son Esq.,, for the defendent it appeared
that George w. Truitt, husband Of the
/ defendent leased the farm from Miss
Davis for five years from Jan. lst, 1908.
Truitt is now dead. Miss Davis says
I that the lease when signed had no seal
on it, in which case it would have been
valid foI one year only. Squire Parks, Of
Seaford, Constable COlbourn, John Ner-
| ins all testified that the seals were there
/ before the instrument was executed, and
Truitt and two sons, swOre that the
seals were on the lease when her husband
and father brought the paper home on
the day it was executed. The whole
case hinged on whether the seals were
on the lease before it was signed, or
we're placed there after. B. NJ. Collins,
| J. /. Black and ]. G. Lank, were referees
on the case, and after nearly three hours
of delibelatiOn, failed to agree on YER
dick, and were discharged.
We noticed on Saturday morning, that
some business place had turned loose a
lot Of waste paper on the street, which
was blowing hither and yon. This prac
tice should be abandoned, as it is great
bugaboo to horses easily scared.
The dwelling house in Mort Milton the
property of the late William Robinson,
deceased, was sold at public sale on Sat
urday and bought by his son; for five
dollars The house is old, and built in
three section; it is, also, on ground rent.
It will have to moved, and, it is supposed
that in moving it will fall down. Hence
the low price for which it was sold.
George Krebs engaged in the chicken
industry, at the corner of Mulberry and
Magnolia streets, near the lake; is having
remarkable success, thus far. He and
his wife, who only commenced the busi- |
ness a short time ago, now have 175
chickens in various stages Of youth, and |
some of them half grown, and large |
enough for market. Mrs. Krebs has !
seventy-fve young leghorns, about two
weeks old, all of one color, and size. |
These are very pretty; and are kept In
a room under her especial care. These !
chickens are all hatched in incubatOrs,
and require great attention, not only dur
ing the process OF incubation, but after
the Young are hatched; as it is required
to carry them through certain stage of
termal heat before they are able to stand
the natural air. Mr.. and Mrs. Krebs ap-
pear to understand the work, and are
devoting their time and energy to it.
Such persons deserve success, and we
hope they may have it in this case.
On Sunday there was an extraordinary
tide in the Broadkilu; the water being
