Psalm and 10th verse: "I will always
give thanks unto thee for that thou
hast done; and 1 will hope in thy
name for thy saints like it we'll" The

Taken Suddenly Worse on Saturday Nipbt and
Died About Eleven O'clock In the SO Year
of his Age-Sketch of His Career.

The death Saturday night of John
FanGasken removes another one of
Smyrna's old and representative citi-
zens. He had been confined to his
bed for about week and while alter
mating hopes and fears were entertain
ed regarding his condition, his many
relatives and friends were encouraged
with the thought that he would get
over this illness, but Saturday night
he was suddenly taken worse and
never rallied. His life went out after
elghty-two years of remarkable ac-
tlvity and his services to this town
and community will be greatly missed.
John Van Gasken was the son of
the late John Van Gasken and was
born August the first, 1920, near Leip-
sic His father died when he was
eight years old leaving him in the care

RECEIVE SEVERE PENAL TY
SUPERIOR COURT OF KENT COUNTY PAS
SeD SENTENCE ON THEM LAST WEEK.
Powell and Smith we're Ordered to Pay Jere-
miah Teat $3.50 Restitution Money, and
Suffer Six Months Imprisonment.

Suffer Six Months Imprisonment
James A. Powell and Thomas G.
Smith, the two farmers indicted and
convicted of stealing load of checkers
from the poultry houses of Jeremiah
Teat near Hartly were brought up for
sentence at the Kent county court
Wednesday. Their counsel, Frank
H. Davis and Arley B. Magee, had at
tempted to obtain for them a new trial,
bnt, failing in this, they pleaded with
the court for mercy. But few law
yers and not more than a score of
spectators were in the room. Powell
and Smith sat in the dock. Both are
large men, nearing middle age, and
with heavy mOustaches. They seem
ed broken down with the prospect of
the whipping-post and a public fog
ging. Powell was visibly affected
throughout the ordeal. He is a tiler
and ditch contractor. and Smith is his
helper, both living on and managing a
small farm.
Attorneys Ask For the Mercy Of the Court.
The attorneys pointed out to the
court that these men had never offened
the peace and dignity Of the state be-
fore, that Powell was the father of six
children and the support of an aged
father, all of whom might have to
sacrifice their home and go to the poor
house. The court ordered both men
to pay to Jeremiah Teat, $12. so restitu-
ton money, to suffer six months i'm
prisonment, to pay the costs of prose-
cution, and to be whipped with 10
lashes. At the whipping'post in the
Jail yard Saturday large crowd pressed
against the ropes about the arena, but
those who came to see something excit-
ing we're disappointed. Sheriff Melvin
laid on the lash lightly, and not a
sound was uttered by any of the men
under punishment No blood was
drawn by the rawhide. "You will
whip an innocent man." said Powell,
when he was led to the post. He evid-
emily felt the humiliation much more
than the lash. His coat collar was
turned up, his hat was drawn down
over his eyes and held a handkerchief
pressed to his face.
Gamers Flends Appear at the Jail Yard.
A number of cameras we're pointed
at him, and he did all in his power to
avoid having a picture taken of his
face. Before his hands were locked in
the hand irons on the post he pulled
his hat completely over his face, and
then pressed his forehead against the
post, where he held it until the punish
ment was over. Smith did not show
so much desire to avoid the cameras,
but his dragging steps and his bent
head showed how keenly he felt the
degradation.
Sheriff Melvin was very reluctant to
whip these two men, since the punish
ment forever DISTINGUISHES them. He
recently asked the Judges if something
could not be done to save them from
punishment. He was informed that i
he could get number of witnesses tt
testify to their previous good characte
plea FOR mercy would be considered
but the Sheriff found that he was un
able to produce the necessary witnesses

The deceased, while public spirited
man, never sought office, but at the
wishes of his friends he served as a
member of the Smyrna Town Council
for number of years and represented
Duck Greek Hundred in the Legisla-
ture of 1873. He came within twelve
votes IN 1868 of being sheriff of Kent
County. Originally Mr.. Van Gasken
was Whig, but at the close of the
war, he turned over to the Demo
Gratis, in which party he has remained
ever since. In religion he was Meth

mind, his opinion was much sought
after in this community, and he served
as the '1ocal lawyer" for many poor
