Of the land on the north side of the road
and extending to the Murderkill River
and is still known as the Molleston farm.
His sister Mary hered that which lay on
the south side Of the road, each parcel
containing more than six hundred acres.
This Henry Noleston was a very promi-
nent man in social and political circles,
he owned slaves and was considered very
wealthy. To most of his slaves he gave
their freedom at his death. One Of the
slaves, Judith Moleston, the writer re-
members Distinctly; she could relate
stories Of the Revolution with zest that
made them interesting in tine extreme ;
they so nearly correspouded with thestir-
ring events OF that period that their ac-
curacy could not well be disputed She
died January, 1917, at the extreme age
ofninety.one, out living her master nearly
thirty years.
Henry Moleston was elected to many
offices of trust and honor and faithfully
discharged the duties Of those offices. In
1899 he was elected a member of the Leg
islature and held the office six years. He
was County Treasurer 1905, State Treas
urer in 1905 Member OF the House Of
Representatives, 1913, State Senator 1915
to 1917 and served as speaker during the
session of 1917 He was elected Cover
nor in October SO and died in December
of that year, before his Inauguration which
would have taken place in January, 1870.
For some years previous to his being
elected Governor, he had been a resident
Of Murderkill Hundred instead Of Mispi-
ion as this Hundred was then called.
Sometime before the beginning of the
eighteenth century the County Of Kent
was divided into Districts called Humid
reds instead Of Township, and to that
portion which we are describing was given
the name of Mispillion after the name OF
the river that forms its southern b0undry.
1t continued TO be known as Misplllion
Hundred until 1888. when it was divided
into two election districts the western
portion retaining the original name and
the Eastern portion taking the name OF
Milford Hundred. So powerful was the
the force of habit that many OF the older
citizens call it MispIlion Neck. lt has
also been dubbed Turkey Neck. Whether
this title has been bestowed on account
OF the many luscious turkeys that are an

County Editor vs. Millionaire.

I'd rather be a country editor and
chase around for news, before I'd be
millionaire with wealth | could not
use. I'd rather be a printer with
patches on my breeches, than be a
master of finance, with all my thots
on riches. I'd rather eat my modest
meal, digest the same with ease, than
to sit down to a royal feast with
stomach ache like John DIS. 10
romp and froic with my kids around
our cheerful hearth, with their
mother for audience to help enjoy
the mirth, is better than to move
about in high society, where dress
and Jewels make life mockery.
'Tis true, the printers cash gets
short and dues come in a hurry, but
the happy fellow does not fret-he
lets the drummer worry. He always
has a conscience clear, a disposition
SUNNY: he knows that life has always
iov beside the chase for money. Foi
the molder of opinion is a happier
man by far, than the man who owns
a place, a yacht and a private car
And when he goes to his reward he
knows that all is well, while the mar
who makes his wealth his god may
seme day go to h-l.-Selected.
