VITAL STATISTICS
DOWN nv SUSSEX

GEORGETOWN. Jan. 9.-Leap year
was a faithful one for the Sussex county
maidens according to the statistics in
the court houuse for the year Of 1908 in
which the number Of marriages over
balance the number Of either deaths or
births. There were just 4O3 marriages
In Sussex county during the past year,
all but 10 OF them being residents OF
the county This is nearly one hundred
more tnan the year previous and is GER
tainly an indication that leap year had
something TO do with IT, Out Of s62
deaths, over one half were from old age,
many Of the deceased being 30 and Sc
years Of age. Typhoid fever played
considerable havoc since September, Il
deaths being recorded from this disease.
But 3l6 births were recorded. although
the court house officials claim that physi-
clans are slow milling their reports and
when all the reports are received the
births will prove much larger. thus show
Ing that race suicide is not on the In
crease IN Sussex county.

Whether II was q mistake or a Joke

a question that is still puzzllng most
Of the passengers. But no matter
about that. 1t certainly was a floral
masterpiece. Full four feet 1t stood
from the ground, in the form of a
cross. Roses white and roses red
composed the body Of the cross, and
dainty white blossoms and green
leaves formed the trimmings In the
center the word peace" was spelled
out in rosebuds.
Everybody in the ear admired the
Offering, and when the boy set il
down on the floor all leaned forward
to examine it more closely. At length
one old gentleman Stood up and read
justed his glasses In order to get a
better look at it.
"That is n mighty pretty posy
you've got there" he said. "Who,
may I ask, is deady'
The boy giggled.
