Grange which has left no steps un-
turned that might add to the enjoy
ment and pleasure of the patrons.
The dance will start at eight and
contintie uhtiI fthe grangers have to
leave to do their morning milking. A
good orchestra will be on hand and
some extra entertainers have been
secured to help out. Admission will
be fifty cents couple and light re-
freshments will be served. Because
you are unable to step, don't let that
deter you from coming, for the base
ment will be open to all who wish
to play cards or sit and talk. While
the main object is to raise funds, it
is the desire of the Grange to see
that all have good time. Just for

mission.
The letter, which was dated No
vember 3, read, in part, as follows:
Because of the number of our
citizens who l am given to under
stand are still dependent upon State
aid for the subsistence of themselves
and their families, l advise that
have extended the life of the COM
mission for a period of two months,
or until January J., 1884. At that
time, it is likely that it will again
be extended and the commission re-
ports that as nearly as can be esti-
mated they have in hand and expect
to receive through the source of
Federal aid enough money to meet
the relief demands through Febru-
ary. 1884.
"Since the Act above referred to
fixes the 30th day of April, 1884. as
the final day on which the Commits
sion under any conditions can func-
tion, and public relief ends, l would
respectfully ask that before this ses-

ed on January 3-the first day of

to reports, the President did not
plan to deliver the message in per-
son, but some of President Roose-
veits advisers are still uring him

Democrats are contending that the
country is more back of the Presi-
dent than a few months ago and
that they are prepared to follow him
in his recommendations Republi-
cans generally are saying little and
awaiting developments.
Speaker Rainey said he expected
the ordinary and extraordinary
budgets to call for appropriations in
excess of $6,OO0.00O,000 for the fis-
cal year 1884. This includes the bud
get estimates of $2,600,1 0,100,U00 for
ordinary expenses of the Govern
ment.
OF the balance, about S1.7GG,090,-
900 is to be asked for continuation of
the public works-employinent pro-
gram; about $5OO,OO0,0O0 for Teder-
eal relief; additional capital for the
reconstruction corporation for bus
mess stimulation, and varying sums
for the other government enter
prises.
First on the legislative calendar,
Rainey said would be bill for the
repeal of the Volsted Act as 1t ap-
plies to the District OF Columbia,
territories, and possessions. This is
10 be followed bv the liquor revenue
act to be introduced by Chairman
Doughton (D-NC) of the House
Ways and Means Committee sn the
first day. 1t will call for a 50 gall
lon levy on spirits, $5 barrel on
beer, retain present import duties
on wines, spirits and brew, all the
revenue from these sources, estimat-
ed at more than $500, 100000, to go
into the Federal Treasury.

With the approach of New Years
Day, most of us feel called upon to
make a few conscientious resolu-
tions. We decide to shake off our
careless habits and start the New
Year with a clean slate. The Della
ware Safety Council suggests the
following helpful hints which will
make ideal New Year resolutions for
the promotion of home safety. They
are unselfish, worth while and easy
to keep.
First, we should resolve that as
parents and home-makers it is our
responsibility to exert every pos
sible effort to promote safety con-
seriousness in our homes. Tripping
over playthings and other objects on
the floor, stairways and sidewalks,
rugs or furniture out of place are
responsible for a large number of
our home accidents. Therefore, we
should resolve to put things away
when we have finished using them,

I'VE had new man with US this
time, and I predict he Is going to be
one Of the greatest figures In America.
