A ssO Prize Awarded to Gilbert S. Jones.

Gilbert S. Jones received letter
from the Philadelphia Press Saturday
stating that he had won the first prize
given to the State of Delaware for the
best essay on: "Who are the three
greatest Americans" The prize was
$50 to be awarded for the best attempt
made by a school boy under 18 years
of age and the judges, Francis H. Hof-
fecker ESQ.,, Washington Hastings
Esq, and Judge ID. L, Marvel in
awarding the first prize to Gilbert
Jones have conferred an honor to the
town as we'll as the winner. The sec
Ond prize has not been publically an
nouneed yet. This makes the second
honor that has come to Smyrna in a
Delaware contest, Miss Mary Budd
having won the Youths Companion
prize on: "The American Flag.
In naming the three greatest Ameri-
cans Mr.. Jones considered Washington
the Father; Lincoln, the Custodian and
Grant, the Savior Of our Union. We
congratulate Gilbert upon his success.
It is an honor that he may we'll feel
proud of. In our public school he is a
bright and industrious student and has
no less shown his capabilities as com
! ing orator as well as a writer. Under
\ Principal LeFevre he is receiving spec
ial attention as post graduate student
and hardly lets an opportunity slip by
that will serve for his advantage.
Miss Clara HAZEL was the only othel
contestant from Smyrna.

The talk Of a Fourth of July cele-
bration does not seem to stir much
enthusiasm. Our sister towns, Dover
and Middletown, are making prepara-
tions for a gala event but Smyrna will
have but comparatively little interest
other than a slight demonstration Of
fire crackers etc. A bicycle road race
is being arranged and probably some
track races, but most of Smyrna's ex-
hibition will be nn evidence al either
Middletowu or Dover. In the event
Of base ball team being organized,
which nov looks probable, the first
game will be played with Dover at
Dover. Our turfmen will turn their
attention to Middletown where they
have been invited to take part, The
Belmont Track Association expect II
give an interesting two days program
on their ground sometime about the
middle of July. 1t is early yet to fore
cast how Fourth OF July will be OBJ
served in Smyrna, but it is hoped oul
citizens will not let the day pass with
out some demonstration.
