BIG CANNERY CLOSES DOWN
Middletown Will Lose an Important Ir-
dustry by Stubbornness of Farmers.

MiddletoWn VIII Lose an important IT.
dustry by Stubbornness of Farmers.
Baker Bros. of Aberdeen, Md,
operators of the corn packing estab-
lishment at Middletown, endeavored
last week to make a final adjustment
of the differences with the so-called
Farmers Club" an organization
that had been formed for the evident
purpose of securing a higher price
for sweet corn this year. Baker Bros,
heretofore, have paid So ton. The
"club" demanded SO a ton. The
packers agreed to compromise on So. so
but the "club" was unwilling to this,
standing out for SO. The result of
this stand is that Baker Bros. plant
will be closed this season. The firm
paid out last year nearly $40, ZOO to
the farmers for sweet corn to say
nothing of the regular payroll of the
plant, which was large.

The reception held Monday evening
April 18th. at Asbury NJ. E. Church
under the auspices of the Ladies
Mite Society in honor of DR.. Watt
and Rev. R. K Stephenson was
unanimously declared one of the moss
enjoyable affairs given there for many
years. The evening was clear, the
air balmy, the attendance large and
representative, from the fathers and
mothers in Israel down to the small
lest tots in the Sunday School. The
lercture room where the reception
was held was beautifully decorated
with blooming and foliage plants. and
as the guests of honor, Dr. and Mrs.
Watt and daughter and Rev. and Mrs.
Stevenson and Miss Agnes Stevenson,
entered and took their places, the
orchestra rendered fine music and

given by J P. Burdette, Principal Of
the High School, welcoming DR..
Watt as our pastor, teacher and leader
and Rev. Mr. Stevenson as citizen
and friend. DIR. Watt and Mr..
/ Stevenson responded in remarks APP
propriate and felicitous and then fol-
/ lowed a general hand shaking with
expressions of hearty good will. The
children evidently thought it was
their privilege to welcome the pastors
and pressed forward eagerly in
groups, their smiling faces speaking
a cordial greeting to the pastor who,
for five years has been their shepherd,
knowing them by name. A fine mus
icai program followed, vocal, piano
and violin solos interspersed with Sc
lections by the orchestra, and the
quiet that pervaded the room proved
how thoroughly this part of the en-
tertainment was enjoyed by our
music loving community. The pro-
gram consisted Of a vocal solo, Miss
Rebecca Watt; violin solo (accompan-
led by Miss Edith Beck, Mr.. Irving
Walls; piano solo, Mrs. Arthur john
son; vocal solo, Townsend jefferson ;
selection by the orchestra; vocal solo,
Mrs Reynolds Stevenson; solo and
chorus, Miss Elizabeth Wilson and
others. There followed an announce
ment by Mr. w. o. Hoffecker that
: refreshments were impending, and
the reception at once became that de-
. lightful function, church sociable
: and cheerful groups all over the room
: discussed cake and ices and exchanged
, stories and jokes until a late hour.
/ The absence of some prominent mem.

was the general verdict that this was
one of the best attended and most

SMYRNA TILEYARD SHUTS DOWN
Industry of Samuel j. Reynolds. Es-
tablished Thirty Years Ago, no More

Industry of Samuel j. Reynolds. Es-
tablished Thirty Years Ago, no More
Owing to the exhaustion of the clay
supply at the well-known' tile yard OF
Samuel ]. Reynolds and his inability
to find another place suitable to his
needs and close to the railroad, the
industry which has been identified
with Smyrna for so many years has
closed down and will operate no
more. Mr.. Reynolds has sold the
tile machinery to W. G. Lorenz of
Kenton who will operate a plant on
his farm. The engines at the plant
near Smyrna Landing are offered for
sale in another column. The closing
down of this old industry is deeply
regretted by both Mr.. Reynolds and
the community. The yard was estab-
lished about forty years ago by Will
liam M. Bell of this town. The yard
passed from him to Cosgriff & Jerman,
and then in succession to Cosgriff &
Cummins; Cosgriff, Beck & Hazel ;
Cosgriff & Beck; Cosgriff & Reynolds
and thence to Samuel J. Reynolds who
has been operating it about four
years. The plant had a capacity of
800, 900 tile a season and paid out in
labor over 81, 900 a season. Mr.. Rey-
nolds made several attempts to get
another yard but could find no clay
soil within close proximity to Smyrna
that would make it profitable to him
to work.

USES SHOT GUN AND THEN
PULLS OUT HIS REVOLVER
SHOOTING AFFRAY NEAR CLAY
ron NEARLY ENDS IN MURDER

Frank Starkey Shoots John Mitchell
on the Daniel Thompson Farm
Mitchell, fastened to Hospital.
Clayton, April Ia. Quite a serious
shooting affray took place among the
colored residents at the tenant house
of Daniel Thompson, near Clayton,
Tuesday morning about 6 o. clock when
Frank Starkey shot John Mitchell
with a single barrel shot gun. The
load took effect in the right knee,
completely SCATTERING it to pieces as
the men stood about 10 feet apart.
When the gun was discharged Starkey
attempted to reload it but was pre-
vented by Mitchell. He then drew a
revolver and pulled the trigger twice,
but the weapon would not fire thus
probably preventing murder.
Mitchells wounds were dressed by
DIR. J S. Cobb and he was hurried to
the Delaware Hospital at Whining
ton in charge of Officer w. NJ. Boyer
Upon their arrival in Wilmington,
two warrants were placed in the hands
of State Detective ellis to be served
on Mitchell as he was wanted for VIC
latiOn of the local option laws. I'M
mediately after the shooting Starkey
gave himself up to Justice of the
Peace, A. H. Skinner of Clayton, who
admitted him to bail in the sum OF
$500 bail being furnished by John w.
! Houston.
