RURAL MAIL DELIVERY IS
DELAYED At WASHINGTON
BUREAU MUST MAKE REQUIRED REPORT
OF CARRIERS RECOMMENDED.
Full and Complete List of Carriers and Their
Substitutes Recommended For Smyrna,
Clayton, KentOn, and CheswOId.

There will be delay in installing the
free delivery routes in Kent county.
DEL, for which the recommendation of
superintendent and carriers was made
last week by Representative Ball. The
reason for this is that the Postoffice
Department must observe the rules
with regard to starting routes, and
great care is exercised in placing the
work of the Department in the hands
OF new officials. Until the Special
Agent Smith, who looked over Kent
county and recommended the free rural
delivery system there has had time to
return from the West, where he is now
at work, and can examine the various
carriers recommended, the appoint
ments will not be made nor the service
started. Mr.. Ball has filled the list of
selections for the positions, but it has
not yet been approved by the Postmas-
ter General, and will necessarily wait
until the Bureau in charge has made
the required report on the men recon-
mended. 1t Will be some weeks vet
before this is done. Special Agent
Smith has the plans of the routes in
his position and until he returns, the
territory in this locality cannot be
published.
Last week we published a list of
Kent County Rural Mail Carriers as
recommended by Congressman Ball.
In this vicinity the list was not com
plete, or rather the substitutes had not
all been named The names and routes
are recommended as follows:
Smyrna-Route 1, c. B. Archer; substi-
tute, E. Marriott Archer. Route 2, w. H.
Carr; substitute, Thomas Davis. Route 8,
Walter McClary; substitute, Henry Seimes.
Clayton-ROute l. w. Z. Whaley; substi-
tute, Reese Hill. Route 2, Walter Ford:

in getting plenty of light to adapt it to
the needs of his optical business. The
second story will also be utilized, and
entrance will be made to this, by a
stairway on Main street, adjoining the

GUN DISCHARGED WHILE
PULLING It FROM WAGON
FEARFUL ACCIDENT TO AYERS STOCKLY,
son OF JOHN c. STOCKLY.
Was Getting Ready for Shot at Ducks Near
Walkers When the Gun Accidentally
Went off, Entering His Side.

In an eagerness to get a shot at a
flock ofducks which had passed over the
"Stockly Farm" near Walkers, Satur-
day morning, Ayres Stockly, the fif-
teen.year-old son of Mr.. and Mrs.
John C. Stockly of this town, met with
an almost fatal accident.
In company with Charles Daily,
young Stockly left home shortly after
seven o'clock Saturday morning for
bis fathers farm near Walkers, four
miles from Smyrna, tenanted by John
Hamilton. They were taken down in
team by Richard FAIRIES, who, with
bis son, were on business trip. At
the farm, Stockly and Daily jumped
Our, intending to extend their
cunning tour over in the direction of
Gardner's farm a mile or more distant,
when the thought struck them that
they would hasten to the "Staats
Farm" where the ducks were supposed
to have lighted. The boys rushed for
their guns, and III an eargerness to get
in a good position for a shot, Stockly
ia pulling his gun out of the dearborn,
received the discharge in his right
side near the shoulder. The gun was
amuzzle loader and was concealed in a
leather case. In pulling it out the sup
position is that the trigger struck
an iron brace on the side of the dear
born. Daily was standing just back
Of him when the accident occurred.
StOckly sank to the ground, with a
flow of blood rushing from the wound.
The suddenness of 1t all was appalling.
Assistance came to him quickly, and
when the nature of his wound was real
lied, he was carefully wrapped up in
abanket and brought Immediately to
bis home in Smyrna, where medical
aid was summoned. DIR. Clifton, as
sisted by DR.. E. S. Dwight and DIR. G.
t. Harmonson, were soon by the little
fellows bedside. In addition to our
local physicians, DIR. Hearn, the we'll
known surgeon of Jefferson's Medical
College, Philadelphia, Pa, was sum
nOned and came down on the noon
train. Every thing was done that could
be dOhe, and the operation was sue
cessful. 1t was found that the dis
charge had partly entered the boys
side, opening a fearful wound, shatter-
Ing rib and bruising the lung.
lOung Stockly never lost conscious
hess, and he bore the pain heroically
A trained nurse has been with him
constantly since the accident, aud
everything is being done to prevent
Serious complications from setting in,
That nature may do the work of heal
Ing. The accident has caused wide
SIread sympathy. Ayres Stockly is
one Of the brightest boys of his age il
town and is favorite with his play
mates, who, with the many friends O.
his family, await anxiously for his
complete recovery.
