An exchange says that onions will drive
ants away. We believe it. And they'll
drive uncles away, and cousins also. In
fact, absorbed in sufficient quantity
they'll send all your relations scurrying
for the outer air.

From present indications there will be
but few canneries in operation in Kent
county, Md, during the coming season.
Farmers throughout that section declare
that it is impossible for them to raise to-
matoes at profit at S. per ton, and as
the Gamers do not offer anything better,
the trouble rests there. Unless some
agreement can be reached between the
growers and Gamers, 1t is likely that the
tomato crop will be very short one.

The Easter hat this year is to be some |
thing entirely new, and it will have much
to do with creating the type of Easter
girl. For many years past Easter Sum
day has come so early in the season that |
hat of straw and flowers has seemed |
distinctly incongruous. This year the |
Easter hat will be suitable to the season.
1t will be varied hat as to its shape, and |
in its size will strike happy medium.
The brims OF the majority of the new
hats flare in the most astonishing Of ways.
They not only turn up in front and at
the sides, but in the back.
The Weather Man has given the people
of this vicinity all kinds of weather the
past week. Saturday morning it was so
cold that ice formed, while Monday and
Tuesday the thermometer registered in
the eighties. The buds were hardly ad-
vanced enough last week to be hurt by
the frost and ice, but this week the fol-
iage is coming out rapidly and many trees
are in blossom. Monday evening a Sc
we're thunder storm passed over this vicin-
ity with heavy rains. The lightning
flashes were vivid but no harm was done
outside Of putting few phones and elec.
trio light lines out of service.
The lecture OF Rev. Anna Shaw in the
Opera House on Thursday evening, under
the auspices Of the W. c. 7. u, on the
subject The New Man," was one of the
best entertainments that has been given
in this town for many years. Miss Shaw
spoke for over an hour, and gave the
large audience present delightful in
tellectual treat. Her effort Thursday
night proved her to be woman of high
attainnlents, and master of
wit. Her sarcasms were greeted with
ripples of laughter, which were followed
by delightful applause, while her views
of the solution of the sex problem found
in the hearts of all who heard
her. Miss Mary Roberts, of Smyrna,
added much enjoyment to the evenings
program by rendering two very beautiful
vocal solos, and a chorus composed Of
OF the local churches, rendered
several fine selections.
