Middletown, Del, June 10, 1901.
The stockholders of the Elkton and
Middletown Railroad Company held their
annual meeting Tuesday morning at the
National Bank of Elkton. The old board
of directors was reelected for the ensuing
year as follows:-Samuel Rea, George
Wood OF Philadelphia; George S. Wool
ley, H. H. Brady, Chesapeake City; S. G.
Rowland, Port Deposit; L. NJ. Haines,
G. B. Finley, Elkton. At subsequent
meeting of the directors organization was
effected by re-electing Samuel Rea presi-
dent and F. W. schwarz secretary.
The Fourth in Middletown was a very
quiet day, there being nothing of attrac-
ton but the base ball game in the after
noon. Large crowds spent the day at
Augustine Park, while some helped swell
the crowd at Dover, Smyrna and else
where. The display of fire works was
the smallest for years, and our patriotic
people should keep close watch on our
sister towns, and not allow them to enjoy
patriotic celebrations more frequently
than does Middletown. All THAT is needed
is few of our leading business men to
take hold of such projects and success is
assured.
Last Friday the bodies of Lieutenant
Reynolds Driver and his sister, Miss Annie
Driver, were removed from Emmanuel
cemetery at New Castle to the family lot
