Amos Hibbs Passes Aaway

After lingering in n feeble state for
many months, Amos Hibbs, an old SOL
dier and pioneer resident of the coun-
ty, passed away Mt his home, six miles
'outheast of Beaver, early Monday
morning, November 7th, 1910. Death
was due to a complication of diseases.
Funeral services were conducted ur-
der the auspices of the G.. A. r. Post
and interment made in the Beaver
cemetery Tuesday morning at 10
O'Clock.
Mr.. Hibbs located in this section in
the early days, and together with his
faithful wife, endured the hardships of
the pioneer days. They were we'll ac-
quainted with the privations of the
early settlers, but braved the storms
OF adversely and reared their children
to become useful and honorable men
and women. In their declining days
they were able to enjoy more of the
pleasures OF life; and death called
them from comfortable home and
pleasant surroundings.
The good wife preceded him to the
Better Land about two years ago.
Others left to mourn his loss are sons
and daughters, brothers and other rel
atives, beside host of old-time friends
and neighbors, to all of whom the
HERALD extends sympathy.

% Grandma" Smith Passes
Away.

A deep sorrow was cast over our lit
tie city again this week, with the pass
ing away of "Grandma" Ruth Smith,
one of our most highly respected and
best beloved pioneer mothers, who
died at her home Wednesday morning,
November 9th, 1910, after an illness of
many weeks duration, and gradual
decline for years past. Death was di-
rectly due to heart trouble and other
complications attendant to old age
The deceased was in her seventy
third year.
Funeral services were conducted at
the Methodist church to-day at 2 90
o'clock p. m, by Rev. A. NJ Gibbons,
and interment made at the Beave r
cemetery,
In the death OF Grandma Smith, our
community has lost good woman,
one whose influence was felt in her
home, and although she has not been
able to get around much for years, YET
she enjoyed a wide circle of warm
friends, all of whom grieve with the
sorrowing relatives in their sad loss.
After long, busy and useful life,
she died as she had lived-honored
and loved by all. What fitting cli-
max to life well spent and conso-
lation to the son and daughters, nov
o'ershadowed by gloom. that they may
look through the mists and realiz,
that their loved one is now free from
trouble and pain, and has gone on to
receive the reward of oeautifu
Christian life. While the grave hdes
from our sight all that is mortal of
true and noble woman, Heavens door
is ajar, and through it shines the ligh
of everlasting hope for those who are
left to meet the trials of life without
Mothers comfort and counsel.
THE HERALD speaks for the entir,
community in extending sincere SYM
pathy to the family. We all knew
Mother Smith to love her, and their
grief is shared by all

PACKERS PREPARING
FOR TOMATO SEASON

DENTON. Md, Feb. Interpretations
for the packing season in the counties
of the Central Eastern Shore are being
made for the season OF 1910. has the
signing of contracts by farmers has be-
gun. These contracts bind the farmer
to grow a specific number of acres of
tomatoes to be delivered at the canning
house of the packer with whom he de-
cides to do business. and not to grow
tomatoes for any other person or per-
osns. BY this means the packers are
assured Of the product Of a certain
acreage, and protected from market
rises.
Last year IS a ton was paid by the
Caroline packers, but as the canned
goods have moved slowly and at low
prices. the price TO be paid this year
for tomatoes has ben reduced by many
packers to 81 ton. It is reported
that the Queen Anne's packers viii pay
IS a ton, and at Cambridge some con-
tracts are being signed at 80, which is
regarded by farmers as a most excel
lent price.
A few years ago s. and SC a ton was
frequently as much as the Gamers
would pay, but difficulties arose
through growers breaking contracts.

DEMAND FOR SMALL BARNS.

II THROUGHOUT the South Atlantic states
4 are many tracts of land ranging from 100
TO 1000 acres, which are offered for sale at
reasonable rates The census figures show p
surprising quantity of uncultivated and unoccu-
pied land on this peninsula. And there is
plenty OF cultivated which can be secured at low
prices. But somehow or other there is no rush
of settlers to take up these lands there should
be- Perhaps the reason is that the tracts or
farms offered for sale are too large, as the ten
dency in these days because of the labor prob
lem is towards smaller farms.
The Baltimore American suggests that those
who have peninsula land to sell should follow
the example of the syndcates that are inviting
settlement in Southern California, Texas and
the everglades OF Florida. These syndcates
cut up the land into five and ten acre tracts and
the tracts are sold at a high figure. And the
syndcates which are trying to get settlers to
Oregon with displays of fine apples in big cities
temptingly proclaim what can be done on small
farms in the far West by growing apples We
may remark in passing that the same thing
could be done with apple culture right at home.
A fve-acre tract on the Delaware peninsula
would be too small even for single farmer who
had no hired labor, but the Delaware and Mary
land lands for sale could be divided into much
smaller tracts than they are. The prospect OF
securing settlers would be greater This We
think true for the problem of farm labor has
become serious with many a Delaware farmer
and even good farmers who have cultivated
hundreds of acres are often glad to take
smaller place especially as age creeps upon them
and they care no longer for the burdens and
vexations of cultvatng a big farm. And, them
il seems to be a demonstrated fact that small
farming is the most profitable kid of agri-
culture
