eta McCready who died after a linger-
ing illness in the 76 year of ner age.
The deceased was the widow of the

popularity known by a wide circle of
friends. With her death the old Nc

Miss Elizabeth Middletown who has
been an efficient teacher at the Clay
ton Public Schools has rendered her
resignation to. take effect at once.
Miss Middleton was elected last week
to the vacancy in the Smyrna Public
School Faculty made by Miss Anna
Bell Beckett. The TIMES was in error
recently when it stated that the Clay
'StoI School Directors has not elected
teachers for the ensuing year The
Board met quietly about two weeks ago
and reelected every member of the
faculty including Principal H. H.
Murphy. They will now meet again
in the near future to act upon resigna-
tion of Miss Middleton. There is
general regret at losing Miss Middle
ton from Clayton. She has been q
careful and painstaking teacher and
not only won the hearts of the children
but held the high esteem of parents.

railroad are concerned over the ques
tion of when they are to receive orders
to remove to Wilmington. They have
received no official intimation tina
they will be ordered to Wilmington
says the Morning News, but in thu
meantime the Pennsylvania Railroad
Company is preparing offices in Will

the new station building nearing com

the Delaware division and the spac

of the P. B. & W. Railroad; WillIal
n. Barnard, superintendent of I'll
Maryland division, r. L. Holiday, 81
perintendent of the Delaware division
and the force of men under each
them. The idea is to get the operatin
departments close together and thr
make matters easier for all who are il

ent branches. The removing of Il
offices, which will take number
families from town. is not expected
hurt Clayton for already there is ind
cation that number of the houses vi

that it will grow with more united i
