A spark from a south-bound extra Monday
set fire to old sedge along the right of wsy'
adjoining Geo. X. Knights, and burned over
quite track Of land OF MIR. knights and Sim |
PennewilIs and the Blair farm. No timber |
was injured. Lots Of rabbits were seen and |
several were burned to death.
Most Of our farmers are done gathering
corn. The weather is So dry it is difficult to
haul long fodder.
Our Public School is over-crowded. TIE
question will soon confront our people of
building a new schoolhousei if the attendance
increases as at present. The present building
is very inadequate to our needs. With the
present over-crOwdedness and lack offacii-
ties in the school room our teachers cannot
do the work they desire. -four school vo-
ters would look into the needs as they now
present themselves, we doubt not that action
would soon be taken or agitated, that another
year would find our children better provided
for.
The new Stave Co. will operate as the Hous-
ton Stave Co., and will soon be in operation.
A part of the machinery has arrived and the
arrangement OF the building shows that the
operators will have nice quarters to work in

Kent County Rural Mail Delivery

quire another month to get ready for the in
stallation Of the complete rural free mail de-
livery for lower Delaware.
The list of names for the thirty-ene Jobs to
be given out in connection with the new sys-

laid before Postmaster-GeneraI Smith for his
appointment, but before the assistants are
appointed a superindent, probably Clark NJ.

who laid out the routes in Kent county, will
return to the Dover Federal building for a
few days and establish two additional routes.
The delivery win be in fun operation by
Christmas.
The whole of Kent county will be covered
/ by the service, the farmers being only re
quired to furnish suitable boxes. A patron
living along the routes will enjoy the privi-
lege ofbuying stamps money checks or regis
tered letters Thus the farmers get better
advantage of the mails than people living in
the cities. The chief advantage, however, is
that the farmer in the most distant points
can enjoy his daily paper instead Of waiting
a week to keep up with the worlds doings
For the position of superintendent-if one
should be required--twO names were submit

They are Rev. Jonathan S. Willis, of Milford
and Clark NJ. Mensch, of Magnolia, who il

Dover, Del, Nov. 11.-William H..
Decker was publicly whipped in the
Jail yard on Saturday by Sheriff Frank
Reedy for horse stealing. The sen
tence was 20 lashes. which was the
lightest that could be given under the
statute which provides for the punish
ment of horse thieves. Decker is a
middle-aged man and very frail, and
it was feared that the fiogging would
cause an attack of heart failure, Il
which he is subject. Sheriff Reedy
however, applied the lash quickly an'
rapidly, and Decker was soon back il
his cell. The prisoner, who appeare'
to lose his nerve entirely when takel
to the post, became composed afte
the ordeal was over. and thanked tn

RoBERT G. HoUsToN ESQ, of
Georgetown. has pulled the Collec-
tor of the Port Of Wilmington plum, y
and will soon supplant DR.. Cooper,
a Democrat, whose term expired
nearly one year ago. In this Pres
ident Roosevelt has followed his
expressed intention-~to recognize
: sressmaanB Ball in making Fed
eral appointments, and the Union
Republicans are in no way disap-
pointed. The President could have
named much more distastefu1 ap-
pointee to Union Republicans than
Mr.. Houston; and, his selection of
men so far for public Office has en-
couraged the young men to jealous
effort for their party. Mr.. Hous-
ton is of the younger class of Re
publicans, and, as his faction has
had all the plums, we are glad to
see President Roosevelt recogniz-
ing young blood, and turning down
the old fellows who have been rec
ognized and honored to the full for
past services. Mr.. Collector Of
the Port, Robert G. Houston, has
received his reward for the part he
successfully played in the boiling
campaign which was inaugurated
in 1896, and which rent asunde1
the grand old Republican party o.
Delaware, whose banner his uncle
the late Hon, John w. Houston, sc
proudly bore to victory loyalty sup
ported by the men and their son:
who fought Democrats continu
Ously until Delaware was redeemed
and who now-because of the re
bellion of Mr.. Houston and his as
sociates and friends, the Democrat,
Justices-of-the- Peace-are enrolled
under the Union Republican ban
ner.
The boilers are welcome to thei
1oaves and fishes, but the Unioi
Republicans of Delaware will con
tinue to fight the Democratic meth
DDS which have caused great count
debts to be piled up, and robbed tn
people by an exhoritant fee sys
tenn.
No federal patronage has eve
come to the Union Republican,
and they have expected none; a
though at all times urging that ju.
tice be done,and the majority part
of Delaware Republicanism be rec
ognized. At the next election
Delaware we believe we shall wi
unless Willard Salisbury and d
Pont combine and form an astounc
ing corruption fund; but as bot
are requiring assurances for the
money which no man will risk, Il
food tide will land the Union r,
Rublicans safe winners in 1909.

ement of the affair

A retrospect ofth7 factional fight
of the Republican party in the
Stateis one that is rot profitable at
this time, or one that is not-iesira-
bic for either comfort or the feel
ings engendered by recent events
that have taken place.
Apparently, at this time, the
Union Republicans are eight up
against a stone wa11'' by the selec-
tons of federal officers in Della
ware by President Roosevelt. In
reality, the appointments are not
meeting with the generous appro-
val of the rank and file of Repub-
hcans of either faction; to be hon
est, the people are not pleased, the
rank and file are mad; and by this
cans the barrier will be sur
nted.

A fire at Berlin last Tuesday caused
a loss of five dwellings, a church, two
stores, and two livery stables, and for a
time it was thought that the entire
business portion of the town would be
wiped out. Six years ago the town
was almost wiped out, and it has no
apparatus to fight fire. This is almost
criminal negligence on the part Of
small towns, in these days Of chemical
engines.
