Rev. r. I. Ayers, who lives in Olin-
vile, cultivated an acre of ground in
corn. and judging from the mammoth
stalks, fourteen feet in length, the land
was industriously prepared. The ears
are large and very deep grain. The
crop was damaged by storm about one
fourth in yield. He got about so bushels
of corn and $40 bundles Of fodder. The
peas between the rows made him $500,
with $500 worth of corn and $1,000
worth of fodder, the one acre will pan
out about $4,000. He did about 20 DAYS
work on it, which would pay him $500
per day. Farming does pay.

this month at Nettleton. There
were thirteen preachers present
and all seemed to enjoy the meet,

Farming.

The past winter has been un-
usually suited to farm work and
most farmers in this county have
taken advantage of their oppor,
tunitieS. The weather has general
Nv been clear, cold and dry and
there have been but few days when
the pillow could not run. The past
fall was fine for cotton picking and
the gathering of other crops. All
of these were housed before Christ.
mas, so that there was nothing in
the way of going ahead with the
next crop. There has been more
blowing done up to date than du-
ring any season since the war. In
this vicinity a vast area of old
sedge lands has been broken for
the purpase. we learn, of seeding
it with melilotis. This is the pro-
per use to put the old rocky hills
to and thus to restore them to fer
tility. Every acre of stbis useless
land should be utilized in this
way. ~
Our farmers, almost without ex-
ception, are IN fine fix and high
spirits. They are beginning the
years labors hopefully and cour-
ageously. Moved by the incen-
tive Of renumera tive prices for
their good crops of last year they
are sterling in with the determine
ton to hold to the pillow to the
furrow and to expend every energy
to achieve as great, or greater, sue
cess this year than last. We ten
der to each Of them our congratu-
Iations upon their fine beginning
and our hopes for their complete
success, in every direction, during
1904.

jeff Davis Birthday.

The legisgdture Of u state
has appropriately aud periodically
made June Bird. the anniversary of
the birth Of Jeff Davis, ID legal
holiday and the day for the floral
decoration Of the graves Of Con-
federate Veterans. This will meet
the approval of the entire people
OF the state, Of all whom revere
the memory of the great soldier
ard statesman who illustrated bis
love for the people Of the state by
a long life spent in their service.
jeff Davis was the personiication
of the Confedracy. He was the
embodiment Of the lofty princl-
. pies, and the towering ambitions,
which prompted the people Of his
state to repel unrighteous oppres-
sion. lie led them as courageous
ly and as hopefuliy as mortal man
ever led a people as long as there
remained a hope Of success. When
the C~onfederacy fell he retired
from the field of public action and
manfulIy endured the obloquy and
odium which a bastard foe heaped
upon him, all for the sake of his
people. He suffered for them
vicariously and in doing SO grew
stronger and deeper into their af-
fections. Mr.. Davis was one of
the greatest of the worlds heroes.
1t is fitting that his people should
pe~rpetuate his memory by every
act of love and respect calculated
to engraft these sentiments into
the hearts Of their posterity.

Cotton has been steadily advanc
ing for the past two weeks and
has regained what it lost by the
decline that followed the outbreak
of the war ia The far east. The
manufacturers seem to have con-
cluded that the war will not have
much etfe3; or the demand for
cotton goods. The past receipts
are showing large deficits as com
pared with last year and it is now
evident that he crop Of 1908 will
be considerably less than that of
1902. The price is ranging around
sixteen cents and a few Of our
old hard headed farmers who held
on to their crops are now getting
the benefit OF their faith in better
prices. We believe that good prices
for the great staple have come to
stay and wish we had more Of
these hard headed old fellows who
have faith in themselves and act
upon their own Judgment in sell
ing their crops.

MANY FINE PORKERS FALL

EPIDEMIC SPREADS FROM CHESWCLD To
LEIPSIC AND WHITE HALL NECK
Number OF Prominent Farmers Lose All They
have and as a Consequence Pork in This
Vicinity Will Be Scarce and High.

CHEswoLD, October 17.-Hog chol.
era is making its ravages among the
farmers on the road from Cheswold to
Lelpsic, and indeed we are told. is
reaching much further than Leipsic
over a large portion of White Hall
Neck. Some farmers have lost about
all OF their prospective pork in the
districts named. Among those who
have lost all or a large portion of
their hog stock are Mrs. Mary A.
Bentley, James Denney, William
Harrington, q. w. David. James
Lafferty, Theodore Carrow, John p.
Gar lson aud Others 1t seems to
have had its start at the farm of Mrs
Bentley through the incident of the
death OF pig last year. She aud her
sons then took the precaution TO bnrv
the pig sufficiently deep as thew
thought, but afterward discovered that
dogs had dag it up and scattered parts
OF 1t about the farm. Whether the
epidemic had its start from this inci-
dent or not, Mrs. Bentley and sons re-
gret very much now they did not take
the wiser course and burn it. The
loss to the individual farmer viii lie
keenly felt, while the aggregate loss

like manner, last autumn a farming
district southwest of Cheswold reach
ing far west of Dover, was almost
dIvested of killing pork by this epi-
demlc' consequently pork is expected
to be very scarce in this vicinity this

near Cheswold, known as the Emer-

through Lewis Fl. Anderson, of Ches-
void. 1t is understood Mr.. Carrow's

Because Mr.. Conn's family did not ac-
company him to Delaware he has been
quite anxious to sell this farm, though
having held it only few months, and
return to Canada. 1t is a fruit farm

SWARM OF BEES AT A REVIVAL MEETING
hover Around Head of Pastor Jones and
Stung Several In the Congregation

bLACKBIRD, October 1S.-During an
enthusiastic revival service conducted
at old Union Church near Blackbird.
by Pastor j. W. Jones Sunday night
the congregation had an experience
with wasps that nearly broke up the
meeting. The old church was filed
to the corridors and Pastor Jones was
preaching forceful sermon from ST
Luke 12: 20, 'But God said, thou fool
TINS night thy soul shall be required
OF thee; then those things will those
be which thou hast provided" He
had not progressed very far when he
was interrupted several times bv angry
Wasps that were aroused bv the
warmth and light, and persisted in
dropping from the ceiling to the pul.
pit and among the audience. Three
OF the wasps hoveved, persistentlv
around the head of Pastor Jones,
Ihe latter kept on delivering his SER
mon unaware of the eminent danger
OF being severely stung. His audience
however became very anxious about
MS safety and were relieved when
Pastor Jones discovered them in time
to put them out of business. Among
the audience gallant swans kept vigil
lence over fair maidens, one young
gallant picked a trespassing insect
from his damsel with his bare hand.
Several in the congregation were pain
Iully stung. The next day the Official
Board had the church cleared of the
insects. No more trouble from this
source is anticipated.

TOMAHAwK OF FAMOUS INDIAN CHIEF.
Now iu Possession Of Mr.. ". @. Anthony of
This Town, Who Prizes 1t Very Highly.

Mr.. W. G. Anthony of this town,
has just come into possession of an old
Indian relic which he prizes very
highly. It is a combination Indian
tomahawk and pipe beautifully and
gracefully made and mounted in sill
yer. This relic for many years was
the property of the late DR.. T. J.
Lambdin, who at different times was
offered considerable sum for it but
he priced it so highly that no induce
ment would allow him to part with 1t
while he lived. A few weeks ago Mr.. An
thony purchased it from the estate. 1t is
not known how Mr.. Lambdin came into
possession of it, but it is reputed to be
the same tomahawk and pipe owned
by the celebrated Indian Chief "Black
Hawk" who fgured.so conspicuously
in the War of 1912. 1t is said there
are very few like it in this country and
Mr.. Anthony shows the old relIc to
his friends with considerable pride.
