The negro gave his name as Sing
Afford but is supposed to be
Richard Dunn.
A circular was sent the
authorities here last Fall by the
authorities at Erie stating the
description of Richard Dunn in
detail and gave the reason of
his being wanted there as that
of burglary and larceny together
with Jail delivery. 1t was claim
ed that S everal of the prisoners
who escaped by the breaking out
of Dunn were wanted for murder
and other serious crimes.
The Sheriff at Erie wired Mr..
Moon to know if the prisoner
would return without requisi-
ton papers. The question was
asked the prisoner and he replied
that he would if the authorities
could identify him. The answer
was wired the Sheriff at Erie and
he replied that he would come for
him. At this writing he has not
arrived.

Wednesday afternoon. He i'm

CAPT. WHITES
82ND BIRTHDAY

ming there began gathering at the
home of w. r White Jr., quite a
number of relatives, but close
and still futher distant, as we'll as
a number of friends. The occa-
sion Of this gathering being the
82nd birthday Of the venerable
and much loved citizen, Capt.
William r. White. We might
mention that he is familiarly call
ed by his close friends. they
themselves nearing his own age,
Dick White.
Umbrellas are commonly used
for protection. Some for the hot
rays of the sun; some for the
downpour of rain; still again We
have seen them used against a
cold biting wind blowing from
the East. We speak of those
growing old as, the SHOWS of
seventyresting upontheirheads. y
The umbrella is also used against
snow. Then too comes old age
in all it's fear of failing to do the
world the good it should do, and
yet. hardly physically able to
perform that which it could have
and did do in younger years.
What could be more appropriate
than the following:
AS Capt. White stood wonder
ing at the love being bestowed
upon him by his kith and kin,
two beautiful little lassies pulled
a ribbon each; result: akin to a
snow cloud in it's volume and
Whiteness, came shower Of
notes. The notes were from
friends as we'll as the great num-
Der of kin of the Captain express
ing congratulations on this his
82nd birthday. Should one not
feel protection from such mani
festation of love? No East wind
that blow no one good' blow
against him.
Amid congratulations and
much jovialty refreshments were
tastefully served and heartily en-
joyed by the guest.
1t will be remembered by the
"Old Timers" in this county as
well as a large portion of the
State that Capt. White held the
first office of County and Circuit
Clerk following the close of the
Civil War, outside of Carpet Bag
Rule.
Following the position of Clerk,
he was appointed Postmaster and
held this place not only with
brain, but with a heart for the
fulfillment of every legitimate
wish of his friends and the gen.
eral public.
The Mercantile business was
next his attraction. Here as
elsewhere business instinct was
displayed and greater things
rapidly materlized.
Great things has he done. there
fore no wonder his kith and kin
would thus honor him on his 82nd
birthday.
Keep the rules of God. Honor
thy father and mother that thy
days may be long upon the earth
that the Lord thy God giveth
thee. "
The Picayune joins the thous-
ands of others in wishing him
long life and all the happiness that
he can stand.
At late hour, for a man of
his age, the Captain was allowed
to retire having received many
wishes fer life much longer
than that which he has lived.

it was found that an acre of thrifty

amount found by the Delaware sta

The chief question is not whether
sweet clover Is good when used In this

whether It can be grown on the given
piece Of soil. Possibly the soil may
need lime, ground rock or phosphate
