WHEAT HARVESTING A BUSY PASrIME.
Most of the Farmers Have Their Wheat Shocked
But Fear Wet May Cause Much Damage.

CHEswoLD, June 26:-After a season
of rains and muggy weather through
wheat harvest, most of our farmers
have their wheat in the shock. Now
possibly remembering the experience
of last summer they are nervous lest
wet weather will continue and are
almost tumbling over each other to
make the earliest date possible on
which to thresh. The machine men
also are bewildered as they scan the
list of promises they have already
booked and so it is hurry scurry IN the
country at this time. One man near
Cheswold cut his small crop of wheat
on Monday of this week and threshed
it Tuesday. W. Percy Evans, Will
liam Boyd and John Fl. Dyer are the
owners of threshing outfits in this
community, the former having three
and the two last named one each.

FIFTY YEARS OF HAPPY WEDLOCK
Mr. and Mrs WiIIiamP. Legg Celebrate the Oc-
cssiOu With Delightful Evening Company
Presented With Purse Of 500.

Mr.. and Mrs. William p. Legg were
married fifty years on Sunday. The
event was celebrated Monday evening
by the gathering together of friends
and relatives to the number of eighty
or more who extended their good
wishes and congratulations and made
the evening a happy and memorable
one. Fifty years ago June "a, 1856,
Mr.. Legg and Miss Rebecca Bramble,
daughter of the late John Bramble of
near town were united in the holy
bonds of wedlock They have spent
their entire married life in Smyrna,
where Mr. Legg, for many years has
been a well known harness maker. The
passing of a half century OF devoted
and atfectIOnate mpaniOnship was
the subject of much interest to their
relatives and friends and at the gather
ing Monday evening, the occasion was
celebrated IN a manner that they viii
remember as long as they live. When
all had assembled the Rev. DR.. Watt
in very neat speech on behalf Of the
company of friends, in which he dwelt
upon the happy life and virtues of the
bride and groom" presented them d
purse of 800 in gold. This was in ad
dition to the number of private gifts
which had already been gwen. The
aged couple were overwhelmed by the
expressions of good will and sympa-
thy and in responding to DR.. Watt
presentation speech, Mr.. Legg said
words failed him to express his graft
ficatiOn and with q deep set emotion
he began to sing 'Jesus is Good to Me. -
The whole company took up the refrain
and there was hardly dry eye in the
room. Later refreshments were served
and the company disbanded after ex-
tending their best wishes that Mr.. and
Mrs. Legg would live to celebrate
many more wedding anniversaries.
Those present from a distance were.

THREE ACCIDENTS IN ONE
AFTERNOON At CHESWOLD
Harry LOOSE, JR. COMESIN CONTACT WITH
CIRCULAR SAW AND NEARLY LOSES FOOT
Miss Nellie Loose Has Thrilling Experience

Ough Falls Under a Log Wagon.

CHEswoLD, June 26:-Monday after
noon brought us a chapter of accidents

board was sawed in H. r. & O. D.
Loose's planning mill, little Harry
Loose, Jr., hoped up on the table
while the circular saw was yet slowing
down to look out of the window. In
so doing he brought one of his feet in
contact with the saw which cut well
into the projecting bone of the ankle.
DIR. Money, who was called, seeing the
gravity of the case, summoned by
phone DR.. p. S. Downs of Dover, to
assist him. Administering an anes-
thetic they removed shattered pieces
of bone and replaced the other parts
and the little sufferer at last accounts
was doing we'll. Harry is a great fav-
orite with us and there is great sorrow
for him, aud hope for the best in
his case Had the saw been running
full speed it is thought the foot would
have been severed. Another accident
which might have been a serious con
| tiagration, was narrowly averted that af
ternoon. Miss Nellie Loose in using gas

means ignited and the situation was

CYCLONE IN THE VICINITY OF KENrON.
Took Roofs off of Barns, UproOted Peach Or.
chards and Laid Low Wheat Fields.

KENToN, June 26:-This vicinity was
visited by one of the worst storms in
years last Wednesday. A cyclone
swept down on one of our best farming
districts and did considerable damage.
On the farm of David S. Clark, 16 acres
of wheat, which had been shocked were
blown down, and as the wind was fol-
lowed by heavy rain, it was not pos
sible to stack it again until Saturday.
Eight or 10 of his apple trees were also
blown down and part of the roof was
blown from a barn. Levi Everett,
whose farm adjoins Mr. Clark's, lost
100 peach trees, which were blown
down by the wind, and also sustained
other damage. Others in the neigh
borhood had a similar experience.
Where wheat had not been harvested
much of it was beaten down and the
heavy rain drove it into the ground
and the ground has been so wet ever
since that some have not yet been able
to complete their harvest.

the difference between sectarianism

sectarianism into if. His remarks

WHEAT YIELDS PROMISE TO BE LARGE
Edward @. Walls, II Is Said. will Get About
40 Bushels TO The Acre on ROthweIl Farm

Edward @. Walls, Il Is Said, will Get About
40 Bushels to The Acre on ROthweI Farm.
Now that wheat has been mostly cut
and shocked in this vicinity, much
speculation is being made over proba-
BILE yields. Last year yields of thirty
bushels to the acre were considered
phenomenal in Kent County, but this
year Edward Walls, of Smyrna, has
105 acres which he has saved and from
which he expects to get forty bushels
to the acre. Benjamin II. Moore, of
East Dover, and James V. Keith, of
near Dover, also have large, spIendidly
matured wheat fields, and they and
the State College for Colored Students
are anticipating yields reaching near
ly forty bushels to the acre. H. Ridge
ly Harrington, of Dover, owner of the
Cowgirl homestead farm at Cowgill's
Corner, has also a large acreage of
wheat which may yield thirty
bushels.
