to Creamery-LOcals and Personals
Townsend, Jan. 6.-Extensive i'm
provements are being made to the
plant of the creamery at this place.
A force of carpenters are now engag-

addition of a second story to the

have requested Representative George

to propose legislation to compel the

of the P. B. and w. Railroad in Della
ware.
