In line with the talked of move [
ment to organize a Smyrna Board of
Trade, it might be we'll for our citi-
zens to witness and take note of
what might be done in this commun-
ity by taking lesson from our little
Eastern shore of Maryland town
Ridgely. The latter has no better
advantages than Smyrna, if as good,
but note wha they are doing. The
Wilmington Evening Journal sums
it up in the following editorial:
1.-The town of Ridgely, in Caroline
county, Md, is enjoying healthy
boom. 1t is located in that part
of the Eastern Shore which has
made great progress during the last
decade. Fortunately settlers came
from other States They bought
land cheap and improved it. Land
has taken great jump in value,
chiefly as the result of their efforts.
1t is said that the country about /
Ridgely is now one of the most
prosperous regions along the Eastern
Shore. Recently Armour and Com
pany decided to locate a preserving |
plant at Ridgely and 600 men,
women and children will be employed |
during the strawberry season, Tke
coming of the Armours has stimu-
lated all lines of trade and industry,
and means the spending of consider.
able money in the community. The
local business men gave five acres of !
land to the company for the erection
Of the plant. Sixty dwellings for
laborers are also to be built. They
are to be modern dwellings. Each
will have living room and kitchen
on the first floor and sleeping quart
ers on the second floor with shower
DdIHSs UHlIe anu COlOTeu pSOple
will live on separate streets with
separate Fairgrounds for children.
Five-year contractsfor berries have
been made with growers at FIVE cents
quart. One hundred acres of black
berries have also been contracted
for. 1t is said that women and
children working as cappers during
the berry season can earn 81. so a day
and that all classes of labor will be
highly paid.
''The Armours intend to make
Ridgely an importnt center of their
operations in preserving fruits and in
extracting fruit juices for the Amer.
lean soda fountain trade. They
think the soil about Ridgely is vel
adapted for fruit. AS we said the
result of this improvement hal
been to advance the price of land
Useless sedge fields of 40 years ag,
have increased to the value of $40 al
acre. Good fruit and truck land nea
the town is now worth from $l25( t.
$3.50 an acre. There is a lesson fo
Delaware towns in the experience o
Ridgely. There has been much de
velopment in Sussex county simila
to that about Ridgely and Ken
county is becoming famous for he
apples. There is no good reason VIII
the entire peninsula, especially
Delaware, should not be like VIII,

ART

The annual art reception was
held at Central College on Sat
urday afternoon from two until
SIX O'Clock.
The studio with its exquisite
and varied display presented a
most attractive appearance. The
exhibit showed that especial en-
Fhasis had been given to orig
nal work, and thorough study
o. light, shade and color prin-
clples. Miss Dillingham; S clever
sketches Of the Central girls
were easily recognized, and her
careful drawing gives promise Of
a career. Miss Keith shows
great talent in her sketches of
picturesque Lexington. Miss
exhibited some dainty
and pleasing wafer colors.
Central is justly proud of the
work Of the Normal Glass. The
course corresponds to that Of

f.r,d at the large universities.
Mrs. Rose, who had the course
III ST. it'll kensington, London,
has introduced the girls to the
fundamental principles Of true
drawing, and the theory Of color
and design. Miss Machine
who finishes the course this
year, had a very interesting dis
play. Her color plates show an
earnest study Of historic orna-
ment, and her modelling gives
evidence Of hard work.
In the exquisite china display,
Miss Ahlfeldt' vase was notice
able for its delicate coloring. In
Miss Enid Smiths splendid *
hibit was a very exquisite Dutch
set. Perhaps the largest and
handsomest china display was
that of Mrs. Thorpe. Her gold
and white vase deserves special
for its splendid execu-
ton. Miss McCue's dresser
was very attractive.
Noticeable among the large
Sketched pieces was the hand
some jardiniere of Miss Staple
ton. Its design and execution
were unusual.
Central is to be congratulated
upon having secured such an

ALUMNAE BANQUET.

On Monday evening was in.
augurated a feature that is tC
be made a part of every com.
mencement under DR.. Williams
direction. This occasion of the
aIumnae banquet proved a most
delightful gathering of Central s
graduates and their friends. Gov
ers were laid for fifty guests
and an unusually bounteous re-
past was charmingly served.
The five courses were inter
Spersed with speeches and songs,
all of which admirably fit
the occasion. DR.. Williams as
POSTMASTER was most pleasing
and after the graceful address
Of the President of the
1Iullhde ASSOCIATION, Mrs.
John Poage, he directed the
program of the evening in such
an easy manner that the unusual
iormality Of such affairs was
largely lost and geniality and
genuine pleasure marked the
passing of the minutes to the
final singing of Aud Lang Syne.
Tuesday morning, on the cam
pus, the class day exercises were
held. The class history, will
and prophecy were read. DR..
Williams gave a short talk.

part to the trio. The double
ouartette was rendered by Miss
rs Sellers, Conner, Reagan; Mrs.
Allen; Messrs. st. Clair, Aull,
Price and Ramsey.
Several prominent musicians
eff Kansas City came down to
hear the oratorio. Among them
were Mrs. G. w, Fuller, presi-
dent of the Women's Musical
club; Mrs. S. S. Gundlach, vice
president; Mr.. S. S. Gundlach. a
prominent basso; Mrs. E. f.
Smith, a well-known soprano.
They all expressed themselves
as highly pleased with the musi-
cal ability Of Lexington.
The oratorio was a great at
tamment. The chorus Of eighty
voices showed the effect of the
proficient and careful drilling of
Mr.. Conrad. The intricate fig
ures, the effective crescendos and
diminuendo and the strong
cIimaxes were interpreted tell
iagly. "Baal, we cry to thee"
Thanks be to God, "Be
not afraid and the finale were
especially good.
OF the soloists Mr.. Wallis had
the most prominent part-that of
Elijah. Mr.. Wallis was well
known in Lexington, but his
singing of Elijah gave him great
er opportunity than he had pre-
yously had to show his won
derful ability. His dramatic
powers, his strong and flexible
voice and his perfect enunciation
were magnificent. The sing
ing of Mr.. Wallis alone was
worth the price of admission.
Mrs. Huff next to Mr.. Wallis
lad the most solo work. She
had been heard previously in
lexington, but it was her work
tuesday evening that will make
ler known as one of the best
'ontraltOs that ever sang here.
Her voice is deep, full and res
and yet she takes high
lotes with amazing strength and

For the third successive year

not be out of place to add, in
our own behalf, that we are

manufacturers that we repres-
ent are the oldest in the pict-
ure business. They have the
largest factories, and have the
most money and experience
back of them, so there is no
reason and above all, and to
our mind the greatest reason
that they are more desirable,
is the fact that every foot of
