missionary anniversary exercises,
which were to have been held last
Sunday evening, have been post
poned until next Sunday evening.
Last Sunday afternoon, Rev.
and Mrs. Joscelyn started for the

able to pull them out. Mr.. and
Mrs. Joscelyn were obliged to get
out knee deep in the mud, and
while he attended to the horse, she
waded across the field to the near
est farm house where she sought
aid. With the assistance of fou1
men who worked heroically, the
carriage was pulled out, and Rev
and Mrs. Joscelyn returned home
They have recovered from the un.

CAN CURE CONSUMPTION

Or. Flick Tells Jersey Legislators Dis
ease Can Be Wiped Out In IS Years.
Trenton, N. j., March 4.-The house
committee on public health gave a
hearing on the bill to establish a state
home for consumptives. There was a
large array of physicians from all
parts of the state to advocate the bill.
The principal speaker was DR.. Law
renee Flick, president of the Free
Hospital for Consumptives at Phila-
delphia.
DR.. Flick said that consumption
could be cured. There are in the Unit
ed States, he said, from 100000 to
100000 people afflicted with the dis
| ease and the deaths from consump-
ton reached 10000 a year. He ex
pressed the opinion that if s400,0O000C
could be secured the disease could be
entirely wiped out in Is years. He
stated that in Philadelphia since 1884
when the people began to be instruct
ed in the treatment of consumption
the death rate from the disease haC
fallen off SO per cent. In the last few
years the consumption death rate il
London has been reduced so per cent
DR.. Flick explained that the metho
used in the treatment of consumption
to effect a cure was forced feeding
plenty of air and exercise.

THE Dover Index" is radical
Democratic sheet, and has said
many little things about Mr.. Ad-
dicks and the Republican party;
but it has the decency which has
been found lacking in some Of the
so-called Republican anti-Addicks
papers, to render honor where honor
is due. In recent issue the I'm
dex" said
If he has bought the trolley franchise
and gives the people a trolley line
through this county, with reasonable
rates of transportation. he will have
conferred a benefit upon our people. L
Mr.: Addicks does these things, his oP
ponents will be sufficiently charitable
as not to withhold their thanks
Let the trolley rights be purchased anC
the road built by Mr.. Addicks. W.
see no objection to this.
These anti-Addicks folks will
probably prefer riding on their rail
road passes, rather than pay fare OF
a trolley line built by Mr.. Addicks

Farmers Meet at Harrington

The sessions held under the man
agement of the Kent County Far
mers' Institute at the Opera House
in Harrington, last Thursday and
Friday, were pretty we'll attended
by farmers and landowners about
Harrington. The speakers were
all practical men like Mr.. James
Sha1lcross. of Middletown, Del.
who spoke of his experience with
sorghum as a fodder crop; Mr.. Chas.
Barker, of Milford, who spoke Of
Asparagus Culture, and others on
topics of interest to farmers. The
discussions following each of these
addresses, and the questions asked
brought out the most interesting
and valuable information.
The methods of destroying enc
mics to grain, vegetable and frui
crops, are the most valuable infor
nation in direct way that thesl
gatherings impart; but the creates
good would result if farmers coult
be induced to more generally atten'
these meetings. The experience c
others bring out new ideas, an
would soon result in great good t
the entire community.

Peach, Vegetable and Small Fruit
Outlook.

From the Fruitmen's Guide pub
lished in New York, the general
condition of the Southern fruit and
vegetable outlook is outlined. 1t
says:
w. B. Fleck, secretary of the Indiana
Horticultural Society, has perfected
arrangements for a system of report of
fruit conditions in Indiana. The first
report, just received, shows that apples
and pears promise fairly we'll. The
fruit buds are not so strong or numer-
GUS as last season, but are healthy
Peaches are mostly, if not all; killed.
The dry weather aud the abundant
crop of last year left the buds in a
weakened condition and they cOuldnOt
withstand the cold snap of last Deem
Der. A few buds are reported alive
in favored localities in the central and
nOthern parts of the state.
Plums and cherries favor a light
crop if favorable weather condition
prevail. New strawberry beds have
a poor stand and many old beds were
entirely burned out by the drought
All bush fruit plants made but little
growth and are in a weakened con
ditiOn, predicting a very light crop o.
berries. Grapes are in fair condition
and promise we'll Altogether the
conditions seem 80 faySs COED pTieei
