A YOUNG FORGER
One day last week a lad went tt
the farm of Moses Price, just be
yond Brenford, occupied by Den.
ney Walker and handed him the
following telegram:
Smyrna, Dec. 14th, 1885
To Mr.. Walker, Brenford, Del.
Would you please call at the
hotel. I would like to see you on
important business.
| Yours truly,
/ Thomas Clayton,
Smyrna House
Collect 25 cents.
The manner of the boy was that
of a messenger who was in hurry
so he quickly left after getting the
twenty-five cents, which Mr.. Walk
er soon after learned that he had
paid for a forged telegram. Wheth-
er he thus collected money from
otters in this section we do not
know, but the same evening he col
lected a like sum of Joseph Whit
aker, near Dover, in the same wav
from a dispatch signed E. M. Stew
enson, asking Mr.. w. to meet him
at nine o'clock the next morning.
ABUNDANCE OF

If the people haven't enough in
quantity and variety in the way of

lovers of minstrelsy at the Town
Hall; Friday and Saturday nights
Miss Bessie DeCamp entertained
the ring visitors; Monday night

enjoyed from beginning to end, and
repeated it on Tuesday evening:

the Hall for addresses by Frank
Whelen and others and vocal and
instrumental music; tomorrow
night The Gilmore Russell and VIII
liams Company will have the hall,
while Friday, Christmas Day, Har-
