F. Beaven for the following interesting note, and the aceompanying letter from Benja'min Whiteley, to Dr. Thomas B. Greenley. The correspondence is of much interest to our older citizens especially.

Rev. Mr. Beaven says: "You areathfaerty to print the enclosed letter in your paper, if you so jjidge and have room for it. It may interest your readers, as it was written by a native of the county, now 85 years old, to an old friend their boyhood, also born in this county and who has readied tho age of 82 years. Dr.

Grceiiloy removed to Kentucky in 1838 and has practice medicine for fifty-six years. He has just returned from Atlantic City, where he attended a meeting of his fraternity and read a paper bo- foro that gathering. He is now in his native county, looking up the. few old acquaintances that remain. His health is perfect and his activity remarkable.

The Whiteleys were a well-known family in this county who won and retained the estconi of all who knew them." Mr. Whiteley's letter i.s dated Herndon, his home, near Cntousvillo, June 10th, and is as follows: MY DEAR FRI END You do not know how we all miss you. YDUV visit was so pleasant and agveotiblo that you can hardly conceive how delightful it was lo us. I trust you succeeded in finding my brother's and then got to the steamer in good time aud reached Hillsboro without accident. I hope your sojourn in your native county, and among old friends, will, bo a most enjoyable one to yon.

There are not many left now; the majority have crossed the river. If you meet with any whom I know I wish you would give them my love. Yon will find great improvements in Caroline, pven since you were there last. I was amazed when in Caroline, two years ago, to see the advance that has been made, particularly in and about Denton. I should like to see the old' homestead once more, and stand beside the graves of my deeply loved and sainted dead.

Perhaps that privilege may be accorded me in the not distant future. Who can tell? You are a great trav- eller, Tom. Six thousand miles last year for you was no child's play. "No pent-up Utica" contracts your powers. From youth to old age you have been a hard-working and busy man, and have tried to do all the good you could in helping and comforting your fellow-men.

The State of Kentucky will honor and cherish your memory long after you have quit these earthly scenes. You will leave an inheritance to your children which will be worth more to them "than gold or silver, or the cattle upon a thousand hills." With ad- 'vancing years, and as yonr grasp weaker, the, consciousness that you have done the best you could for the elevation and happiness of yonr fcl- low-mon will be a great consolation to you. I do not know Dr. Beaven personally, but I have noticed in the last few years his contributions to tho press, as published iu the DENTON JOURNAL. Will yon please present to him my kind regards.

With my fond love for you, I am affectionately and sincerely Yours, BENJAMIN WHITELEY. To Thos. B. Greenley, M. D.

The Con Outlook. A Philadelphia Eeeord correspondent thus epitomizes tho congression- ial situation in Maryland The recent conventions on the Eastern Shore have developed a wealth of Congressional material.

T. H. Lewis' bae- calauvate sormon of Western Maryland College on Sunday. He said: 'The true patriot is never a pessimist. It is the more necessary to emphasize this point in view of tho fact that much of what we are required to hear of in our own time-as patriotism is nothing but the exaggerated and hopeless complainings of those who have lost faith in their country.

I do not refer here to that large class of so-called patriots who love their country for the offices and who bewail the fate of the country when an election goes contrary to their wishes. The American people have a saving sense of humor and do not take these persona seriously, The cure for their pessimism is easy to come at. This splendid Republic is not too great to pei-ish. Its vigor, its liberty, its resources are all sublime if they move us on to peace if they open men's eyes and thrill men's hearts to the hope of peace." Speaking of the transfer of Rev. F.

F. Carpenter to Deal's Island the Frankford, correspondent of the Sussex Journal has this to say: "The people of this charge are highly indignant at the action which removes our beloved pastor from our midst. We are as sheep without a shepherd. Brother Carpenter has been the means of raising the church to a state of great prosperity. He has won the hearts of many who before have seemed hardened in sin, and the cooperation of all, and his sudden removal is the tearing away of a leader to whom the people have become very much attached, the very worst calamity that could have befallen this ohurch." The holiness camp-meeting committee requests us to publish the following notice: "There will be a pentecostal convention held on the holiness campground Thursday, June 21, 1900, morning and afternoon.

Those who have subscribed to the erection of the tabernacle, under which the serviees will be held, will please bring or send the money that day, as we want to pay the indebtedness on the same, and we wish all wanting tent sites to come or send their names. All tents are to be erected by Thursday evening, July 19th, and occupied by 6 o'clock Friday erening, July 20th, as the oamp will begin that day." Those who have been interested in the campmeeting at Rehoboth for several years have secured a new site for the auditorium. The camp- meeting services this year will begin AugustlSth. In addition religious services will be held each Sabbath evening from July 1, to the close of the season. Efforts will be made to provide the best pulpit talent that can be had.

"Big Thursdays" will be ugufrt 23 and 30, for which special talent will be secured. The Disciples of Christ have arranged to bnild a trolley road from Frankford to Ocean View, where they have secured a tract of land on the ocean front about six miles long. The men most interested are Jacob Deatrich, Jacob Johler and R. R. Bulgin, of Scranton, and Rev.

John H. Hopkins, of Clayton, Del. The place will be run on a plan similiar to that of Ocean Grove, N. and a large auditorium will bo erected.

Riee broke 17, Al- burger21, Berry 18, Towers 13, Williamson 10 aud Smith Longfellow 8. The final shoot will be next Wednesday afternoon, and the medal will be presented to the winner immediately after the contest is decided. It is an open fight between from three to ftve members. Rice, Longfellow and Alburger are tied at 75 per cent, each, and Berry at 71 thinks he is not so far behind as to be out of it, and Beauehamp, with an event to shoot up, by shooting in bis best form may make it uncomfortably warm for the winner, if he is not himself the winner.

Disorderly Constable Murphy, of Caroline, and Constable Vane, of Queen Anne, went to Oxford Monday night, and took Romey Pritchett, John Gibson, William Horsey, and George Dixon from the steamer Chesapeake, thence to Queen Anne.

On Tuesday morning Watson Murray and James Clarkson were arrested at Wayman's Wharf, Tackahoe Neck, on board the steamer Easton. The cases were disposed of by the magistrates at Queen Anne, Hillsboro and Ridgely. Whiskey was at the bottom of most of the cases.

Pritchett is in Denton jail awaiting the action of the grand jury on a charge of felonious assanlt, made by the 13-year-old daughter of Bascorn Flamer. They Are Laughing First Easton Star-Democrat.

Judge Pearce who was a friend from boyhood of the departed spoke for the bench. On account of the -numerous friends of Mr.

Gibson iu this county the JOURNAL reproduces the eloquent words of Judge Pearce. He said: GcnllviiR'ii of llit liar: The Court lias heard with feeliiiRS ol RIMIHI'IIC and yet witli a melancholy pleasure, the eloquent inhtilcs winch you have paid to the memory of our friend and brother. Wilh because ue ere reminded that weslull sue bini no more in our inidht; yet with pleasure Lorn witli pain, bc- caitbe rccognirc in the portraiture you i drnwu a truennd man. My own acquaintance with Charles II. Gibson began at .111 enrly period in his life, when we fellow sin luiits at Wu-hiiigton College, Cltctertown, he aud John Upshur youiipe.st students of the institution, affection ot their older developed those linking traits marked Itiui throughout life, iifltf which sovja dcared liint to the friends of later venrs.

The language of eulogy is not alums Ihe guasie ofvtnct aiul'uhen ilcath has Inlloxv- cd with the louch of his sceptre one whom have lo'. etl in life tin. most t-lrg(u! lips are prone to exaKgeration It becomes us, Itouevcr, lo avoid exaggeration in the discharge of tlic duty which theciiMotu of our profession imposes upon such occasions as the present, i i a say wilh truth Ihat nature was generous to friend, and cndouctl him uilli many rare gifts. He was ofcommanding stature, graceful in person and carriage, in manner and strikingly handsome in feature. His temper, though quick, vias genial, and so free from malice or blind resentment Ihat when Ihe jfuslof jrnssion was over, he was always rendy for generous and and ntnnly reconciliation.

"Like sunshine broken in a rill, Though gone buiibhinc still." His car was never deaf to the crv or distress, and his hand was always open to the of the poor, llisuatur.il abilities were superior, and, though never a too fond student in his profession, he attained an honorable position at I he bar and commanded a large practice at tlie time of his entrance into political life. There, 1m ambition was gratified by an honorable service of six years in tile House of Representatives and of the same period in the Senateof the United States, in both of which bodies tie enjoyed the respect and warm regard of his associates irrespective of party creed or afliliatiou. As he nearcd the su ift and sudden close of his life, dark shadows or sorrow fell across his pathway but are taught to believe Ihat the goodness of God, which is over us through all our lives in spile of human fault and error, is uot withdrawn when we pass through the door of death to that which is beyond, aud we may hope that in bis passage from time to eternity tliesc shadows have fallen apart forever.

1500. 150,000 Pairs of Summer Shoes Ready for Our Summer Shoe Sate We've scoured and cleared the whole shoe market of all shoes that are good enough and cheap enough to be a first-rate Wanamaker shoe-bargain. We picked up our knowledge of this new kind of shoe-. business when we had to get a lot of good shoes double-quick for a big contract. We visited factories; saw oppojh tunitiea that even makers didn't see.

We put factory and' factory together and learned the business. Had our first sale February 27, '99, and made a success. of it. Had another October 2, '99; success again. More sales--more success.

Good shoes for half--that was the cause of say, hard to do, and jolly to buy. To back us up, we have a regular business of over a million pairs of shoes a year, and that lets us into secrets and; knowledge that can't be got any other way. What we can't get by taking a makers overproduction, we buy leather for (thousands of dollars) and get the'sTioesf" made in dull times by factories that we almost control and show the maker how to do it. What we can't get any other way, we lose money on. How else do you suppose we get thousands of $2 shoes for and not one pair out of style, or out of shape, or out of anything, except out of somebody's pocket into yours?
