DUCKING ALONG
THE SUSQUEHANNA
Many Wilmington SpOrtsmen
Go There in Search of
Water Game

The ducking season at Havre de Grace,
on the susquehanna river opened to-day.
and many Wilmington gunners are there
[ in search OF the game. Havre de Grace
has become renowned for its famous
canvasback duck OF November and SIS
shad Of April. In recent years hundreds
OF strangers have gone to the town to see
haul OF several thousand barrels Of FISH
but the ducking sportsmen. as the seasons
roll on, have lessened TO such an extent
that the opening for the past several sea-
sens might be classed as failures COM
pared with former years. There Is always
a reaction to dun seasons, and the pros-
poets are that to-day the flats will once
more resume the busy times Of past sea-
sons.
The gunners have hired their crews. and
the claim is made that every craft OF
any size has been chartered for the first
weeks cunning. or for the first two days
az least. The first weeks cunning will
consist Of to-day. November 4; Monday.
November. 4. and Wednesday. November
G. The law specifies that cunning from the
Susquehanna flats is permissible-on Mon

/ though land cunning is allowed until

The pow5r boat is now used IN shoot
ing along the river. It takes its position
to the windward of a large flock OF ducks,
and then the swift power boat is shot
like an arrow with the wind placing the
ducks at disadvantage, and as they
circle to the right or left many fall vic
Tins TO the experienced gunner. There is
no law prohibiting the killing OF ducks
from power boats. although 1t seems to
be the general opinion Of all In this neigh
borhood that the Legislature should take
some action.
The blackheads and trash" ducks are
in greater quantities than for years, while
the canvasback and redheads appear to
be scarcer, although the north wind Of
Sunday and Monday seemed to briug more

A Candy Department That is
Different

Our Candy Department, as originally
arranged, proved in the course of very
few weeks to be entirely inadequate TO
the demands made upon it. After several
weeks of confusion and hard work during
alterations we have a Candy Department
that is second TO none in the city, and one
that we are extremely proud of.
Candy from this department represents
freshness, purity and toothsomeness to
perfected degree. 1t is freshly made in \
clean factory every day from pure ingre-
dents.
1t is delicious enough to suit the most
fastidious eater of sweets; it is pure
enough for the baby and cheap enough
for everybody. Buy it, taste it, enjoy it.

RECEIVES OKLAHOMA CALL
Rev. J. J. Hurt Asked to Accept Pastorate
 in Oklahoma City.

Rev. J. J. Hurt, pastor ot the Baptist church of this city, has been called to the pastorate ot one of the leading Baptist churches in Oklahoma City. He has the call under consideration and expects to reach a decision in the matter this week.
 Rev. Hurt was invited to preach at this church several weeks ago, and was there a few days last week when the pastorate was offered him.
 Not only his church, but the en. tire citizenship of Conway would greatly regret Rev. Hurts depart ture, should he accept the Okla homa call. His friends, however, ase indulging in the hope, since he has already refused pastorates of better salaries, that he will de eide to continue in this present position.

BUT FEW BUSINESS CHANGES
Mark the Coming of the New
 Year.
L. Greer Retires From Firm of Deal & Greer-Sam Frauenthal and R. w.
 Robins Form Partnership.

Less than the usual number of business changes occurred in this city with the beginning of the new year. The most important in mer- cantile circles was the retirement of L. Greer from the firm of Deal & Greer, who disposed of his in- terest to B. T. Deal, who will con- tinue the business. MT. Greer has moved with his family to Roswell, New Mexico, hoping that change in climate will benefit the health of his daughter, Miss Lorine. MT. Deal is one of our most solid and conservative business men, and will doubtless enjoy good busi- ness.
 Sam Frauenthal and R. w. Robins have formed a partnership for the practice of law in this city under the firm name of Frauenthal & Robins. MT. Frauenthal dur ing his long practice has built up a splendid business, and has acquired considerable prominence in his profession. Mir. Robins has ten dered to Prosecuting Attorney F. E. Brown his resignation as depu- ty prosecuting attorney of this county, and will devote his entire time to the practice of his profes- sion. The new firm starts out with bright prospects.
 J. M. Murphy, who opened a meat market here several months ago, has formed partnership with Homer Stewart of Fl Paso, who has moved with his family to this city. Mir. Stewart IS we'll known here and the firm will re- ceive good patronage.

HEAVY DOWNPOUR YESTERDAY
Streets of Conway Flooded with
 Water.
Much Damage Done in City, while That in Country Will Undoubtedly
 be Large.

The heaviest flood of rain prob ably that has ever been known in Conway, fell here yesterday. All of the ditches and drains were overtaxed, and the water swept across nearly every street in the city. For several hours yesterday afternoon it was impossible to cross the railroad from one side of town to the other without going through water from four to twelve inches deep.
 Jones & Rottons livery stable was flooded and it was necessary to remove the stock to a wagon yard.
 The rain began Tuesday and a steady downpour continued until noon yesterday, when it began to fall in torrents.
 The damage to the streets and bridges of the city will be consid- erable. No reports have been re- ceived from the country at this writing, but much damage to fences and bridges has undoubted- ly been done.

LARGER THAN MORRILTON
Conway's Cotton Receipts Ahead of that
 of Neighbor City.

For the first time in the history of the two cities, the cotton receipts of Conway exceed that of Morri..- ton. A report sent out last week from Morrilton stated that about IA ,ooo bales of cotton had been bought at that place during the present season. At that time Con- ways receipts exceeded 10000, putting us about 2ooo bales ahead of our neighbor city. Morrilton has a much larger area of river land from which to obtain cotton than Conway, and her receipts have always exceeded those of Conway until this year.
 The extra large receipts at this city are due to the good prices paid by our buyers, which have attract ed cotton from a larger territory around Conway than ever before.

TO DISCUSS WATERWORKS.
Subject for Debate at Franklin Literary
 Society Open Session.

At the annual open session of the Franklin Literary society, to be held at their hall in Hendrix College Saturday evening, January 1o, the subject for discussion will be waterworks. The subject of the debate is stated as follows: Resolved, that the municipality of Conway should own and oper- ate a system of waterworks." The need of waterworks is admitted and the debate will hinge upon the question of municipal ownership.
 The young men who will take part in the discussion are making a close study of the subject, and, as the question is one in which the people of Conway are deeply interested, large audience will doubtless be present at the open session.
