Farmer::Walton's Record.

Farmer JOEL Walton, who
resides about one mile west Of
Kennett, attended the Wilmington
market twice each week for forty
years. Rain or shine, hot or cold
he never tailed, thus making 100
trips to this city from his farm.
We think a record like this has
never been made by any one else
in Pennsylvania at lest. The
distance travelled during this time
would reach II5,4So miles. Mr..
Walton has recently retired from
the business. His stand was in

The prompt action Of Dog Catcher Kopp
and his assistant prevented the wreck Of u
passenger train this morning. Shortly
before 10 o'clock as freight train sped
around tho curve at the Harlan and Hol-
lingsworth Companys yards the two men
noticed that the door Of refrigerator car
was open. 1t projected part way over the
adjoining track. The two men called the
attention Of the fireman and he informed
the engineer and the train came to stand
still. The door was safely closed and the
train crew thanked the dog catehcrs for
tho informssion given. The door had
been closed only couple Of minutes
when an express train came over the I'D.
Joining track. With tho heavy door
swinging over the adjoining track it
would have been impossible to avert q
wreck.
