/ change was S65, 900 and in less
than a year its marked value falls
to $4,000. Another such proper
tionate decline will bring it within
the reach of some one who can af-
ford to run it. This is the finest
hotel on the Peninsula but it is
very evident that the breeches are
entirely too big for the child.
1 DEATH OF MRS. JAMES Nc
4 DOWELL- The death of Mrs.
Amelia Denning, wife of James
Mcdowell, completely obliterates a
once large and prominent family.
She was the last of family of 8
was the last of a family of eight
children living to reach their ma
jority all of whom save one, died
of consumption. She attained a
greater age than any of her broth
] ers or sisters, being at her death in
her 37th year. She was the daugh-
ter of John M. Denning, at one
time a large carriage builder here
and a man of prominence in the
community. Her husband and four
children, the youngest babe, sur
vive her. The funeral services
were held on Monday morning last,
interment in Glenwood cemetery.
I DANIEL THOMPSON DEAD -
Daniel Thompson, after long
months of suffering, died at his
residence at Clayton on Saturday
morning last in the seth year of
his age. Mr.. Thompson formerly
lived at or near Milford, moving up
here about thirty-eight years ago
as tenant at Glenfern, now the
residence of w. Polk Cummins,
where he remained a number of
years, thence he went to the Mich
ael Offley farm, now the residence
of Joseph Goldsborough. He was
a man of great physical strength,
industrious and hard working. He
was a good farmer and lived as a
tenant on several of the best farms
in this community. The strong at
tachments of the man are shown
in the fact of ris having declined
20 take a fine farm in Maryland
knowing t tc be better than any
charce he had here, in order that
he might be able to vote for his
friend William Temple then can
date for Governor. Mr. Tbomp-
son has resided for many years ct
Clayton being indeed one of Il
pioneers of that place. His re
mains were inferred yesterday
morning in the M. P. Cemetery at
Clayton.
DEATH OF LITTLE NELLIE
HUSTED-Little Nellie Hustled the
sweet and pretty little girl, who so
cutely played the role of zeresh's
child in the Oratorio of Queen Es-
ther, winning for herself the ad-
miration of the large audiences
who nightly crowded to enjoy this
entertainment, died in a convulsion
on Saturday evening last after en-
during for about ten days the most
intense suffering from malarial
neuralgia. Seldom does the affec-
ton of a community go out to one
so young as little Nellie, only
about six years old. She was un-
usually intelligent and modest,
quite pretty and attractive though
rather delicate. Her remains, as
+ she laid in her coffin, were viewed
by many of the children with
whom she attended school who
went to take a last look, seeming
not to realize she was dead and as
a schoolmate lost to them forever.
Her features seemed to remain
perfect though her general appear
ance was that of a beautifully
moulded wax figure. She was in
tered yesterday in the Catholic
/ cemetery, near Warwick, Md. The
warm sympathies of the entire
community 60 out to her mother
and little brother John, in their
grief.
ODD FELLOWS CEMETERY
Marked changes are constantly
taking place in the scenes that
make up our landscape. That on
the left as you pass over the Smyr-
ma Mill Pond is the most conspic-
uous occurring recently. That
which heretofore has been alter
nately a field of corn, wheat and
grass has been laid out into what
will soon become a beautiful cem-
etery. The forecast displayed by
Morning Star Lodge and McDon1
aid Encampment, in buying this lot
is most praiseworthy. There is no
site so eligible and well adapted to
the purpose in the community as
this, lying, as it does, on one of the
principal thoroughfares leading
into the town, and just outside its
limits and in a direction towards
which it will never grow. Stretch
ed out in front of this City of the
Silent will be that beautiful sheet
