying principle there is no sign
Of trouble for the Republican party.
Rumor has it that Sussex county is
to see a great ruction at the next
term of court, ex-Collector Of the
Port Robert G. Houston will present
what evidence he has been able to
collect to the court against eX-Sec-
retary Of State c. R. Layton, who
will be charged with illegal use Of
money at the last primary elections.

been able to ascertain but, because
of the lack of cordiality between
them, the rumor is eagerly passed

THE next Governor of Delaware
will come from Sussex county, and
there are many favorite sons anxi-
Gus to serve the people. The First
Senatorial District is represented
by Thomas Curry, Simeon S. PEN
newill, Harry P. Cannon, Philip l..
Cannon and others. The town of
Laurel has Curtis E. Davis and
others, while Baltimore hundred has
several lightning rods sticking up
that of John G. Townsend reaching
highest. Lewes has Charles H.
Maull and Congressman Burton,
and Georgetown presents the name
of the most aggressive campaigner
Of the lot, in Caleb R. Layton.
Keep your eye on DR.. Layton.
The organization is accredited with
being favorable to Senator Penne-
will for Governor, but his campaign
will clash with the hopes Of Thomas
Curry, and some adjustments will
have to be made before a clean
field can be had.
