The Gossip Club is still on the job
The business of the club is a bit
burdensome, and very often business
is laid on the boxes or nail kegs I'M
til the next meeting. The store pro-
prietor is very fortunate in having a
very large stove, especially so when
the users of chewing tobacco get
busy. Mule, Apple and other brands
that tend to dampen the fire. The
discussion of eggs, starts with the
hen and ends at the table of the
millionaire. AS this year promises
a lot of political ammunition for the
members, no doubt many heated ar
euments will take place around the
stove. The dues are coming in rather
slow, but as one member is ship
ming a calf, the check from this
source may be the means of putting
said member back in good standing.
A dairyman, near Dagsboro, recent
" came to our village, inquiring
about membership in the club. If he
would get in touch with Mayor DAY.
is he will have very little trouble in
having his name approved by the
club. Visitors night may happen
some time during the month OF
March, if the president can be per-
suaded that it would add more gos-
sip to the club. Due notice will be
given.

During the past week a support
ing member of the st. Georges M. E.
Church expressed a willingness to
see the church take a progressive
step in the direction of an indepen-
dent church, having a preacher and
parsonage near the church, thus not
having to spend money for the sup
port Of a parsonage in another town
which has been a problem and cause
of MISUNDERSTANDING. Two previous
partnerships were not quite as sue
cessful. as they might have been. A
ouestfon well worth considering and
rnndn1.iro nrnr in our minds.
