PREVENTION OF CRUELTY TO ANIMALS.
Twentieth Century Club Has Appointed Com
mittee TO Work With Agent Stout.

Recognizing the good work that is
being done by the State Society for the
Prevention of Cruelty to Animals, and
wishing this organization to be better
represented in this town, the ladies of
the Twentieth Centbry Club have ap-
pointed committee of three on the
part of the club and three on the part
of the citizens of Smyrna to act in con-
junction with State Agent Stout, of
Wilmington, in investigating any cases
that might need attention. This COM
mittee is composed of W. H. Janney,
L. M. Price, J. E. Hoffecker, Mrs.
Harry Q. Tschudy, Mrs. J. H. Speak
man and Mrs. L. H. Cloak. The pen
atty for cruelty to dumb animals is

FRUIT SHIPMENTS AROUND SMYRNA.
Estimated That Nearly a Million and a Half
Fruit Carriers Are Used TO Market Fruit.

In this section of Delaware alone,
says w. l.. McFarlane, in story to the
Philadelphia Sunday Record, over
400, 900 baskets are used in the ship
ment of the strawberry crop, and while
a number of the patches are being
taken out new ones will be put in, so
that the demand for this particular
basket the coming season is likely to
increase. The marketing of the peach
takes at least $50, 900 baskets, and with
the coming in bearing of hundreds of
new orchards the demand for this bas-
ket will surely grow.
The plum crop year by year is in
creasing. and fully 400, 900 baskets will
be required to take this crop to the
city markets, with an increase of at
least 25 per cent. in the next two years.
For the grape crop $780, 900 will be re-
quired. At least 100000 baskets will
be required to market the other small
fruits. So it can be readily seen that,
with a demand for nearly 1900, ,OOO
fruit packages, the horticulturists are
very much interested i'll the new Mer
ganthaler- Horton basket invention,
that has a tendency to lessen the price
of these fruit packages.

QUIETLY MARRIED IN NEW YORK.
Miss Edith Swinuey. Daughter of DR.. c. 0.
Swinney CT this Town, Married to Mr..
Eruway L. Beyes, OF Alfred. NY.

Social circles received a pleasant
surprise this week when it was learned
that Miss Edith Swinney, the bright
and attractive daughter of DIR. Curtis
0. Swinney, was quietly married in
New York City, Saturday evening, to
Mr.. Ernway Langford Beyea, of
Alfred, n. Y, son of ProfsL. S. Beyea,
a member of the faculty of Alfred Uni
versity. The wedding took place at
the residence of the brides sister,
Miss Grace Swinney, at six o'clock,
and was performed by the Rev. George
B. Shaw, of Washington Square Mem
orial Church, before a few relatives
and friends. They left Monday -0r q
trip and will he cat Home" in Alfred,
n Y, after February the first.
There is a sweet little romance sur
rounding this wedding that found its
beginning, while a happy school girl,
in pretty little college town, nestled
among the picturesque Alleghenies.
In the winter of '99-190O, Miss Swim
ney attended a course of study at
Alfred University, a educational
school at Alfred, n. Y. While there
she met Mr.. Beyea, who coincidently
was member of her class. Their ae-
quaintance ripened into a friendship
which was renewed with deeper affee-
tion during her sOjourn in Alfred last
summer. Two weeks ago Mr. Beyes
came to Smyrna to make her visit.
While here their plans were changed,
she resigned from RaymOnd's School,
and when he left Friday morning he
quietly and without any knowledge OF
the part of her friends, took his bride
elect with him to New York City, anC
the wedding was solemnized as soOI
} as Dr. Eva F. STinney, her sister, ha(
arrived from WestborO, Mass. Mis-
} Swinney is popular with a large circf
of friends, who wish her bright ant
| happy married life. It is likely tina
Mr.. and Mrs. Beyea will soon g

MORE MONEY FOR RURAL CARRIERS.
Rural Delivery Agents viii Get a SlOO Raise
to Their Salaries in the Future.

Carriers of rural mail in this State
will be glad to learn that the lower
House of Congress Thursday, increased
their salaries from $500 to 5000 a year.
MI. Hill, of Connecticut, moved for
the increase in salary, explaining that
many of the carriers were poorly paid.
He produced a tabulated statement
compiled from returns received by him
from some carriers in his district, to
show that over and above expenses,
these carriers earned only fIom thirty
eight to fifty-six cents day. The mo-
tion was carried by a vote of 100 to 7S.
There are about thirty-five carriers in
Delaware.
