SHORT HISTORY OF DEAKYNEVILLE.
Prize Essay Won by Warner A. CHM 10 a
Competitive Contest at the DeakynevilIe
Public Schools During the Past Week.

Warner A. CHM, the 14-yearold son
of Mr.. Walter CHM, of Thoroughfare |
Neck, took off first honors at the
Deakyneville public school recently in
a competitive essay contest for the
best written article on "The History
of Deakyneville. Miss Efie M.
White, the teacher, gave out the sub
ject some time ago and promised that
the best essay would be sent to the
SMYRNA TIMES for publication. War
ner A. CHM, the winner, said as fol-
lows: "DeakYneville is a section of
country located upon a fiat, marshy
plain which extends for several miles
along the Smyrna river, and is beau
tifully situated on the western shore
of the Delaware Bay, on which can be
seen great steamers as they pass
through this busy waterway to or
from the mighty ocean. The whole
region of country around is progress
sive and -to-date, producing fine
grain and fruit. Fleming's Wharf, which
was once landing for only small sail
boats, is now a scene of great activity,
especially in fruit season, when two
boats are kept constantly at work.
About thirty years ago the building of
a drawbridge across the river brought
the two counties into communication
and gave greater enterprise to the
place. After the present large ware
house was built the old one was pur
chased by a company and converted
into a canning factory, which gives
employment to a large number O
people. One of the most notable spot
in the history of Methodism is Friend

Stars and Stripes Council Jr. o. U. A. NJ. and

Yesterday an Interesting Occasion.

Decoration Day passed off yesterday
with more than usual interest and en-
thusiasm. The Banks and Schools
were the only institutions that closed
for the day and while the stores were
open and doing business many of the
merchants did not fail to display the
American flag or some patriotic en-
blem. It being a typical summer day
the flowers we're used in abundance
and early in the morning there was
trend toward our different cemeteries,
where these beautiful floral tokens
were used to mark the graves of not
only veterans of war but the graves of
relatives and friends of dear and pre-
cious memory. This beautiful and
sweet custom of remembering the dead
was the one underlying thought of the
whole day and it seemed to have been
more universally observed than ever.
The Grand Army Post of this town,
departed slightly from their usual Gus
tom and Joined with the Junior Order
of United American Mechanics in
holding services at the graves. Both
organizations made up the procession
which formed at Odd Fellows Hall
about ten o'clock. The Army Veterans
were under the command of Commander

Boys Playing With Matches Set Fire to Barn
and Was HxtIugulshed With Difficulty.

Two boys, four and six years of age
came near causing a conhagration on
the Benson farm near Massey's last
Monday. While the hands were at
dinner these boys slipped upstairs,
procured some matches, went out to
the barn and there set fire to some
straw. Fortunately the fire was dis
covered early and by strenuous efforts
the blaze was stopped before much
damage was done. A long shed was
destroyed and but for shift of wind
the barn and other buildings would
have been destroyed. One of the lads
seeing the headway being gained by
the fire ran in and notified bis parents.

Growers Seud Out 50, 900 Quarts 10 One Day 10
Greatest Rush Witnessed In Seven Years.

CHEswoLD, May 29:-A great onrush
of strawberries as has not been known
for seven years, literally captured the
town today and all other things
bowed to their sway. More than $4,000
quarts went out by rail as a result of
one days work. Prices ranged close
to four cents per quart and indeed
buyers about noon skulked away from
the mass of teams coming in and
many growers shipped their fruit in
the face of prospective loss. Pickers
will reap a share of the harvest how
ever. Business is brisk on all sides
and everything is showing renewed
life and energy from the crop.
