from Smyrna. Del, few weeks ago.
and the commissioners of other counties
on the Eastern Shore have made trips
on the same mission The stone streets
and reads have reputation all over the
peninsula for being we'll built. 1t is
generally conceded that the people have

have spent ten and even as high as forty
thousand per mile with no better re-
suits, and with no more satisfaction on
the public The people are to be
congratulated and have right to re-
gard with pride the improvements made

ject. "Forsaking Sin Mr. Beck held
a meeting in the NJ r. Sunday School
room at 3 o clock Sunday afternoon for
boys only. He addressed them on the
subject of The Great Divide. In
the address he urged the Importance of
engaging in the Y. NJ c. A. work,
which reaches the boys and men, when
other influences might not be effective.
The great meeting OF the day was at
the NJ f. Church Sunday night, at
which George f. Tibbits spoke The
subject was the Battle of the Strong,
and was illustrated by splendid stere-
optican views. The illustrations largely
portrayed the great work being done
by the Y. NJ. c. A. throughout the
world in training the mind, body and
spirit The most striking illustration
was the evolution of the boy from the
waif to the accomplished young man.
The audience was a large one, and all
seemed to enjoy the meeting very much.
The general impression made by these
men was very good on the whole com
munity.
