MRS. CATHERINE MERRITT

Wednesday morning at $50 O'Clock,
Mrs. Catherine Merritt passed peacefully
away, aged 92 years. In the death of the
greatly beloved christian lady Middle
town loses its oldest citizen, and many
OF our people true and loving friend. For
73 years she had been devoted member of
the M. E. Church and although unable
to attend the services in later years, her
faith in God never created any doubts.
"Mrs. Catharine Merritt was born Aug
ust 10Th, 1913, in Cecil County, Md, on
the farm where her son, Mr.. George Mer-
ritt, at present resides. She was soundIy
converted to God at the age of 10 and
Joined the Methodist Episcopal Church,
and ever since the hour Of her spiritual
BIRTH she has held firmly on to God, and
exhibited the most sublime faith in her
redeemer, unwavering and without MUIR
muring.
At the age of 45, she lost her husband
and was left with seven children, the
youngest being only seven months old.
Twenty five years ago Mrs. Merritt
moved to Middfetuwn, waere site IHias re-
sided contentedly, happily, in her cozy
home enjoying the delightful companion
ship of her two daughters amid domestic
peace and the elevating influences of pure
and underlined religion-yes, waiting for
the still small voice to call her home
with her windows open toward Jerusa-
lem.'
Mrs. Merritt leaves six children, two
sons and four daughters, and host of
warm friends and relatives to mourn her
death: Mrs. W. J. H. Lingo, of Philadel-
phia; Miss Mary Merritt, Messrs. Samuel
and George Merritt, Miss Emma, and
Mrs. J. c. Stats, of Fairlee, Md. The
funeral took place from her late residence,
Friday Afternoon, at o'clock services be-
ing held at the house; interment in Beth
esda M. E. Cemetery. The following
gentlemen were the pall-bearers: A. G.
Cox, J. G. Parker, M. B. Burris, Louis
Fennimore, G. E. Hukill and E. S Jones. |

THE SPECIAL ELECTION

At the special election in St. Georges
Hundred, on Tuesday, franklin ]. Pen
ington, Democrat, was elected a repre-
sebtative in the Legislature, by major
itk Of 73 over Jacob H. Emerson, Repub
lican, The election was the result of q
tie vote cast at the election in November.
i The Democrats worked hard to get out
their vote and succeeded in having every
party man at the polls while the Republi-
cans showed apathy and were only gotten
out with difficulty. The liquor interests
worked for the election of Pennington and
because they feared the election of EN-
erson would be unmicable to them.
y g. Cha Che FFlees Hood q negro of Wilmington.
was one of the active Democratic workers
in Middletown during the day, just as he
was in Wilmington in November. He
worked among the colored voters, and
was closely watched by Republicans. As
result of some Of Hoods actions he
was arrested on charges of intimidating
voters and of attempting to bribe voters.
He was taken before Magistrate Cox,
where he was represented by ]. Frank
Biggs. Hood waived hearing for the
upper court and was held in 81 900 bail.
The charge of bribery is one that, un-
der the constitution, is tried before the
judges, without the Intervention of a
grand or petit jury.
The Democrats carried two districts
and the Republicans carried two districts.
The Republicans gained the second dis
trict, which went Democratic on Novem-
Der Sth, but their majorities were cut
down by the Democrats in the remaining
