WOllltll anu Sll4S VIC may iOOh lOi
lots of new bonnets and new
gowns for fall and winter decora-

The Democrats of Clayton and
vicinity met in Wrights Hall
Thursday night and organized a
Reynolds and Causey club. Colin
Ferguson was elected president
J. d. Coverdale secretary, d. Rees,
William Leinberger, G. A. Brown,
T. w. Downing and William R.
Davis, vice presidents. The club
will meet on Monday nights. It
expects to have a number of
speakers at each meeting.
Harry Lindsey, well known
from being here several times be-
fore, struck it rich in coming here
in the canning season. In Across
the Continent" on Monday night
he and his troupe were greeted
with a full house-from the pea
nut gallery down to the parquet
circle. Little Lord Fauntleroy"
was given the second night, and
the Opera House was again the
centre of attraction for the lovers
of the drama.
Mrs. w. E. Hall, on upper Main
street doubtless leads the other
ladies in a vigorous calladium
plant. Its leaves are simply en-
mense, measuring four feet the
long way and 33 inches across.
Another feature in which it differs
from a large number of its species
is that in summer it threw out a
blossom-yellow. Mrs. Hall has
besides fine collection of flowers
and grasses, in which roses and
dahlias predominant.
Isaac Swiggett, who stole
watch last spring, from Solomon
Sparks, at Clayton and who skip
ped to Chester after F. E. Postles
and Thomas Lumm had gone his
security in the sum of $3.50 for his
at court, returned to
Smyrna on Sunday was discovered
and arrested by constable Weldon |
The securities would have had to
pay the bail bond at the next term
Of court, but for his fortunate re-
turn in time to be caught.
The pressure of the excessive |
crop of tomatoes referred to in our
last issue had a break after the |
middle of the week. Friday, from |
the fact that none would be re-
ceived on Saturday at the factories
was expected to be a very heavy
day again as on the preceding Fri |
days, but it was about the lightest |
day in the week. At both factories
everything was cleaned up before
noon, giving the little army of |
peelers a holiday not expected !
and yesterday, however,
they came in large quantities
again and all the workers are
busy.
The following was the despatch
sent from Clayton Thursday: The
greatest base ball game was play /
ed here Thursday afternoon be-
tween the Clayton and the River
ton Clubs, before large crowd of
spectators. The Sudlersville, Md.
team was to have played the home
club, but the Riverton, N. j. Club .

ever, and for eight innings neither

son was the home clubs battery. 4
while Heard and Croft worked for .
the visitors. The score: Riverton 2
Clayton 0.
John p. Hudson and Charles E.
Moore, residing in this town but
in a general lumber and
business at Clayton,
sold out their business last week
to Alfred L. Hudson, Jr., for the
past two or three years residing
on his fathers farm near by. Mr.
Hudson has been at Roanoke, Va.
for the past two months engaged
in buying lots, building houses, etc.
and now, Mr. Moore, his partner
goes to join him, having left for
that place Saturday. Both their
families will leave shortly for Ro-
anoke. We regret that these men
have felt it important for person
al interests to make these changes.
