The Coroner's jury in the case OF little
Horace Marvin, after being in session all
day Saturday and Monday, returned a
verdict that the child died OF exposure.
The fact of the body being SO well pre-
served after being in the water SO long was
accounted for by the testimony OF a
| cloth expert that the heavy clothing
worn by the child would have acted as
an anchor and that the only wonder was
that the body ever did rise to the surface.

The May term of New Castle County

sage of the law fixing hearing of divorce
cases heretofore entered before Superior
Court in open session. There are nine
damage suits against Wilmington; II

The wide awake country merchant is
rapidly coming to the conclusion that
the best way to meet competition of the
city merchant, the department store and
mail.order houses is to fight them with
their own weapons. The day when a
man can put in stock Of goods and sit
down and wait for business is past. He
has to hustle for it, and advertise his goods
in order that the people may know that
he has what they want. A merchant
who knows how to advertise never
complains of dull times. When
things quiet down, he advertises little
more, and in this way keeps things NOV
ing all the time.
