der the auspices of the LeWes F!r9

success, not only in a financial way

home town who haven't been mere
before in years. In fact, IN some
cases it was known that people came
here who moved away ten anu
twelve years ago and had never VS.
tied Lewes since they left, not pc
cause they didn't have the love Ior
the old home town, but for one rea-
son or another they hadn't been aDIe
to make the visit before, ana sone
had to almost Introduce themselves
for the reason that they had peen
awav so long that they were hardly
known at first sight. Every nlsnI
auring the week the Lewes band'
augmented by a few out OF town
Dlayers. assembled on Second street

ng on the cement road which was g
swept and made good dance door.

verybody feel that old Lewes was
ealIy the grandest place in the F
7orld to live, of course many Of us Il
lready thought it. q
