FORTUNATE SMYRNA GIRL
WINS CELEBRATED HORSE
MISS FANNIE B. JONES. DAUGHTER OF
CHARLES JONES GETS 1T FOR 50 CENTS.
Celebrated Horse Was Ratified off In Dover
Yesterday and Ticket 1901 Held by Miss
Jones Was Lucky Number That Won.

Miss Fannie B. Jones, daughter of
Charles Jones, of this town, is the
happiest girl in Smyrna at the present
time. AS the result of SOC chance on
celebrated horse ratified off in Dover
yesterday, she was the lucky winner
of "Elderonel'' the fast bay gelding,
by Box Elder, time 2.053, and winner
of the SIS, 1000 race at Columbus, O., in
1908. "Elderone" is handsome ami
NAL, six years old and 16 hands high.
The horse was CHANGED off at a half
dollar per chance. The chance tickets
ware wrapped and enclosed in capsules
and there were 1870 of them in the
box. Two drawings were made by the
judges, aud ticket No. 1901, Miss Fan
ME B. Jones, of Smyrna. won. The
latter in company with her brother
went to Dover last evening for the
horse and she received offers as high
as $3.50 for the thoroughbred, but re-
fused them all. She has her price,
but does not care particularly about
disposing of 1T. The horse is now at
Goldsborough's livery stable. Miss
Jones, the winner of the 5000 trotting
horse, was brought into the contest
just for the fun of the thing and only
took one chance. That she should
have been the winner over horsemen
and turfmen from all parts of the State
and Peninsula, some of whom put as
high as 800 in the chances, is luck
that does not often come to Smyrna.
Miss Jones was so overjoyed when she
received the telephone message she
could hardly believe it to be true. II
appears that the horse had been en-
tered in the recent Mt. Holly cir
cult and won several races. Because
it was learned the horse had a lowe
mark than was represented it wal
ruled out for given number of years
1t was after this that its owner, Mr.
Rhoads, decided to dispose of tn
horse and with the assistance of Di
Kuhns it was decided to rattle it off q
1900 chances at so cents a chance il
Dover. The contest caused consid
cradle enthusiasm and a number @
sportsmen were anxious to possess tn
animal. Practically all the ticket
holders declared they got a 'squar
DEAL" aud there seemed to be no re
greet concerning the /, 1S9 half dollar
which rolled into the box for the fun
of the thing.

At the annual election for trustees to
fill the places of those whose terms had
expired in the Board, held Monday
afternoon, Messrs. Robert ID. Hof-
fecker, Joseph r. Jefferson and John
w. Tucker were reelected for another
term of three years. The fourth and
last Quarterly Conference for Asbury
M. E. Church this year will be held
Friday evening at 7.30 O'Clock. The
Treasurer's Report will then be made
and will show balance on hand after
all the expenses are paid. Next Sun
day morning at $50 o'clock an Old
Fashioned Lovefeast will be held

Elder W. G.. Rooms. The first of next
week Presiding Elder w. G. Rooms,
Rev. Robert Watt, ID. d., and Rev.
Albert Chandler will leave for POGO
moke City to attend the annual session
of Conference which promises to be
interesting. The only probable change
as far as Smyrna is concerned is in the
case of Rev. Albert Chandler who
while unanimously invited to return
to Smyrna Circuit, may be given a
better place if one should open for
him.

Route Selected Through Sussex and Surveyors
Hope to Reach RehOboth Next Week.
Rails, Cars and Trolley Poles Ordered.

Matters are still progressing along
the trolley line and by another week,
it is hoped the survey will be complete
and application made for charter. The
organization is fully made up and
ready to announce as soon as the char
ter is taken out. President Click has
just returned from trip down in Sus-
sex County and his project is meeting
with enthusiasm in all the towns he
visited. Town officials and prominent
citizens are offering everything posi-
BILE to get the trolley in Sussex and
the project is receiving warm and
hearty support. The surveying corps
under the direction of Constructing
Engineer Deegan has completed the
survey of Kent County and are now
working between Milford and Milton.
The course has been selected as fol-
lows: From Milford to road leading
to Red Brick Granary, to Big Oak,
(near Slaughter Beach,. by NAPLES
Mill, via Jefferson's Cross Roads to
Milton. Through Front Street, Mil
ton, to Overlook, via Hollands Mill
and Westhill school house, from Over
brook to Nassau, to Prettyman's Cor
ner, to Murray's Corner, on road lead
ing from Lewes to Rehoboth, turning
to the left into Lewes by King Street;
on King to South to the Beach at trans
portation pier. To Rehoboth from
Lewes, via Midway School-house and
Church through Midway, into Reho-
both by Rehoboth Avenue, to Chris
tian Street, to Delaware Avenue; down
Delaware Avenue to the ocean. From
Milton to Georgetown, via Salisbury
school house on the road leading from
Lewes direct to Georgetown, on the
State Road from Salisbury schoo
house, through Georgetown to Court
House Square; from Georgetown tc
Seaford, via Evans Mill, John G. Shor
and Middleford,
Promoter Click was in New Yorl
City last week and has placed an orde
for 20 miles of rail together with troll
ley poles, some timber &C., for tn
work between Smyrna and Woodlan'
, Beach which will be constructed first
He also placed an order Tor four pas
senger cars, two of them for immediat
} delivery and the balance later on. Ii
, also ordered twelve freight cars. A
first it was thought combination car
would be used, but since making thei
r Delaware project larger one, it ha
been decided to have freight cars ser
: arate and distinct from the passenge
, cars. This can be nicely managed IN
} der the multiple unite system powe
? which will be adopted.

NINE MARYLAND COUNTIES ARE DRY. "
All the Eastern Shore Cousties Except One
Are Enjoying Benefits OF Local Upton.

Maryland has nine counties entirely
under prohibition, viz, Somerset,
Wicomico, Dorcherter, Caroline, Tall
bot, Queen Anne's, Kent, Cecil, Mont
gomery. Four all dry except one spot;
viz, Hartford except Havre de Grace,
Howard, except Ellicott City, Calvert
except Chesapeake Beach, and Anne
Arundle, except Annapolis. Charles
county has the distinction of
being the only county in the State
without prohibition spot. Worces-
ter has two small prohibition spots,
and Baltimore city is perhaps one
fourth dry. 1t will be seen that nine
OF Maryland's 23 counties are entirely
'dry-this includes all the Eastern
Shore except one-four others dry
except town in each, and district in
one, with only one county without
prohibition spot.

BARRATrs CHAPEL MOVED TO SMYRNA.
Brought Here In an Automobile Last Tues
day During Drlyirg Snow Storm.

Old Barratt's Chapel. renowned on
the Peninsula as ''the cradle of Meth
odism," was moved to Smyrna last
Tuesday and now occupies space in
the window OF Smiths Jewelry' store.
Mr.. f. A. Smith transported the old
edifce here on his automobile during
a driving snow storm. The building
was erected by John R. Ryan of near
Frederick, brother-in law of Mr.
Smith and was made from the original
wood taken from the historic chapel
and is 1876 years old. The model is true
to likeness and it has been more or
less admired by those who hold a ven-
Grafton for the old chapel.

SMYRNA AMUSEMENT PLACES GROW

hall-0ther Places Flourlshlng.
Smyrna seems to have become pop
ular in the amusement line recently.
Counting the hotels no less than half
a dozen places are open for pool, bill
lizards and shuttle board. The enthu-
s1asm first started in the room under
Odd Fellows Hall where bowling al
ley and shuttle board was installed.
This became popular and soon there
seemed to be demand for another,
Charles Jones erected two shuttle
boards in the "Wild's Building" on
Main Street and it too, soon became
well patronized resort. During the
past week he has increased the inter-
est of his place by adding a combina-
ton pool and billiard table. This &C.
cupies the second floor which he has
had painted and papered and fitted
out especially for this purpose. He
may add another pool table later An
other room will be fitted up with card
tables and converted into a reading
room. He has given it out that no boys
under IS years of age will be al
lowed in the rooms, and notices to
this effect with rules and regulations
have been posted. Alexander Car
son, who has had a pool and
amusement room in the Cooper Block
has rented the store property of W.
G. Pierce, corner of Main and Mt.
Vernon Streets and will move there
this week. A shuttle board has also
been added to the Hose Room for the
benefit of the members and helps to in
crease the interest in this faithful or
ganization. 1t is also rumored that
another amusement will be opened in
the Cats Building adjoining Boehm-
ler's ST ?.

CRYING DEMAND FOR MORE
SKILLED LABOR IN SMYRNA
INDUSTRIES SUFFER FROM WANT OF HELP
TO TURN OUT INCREASED ORDERS.
Basket Mill Wants 50 Men and Boys, Overall
Factory Needs so Girls, and Shirt Factory
and Hosiery Mill Could Take on More

The crying need in Smyrna at the
present time is help. Our industries
are full up with orders which they are
unable to turn out promptly owing to
all insufficiency of help which does not
seem to be available. Tucker & Thorn
ley's Overall Factories in Smyrna and
Clayton are hard pressed at the pres
ent time to get their orders made up
and in another column they are ad
vertising for operators. They now have
enough work to employ fifty more
girls steadily. At present they have
employed at the Smyrna plant 45 and
the Clayton 12. They can easily take
on 25 more operators at each factory.
Not only will they employ more help,
but they will, if the occasion demands,
build block of houses opposite the
Smyrna factory for the use of families
who wish to find employment with
them. This is encouraging and should
be snapped up by city families who
would like to set to the country, and
for former Smyrnians who would like
to move back.
The Basket Mill is another industry
that needs help With the opening of
the spring season they can give en-
ployment to so more men and boys.
During the past few years, whenever
a new industry was agitated, the query
was often heard, why not get an in
dustry that will employ men. Here is
an industry that started up year ago
that gives promise of being one Of
Smyrna's best manufactures, yet right
here in the start they are hampere6
with the need of labor to turn out
their manufactured product. This
should be another iIducement for fam
lilies to move here. The head of tn,
family and his sons can find employ
ment in the basket mill and the girl
have access to our hosiery mill, shir
factory and overall factory.
