BLAcKBIRD WILL CASE ENDED
Decision of Register of Wills Sus-
tains Will of Vincent o. HilI.-
Smyrna Nieces are Benefited.


Smyrna Nieces are Benefited.
Register of Wills Francis M.
Walker gave a decision Saturday
morning sustaining the will of the
late Vincent o. Hill of Blackbird,
over which there has been a contest
for some months. There had been a
number of hearings in this case and
!, 200 typewriter pages of testi-
mony were taken. Vincent o. Hill,
who for many years conducted a
hotel at Blackbird, died on Novem-
ber 18th, 1910. He left an estate in
Blackbird hundred estimated to be
worth about $4, 900, although it was
thought previous to his death that
he was a much wealthier man.
Under a will dated October 18th,
1910, he bequeathed his entire
estate to Susan E. and Hester ].
Hill, of Smyrna, nieces, which will,
under the registrar decision, is
probated. August j. and Henry
Clay Hendrickson, nephews, and
Mrs. Mary H. Buckmaster, another
niece, filed a caveat against the
above will being probated, and
alleged undue influence and unsound
mind. They also claimed that a
will dated March 10th, 1910,
should have been admitted as the
last will of Vincent o. Hill, and
under which the nephews would
have been the beneficiaries.
Josiah o. Wolcott and Franklin
Brockson represented the caveatOrs
and William T. Lyman and Thomas
Davis the will.

SMYRNA JOINS KENT WHITE

PARTICIPATE IN SUCCESSFUL
TEMPERANCE DAY EXERCISES
Rev. Charles Wesley Burns, D. D., and
U. S. Senator George E. Chamber
lain of Oregon, Main Speakers.


Kent County white ribboners held
their all-day meeting at Camden
Camp Thursday, August 3, with
smaller attendance than was antici-
pated, and yet with success. The
president, Mrs. Imogene Clifton,
presided, and the other officers were
present. Mrs. Kate E. Smithers,
State President of the Woman's
Christian Temperance Union, and
second vice-president of the county
organization had the first place on
the program as leader of the devo-
tional meeting, but as she was
delayed in going to camp, her asso-
ciate in office, Mrs. Emma E. Caulk,
vice-president-at-large of the State
W. C. T. u, and first vice-presi-
dent of the county Union, took her
place and gave an excellent eXposi-
tion of the 91st Psalm. Mrs.
Smithers reached the camp in time
to follow Mrs. Caulk and did so in
a greeting and few remarks con-
cerning the interest of the Woman s
Christian Temperance Union in the
welfare of the young. Owing to
the late hour, the Rev. Mr.. Sunfield
extended fraternal greeting to the
white ribboners, instead of deliver
ing, as was intended, an address.
Mr.. John Cooper, of FELTON,, deliver
ed fine Grafton upon "The Use Ot
Liquor by the Moderate Drinker and
Some of its Consequences, and the
meeting closed with noontide prayer.
The afternoon meeting opened with
Children's Service, conducted by
Miss Edith Baker, of Wyoming, con.
sisting of a flag drill, music anC
recitations. An oration which fol
lowed by James Hughes, Jr. of neal

Miss Helen Jones and Miss Coope

, the special music consisted of
duet by Mrs. R. F.. Lewes and Mis-
Mabel Jones, of Dover, and quar-
tette composed of ladies and gentle
men of Wyoming. The program 0
the Woman's Christian Temperate

by the Rev. Charles Wesley Burns
D. D., of Germantown, upon eth

PEACH CROP WILL BE SHORT
None About Smyrna, While all Over
Peninsula the Cry is Short.

None About Smyrna, While all Over
Peninsula the Cry is Short.
There was once, so the traditions
say, a complacent theory pIevaent
over the Eastern Shore of Maryland
and the three counties of Delaware
that nowhere else on earth could fine
peaches be grown except in the
region lying between the Chesapeake
and Delaware bays. Twenty-Five years
ago not only Baltimore, but Boston,
New York, Philadelphia, and a
score of other Eastern cities were
dependent upon the big Eastern
Shore and Delaware orchards for
their peach supplies. Many of these
orchards contained 10, 900 trees, and
not a few were of 10000 tree di-
mensions OF larger. One famous
Eastern peach orchard of forty
years ago is said to have spread
over 1900 acres. A blight, known
as the yellows, has swept away most
of the big Maryland and Delaware
orchards. This season there will
probably not be carload of peaches
shipped from any station on the
peninsula, unless it be from Wyom'
ing or Ridgely. In Smyrna anC
vicinity there are no peaches wortl
speaking of.

Whom Business is Slack In August
He Ignores His Daily Routine and
"Sleeps Over" Feeling Free
and Happy.

Well" said a man who works for
a living and keeps It up fifty-two
weeks IN the year, my vacations
over. Now I'm ready to dig in again.
Where did you go this year," his
friend asked him.
Where did go?" eseoed the dig
ner. where always go-nowhere. [
never go anywhere. 1 take my vaca-
tion right here, sleeping over.
I'm a man of system, method.
wouldn't call myself a mechanical per
Son. but certainly an systematic,
methodical, and shoald be uncom-
Portable any other way.
For instance get up every morn
ing at twenty minutes past six. That
gives me exactly the time require to
get through everything and get my
breakfast and get to the Office on time
comfortably, and month after month |
keep to that always at the same hour.
but every year there comes a time
when | deliberately get reckless and
sleep over a few mornings, and that's
my vacation.
That time comes in the month OF
August when business is at low ebb;
slack water and nothing doing at all;
when we might Just as well close the
office as far as that roes and when
that time comes | start on my vaca-
ton.
Some morning instead of getting
up at $40 Just lie there till, maybe,
quarter Of T. and then get up and
don't hurry; Just let the schedule, the
whole business, go to blazes and take
Hfe easy and eat my breakfast and
saunter down to the office, taking my
time to get there For a few more
mornings | get up that way or later
and | find nothing happens, and then
for two or three mornings finally
indulge In the wild dissipation of ly-
Ing abed till inlf past o'clock.
And l find this does me a world OF
good. 1t braces me up wonderfully
and makes me smile and laugh It's
change from my regular routine, and
change is what we want. 1t isn't good
for any of us to stick endlessly to the
