 J. o. Michell, cashier of the Bank of Green Forest, was in Berryville on business Thurs day.
 The Teachers Association held in Berryvile Saturday was not as largely attended as could be de- sired, but we are informed that an interesting and profitable ses- sion was held.
 Sheriff Grim went up on Piney Tuesday and brought to town "Aunt Rindy" Alfred who will be returned to the county poor farm from which she has been absent some three months. Aunt Kindly has been quite noted character in these parts for perhaps a third of a century. Hopelessly insane, she is one of the most harmless of creatures, is known to almost everybody iii the country and can almost always find lodging wher- ever she chooses to putup, hardly anyone having the heart to turn her away.
 An attempt to break jail which must have proved successful had it not been discovered in time had itnot been discovered in time, was made Monday night. Someone had succeeded ill furnishing the prioners with a saw of the kind used in dehorning cattle, and a steel bar about two feet long carefully sharpened and temper ed. Part of the prisoners kept up a constant singing and dancing racket while one worked away at the bars of their cage and they would doubtless sshave succeeded in cutting out within the course of the night had not the sheriff s suspicious been aroused and a search of the cells was made and their tools taken away from them. Both the saw and the bar ought to be easily indentified, Sheriff Grim authorizes us to say that they will be delivered to the owner upon the proof of oWner- ship.
 Sheriff Hamilton of Madison county was in Berryyille Monday on the hunt of one Louis Parker who resides near Marble and who IS wanted on the charge of assault with intent to kill one of his neigh bors whose name is Cogden As we learn the particulars there had been bad blood between the par ties and Cogden has threatened to kill Parker on sight. Saturday Cogden was passing by Parker's s house when the latter opened fire upon him with a rifle, shooting him through the base of the nose the first shot, inflicting a serious but not necessarily fatal wound. A second shot passed through the top of his hat. Cogden ran, and Parker, throwing down his rifle, picked up shotgun and gave chase, but before going far met Mrs. Cogden who was coming to her husbands rescue with a six shooter and who opened fire upon Parker empting the gun without effect. In the meantime it is said Parker took shot at her with a shotgun but missed and was com- pelled to sprint few himself, making good his escape. Failing to find any trace of his having es- capped in this direction Sheriff Hamilton returned to the Chill country of Judea'' to try and hunt him out of the brush where he is no doubt in hiding.

CHESWOLD BASKET MILL
BURNED TO THE GROUND
FEARFUL CONFEDERATION THAT FOR A
TIME ENDANGERED WHOLE TOWN.
Basket Works and Planning Mill Was the
Property of Joseph M. Ford and the Loss
is Estimated Between 5000 and $500.

CHEswoLD, June 12:-About twelve
o'clock last Thursday morning the cry
of fire and the ringing of bells aroused
the people of Cheswold from their
slumber. The fire proved to be the
planning mill and basket works of
Joseph M. Ford. Located as is, on the
southwest side of the town a brisk
southwest wind blowing at the time,
sent the high sparks from the light
burning material on the central por-
ton and for time our people we're
much frightened. Horses were re-
moved from stables to places of safety.
and household effects put in prepara-
ton for hasty removal. Had the near
est house, that of John Jewel, caught
from the flames, the consensus of opin-
ion seems to be the whole town would
have been swept. Hard and risky
work however, which with pride we
can Justly claim belongs to our Ches-
wold people, saved them from a gen.
eral conhagration. A little fire appar-
atus called "coffee MILL and laughed
at because of Its insignificant looks as
a fire extinguisher, forced sufficient
water through hose to save the Jewel
property and many others. The fire
was also vigorously fought with Other
appliances.
Mr.. Ford's loss is variously placed a
from 5000 to $500. This includes 270
half barrel baskets, several thousan
strawberry baskets, tools, machiner
and the building, upon which ther
was no insurance. How the fire orig
mated, occurring as it did in a stor
room for baskets forty feet from tn
engine and boiler on bright moor
light night, is a great mystery. Nj
: Ford is an honest, industrious worth
citizen and loses all by the fire. Fl
has, we learn, decided to rebuild
another part of the town.

INSECT PESTS TROUBLE FARMERS.
Melon Bugs Have Made Their Appearance in
This Locality NOticeabIy on the Farm Of
MIR. J. E. Carter-0ther Pests.

The farmers have had to fight the |
rose bugs from their vineyards as we'll |
as the potato bugs from their patches |
but not in the same numbers as for |
several years past, we are pleased to
say. In the past two or three years a
number of our progressive agricultur-
lists as has been the case also on the
Eastern Shore, have gone into the cul-
ture of cantaloupes and are met also at
the start by the "cantaloupe blight"
which is much worse than the bugs
above referred to. Hence they are
studying and applying the proper
remedies. Another annoying thing is
the striped Or melon bug. Joseph E.
Carter has found the best insecticide
to be the Bordeax mixture, and he has
already given his vines two sprayings.
They are numerous this year aud attack
the young plants before they are fairly
through the ground.
The effect of the blight is to cause
the leaves and vines to wither and die
making it impossible for the melons to
mature. Last year fields covered with
thousands of cantaloupes in all stages
of development were abandoned soon
after the shipping season began for the
the reason that the vines were so Sc
verely injured by the blight that the
melons were decidedly under size and
without proper flavor. A large part
of the material that enters into the
composition of the fruit is made IN the
leaf, hence an injury to the leaves
must as a result reduce the size anG
quality of the melons.
The first appearance of the blight il
the presence of small brown spots Oh
the leaves. These spots increase il
size and in number until the whole lea
or even all the leaves on the plant be
come brown and look as if they hat
e been scorched. When the disease ha
reached this stage it is impossible t
repair the damage. If anything is t
be done it should be undertaken be
fore the disease makes its appearance
: or at least in its very first stage. 1t
> impossible to predict whether or nc
the blight will appear during the SET
son. AS a rule it is more destructiv
during a damp, than during a DIR
p season, and since the weather cond
}: tions cannot be fortold for any consit
:, erable length of time it is importal
h that all possible precautions be take
ID to prevent the disease from becomiI
h established.

STRAWBERRY SHIPMENTS LIVELY.
Crop is Short this Season But Prices are
Good-Acreage Smaller Than Usual.

Monday was perhaps the banner
day" for strawberries on the Steamer
Brady. About 1900 crates were shipped.
The shipments last week would hardly
pay for daily line. The acreage is
fully fifty per cent less this than for
mer years. The returns however have
been much more satisfactory to the
growers, being nearly double those of
last year, but the pickers feel the diff
ference materially. 1t is stated that
the Southern berries are out of the
market, while the Northern ones are
not on vet. This condition of things
makes it fortunate for our growers.
There is complaint in some quarters
that the Aphis Is damaging the roots
of the plants, thereby materially les
sening the yield of the patches. 1t il
hoped that the experimental station
may find remedy for this pest.

CHILDREN'S DAY AT JERMAN CHAPEL
Chapel Crowded Sunday Evening Beyond Scat
ing Capacity, Splendid Program of Chorus
Singing and ReCitatiOns Rendered.

Children's Day was held at Jerman
Chapel Sunday evening and was the
occasion of much interest to the resi-
dents of West Smyrna. Jerman Chapel
is one of the thriving appointments of
Smyrna Circuit and under the pastor
ate of Rev. G. L. Hardesty, isgrowing
in interest and enthusiasm. The Sun
day School could not have had more
delightful evening for their celebra-
ton. The church was beautifully dec
GRATED with June roses and other flow
ers, noticeable among which was an
arch of roses in the rear of the pulpit.
Superintendent William FAIRIES, who
has been popular leader in building
up the school, presided over the exer-
cises, and long before the opening
hymn the church was crowded to the
doors, and it is said that there were as
many standing outside of the church
door as there were inside. The pro-
gram used was entitled "rime of
Beauty" The children had caught up
the spirit of Children's Day, and in
the songs sung and speeches rendered
the enthusiasm would have done credit
to larger school. Miss Ethel Jones
was organist and she was assisted by
Mr.. A. B. Jester with the violin !;
George NJ. Rose, trombone; George
H. Sylvester, cornet, and Charles
Turner, bass. The program included
beside singing, some we'll rendered
recitations by Miss Edith Tucker, Miss
Helen Lloyd, Miss Mary Hardesty,
Miss Beulah Ransom, Master Irving
Brinton, Master Carroll Brinton, Miss
: Edith Smith. The Primary Depart
ment took part with a song 'In the
Garden" after which a class of SIX
girls and two boys rendered an inter
esting exercise. Pastor Hardesty
gave an address appropriate to the oc
casion and a Children's Day offering
ID was taken.

MRS. CURTIS o. SwINNEY DEAD.
Passed Peacefully Away at Her Home in Shi-
Ioh N. J. Monday Night

Mrs. Swinney, wife of DIR. G. o.
Swinney, died at her home in Shiloh,
n. j., Monday night, aged about 90
years. She grew up in the vicinity
where she died but came to Delaware
some twenty years ago where her hus-
band joined his brother, DIR. John
Swinney in the practice of medicine.
In the first part of March, the present
year, they moved back to their old
home, both broken down in health.
Mrs. Swinney grew more feeble with
the passing weeks until her life went
out on Monday night about midnigh t.
She was held in high esteem by her
friends in this town, for her many
womanly qualities, not only in relig-
ious things but on ali matters of moral
advancement, and was a loyal and
faithful worker in the temperance
cause. She leaves besides her hus
band an interesting family of children
five daughters, Misses Grace, Eva
Edith, Miriam and Nellie, the young
est being nine years old. They hav
many warm friends in this communit.
who condole with them in the losi
they have sustained. The remains
Mrs. Swinney will be inferred to-moi
