some legislation that would in &

Get busy men, and try to do some

Moving Pictures
The entertainment given i'm the
J school auditorium on last Wednes-
day evening needs more than a pass
ing notice. The Great Council OF
Delaware Jr. o. U. A. NJ, through
its highest officers produced a NOV
ing picture show, which was a
splendid rendition of the two orphan
homes, located at Tiffon, Ohio, and
Lexington, N. c. These splendid in
stitutions are owned and controlled
by members of the order.
The pictures shown were a true
picture of the orphans of deceased
members, from the time they enter
one of the homes, until they are IS
years of age, when with the train
ing they have received they are able
to go out into the world competent
to make a splendid living. This is
fine, and goes to show the care that
the living members of the order care
for the children of deceased men,
bers.
Glendale Council, No. 80, Jr. o. U.
A. NJ. is situated here, and should
have the support of the people of
the town and vicinity.
Trains To Continue
Our people were very much exer-
cised last week when informed that
the Delaware, Maryland and Virgin
ia Railroad would cease to run but
two passenger trains daily-one
north and one south.
Several committees waited upon
the railroad authorities, who finally
agreed to let the trains run as usual.
We know the railroads are losing
money by so doing, and the thanks
of the people are due the railroad
company for letting the trains run.
Fish Market
Our market is very well supplied
with fish of different kinds. Herring,
perch trout are offered daily in our
markets at a reasonable price. The
first of May the big seines will COM
mence to haul at Slaughter Beach;
then there will be fish for everybody |
at lower prices.
Coal
H. w. Jester has another car of |
coal ON the side track here, which he |
will furnish to his customers. The
cold March winds will make a de-
mand for this commodity.
