cuse University, New York, son of
Rev. and Mrs. Albert Chandler of |
this town, who recently won first |
honors in the oratorical contest given |
by the Prohibition Club, has now won
another honor which puts him first |
place in the contest of New York State |
Colleges. On Saturday evening at |

torical Contest held at Clinton, Mr.. |
Chandler was awarded a prize of $25 |
for first honors, which was followed
by the applause of a large audience.
Mr.. r N. Mclean of Hamilton Col

$15. The winning of the New York
State Contest puts him in a position
to contest for honors at the Inter
State Oratorical Contest at Lexington,
Kentucky, this fall. Rev. Albert
Chandler, pastor of Smyrna Circuit,
naturally feels proud of the record his
son is making and there are many
friends in this community who join in
hearty congratulations for the Della
ware boy who has carried off New
York honors.
Mr.. Oscar Fisher and family left
Monday for their new home in Phila-
delphia. They leave with the regret
of their friends who wish them album
dant success in their new field of eff
fort. To many in Smyrna the re-
moval of Mr.. Fisher seems like the tax
ing away of an old land mark. For near
ly 40 years he has been identified with
the town and has conducted a jewelry
store in the same stand during the
whole time. Mr.. Fisher recOunts the
days of his boyhood with much in
terest, for after learning his trade,
much against his wishes, he decided
to leave Germany for America, and
his experiences, which he graphically
describes. shows many enduring hard
ships in the battle of life before he
reached Smyrna SS years ago. Since
he has been in Smyrna he has been
very successful and accumulated
property. His leaving at this time is
, to fulfill promise to his daughters to
, give them the advantages of a home
> in Philadelphia. 1t is Mr.. Fishers
desire to give up the jewelry business,
o which he has followed so long and get
into something else.
