Special Correspondence to the TIMES.
CHEswoLD, Jan. 27.-Rural free de.
livery matters seem to be taking def
mite shape for operation at the time
now stated to be set for March 18th.
Myers d. Casson and Byron 1. Cred
ick, carriers for the two routes radiat- I
ing from Cheswold, have bonded, as
have also their substitutes, John T. |
Ware and W. j. Smith, respectively.
With $50 acres in tomatoes for Ches- |
void cannery, $50 for Leipsic, and as
Stunning that Brenford and Kenton will |
each want 200, making the aggregate
1000 acres within the radius here nam
ed, and followed by a good average
yield, say 10 tons per acre, one natu-
rally wonders what will be done with
the tomatoes. One of our farmers says
every grower of tomatoes ought to
have in reserve quantity of hogs to
feed, or an open field in which to
spread them, should there be surplus.
Misses Maie Conaway and Florence
Taylor, our Public School teachers,
have placed upon their library shelves
fresh supply of books furnished
through the instrumentality of the
Dover Century Club. These books
can also be used by the public if the
conditions are complied with.
Mr.. Frank A. Moore, while superin-
tending some repairing to the shed
roof of the cannery last week, made
misstep and fell backward distance
of twelve feet, sustaining a sprained
ankle and other bruises with which he
is still confined within his home. With
the railroad track, rough ties and
boarded cutters beneath him it is a
marvel he escaped as fortunately as he
did.
The supper held at the home of Mr..
and Mrs. w. G. Savin, near Cheswold,
by Mrs. Roe's Sunday School class of
young men. proved to be a very pleas
ont social event and also a success
financially. The young men, as wait
ers, were equal to the occasion, it is
said, and catered to every wish and
want which they could watchfully de-
tect at the tables. Music and recita-
; tiOns also filled in the evening hours.
1.-The Royal WILL" dedicated to our
: martyred President, VIM. Mckinley,
was sung by j. Ralph Stout, with vo.
> cal solos, Duets, &C., by Miss Lulu
: Boggs, Mamie Buckson and others
John Kemp, Jr., recited some popular
= humorous pieces, as did also Miss
Ethel Hardcastle. The class cleared
about $50, which they will put in th,
missionary fund.
d The 'rummage sale" which the La
II dies Aid have conducted here the pas
e two weeks was brought to a close Sat
h urday evening with an auction. 4
l. large crowd was present and the auc
t, tioneer had no trouble to knock off tn
10 remaining stock on hand to any one
p even without their bid, amid mucl
20 sport and good feeling. The ladie
IN will realize about $50, from which tn
lie parsonage will be supplied with som,
i furnishings, it is said.
