DEATH OF MRS. MATTHEW HAZEL
Died Wednesday at Her Home Near KeutOn In
Her 65th Year.

Mrs. Anna E. Hazel, widow of Mat
thew HAZEL, died on Wednesday at
her home near Kenton, aged 65 years.
Mrs. Hazel, whose maiden name was
George, was born in 1886 in Kent
county, Delaware, near Milford. In
1886 she married Matthew HAZEL. and
to this union were born four sons. all
OF whom survive her. Ollie B. and
Joseph NJ, who are prosperous far
mers living near Hartley, Del; Scott.
OF Philadelphia, Pa, and David F
OF San Francisco, Cal.
Mrs. Hazell was converted early in
life and Joined the NJ. E. Church. of
which she remained a devoted mem
Der for over half century. This. we
are sure, accounts in part, for that
tender loving spirit which always pre-
vailed, and dominated her life. She was
from child, the happy possessor of a
sweet disposition and then having
taken Christ as her guide SO early.
she truly lived model life. IT NAV
well be said of her none knew her but
10 love her, none named her but to
praise.
She has left not only her immediate
family beautiful example of Chris
tan life, but all the community in
which she lived feel that in her life we
have proof of the saving and keep
ing power of the blood of Christ. Her
mother, three sisters and brother
survive her. She was buried on Sat-
urday, Feb. end, in Hartley cemetery

CARROLL APPOINTED SUPERINTENDENT
Governor Hum Makes Him the Head of the
Kent County Public Schools.

Governor HUM, Thursday, ap-
pointed James E. Carroll of Dover. to
be superintendent of the free schools
of Kent county. His appointment is
to continue until June, and he is to
succeed G. G. Tlndall, who has re-
signed to accept the superintendencv
of school in Philadelphia.
Next week, the governor will ap-
point a superintendent to serve four
years from June, and it is generally
believed Mr.. Carroll will be chosen for
that term also.
In the Senate Mr.. Carroll was con-
tirmed unanimously. Retiring Super
intendent Tindall held the position
for thirteen years. He passed the ex-
animation for superintendent of a
Philadelphia school with a very high
average.
Mr.. Carroll, the new superinten-
dent, has been experimenting princi-
pal Of the Dover public schools for
twenty-one years. He is fifty years
old, and was born in Caroline county.
Nd. He is graduate of Washington
College, Chestertown, Md He began
teaching school in Greensboro, Md,
thirty years ago. When he came to
Dover, there were seven departments,
and they have increased to ten.
The Rev. Joseph Brown Turner pas-
tor of Dover Presbyterian Church
has been elected acting principal of
Dover public schools succeeding Pro-
fessor James E. Carroll who was ap-
pointed superintendent of the Kent
county public schools. Mr.. Turner's
term will extend until the election of
new principal which will possibly
not be before the end of the school
year. The Board of Education met to
elect a principal and although Mr..
Turner was not a candidate he was the
unanimous choice of the board.

BLIND STAGGERS AMONG HORSES.
Farmers In ThOrOuehfare Neck Meet With
Serious Losses.

One day last week Harry Pfeisterer,
living near Walkers, Blackbird hun :
dred, lost two horses out of four that
were sick with the disease called
"blind staggers," that has carried off
so many animals. Mr.. Walker living
on the "Spruance Farm, near by, has
also lost two horses. They die us
ually soon after the attack begins, be-
fore there is chance to do much for
them. From certain symptoms DIR.
Ryan thinks it is not the "blind stag
gers" but an infectious disease that
has come from Europe with hides
brought TO this country for tanning.
