of permanent loan fund for talented and

Georgetown Inquirer Ia the memory
OF the oldest inhahitant never have the
roads been in such au awful condition as
they were up to Thursday. Ca many of
the roads leading to town a wheel would
in certain places sink nearly to the hub
and the poor horses had hard time of it.
The almost impossible condition Of the
roads has had a depressing effect on bust
ness in town. aud rendered the merchants
very unhappy.
Instances of brutality, it appears are
becoming epidemic in Sussex The latest
is reported by the Georgetown JGltrnal as
follows A Mrs Baker, an old woman of
Y years, living 10 Broad Creek Hundred,
near Laurel, was some days ago very

Milford Eeus: Peach growers are DOW
coming pretty generally 10 concedo that
the germs are not yet killed. Mr.. j. w.
o. Gardner has all along maintained that
they are not destroyed, and We coincide
in his belief. From examinations we
made in his orchard of peach, pear and
cherry buds, it seems to us plain that the
peach germ is alive behind the black spot
in the end of the bud. Mr.. Gardner trans
planted some small trees from his nursery
to the greenhouse, and these are now put
ting ont leaves. The ones selected ap-
peared to be the worst injured, but they
are alive except the extremities of the
upper branches. 1t must not be forgotten
that for three months yet the peach crop
I'll be in danger, but at present we think
growers can rest easy. Some thought, and
a few yet think, that many trees were
killed by the extreme cold. On cold days
with dry winds the bark did seem to
shrivel up as do limbs of the peach when
exposed to great heat, but wet and warmer
weather since swelled the limbs to their
normal condition. Trees with very little
life and strength may have succumbed,
but under ordinary conditions, we think,
they will not be found seriously injured.

The Supreme Court OF Philadelphia has
Just rendered decision in the case of the
b quest of $500, coo TO John S. Ysrdley by
cudlcil to the will Of John L. Neil
deceased. Mr.. Neill, made will in 1874
in which he left bequests to several chart
tatle institutions aud TO four children Of u
Mrs Oulhbertsou, to whom he was under
obligation. This will stood intact until
the latter part of 1876 when Mr. Yardley,
being sent for by Mr. Neill, drew up a
codcll by which the bequests were reduced
over $3.50 900, and Iardley was made
residuary legstee, which WAS equivalent to
a bsquest OF $780, 900. Mr.. Neil was
very weak al that time, both mentally and
physically. After his death, which &C..
Cured about q year after, Y .rdley presented
the will and codicil for probate. The
Cuthberts0ns aud the Penney ivania Hospi
tai thereupOu fled cavest alleging lack
of Parliamentary capacity by Mr.. Nsil at
the time of the drawing of the codcil and
undue Influence exerted upon him by Mr..
Yardley. The Orphans Court refused to
permit tie question of fact to go before q
jury. An appeal was then taken TO the
Supreme Court which has now reversed
the decree Of the lower court, directing
that jury must determine whether undue
influence was used, and whether Mr. Neil
was incapacitated at tbs time of signing
the codicil.

new 1prk Times.
In Philadelphia in 1929 the present
Joseph Jefferson, the third in his line, was
born. The earliest recollection Of this
man, who, in his chosen profession, has
won worldwide celebrity in his appear
ance as the child of 'Pizarro. This
entree upon the stage, which he has so
much adorned, was made in Washington
when he was a little more than three
years of age, and an incident connected
with that first appearance may possibly
have bent his mind to the taste for
comedy, which has since made him famous.
At the time in question his aunt the
great Mrs. Chapman, was playing Cora.
In that part, referring to tine child she
says to her husbagd, 'Alonzo!'
Sweet child he will speak soon
As she said this, on the occasion OF the
infant jos Jeferson's first appearance, he,
not at all awed by the popularity of his
situation, walked toward the foot-lights,
and, addressing the leader of the
orchestra, whom he knew, said Green,
why don't you play the fiddle2'
This break in scene, which ia one Of
the most sentimental upon the stage, al
may well be Imagined, created roar o.
laughter in the audience which could mo-
be controlled. From this time OF thu
child appeared frequently in minor part
on the stage and rs be grew up he adopted
the profession of an actor, despite tht
wishes of his father, who had intended
Kim to be painter OF stage scenery.

literary sharps. Sharon was OF course,
introduced to all the guests, and equally,

names. Finally the company was seated,
Sharon's left hand neighbor being quiet

The wine was unusually fine, and Nevada's
California Senator was soon In conversation
with those around him One OF his state
ments in regard to historical occurrence
called forth mild objection from his left
hand neighbor, 81 can assure you, sir,
that I am dead posted on that point, :"
sharply responded the honorable Senator,
who was somewhat nettled at having his
historical accuracy questioned The quiet
gentleman did not reply. He was van.
pushed. Sharon was naturally proud of
his victory, and after the company had
left the table he sought the host to find
out the name Of his conquered opponent.
