A True Story.

HE didn't read the papers, for they hadn't
any news.
At least they didn't coincide with his es-
pecial views,
And when he came to town one day, with
criticisms ripe,
He climed to an electric lamp to light his
ancient pipe.
He didn't read the papers-he knew just
what was best;
He simply touched the wire and the fluid
did the rest"
You do read the papers, the great educa-
tors, and you learn where you can best get

WILLIAM Nj. REED.

The Record of a Life of Ninety
Years.
The death of William NJ. Reed on We'd
nesday, February 2Sth, removes from
Chesapeake City its oldest and one of its
most highly esteemed citizens.
He was born in New Castle County.
August 23d, 1904, and was the son of Martin
Reed. He was married in 1888, to Lucinda
Matthews, also of New Castle County, and
in 1910 they moved to Cecil County Nd,
and located at Frenchtown, where Mr..
Reed was employed by the old New Castle
and Frenchtown Railroad Company. He
remained with this company until the
route was abandoned. In 1866 he moved
to Chesapeake where he continued to reside
during the remainder of his life, his wife
having died in the winter of 1878. Of their
six children four survive them: John NJ.
Reed, well-known merchant of Chesa-
peake; George w. Reed. OF Philadelphia;
William L. Reed, of Chesapeake, and Mary
E. Brooks, the wife of Joseph H. Brooks, of
Chesapeake. The two youngest sons, James
Afford and Richard R., both having died,
one in Chesapeake, the other in California.
The record of Mr.. Reeds life is that of an
honest man whose uprightness and integrity
were known of all men. Since early life
he was identified with the NJ. E. Church Of
which he was a consistent and active mem
Der, devoted to the spiritual and temporal
interests of the church of his choice.
Although so far advanced in years, he
was active and vigorous until very recently,
and his familiar form was always well
coined one ON the streets and among the
people who held him in tender reverence.
His life at the close was so gentle and
peaceful as the fading away Of a summer
day, and leaves behind only beautiful re-
Elections that gild the horizon for those
that are left behind;
His funeral took place from the residence
ofhis son-in-law Joseph NJ Brogks lasl
Saturday. Rev. Mr.. Jaggard of tine NJ. E,
Church officisted, ASST sted by Rev. Mr..
Perry and Rev. Mr.. Hunter The pail bearer
were Frank Howard, Henry Howard, Harry
Jones, Jewel Clayton, Bennett Steele and
Tol Conrey. As tribute of respect all the
places of business in the town were closed
during the hour ofthe funeral which was
largely attended. Interment at Bethel
Cemetery.
