Awful Prospect,

One day recently a clergyman was
performing a marriage ceremony at
the parsonage in the presence of his
little son. The boy listened very at
tentively while his father pronounced
the couple husband and wife, then
going to his mother he said:
Mamma, when a man marries q
woman, must he live with herr"
Eyes, dear" his mother replied.
The boy was thoughtful for a mo-
ment and then said:
Mamma, must papa live with all
the women he has married."

FATALLY BURNED ON HAY WAGON
William G. Rawlns, of Caroline County
Md, Meets Awful Death.

William G. Rawlins, the 19-year-
old son of Horace G. Rawlins, one
of the best-known farmers of the
Bethlehem district, of Caroline
County, Md, met a horrible fate
Christmas afternoon, when he was
burned to death on a load of hay.
Young Rawlins went to a tenant farm
for the hay, which was loaded on
what is known as a rick wagon,
skeleton frame holding several tons.
When about a mile from home neigh
bors noticed his two horses running
wildly in front of a sheet of flame.
The horses made for home, and when
the neighbors went to the Rawlins
home they were met by servants who
told them the young man had been
burned to death. 1t is said that he
was subject to epilepsy and the pre-
sumption is he was smoking when
one of his attacks came and his light
ed pipe set fire to the hay.

Thieves made a raid at Townsend
Sunday night and when it was learn
ed that several places had been en-
tered there was considerable excite
ment. The thieves effected entrances
into the business places by boring
holes around the locks and reaching
the latter in that manner. The first
robbery was discovered at the hara-
ware store of w. H. Reynolds and 1t
WIS found that two shotguns had
been stolen. 1t is believed that other
articles were taken. The robbers
next visited the store of William 6.

frightened away before they coulA
gain an entrance. Holes were ai@
bored in the door there. The next
place entered was the restaurant o.

Question After Debate Was Left to the

District to Proceed as He Thinks

District to Proceed as He Thinks
The Kent County Levy Court yes
erday considered the matter of open
ing up and restoring to use the snow
blocked county roads throughout Kent
county. Farmers have been spend
ing a week in opening roads at their
own expens,, but they have cut
through fields and woods roads, and
many miles of the public roads are,
therefore, obstructed. The split-log,
the drag harrow and roller system
were discussed, with the result that
the plans were finally left to the
respective commissioners to proceed
as they saw fit in their districts. 1t
was shown that many roads in the
county are blocked with snow and
that no effort has beeE made to
plough through. The roads that cut
throuh last week were not rolled
down and the thaw followed by the
cold wave with rigid winds chopped
up the roads as to make county travel
not only uncomfortable but hazardous.
In a number of cases the snow is
over the fences and farmers are only
able to get to town by rse-back or
by "footing it" across fields OF
: neighboring farms. Some few farm
ers have gotten together and dug
, their way out, but a still greater
majority feel it is the couhty's bust
| ness to open the roads and do nothing

Capt. George S. Goldsborough had
an experience on Christmas which he
will not soon forget. He was on a
fur buying trip to Bombay Hook
Island and hiring a team from
Grieves Livery he got as far as ST.
mon Killen's where he put his horse
up for the night and started in the
snow storm to get his boat in which
ne could make the Island. The boat
was at the end of the bank he is
building for Jams R Mott on this
side of the creek. BY the time he
reached the marsh it was late and
! showing furiously and acting on his
better impulses he very wisely de-
cided to forgo the attempt to make
the Island that night or he might
have perished in the b lizard. Going
to William Walsh's he met John
Scott VINO also wanted to go to the
Island. The next morning, after a
night spert at Walsh's, they at
tempted to make their way back to
Simon Killen's but without avail.
The heavy snow prevented their MAX
ing any progress, so they gave it up.
Monday morning they started for the
Island. The snow was over the fence
tops and huge trees were bent and
uprooted by the heavy snow. After
reaching the break in the road and
finding the ice would not bear, they
attempted to walk over the marsh.
Three Feet Snow and l8 Inches Water

were at no end. With three f. ct o.
