The thieves who have been keeping the
residents of Townsend awake for the last
six nights, tried to enter the home of
Thomas Lattomus, the town postmaster,
Tuesday night. Being unable to force
open a back door in the postmaster's
house, the thieves broke a pane of glass
in a front window after forcing open the
shutte s. Mr. Lattomus was awakened
by the noise and got downstairs in time
to see the two thieves escaping. The
town people are thinking of organizing a
company of men to round tip the thieves.

BOAD CONTRACTS AWARDED
Contracts for building several roads in
New Castle county were awarded Tuesday
afternoon at the meeting of tbe Levy
Court. In giving ont the contracts it was
decided to make a thorough try out of
limestone as a building substance and two
roads will be constructed of tiiis material.
The decision in favor of limestone was
made after a trip of the Levy Court to
Snow Hill, Md., last week, where the
members inspected a road built from
limestone. Thé unanimous opinion of the
members of the Levy Court was strongly
in favor of limestone. The road they in
spected had been constructed for two
years and not a cent had been spent upon
it for repairs. The road is said to be one
of tlie best iu that section of the country.
The roads to be constructed from lime
stone are the Middletown and Warwick
road aud the Pine Tree and Odessa road.
The contracts for the building of eacli of
tiiese roads was awarded to Theobald
Harsch. For the Middletown and War
wick road, leading from Middletown to
the Maryland state line, was awarded
for 13,500 feet for $12,000, the road to be
completed after July at a total of $17,300.
The bid of Mr. Harsch upon the Pine
Tree and Odessa road was $14,000, to be
completed after July for $19,330. The
building of the Lancaster turnpike was
awarded to John A. Kelly & Company
for $15,260. This road will be constructed
of Birdsboro or VVooddale stone.
The question in the two former roads
being completed after July is brought
about by another appropriation being due
at that time. The bids for the roads were
given with the understanding that the
amount alreadyin hand for those roads
should be used and they be completed at
the same rate after the appropriation has
been received.

GOOD OLD SPRING TIME
Could Paradise be fairer? Perhaps..the
long and tedious winter through which
we have just passed, has brightened onr
appreciation of this season of bod and
blossom, for we enjoy all things by con
tract, and perhaps this passing from the
snow and cold of winter to the warmth
and verdure of spring at a single bound, is
unprecedented iu the memory of the''old
est inhabitant" and produces aud un
wonted thrill of pleasure. At any rate
you may talk of the purple haze of Italy,
the vine-clad hills of France, the sea
queeu tints of the Emerald Isle, the quiet
lanes of England fragrent with their bios
souring hedgerows; hot who ever will rise
with tbe sun these mornings can enjoy
the essence of them all, and not leave
their own door yards.
No sea girt isle can boast a fresher
green than our grass and foliage. The
air is vocal with the songs of birds and
odorous from the blossoming trees. Flow
trs of every hue are springing from their
retreats and bearing to our hearts bright
promises for the morrow.
All Nature seems instinct with
life and hope. Come then, ye sick
and sorrowful to this feast of good tbinge.
Don't spend these precious mornings toss
ing on your couch, hoping the doctor
will find a panacea for your ills, or that
something will turn up to dissipate youi
gloom.
Go out to meet these healing, inspir
ing influences which Natureis providing
for your relief,ojen your lungs aud hearts
to lier sweet breath and words of cheer,
and a balm more potent than any ever
patented by man. A God given panacea
for the ills of humanity, shall be given
you. You will be glad you are alive and
in this state aud that it is a beautiful
spring morniug.

TRUSTING
BY S. S. C.
What though the way seem dreary,
Look above ;
What though you grow weary,
Look above ;
God's spirit will watch o'er you
To guide and to restore you,
His angels go before you
God is love.
Sab heart, cease your repining,
Look above ;
Beyond the sun is shining,
Look above ;
Though cares may now surround you
Aud storms of life confound you
Yet sure bis mercy bounds you,
God is love.
Thy prayeis shall all be answered
Never fear ;
Though now thy hopes seem withered,
Brown and seer ;
He chastens but to try thee,
No good will he deny thee,
But keep his precepts by thee,
He will hear.
Then rest thee in his mercy
Heart of thine ;
Let my desires and wishes.
Merge with thine.
Then whatsoever befall thee,
Ttio' tempests wild appall thee,
Yet he the pathway clearly
Will assign.

LETTER TO N, J. WILLIAMS
Middletown, Del.
Dear Sir: The wear of paint goes by
gallons; the less gallons paint wears long
est. The reason, of course, is its strength.
It takes less gallons, because it is strong;
it wears a long time, because it is strong.
It is all paint and the strongest paint.
There is a beet paint among allpaint
paints. No two are alike, of course; One
is thin, another is thick; one has too much
lead, another too much zinc, another is
right. The right is Devoe so far as is yet
known. Perhaps somebody-else will find
out a better paint than Devoe; then Devoe
will become a more-gallons paint, a cost
lier paint, a weaker paint, a less-durable
.
pa î"|' 8 l e88 ' economlcal paint, a timid
P Bigger changes than that have come
over tbe world. Devoe has the lead; why
shouldn't we loee it to somebody else?

As the EYES control 10£ of töie
entire nervous system, is it nJ}t
reasonable that the Eyes wilX
cause restlessness, nervousness.'' 1 ,
headache and other reflex dis- \
orders of the entire system. The
eyes exhaust the nerve supply
faster when they are open than
you can restore them when
asleep. I remove the cause of
these troubles by correcting the
eyes.
Give me a call and I will be
pleased to explain more fully.
Office hours—9 A. M. to5P. M.
Monday, Tuesday and Saturday.
