There was some excitement caused
near the corner of Rodney street and
Smyrna avenue on Saturday morning
by the runaway of Bnhmler's delivery
wagon of Smvrna. The team was in
charged of Fred Lang and while he
was delivering some bread at the back
entrance of some dwelling, the horse
became frightened at something and
started to runaway. There was no one
IN the wagon and with free rein it
dashed pell nell down the street, over
turning the wagon, spilling the con-
tents and breaking the top. The horse
was caught with no other damage ex-
cept as above mentioned.
The Clayton Public Schools opened
yesterday with a total enrolment of
96. Early in the morning the little
folks were seen going along with their
arms full of books, states, &C., some
with happy, beaming smiles, while
others especially among the boys, were
iOathe to giveup the pleasures of sum-
mer vacation for school life. The hot
weather also had a depressing effect on
some. Prof. W. l.. Gooding, princi-
pal; Prof. ". W. Hynson, assistant,
and Mrs. Minnie Reynolds and Miss
Emily Spruance, teachers were on
hand to give the scholars a cordial
greeting and the schools opened with
prospects of a successful year. The
enrolment of yesterday does not come
up to the average attendance by many
numbers. This fact is due largely to
the canning factory which employs
many children. When this closes
down for the season the effect upon
the attendance of the school will be
very materially changed.
Robert ID. Moore, of near Blackis-
toms, was arrested Monday and ar
ralgned before Magistrate Cooper of
Smyrna, charged by William G. Lamb,
his employer, of trespass and profane
and threatening language. He was
found guilty and fined with costs
S3.54, and held In 800 peace bond not
to trespass anymore for year. Mr..
Lamb rented part of his house to Mr..
Moore, and the agreement was that
they should use the pump in common,
but neither one was to take his horse
or any other cattle in the yard for
water. Instead they were to carry
the water outside the yard in buckets
as they needed. Moore took no no.
tice of Lambs request and still con-
tlnued to lead his horse in the yard,
and even defied his wife, who with her
little child was afraid tc sit in the yard
Tor fear that Moore in his desperation
might do some damage. Lamb
soon got enough of his tenants actions,
and an alteration took place between
them. The former swore out warrant
Tor his arrest and the case disposed of
as above mentioned. Moore paid the
penalty and assured Magistrate Cooper
that he would not annoy Mr.. Lamb
again.
A delightful strawride was made up
N town last evening, chaperoned by
Mrs. George Allen and Mrs. Frank
Sterling. They went thorough town
with a merry jingle and from there to
Smyrna and thence to the farm of
Clint Ransom, near that town, to be-
come the guests for a short while OF
Miss Allie Severson. They had an
easy going wagon, which they made
as comfortable as they could with
straw and a team of horses that took
them through the country with nice
gait. At the home of Miss Severson
this jolly party made things lively and
part of the time indulged in water
mellon and cantaloupe feast. Those
who participated were: Miss Ida Will
son, Miss Lola Springer, Wilmington;
Miss Florence Smith, Philadelphia;
Mr.. Alexander Walmsley, Middletown;
Messrs. Ralph and Reynolds Steven
son and Homer Lewis, of Smyrna;

aughy, Ethel Ennis, Florence Hollett,
