FOUND DEAD

Samuel Thomas, colored, was found
dead in his little log cabin at Armstrong;
Corner, Tuesday morning at o'clock, by
Mr.. Harry R. Rhoades and Frisby Jones.
Thomas who was 72 years old, had lived
alone for the past twelve years, his wife
deserting him about that time. During
the past four months he had received
about $4,000 in accrued pensions, and
only two weeks ago got his quarterly
check of $24, and when it became known
that he had gotten the money, it was
thought the old man had possibly been
murdered. Coroner William Frick was
notified and he deputized Squire Will
liam R. Reynolds to hold the inquest.
The following jury was drawn: Messrs
Joshua Clayton, Jr., S. s. Holten, George
W. HAZEL, Purnell 7. Jones, Jacob S.
Cochran and John E. CHM. DR.. G. w.
Pearson made a post mortem examina-
ton, and found the heart was very much
enlarged, it weighing % ounces. The jury
rendered the following verdict:
''That, Samuel Thomas came to his
death from natural causes, superinduced
by an affection of the heart, which had
grown to an abnormal size".

SUPERSTITION OF BRIDES

The following clipping is taken from
the NeU York Weekly January 9TH, and
coming from our town, will un-
doubtedly be of interest to some of our
readers.
Middletown, Del.-There is a sense
less superstition in regard to the color of
the gown worn by bride. This super
stition is expressed in the appended
rhyme:
Married in white, you have chosen all
right;
Married in gray, you will 60 far away;
Married in black, you will wish yourself
back;
Married in red, you will wish yourself
dead;
Married in green, ashamed to be seen:
Married in blue, he will always be true;
Married in pearl, you will live in whirI;
Married in yellow, ashamed of your fel-
low;
Married in brown, you will live out of
town;
Married in pink, your spirits win sink.
The day on which couple are married
has also asigniication as expressed below:
Monday for wealth,
Tuesday for health,
Wednesday the best of all,
Thursday for crosses,
Friday for losses,
Saturday no luck at all
Sunday finds favor
With those who labor
And Is good day for all.

BLESSED is the poor man." Pickpock-

give him the wide birth. The tax col
lector never hounds him. Nobody tries
to borrow and no one asks him to endorse.
If the banks break he can grin and bear
it like man. He never runs over head
and ears in debt, and is not robbed by
lawyers or harassed by litigation. Burg
lars never invade his premises and he
sleeps in peace. When he dies nobody
questions his will or attempts to confs-
cate his bones. Blessed, therefore, are
the poor in pocket, for they always get
their moneys worth"

ripened intellectually, quick and gen.
eral sympathy, helpful spirit of enter
prise and high personal character, had
long endeared him to hosts of friends
to whom his untimely taking off will
bring a sad sense of irreparable loss. He
is survived by two sons, Robert and

several years ago.
