LIGHT AFTER DARKNESS
The inn had sank oer the wesscrn hills
The birds had sought their neat
And the drooping leaves of the daffodils
Were lowly hent in reH
The azure blue of the cloudiest sky
was fading fur from sight
She distant light of the twinkling stars
shone far into the night
The dismal hot of the distant owl
Borne by the winds on high
Would pierce the depths of ones inmost sonl
Who chanced to hear her cry
And so to each such a night is born
At sometime in his life
But every night is replaced by morn
To vanish all its strife
The snow has gone off quite fast
during the warm days that followed
the storm and although two other
i light snows fell last week and covered
to Bassiitt tbe o found about 4 to 5 inches it has
now melted and leaves the ground in

It seems to be the general opinion in
Washington that the failure of the re
publican legislature of Deleware to
elect two senators will result in restor
ing that state to the democratic column
Speaking of the failure a well known
business man of Wilmington who was
in Washington this week said The
people of Deleware have become re
signed They have been for a consid
erable period of time with only one sen
ator in congress and I suppose they
can get along for a whiie without any
I think that Deleware has learned what
it has to expent from the republicans
and will be found in the democratic
column the next time it has an oppor
tunity
If ft B9MER
procure an order from him for supplies
they may need - We want to know if
County Clerk Daniels has this power
delegated to him and where did he get
his authority for running things
We question it and we would like to
know
