The people Of Snow Hill were much
pleased with the editorial of The Sun
Saturday calling attention 10 the need Of
better Geographic facilities here and other
towns on the shore. kilograms sent from
Snow Hill to Baltimore or Philadelphia
are repeated from Lewes, except when
il is possible To get Clayton, Delaware. TO
connect us with Philadelphia. which does
not occur very frequently. All telegraph
ing is delayed until the wire Is free from
railroad business. What Snow Hill and
towns on the Delaware, Maryland and
| Virginia Railroad needs is through
Western Union wire, and the business
would soon increase To such proportions
as 10 convince the telegraph company
that il had made a paying investment.
The polls are already up, and all that is
needed is 10 string the wire. Much of
the correspondence now done by letter,
would, with better ielegraphic facilities
be sent by wire.
One OF the saddest deaths that has
occurred in this community for a long
time happened last Sunday morning,
when Margie, the little six-year-o
ilaXcn- haired. bright and interesting
daughter of DIR. aud Mrs. Paul Jones sue
cumbed 10 diphtheria. She was delicate
child from birth and the dreadful disease
which caused her death was only few
DAYS in severing the cord which bound
her To this world and freed her spirit for
that world beyond The sympathy of
The entire community is with the hcrcaved
parents in the great loss they have sus-
tanned. Margic was a sweet child and
everybody loved her. The little thing
knew she was going 10 die and the
touching little messages She delivered To
papa and mamma would melt the hardest
heart 10 tears. Funeral services were
held at the grave in the Presbyterian
Chu.chyard on Monday afternoon by
R.v. d. u. Fitzgerald. The pall-bearers
were John W. Station, Will Powell, Henry
Johnson and Charles Timmons.
