Mr.. and Mrs. Il. c. Tschudy and Miss Sarah
YOcum the Judges, Give Blue Ribbon TO War
ner Blair aud Lemons tO.UId Maids.


During the parade the judges, Mr..
and Mrs. Harry G. Tschudy and Mrs.
Sarah Yocum, occupied a prominent
position in the window of Clifton &
Raymond's pharmacy at the Four
Corners. They were taking notes
throughout the parade and in coming
to a decision, which is a hard and
thankless task at any event, they
used their best endeavor to give merit
where merit was due. The blue rib
bon on which was printed Country
Fair 1907, and the seal of the Twen-
tieth Century Club Corporation was
awarded to Warner & Blair Of Clayton
for the ingenuity displayed. The
second prize red ribbon was awarded
to the Union Castle No. II, Knights of
the Golden Eagles; the third prize or
white ribbon to the Citizens Hose
Company of Smyrna; the fourth prize
(Orange ribbon) to r. H. Denney of
Denney's Mills; and the fifth prize or
green ribbon to W. w. Hubbard fertil-
izer manufacturer of Chestertown Nd.
George II. Cole local agent.) In the
latter or fifth prize the judges found
it very difficult to decide between
Hubbard's exhibit and Thomas H.
Wilson's EXHIBIT so they awarded the
ribbon to Hubbard and gave Mr..
Wilson honorable mention. Uufor-
tunately Mr.. Townsend Jefferson and
his elephant did not pass the Judges
stand it not being known by Mr.. JEFF
ferson and the boys club just where
the judges would be. Owing to the
riksome task it would be to parade all
the streets, the elephant entered at
| Commerce street and marched dowr
Main street to south and in this way
did not pass the judges. 1t is barely
probably that the ingenuity displayed
by Mr.: Jefferson would have pulled
the blue ribbon had the judges been al
lowed to pass upon it. The clevernes
of Mr.. Jefferson who made the elephan
was complimented on every hand.

.LEIPSI1 WORKED UP OVER
ACTION OF FARMER MORRIS
AMBROSE MORRIS AGED S. A PROMINENT
FARMER DISAPPEARS MYSTERIOUSLY
Did Not Believe in Banks and Usually Carried
Large Sum of Money With Fim-fear fie
Might Become Victim Of Foul Play,

Ambros Morris, So years old, prOmi-
nent farmer and lessee of the Stephen
Slaughter farm between Dover and
Leipsic, near the latter town, has
disappeared, and his daughter, driv
ing hastily about the country, believes
that he has met with foul play. Mr..
Morris is man of temperate habits
and though past the half century mark,
is but slightly marked by the advance
of time. He is a man who took great
interest in the affairs of life and par
ticularly his farming enterprises.
What has brought up the suspicion of
foul play is that when Mr.. Morris left
home on Tuesday, travelling circus
was exhibiting in Dover, and with it
number of confidence men. Putting
little faith in banks, Mr.. Morris
boarded his money and frequently
carried large sums of from S400 to
| $500 on his person. 1t is believed that
he had money on Tuesday. When the
farmer left his wife and daughter,
having dressed hurriedly and decided
to walk into Dover rather than keep a
horse aad carriage there all day, his
wheat was about ready for the harvest :
ers and he said; "There is circus in
Dover, and L believe if l go now I can
get come good men and see Mr.. Stan
ton, a harvester. The family now
fear that Mr.. Morris has suddenly be-
come the victim of temporary mental
alteration and are in hourly fear for
his life and property. That he is trav-
cling about aimlessly is set forth from
the fact that the family and the author.
tiles have traced him and learned that
he has been, respectively, at these
points during the week he has been
absent, and without a word of com mu.
nicatlon to his home, where valuable
farm interests are suffering and hi
family remain in great mental distress

ENGINEERS START SURVEY
FOR MORE CUTS AND JETTY
PRELIMINARY PLANS FOR FURTHER NEEDED
IMPROVEMENTS TO SMYRNA RIVER
Three Proposed Canals Being Measured Which
Will Cut Off Troublesome SbOas-Big
Stone Jetty to Relieve Saudbar

George w. Z. Miller, assistant engl-
neer under Major FlagIer, the United
States Government Engineer for this
District, with force of surveyors
started Monday to make survey Of
the several proposed canals and a ietty
at the mouth of Smyrna River, which
was authorized by an act of Congress.
This plan of making additional cuts
and the breaking up of the sandbar at
the mouth of the creek has been per-
sistently fought for by A. E. Jardine,
secretary and treasurer of the Smyrna
transportation and Manufacturing
Company. At the last session of Con
gress the matter finally gained recOgni-
ton through the efforts of Congress
man Burton in getting a survey pro-
vided for in the River & Harbor Bill.
The surveyors under Assistant Engi-
neer Miller began the survey Monday.
Three surveys are being made. The
first begins at the last cut made two
years ago and will traverse the marsh
cutting off Brickstore Landing. The
second canal will cut off "Cave Land
ing" one of the troublesome places of
navigation, and the third canal will
cut off the troublesome CHERRY Tree
Shoal" These cuts, in addition tC
those already attained will make the
route shorter ard easier and viii
insure better time for Steamer G.
F. Brady and all boats plying il
and out of the creek. In addition tC
the cuts, the surveyors will submi
plans for the building of stone lett!
at the mouth of Smyrna River whicl
in the event of its being built, woul'
do away with the sandbar which fo
years has been a menace to navi
cation. The people of Smyrna an
vicinity are much interested in the
proposed project and are hoping tina
the work of the surveyors is but til
beginning of an improvement whicI
has been long needed to give Smyrn
easy aud up-to-date navigation.

BOOM PROMISED FOR RRHOBOrH.
Pennsylvania Railroad Officials Looked Over
the Place Recently to See What is Needed

pennsylvania kallrOad U1ticialS Looked UVer
the Place Recently to See What is Needed
It is rumored that the Pennsylvania
railroad officials have come to a reali-
zation of the possibilities of Rehoboth
as an ideal summer resort and that ex-
tensiye improvements are about to be
made to the railroad property there.
During the week two officials from the
Office of Superintendent e. F. Brooks
have been at Rehob 9th to look the sit
uation over and to see whether the
clamor of the residents and town COM
missioners of that place for the i'm
provements is justified by the prospects
of financial return. Sometime ago the
company was petitioned to give better
train service to the resort, andI this re-
quest was granted when the company
established special train on Friday,
but it is now thought that if the service
was increased to an even greater ex-
tent Rehoboth would rapidly become
one of the most popular of the Atlantic
coast of summer resorts. It is said
that the railroad officials are much
pleased with the result of their trip
and will probably recommend the i'm
provements asked for.

FREE CONCERTS OFFERED BY BAND.
Would Give one Night Of Each Week on School
house Green If Band stand Were Erected,

Since the attractive events of the
past week an the schoolhouse green,
the suggestion has been made that it
would be nice place for the band to
congregate once a week and give con-
certs. The Citizens Cornet Band has
talked this over and have decided to
give one evening of each week to free
concert provided the people of Smyrna
would assist them in having a band
stand built. With this liberal offer the
matter of building a stand is receiving
serious confederation. In such an
event it may be that the ladies of the
Century Club would take a hand and
arrange to spread tables and sell ice
cream and cake.

cured his man all right and marched
him down IN front of the Union PACING
pharmacy, corner of Railroad street and
the avenue. The walk down the ave
nue. attracted the usual crowd as the
man took both sides of the walk at one
time for his trip. At the drug store the
officer requested the pharmacist to tel
ephone over to the station for him and
tell them to send the wagon as he had
a drunk In the meantime the
drunk was still occupying all of the
walk and making an unsuccessful effort
to tell his captor how 1t happened.
Suddenly without any warning he
straightened himself up and started
away at a lively gait. The surprised
officer of the law was for a moment
struck powerless when he saw how his
wobbly prisoner was putting the dis
lance between them. When he had re-
covered his speech he called to him to
stop and even fired his billie and several
brickbats at the fleeing man. The drunk
lodging the billie and brickbats, paid
no attention to the commands to stop
but kept on his way down the street,
much to the amusement of a crowd
gathered around the Union Pacific sta
ton. When the policeman realized that
his man was really gone he went into
the drug store and countermanded the
call for the wagon, and then went off
on his beat to ponder how it all hap
pened.
