POSTOFFICE BUILDING WILL
Be SECURED FOR SMYRNA
so SAYS SENATOR J. FRANK A.LEE IN A
LETTER TO POSTMASTER JEFFERSON.
Will be Able to Secure Appropriation at Next
Session of Congress Had to Give Way
TO Milford Which Showed More Business.

Postmaster Jefferson has received a
letter from Senator j. Frank Alice
regarding the proposed Federal Build
ing for Smyrna in which he says that
''in the next appropriation bill for
public buildings and grounos, will
undoubtedly be able to secure an
appropriation for Smyrna" This is
most encouraging and there is every rea-
son to believe that at the short session
of Congress next winter provision will
be made for Smyrna, the same that
has been done for Milford. In his
letter to Postmaster Jefferson, Senator
Alice says: "Hhe Senate Committee
on Public Buildings and Grounds
decided, that on account of the amount
of business done in the town of Mil.
ford over that of the town of SMYRNA,
that we had better have the first ap-
preparation for postoffice building al
Milford, and secured $50, 900 for that
purpose. | also had $4,000 plac ed il
the bill for site for Smyrna but could
not keep them both in, and therefore
allowed them to strike out the small
one. In the next appropriation fol
public buildings and grounds, | will
undoubtedly be able to secure an ap
preparation for Smyrna This would
indicate that Smyrna is next in line
and if Senator Alice gets what he will
undoubtedly be able to secure, III
another years time the work of con
struction on beautiful building ma,
be begun in Smyrna. The matter OF
a site will now rest until the full ap
preparation is secured PostmastG
Jefferson who has all along been an
xious to have the postoffice changed
to better quarters, is delighted owe
the prospect and will await the Cul
mination of Senator Allee's efforts fol
Smyrna which he has so earnestly
sought for during his term of office.

BASE BALL A FAVORITE PASTIME.
League Team Loses Three Games with FeItos
While "The Ravens" Win Everything
Coming Their Way-Married Men Play.

Baseball seems to be the prevailing
pastime with the Smyrna folks now,
especially the young. Interest in the
League in which Smyrna is recently
reported as having entered, does not
seem to be of the right enthusiasm
to make it a success and whether
it is to be permanent thing is not
known. There are two elements uec-
essary in the organization of the Lea
que team: the financial support of the
community and the selection of PLAYERS
that will win the confidence of the pub
lie. UDless there is improvement in
these particulars, Smyrna cannot hope
to put forth strong and vigorous
team. The first League games which
were played at FELTON, on the Fourth
resulted in defeat for Smyrna, the
first game 8 to and the second game
4to 3. The line up of the Smyrna
team was given as follows: Lassell Sd,
Stradley Id, Muffley 2b, Hargrove IS,
Kirby c, Wells p, Reynolds rf, Sevil
CT, Linderman, If. Being the first
time the Smyrna players had all
played together, defeat was not unex-
pected. Last Saturday the Smyrna
team again went to FELTON, and fell
down in another defeat to 0. Do
yer this year is represented by one
of the fastest clubs in the history of
the town. On Saturday in the longest
extra inning game ever played in the
state Dover after nineteen innings de-
feated the strong Chester Club 1 to O..
Yerkes, Dover's twirler, pitched mag
niticent ball and only gave one pass
during the contest.
"The Ravens" Smyrnas juvenile
team is a winning nine and still keep
up their streak of victories despite all
efforts to the contrary. Last Wednes-
day they took two games from Middle
town, one 10 to 0 and the other II to /.
Saturday afternoon in order to furnish
a little amusement, they played a
'pick mp" nine of married men on the
Smyrna grounds. This drew large
crowd of people. The "Ravens" had
it easy, just little practice game in
which they won 26 to 6. They loaned
John Still, one of their number to
catch for the married m en-" Besides
Still the latter team was composed of
w. Charles Warren of New York City,
pitcher; George Barnes of Philadel-
phia, first base; Thomas Start of New
York, shortstop; Harvey Jones sec.
ond base; Vernon Phillips, third base;
Harvey W. FAIRIES, left field; John
Patterson, center field; and Stewart
Wilds, right field.

TABLET UNVEILED AT MIDDLETOwN.
DR.. R. A. COmegys of This Town Figures In a
Ceremony 10 Memory of His Grandfather.

An interesting service was held at For
est Presbyterian Church Middletown
Sunday morning when, in the presence
of large congregation, a tablet was un-
veiled to the memory of Robert A.
Cochran and wife, grandparents of
DIR. r. A. COmegys of Smyrna, and
the handsome clock recently erected
in the church was formally presented
to the church The clock and tablet
were the gift of Mrs. f. E. Comegys, a
daughter Of Mr.. and Mrs. Cochran.
Promptly on the stroke of II Sunday
morning the tablet was unveiled by
the two sons of Mrs. Comegys-Dr. R. A.
Comegys, Jr., and Mr.. Joseph Com
eggs. Rev. F. H. Moore, pastor of
the church, made an excellent address
and the subject was unusually inter
esting. The tablet is of bronze and
bears the names of Mr.. and Mrs.
Cochran and the dates of their birth
and death. The clock in the tower is
massive time piece with four dials
and strikes the hours clearly and dis
tinctly and can be heard in all parts of
the town. Mrs. Comegys' gift means
much to the townspeople as we'll as to
the church.

little quarters. The wife and mother
had been away from home since four
O'Clock that morning and did not re-
turn until six o'clock. She had walked
over three miles to the house of a
berry grower and spent the day be-
meath the boiling sun to earn enough

on farm and expects to continue to
do so until winter comes. Agent Stout

any stronger than this one. Medicine
has to be bought and one pair of hands
of self-sacrifcing little woman must
care for and support the family.

ANTHRAX REPORTED AROUND LElPSIC

Anthrax, the most fatal of all farra

which spreads in a night like prairie
fire and leaves the animal dead in the
morning, broke out in the fine herds
of John w. Fennimore, of Leipsic and

Of Agriculture, Secretary Wesley Webb
OF the State Grange. the Delaware Col
lege meteorological laboratory and DR..
j. r. Kuhns, the Dover specialist. sat
up Friday night aud took notice. Two
fine mules fell over and died, but bv
the time the analysis came back from
the Delaware College laboratory, pro
nouncing the disease positively an
thrax, DR.. Kuhns had succeeded in
inOculating the whole herd with virus
and cremating the dead animals. The
cremation has been found to be neces-
sary IN all cases as the disease is so
contagious (even communicating itself
to man and birds and fouls) that even
long after a body is buried, rats and
dogs may dig up bone and start the
spread of the deadly malady all over
again. The inOculation by the latest
modern methods is said to be positive
stamping out of the disease, where the
cremation is promptly resorted to. No
