hours at St. Paul on Wednesday, and
were entertained by friends fer
breakfast and enjoyed basket of
good things prepared by them in
further trip. Mr.. John P. has made
it lively for us. His fun and audible
smiles attract the folks in the car and
they want to get near US. We had
a bit of fun with him because in his
nervousness he tried to mail some
cards, at the depot at Minneapolis in
a fire alarm box. He did not succeed.
Mrs. Hudson has delighted US with
her company, and we have been proud
of our showing among the delegations
so as she is concerned. We would
not have gotten along as well nor
had so good a time if she had not
been there. Mr.. nigman will be a
walking encyclopedia when he gets
home and will delight his many
friends as he tells of his experience,

Co., Has lntrument Recorded.
Probably the largest deed ever re-
corded in central Delaware at least
since the coming into this county of
the Delaware Railroad, says the Del
aware State News, has just been
printed. The deed, beginning from
the customary legal words, This
Indenture," and containing there
after thirteen fcolscap pages of solid
printing, with the type size of page
ten and half inches by $40 ems"
in width, and employing probably
forty thousand words, describe by
consecutive members, the granting of
all the real estate and rights of
way of the Delaware General Electric
Railway Company to James Lord.
Mr.. Lord purchased all the property
at receivers sale at public auction,
recently. The purchaser of the strip
of land which extends through Kent
County for distance of twenty or
thirty miles said when asked con-
cerning the future of the property {:
Il bought the property and it is
mine, only, however, for the purpose
of building al rapid transit railway.

only too sorry it had to be abandoned
by the old companies when the hard
times struck them. The strip of
Delaware is still there, however, and

STREET IMPROVEMENTS
BEING PUSHED RAPIDLY
CONTRACTORS TO BE THROUGH
IN ABOUT THREE WEEKS.
Property Owners Also Alive to Improve
ments-CounciI WiIl Likely Open
Delaware ST., to Hamilton Lane.

The contractors are pushing ahead
rapidly with the street Improvement
in Smyrna and will probably complete
their contract in about three weeks.
Mt. Vernon and Delaware streets
have been macadamized and work is
being pushed on South Street. The
lower end of Main street from Ham
iltOn's Lane to the mill pond is being
filled in with the dirt taken from
the other streets, which will raise
the grade considerably. After this,
work has been done, the street from
the end of the brick paving at Chest
nut street to the mill pond viii be
macadamizedfor width of eighteen
or twenty feet. The raising of the
grace and macadamizing, thus doing
away with great part of the "hill'
below Hamilton's Lane, will be a
great improvement, and if the gut
ters were fixed to correspond. the i'm
provement would be much more pro-
nounced. In keeping with the brick
ing of Main street, the property
owners are relaying all pavements
that are not at grade, and a number
Of cement pavements, already noted,
have been put in, giving Smyrna a

ing last Friday evening heard the re-
port of the Street Committee in regard
to opening Delaware Street to Ham
/ toms Lane, through the lands of Mrs.

street, as before stated, gives a back
outlet to Main street near Lake Como,
for traction engines, ETC., which will
not be allowed to use the new brick
pavement on Main street. The pro-
liability is that the street will be
shortly opened. Secretary Grieves has

chasing street sweeper for the use
