Smyrna times., 1904-07-06

SOAAO oA AnCIuu6u among
New York's most prominent business
and professional men. Among them
we note the following:
Harry NJ. Blades spent his boyhood
days in Smyrna and the memory of
those days holds him in a close en-
brace. In early youth he moved to
Philadelphia, secured a position in a
well known business house. He
climbed the ladder of success rapidly.
and is now occupying a very respon.
sible position in one of the largest
business houses in New York. He
has beautiful home in Brooklyn and
little Blades" Of Joy and laughter are
filling his garden home.
Splendid Success of the CahOor Boys.
Early in life Medford H. Cahoon
moved to Dover where he spent his
boyhood. In early youth he took
Horace Greeley's advice and went
west. A few years ago he came to
New York and joined his brother f.
u. Cahoon, in the management of one
of the largest drug stores in the coun-
try. "Med" is a very popular mem
Der of the Delaware Society and is one
OF the best after dinner speakers in
the organization. Edward Il. CahoOn
is one OF the most successful "Blue
Hens Chickens" in New York. He
spent his early bOyhood in Dover. In
early youth he came to New York and
entered the business house of the
largest and best known druggist in
the city. He is now manager and
owns controlling interest in the
business. ED" is one of the founders
of the Delaware Society. He has
been faithful through rain and sun
shine, has never lifted his hand from
the plough nor turned back. and the
society's success is due to him and
few other Delaware boys, who have
never hesitated to give time and
means to keep the ship ahoat. He
has held the most prominent offices
in the society, and is never absent at
any of the banquets as his appearance
gives evidence. He is one of the Board
of Trustees of the largest congregational
churches in Brooklyn. Mr.. Cahoon
selected one of Delaware's fair daugh-
ters for his companion through life,
and their home in Brooklyn it is a
pleasure to visit, too, where genuine
Deloware hospitality is seen at its best.
J. H. CahoOn is promising young
physician. Mr.. Cahoon graduated at
the University of Maryland and
Hahnemann University of New York.
He is building up a large practice in
this city. Mr. Cahoon is a faithful
son of Delaware and never tires of
talking about his native State and
home.
George Carter on the Staff OF the Press.
George Carter is one of the many
TINES Blue Hens Chicks" Mr.. Car
ter was the greatest hustling printers
devil that this incubator of printers
ever hatched. He kept everybody in
the Office from the editor to the ex-
devil on the jump. One day he tried
to take an impression of a 6x9 inch
circular on his hand instead of the
paper provided. 1t was not a success.
Every one in the Office became ex-
cited and lost their heads. George
coolly walked to the doctors office
and gave him ''points" on patching up
the injured member. After leaving
Smyrna, Mr.. Carter was connected
with the Wilmington EUening Journal.
He is now on the staff of the New
York Press, and is one of the ablest
writer's on that journal. Mr.. Carter
married one of Delaware's daughters
and lives at Flushing, one of New
York's many places of residence.
Fletcher Cooper City Editor OF the World.
Fletcher Cooper began his newspaper
career on the Wilmington Morning
Ne1OS as correspondent from Smyrna.
~NN Sh0O was q JOuh5 GOhAO-
cratic editor from the North publishing
a paper in Smyrna. Fletcher made it
very warm for this young champion of
Democracy, and they had several ex
citing duels with the pen. After ieav-
ing Smyrna Mr.. Cooper joined the staff
OF the Morning NetOs. From Will
mington he went to Washington, and
from Washington to the Brooklyn
Eagle. He is now one of the most
promising members of the New York
Wortd staff. In early youth he and a
chum started on foot to see the Cen
tennial Exhibition, then being held in
Philadelphia. They got as far as
Blackbird, and spent the night in a
tavern, while several fox hounds stood
guard during the midnight watch. All
