Are the people Of Dawson going tc

valuable enterprise in the ciryP
AS is we'll known, the Dawson Variety
Manufacturing Company, which has
been of untold benefit to Dawson, cannot
be successfully operated ~ the future
unless it is reorganized.
A movement " S started sometime since
tG .crm stock company for the pur-
nose of buying and,operaticg this valuable
nroperty, but the project is not meeting
with the encouragement that 1t deserves
II is proposed to capitalize the company
at $40. 600, which, it seems, ought to De
small sum to raise among The mer~
chants and business men of the city who
are so vitality interested in every thing
thai is calculated to enhance lie pres
perity of Dawson. But only SlIOOo OF
the stock has yet been taken, and 1t now
appear, to be doubtful ii the remaining
shares can be disposed of at home.
The plant itself is worth many thous-
ands of dollars, and, while in operation,
made good per cent On the money IN
vested. and was of incalculable benefit
to the commercial interests of the city
The company employed from 70 to IOO
hands. and $4,000 is a low estimate OF
the amount of foreign money that 1t
brought here annually and distributed
among the merchants and otherIbusiness
men of Dawson through the regular
channels of trade.
Especially are the merchants interest
ed lin keeping this works here, and If
they afail to take stock in the
new company that is proposed they will
be very much in their own light.
A gentleman with good business Judge
ment SAYS the investment would pay 20
Unless the company is reorganized
this valuable property will be moved to
another city or operated on small
scale. Either wonld be a calamity to
Dawson, and the effect would be mate
rally felt.
If the people of Dawson would retain
this enterprise, which has done much
more ethan any one thing else-insmak-
ing Dawson the thriving city it is, now
is time to act.
S. rely tley are not going to let this
valuable enterprise leave US or dWlndle
to nothing when it could be so easily
prevented by all helping little.
A strong and a united pull for Dawson
would be. sufficient answer.

A Sultan of Turkey once said,
AS he groaned at the pain in his head,
ooh, my favorite wife,
| am sick of this life,
And l wish very much l We're dead"
But his wife, who was wise, answered
"Fie!
If you will Pierce's Pellets but try,
You'll be well in week
And then you will speak
OF these Pellets with praise just as

DIR. Pierce's Pellets cost only rs cents

you follow the example of the Sultan of

WYE CAMP.

Closing Exercises After a Very Sue
cessful Session.
The services at Wye camp ground closed
Tuesday morning. The camp had been in
progress for the past ten days, under the
managementof Rev. v. s. Collins, pastor of
the CentrevilIe Methodist Episcopal Church
who was assisted by a number of the ablest
ministers in the Wilmington Conference
The encampment was in every way sue
cess particularly from religious standpoint
there having been score of conversions.
The weather was very favorable and good
order prevailed during the entire encamp-
ment. The attendance on an average Was
as large as usual. The number of tenters
from distance is increasing every year,
showing that these encampments on the
grounds of Golden Run" are growing in
popularity. The religious services, which
were held in the large tabernacle, consisted
of preaching service morning and even
ing followed by revival. Children's meet
ings, Sunday school and Epworth League
services were also held daily, at different
hours, all of which were well attended.
For the first time in many years the camp
was continued for two Sundays. The con-
veniences and comforts of this resort are inn
proved each year, and the encampment is
now justly considered one of the best in the
State. The grounds, which were donated
by the late Matthias George, of Queen Anne's
contain several acres of well shaded land,
on which are erected some sixty neat two
story cottages, all of which were occupied
and costly furnished.

instantly killed by the passenger train that
arrived here at Z Bop. m.
Mr.. Huston's two sons, James IL, and
Joseph year or two younger, were out of
employment in Philadelphia, and having
heard that work was plenty in the peach
orchards decided try their luck for a few
weeks on the peninsula.
They left home on Tuesday morning and
came to Delaware City by boat, and walked
from thence to st. Georges, near which
place they secured little work, helping
some of the farmers to thrash their grain
They continued on their way down the
Peninsula on Wednesday afternoon walk
ing to Mt. Pleasant. On their way they met
Walter Hirst and William H. Furbush, also
ofPhiladelphia, who were bound for Bowers
Beach. They intended taking the train at
Mt Pleasant, but wanted.to make some pur-
road to Middletown.
As they approached the Frogtown cross
ing freight train came laundering along
and they stepped aside James Huston
stepping onto the North bound track.
The passenger train came upon him un-
heard. and before his companions could
utter word of warning, he was struck and
hurled distance of 20 feet into an adjoin-
field, the younger brother, being jeeked out
of harms way by one Of the others.
The passenger train was Immediately
stopped and backed slo WY to the scene of
the accident. and picked up the lifeless
body of the young man, and brought him
to the Middletown station.
The coroner was Immediately summoned
and message sped over the wire to the
father, who came down on the midnight
train. When he arrived he sought out
freight agent Black, and from him learned
the facts of the accident and begged to see
his boy. He would not wait until morning.
so Mr. Black took him TO the freight Office.
and there in the stiffness of the night he
wept and kissed the lifeless clay of his son.
He returned to Philadelphia next morning
leaving his younger son to attend the in
quest and take home the body.
The coroner was expected on the ell
train, but failed to make connections, and
ordered the body sent to Wilmington on
the 1925, where the inquest was held, and
from whence the remains were sent to
Philadelphia.
The father of the boy is hard working
man with big family and deserves the
sympathy Of all in the loss of his son.
A sad incident connected with the case
the fact that the younger brother did not
want to leave the body alone, and also re-
quested that his mother should not be in
formed of the accident, "as it would kill
her.

John Stevens, well-known citizen of
Warwick, died suddenly on Sunday in his
69th year. He was an honorable and up
right man, and at one time quite well to do.
But his consideration for others was his
misfortune, and in his old age his farm and
all his possessions were swept from him
through security. He lived a hermit's life,
and though man ofconsiderable education,
he. mingled but little with the world. Since
he lost his sproperty he has managed to exc

potato centre oftha county, and as many as
10000 bushels have been shipped in a single

A Chinese Funeral.

A Chinese funeral never proceeds
from the house of mourning to the
graveyard. The devil is always on
the lookout for funerals, and follows
them to seize the soul of the dead
man, so, in order to outwit the evil
one, the bearers take up the body
and start with a brisk trot, while
packs of firecrackers and pyrotechics
emitting a dense smoke and vile
smell are set off just as the process
sion starts. Having thus deceived
Old Nick as to the direction taken by
the bearers, they run as fast as they
can with the body, then turn a corn
err and stop while more fireworks are
burned. The devil cannot turn a
corner easily, and so, If really in pur-
suit, he shoots Oh by, and by means
of a good deal of sudden turning and
stopping and a lavish expenditure of
fireworks, the funeral procession gets
to the grave in safety, while the old
boy, confused by their movements
and half suffocated by the fireworks,
is still wandering about in the city.
The Chinaman who dies in the coun
try is not in such good luck, for there
is less chance to outwit the enemy,
but by many detours it very often
can be done.
