Delaware State
Map Now Ready

The Rand-McNally Co., the fore
most map publishing house in the
world, has just issued a new State
map of Delaware, on which they
have been working for the past two
years. This is the first authentic
map of Delaware published in %
years and has been pronounced by
those who have seen it as being as
near perfect as it is possible for a
map to be.
Every Evening Of Wilmington
has secured from the Rand-McNal-
ly Co. the exclusive rights for the
distribution Of this map in wall
form in Delaware and it is the pur-
pose of Every Evening to sell the
map at a nominal price, which
should place it in the hands of
every person in the State. Ordi-
narily State map, the size of this
one would sell at price of 81 or
$3.50. The Rand-McNally Co. have
sold to a limited number of sub
scribers an atlas of the world with
the folded map Of the State and Of
the city of Wilmington on advance
orders for 1896. Every Evening
proposes to sell the map of Della
ware in wall form, printed on
heavy map paper, tin-mounted top
and bottom, for Is cents at the Of
flee Of the newspaper, or S5 cents
by mail, postpaid.
This new Delaware State map is
ed and competent authorities as the
aptly termed by many well inform
only reliable map of Delaware in
existence. 1t embodies many eX-
elusive features, for example:
Proper definition of the boundar-
les of all hundreds.
Exact outline in color of all rep
resentative districts, as verified by
the three county road engineers.
Location of every town and vii
lage in the State.
Plotting of all lover 1000 miles,
public highways in the State, and
shows distinctly all the improved
(stone, gravel, etc), roads which
now exist and are in the course of
construction.
Main travelled routes over the
best and shortest highways between
all important points throughout the
State.
Complete data showing the canal
systems, including the Lewes and
Rehoboth Canal, which is now in
course of construction and which
when finished, will form a part Of
the new inland waterways of the
Atlantic Coast.
All electric lines and steam rail
roads.

A Wilmington paper has it that
Editor Bill lost his hat. That's un-

1 see by the Wilmington press
that the Court House officials have
offered their services to their coun-

So,-well, we hope the war will
not last that long but it would
clear up the political situation this
fall-if some of these men were at
the front serving their country.
