TO RAISE SHAFT
 WHERE DEAN FELL
Monument to Arkansas Heroes at Bat tie of Shiloh Will Be Placed Where Their Leader Died Located
 by General Shaver.
Fronn the Gazette.

From the Gazette.
 A monument to the Arkansas soldiers who fell at the battle of Shiloh will be located on tho spot where Lieutenant Colonel Dean of the Seventh Arkansas fell in what was known at the time as "the hornets nest.'
 The Arkansas committee, con- sisting of General K. G. Shaver of Mena, General James Smith. commander of the department ot Arkansas, Mrs. Smith and Mrs. Josie Frazee Cappleman, repre- sen,ing the Daughters of Confed- eracy, who were appointed to To- cate the site of the monument, returned to Little Rock yesterday with thelr mission successfully accomplished.
 Easily Locates the Spot.
 General Shaver, who commando ed brig ade at that bloody en. gagement and whose skirmishers started the fight, had no difficulty in locating the place whero the hottest fighting occurred, al. though he had not visited the battlefield since that memorable conflict in 1862.
 "The battlefield has rot chang ed great deal since 1 was there before," said General Shaver, land although I wasn't paying much attention to the scenery back there in 1862, 1t wasn't much trouble to locate the place where the Arkansas troops did their fercest fighting
 The famous battlefield is now a national park, and General Shaver promised the commandant that he would return this summer and go over the battlefield again. Being one of the few high officers still living who took part in that conflict. General Shaver will be able to supply much valuable in- formation concerning the battle.
 Might Have Won Battle.
 Even after all these years, 1 could not restrain feeling of re- gret, as 1 stood on the battlefield, that Geueral Albert Sidney John son was killed in that battle" said General Shaver.
 l Had it not been for his death, Ithe Confederate troops would have undoubtedly have won a glorious victory instead of the confli,t resulting in drawn bat | tie. On that hrSt day, we were surely but slowly driving the Federal forces into the river. Then General Johnson was killed, and General Beauregard, who succeeded him, called us of. The next day, the Federals were rein forced by 30.O00 fresh troops, aud our opportunity was gone."
 The monument to the Arkansas troops will be erected by the Daughters ofIthe Confederacy of l Arkansas. Funds have already been raised and the shaft will be raised some time this year.
 The committee which visited the battlefield set stake on tho spot where Lieutenant Colonel Dean was killed and covered it with flowers.

CREDIT FOR GOOD WORK.

The following letter was permitted il
the Every Evening in reply to an edi
torisl in that paper which belittled the
republican administration Of affairs in
Sussex County. The letter was written
by Mr.. A. Seydell, of Ce6ar Neck, and
he says to the Every Evening:
cannot stand for the statement that
there is nothing done towards good roads.
am speaking only of my own section,
Cedar Neck. Our Levy Court COmmis-
sioner, Mr. Harry Reed, and his assis-
tants, Mr.. Clendaniel and Mr.. Cook, GER
tainly have done good work here, having
done more work on the roads in this sec.
ton this year than had been done in ten
years altogether. And as to the quality
OF the work, will use the words of Mr.
Hare, the Federal government road ex-
pert, whom Mr.. Grier got to come down
here to instruct and help on a piece Of
road in Kent County. He said to me !;
"There was no need of me coming down
here as they-the Griers, &c. -coul ID have
taken an example by the work OF those
men"
With the materials at hand and under
kDG SAME CDuulltOnb uu ulhu SOulA Au bSt
ter, and under the same circumstances as
find them, the work is done as ecOnOmi
cally as possible. Does a statement OF
this kind from an entirely disinterested
expert show that Mr.. Reed in his capac-
ity as a county official has wasted money?
And this work has been done in sec
ton where Mr.. Reed had the greatest
opposition at his election, both from the
who are in the majority, and
from the Republicans Of this district, who
were opposed to him tor various reasons.
Although l myself voted against Mr..
Reed and worked hard against him, !
must say he has done a lot of good work
n this district. am not writing this be-
,ause his work was of any benefit to me,
Is he has not spent one dollar on the road |
live on, but on account of the benefit to |
ne in having good roads to drive on in /
he pursuit of my business. II all Levy |
JOurt Commissioners had done their duty |
ike Mr. Reed, l think we would have no
lick on our taxes.

THE Methodist ministers will
have to pay their board and lodg-
ing bills, when the next session OF
Conference is held at Wilmington
next March. This is very right and
per, and prothat the plan has not
not been put into effect years ago is
surprising from our point of view.
Ministers receive better salaries
than school teachers, yet the latter
are not entertained free at the an
nual institutes they are compelled
to attend by law. Many a good
housewife has been compelled to
stay at home to cook and prepare
for minister's personal comfort and
miss the pleasure and benefit of at
tendance of the Conference sessions
for this reasOn-because of the Gus
tom of entertaining ministers free
of charge. Too often the home of
many a good women is thrown
open to the conference attendants,
simply because she disliked to re-
fuse the request or pleading of
committee, or being classed as op-
posed to the system. In behalf of
justice to the women and fairness
to all, the passing of free enter
tainment of ministers and laymen
at the meetings of Conferences, is
to be hailed with approval by all
communities. Here in Milford it
has been about over with for years.

AN object lesson in public school
advantages is the new and large
brick school building at Rehoboth
Four years ago two small rooms in
a One-story shack in the pines sup
piled the children eff Rehoboth and
vicinity with school facilities. At
that time there was little interest
in public education and the chill
dren there reflected the conditions.
and they in turn grew into man
and wOmanhOod without ambition
or realization of what good public
schools always do for a community.
But few energetic men and wom-
en- did know, and with the aid of
the Superintendent of Schools, and
the County School Commission,
hammered away at the needs of
better school advantages for their
children, and the handsome four
room brick building with basement
Is the result. But here comes the
real story and point, for after three
years are over the new building is
found to be too small to accommo-
date the children in attendance, |
and another room and the fifth |
teacher has to be added. What is
the cause for this2 Rehoboth has
not increased in size so rapidly as
to account for this wonderful
growth in school population, and
the natural conditions therefore do
not explain the increase. The
facts are, that at Rehoboth the new
schools are equipped with modern,
healthy and attrac tive schoolrooms,
IN which are teachers Of ability, who
are doing fine work In public edu-
cation and these advantages have
been recognized by the people not :
'nly of Rehoboth, but of neigh ..
boring districts, from whence chill ;
iren are attending this modern
yraded school, to such extent that n
he Board of education of Reho. +
10Th find themselves compelled to
id to their building and provide \
mother teacher. Rehoboth is for i
innate in having active, thinking N
len on her Board of Education, 3
rho realize that no community v
an go ahead without good public Z.
;hOols; and who also realize that s.
get returns you must offer in e
ucements in either business or 70
iucational matters. If every COM "
unity in Delaware would follow W
the footsteps of Rehoboth, the W
tate would be a model to pattern W
ter id educational matters a
