nominated Riley Lake for county com.

en- from the fact that he has again been
drafted by his party for the third

made no nomination. During his sew
en- years service on the board MIR.
Lake ha. been worth much to the county
and though it has been a financial loss
to him he is well repaid in the knowl-
edge that his record has been approved

voter in the Third tid,regardless of the
fact that no other candidates name will
be printed on the official ballot for that

ACCEPTS THE OFFICE

The Rev. Frederick ]. Kinsman, re-
Gently elected by the annual convention
of the Protestant Episcopal Diocese oi
Delaware as a successor to the late Bishop
Leighton Coleman, has notified the Rev.
Frederick M. Kirkus, chairman of the
notification committe G, that he has decided
to accept the high office, and expects to
assume its duties about November ,1st.
In accepting the call to the Bishopric,
Professor Kinsman states that he takes
the steps only after careful consideration,
and states that it will be a pleasure for
him to assume charge of the Diocese of
Delaware, which he believes it to be his
manifest duty to do.
The notification committee will immed-
lately take the matter of his acceptance
up wi th the standing committee of the
Diocese, the committee in turn to notify
all standing committees and Bishops
throughout the United States, as ma
jority of these must concur in the election
before the Bishop-elect can be conse-
Grated.
In his letter of acceptance the Bishop
elect states that he can conclude his pres
ent work in time to assume his duties
here about November 1st, and it is
thought here that it will be possible fol
conservation services to be held during
the month of October, probably at Trinity
Church. As there is no reason to suppose
that any opposition to Mr.. Kinsman will
arise, his conservation and assumption oi
the Office are practically assured facts.

SWEET MEMORIES

Another school year has past, and the
teachers and scholars are enjoying their
vacations.
Can anything be more pleasant in the
busy hum-drum of after years than to
permit your minds to wander pack to the
days of school life ; the sweet memories
and, incidents that will come up, the
smiling faces and pleasant countenances !;
the old school house door that has so
often admitted you, swinging back and
forth on its hinges the very walks speak
ing forth of happy hours while at your
side stands the noble teacher who watched
your every move and was as much in
terested in your success as you were your
self. As these recollections come back
to you whose school lives have been spent
in this community, your eyes will moisten
as you realize those days are now gone
forever. Never again will thpse days re-.
turn. You who for so many months and
years have been like one family and par
ticipated joyously together in the school
room and playground have doubtless
pledged loyalty and faith to the school.
You now step out of school life into life's
school and will be scattered far and wide,
but the memories of your school days will
ever form the brightest link in your chain
of thought.

TowNsEND's NEW INDUSTRY

Samuel W. Horst, of Lebanon, Pa,
and who is the sole owner of several val
liable patents, was in Townsend on We'd
nesday last and wanted to locate factory
there for the manufacture of weather
strips for doors and windows, the article
having been recently patented by Mr..
Horst, the invention being his own as
we'll. The citizens of the town held a
meeting on Wednesday, when the offer to
locate the factory there was thoroughly
discussed. The terms offered by Mr..
Horst were that he would locate the fac
tory there upon condition that the citizens
of the place would purchase 100 shares
of stock at $25 per share, the entire
amount of stock to be $5,0O0.the patentee
to reserve one-half of the stock for him.
SELF Upon these ter ms Mr.. Horst stated
that all the officers of. the proposed COM
pany would be selected from the list of
citizens owning the one-half stock. Mr..
Horst also stated that at the start
he believed the factory would employ
twenty persons, but that it should en-
ploy 100 after getting the business thor
oughly established. At the meeting on
Wednesday night the amount of$l 200 was
raised toward securing the plant for
Townsend. The work of getting stock
holders was continued on Thursday,
Friday and Saturday, and thus far the
amount of stock taken is about 81 800.
The citizens interested in the project are
confident that the balance of the stock
that is necessary to be sold, will go in a
day or so more, thus insuring the in
dustry for Townsend.
