Judge Holland Left No VIII

Judge Charles +. Holland, who dice
in Philadelphia and who lelt big
estate, died without a will and his
estate will be divided in equal parts
between his three sisters. Judge Hol-
land had made several wills and had a
will shortly before his death in which he
had made distribution of his large
estate, but after his death this will
could not be found. A new will how
ever, which was written few days
before he left for Philadelphia was
found on his desk. but it was unsigned
and unwitnessed and cannot, therefore.
be considered will.
Judge Holland has left an estate
amounting to between $50, 900 and SIS,
900. His estate was for the most part
invested in stocks, sbonds, mortgages
and other substantial investments, many
of which would bring very much more
than par il placed under the hammer.
The Judge was very large holder of
Building and Loan stock in all the
principal towns on the Peninsula and
held quite large sum in mortgages.
Mr.. Samuel r. Douglass will admin
lister on the estate.

Crops Badly Damaged

This section of Maryland is badly in
need of rain, and if none falls in the
next few days what crops are now above
the ground will be greatly damaged and
all the seed that has been planted will
rot before sprouting and taking root.
The corn crop is the most damaged,
and truck of all kinds has suffered
greatly. All berry fields on high ground
are sadly in need of rain and without il
the berries will be small and the crop
short. The season has been very cold,
and all berry and vegetable crops are
late, and prices will, it is expected. be
low because of the Peninsula farmers
having to compete with Northern truck
ers in the markets at the same time.
The present dry spell is having its bad
effect on all crops in the counties OF
Virginia, Worcester. Somerset and the
lower section of Delaware, especially
the early potato crop of the Eastern
Shore of Virginia. IL is plainly notice
able now to the fruit growers of this
section that the recent frosts had their
effect on peaches, apples and other
fruits. Upon examination it is found
that the blossoms were nipped before
maturity and the estimate is that the
crop of fruits will he only about one
third,

How Times Have Changed.

A remarkable development in Snow
Hill, is reported by the Bell Tele-
phone Company. Within the past four
months sixteen exchange contracts have
been secured as follows:
Thomas P. Selby. John c. Short,
Thomas c. Dunlap, William G. kerbin,
w. II. Clayville, Bradford e. Hancock
Charles F. Truitt. VIM. l.. Purnell.
Herbert w. Mason, VIM. H. Petit.
+. Z. Dryden, c. l.. johnson,
Sewell T. Riley, G. b. Jones,
w. A. McAllen, w. ID. Straughn.
In addition to the above the Bell Tele-
phone Company has also secured con-
tracts from twenty-seven very promi-
nent farmers surrounding Snow Hill.
This will undoubtedly aid in establish
ing stronger commercial relations be-
tween our town and its neighbors, and
will strengthen the social relations
already existing.
Mr.. H. w. Carly, Local Agent of the
Telephone Company, states that there
are approximately two hundred subscrib-
ers connecting with the Snow Hill Ex-
change. 1t is believed that this number
will be greatly increased during the next
few months.
