at BetneI "A. M. T.. SuulCH, HhoH-
day.
Ground was broken few days
ago for the Episcopal Chapel at
Clayton under the management of
Rev. G. w. Dame of this town.
Some 1900 have been subscribed
for the enterprise. 1t is designed
to have it enclosed before cold
weather.
A special meeting of the Wo-
mans Christian Temperance Union
will be held at the home of Mrs.
Abel Riggs next Monday evening
at 7.3O o'clock. A full attendance
is desired as there is to be an cleo
ton of officers, and delegates to
State Convention.
Miss Minnie Clement took seven
first and three second premiums at
the Wilmington Fair, as follows:
First, dogs head Tin oil), crayon,
pain ting on ground glass, chamois
table cover, embroidered sofa pill
low, pair of towels Tin outline) /,
handkerchief holder.
Mrs. Mary A. KINNEY showed
us yesterday specimen of her Gu
cumber crop-a branch of a vine
with seven on it, the largest a
very perfect double one. The vine
runs over a pear tree from which
she thinks she has gathered a
bushel of cucumbers.
The final contest for the master
ship between the Clayton and Sud-
lersville baseball teams will come
off tomorrow at Clayton. 1t is
claimed that Sudlersville got the
last game here through the UNI
pire. Middletown was beaten on
Friday by the Wilmington team on
a score of 10 to o.
The question has been frequently
asked within the past ten days if
this wasn't the Equinoctial Storm.
1t could be safely answered yes,
two or three of them rolled into
one, when we take into considera-
ton the amount of rain air satur-
ated with steaming moisture and
general nastiness." But meteor
ologists laugh at the idea of a
storm following the passage of
the sun over an imaginary line.
Miss Emily Spruance has set
apart at her home a new feature
for our town in developing child
thought Kindergarten. It is in
tended for the little ones from
three to six years of age (before the
public school period) who are in
terested in object lessons very
much as if they were at play, while
each new design or object is an ad-
vancement in thought and train
ing. Miss Spruance has the prop
er paraphernalia including spheres,
cubes straws and many other ar
ticles used in teaching numbers,
outlining, ETC. We call attention
of mothers to this school, believing
they will find in it very material
help Gas well a relief in early de-
veloping the faculties of their chill
dren.
The interest of the Messrs. Tyg-
ert having ceased in property in
this town and vicinity it became
necessary for reorganization of
the company, which was done on
the 10Th inst. by electing John H.
Hoffecker, President, instead of ].
E. Tygert, and he and George II.
Raymond directors in the places Of
J. w. and H. S. Tygert. It is the
intention to localize the holdings of
stock and make the steamboat
company home matter. To this
end it is desired that all, who have
the continuation of a good means
of communication by water from
this town to Philadelphia should
cooperate and use their influence
to patronize the company and thus
add to its business. That the P.
& S. T. Co., has been a great bene-
/ fit to our town no one viii deny
and it is hoped that now it is con-
/ trolled at home that all who have
any desire to see it made a per-
NANCY will unite and use their eff
forts in that direction.
