0ELAwARE's BUMPER NUT CROP
Prospect For a Record Brea king
Season in Lower Delaware

The prospect for a record breaking
nut crop is good in Delaware. All
OF the nut trees which grow through
out lower Delaware are overgrowing
with nuts and the nut growers should
reap good sum from the sale of them.
The large English walnut trees on the
farm of John H. Herring, near Mil
ford, will net him good money if the
prices which prevailed last fall are
realized. Wilbur Hammond another
Milford farmer has about twenty acres
planted in nuts, all of which have
been attended to and which give
promise of returning good money. His
orchards comprise English walnuts.
chinquapins, chestnut, Japanese wal
nuts, which grow in large clusters.
pecans, butter nuts, and others lust
as prolific. Clarence Emory has a
large field of nuts in which every tree
is loaded. Not only are the cultiva-
ted groves well loaded with fruit but
the large woods in that vicinity are
equally as well set as their more for
tunate neighbors.

Band Given "a Hours to Clear Out
Below Town of New Castle.
The Brazilian gypsies encamped
near Dobbinsville have been causing
so much trouble that they have been
directed to vacate in "a hours. The
nomads are charged with attempting
to mob Charles Newlove, a motorman
on a car of the Wilmington, New
Castle and Delaware City Railroad
which killed scraying horse owned
by the band. Passengers and residents
of Dobbinsville saved the motorman
from being roughly handled by the 12
or Is husky men gypsies. Merchants
are pestered by the nomads, who desire
to take anything they can get their
hands on without paying. Their beg
ging is also nuisance. A number of
women with their children visited the
camp, and while the others were en-
gagged in having gheir fortunes told
the gypsy children plundered the visit
ing youngsters of hair ribbons, neck
laces and finger rings. Several per-
sons lost money at the camp. When
another band atternptedto camp there
on Sunday, Officers Tobin and Wilson
directed the mento keep their teams
moving and would not let them cast

W. H. Cooper, Jr., a Whining ton
lawyer, son of DR.. w. H. Cooper. of
KentOn, had an experience Saturday
night ne will not soon forget. With
Dennis j. Horrigan, of 1902 West
street, Wilmington, secretary and
treasurer of the Horrigan Contracting
Company, they narrowly escaped be-
ing drowned when an automobile in
which they were riding ran into the
Chesapeake and Delaware canal at St
Georges. The men were both res
cued, but the machine went to the
bottom in twelve feet of water. Thew
were proceeding nOrthward in the
touring car of Horrigan, with the
owner at the wheel. When St. Geor-
ges was reached and while descending
a hill the driver turned to the left in
stead of keeping to the right and
thus crossing the br. re. As a re-
suit, the car, which was running at
the rate of from 25 to 80 miles an
hour, plunged overheard. The occu-
pants jumped when the machine struck
the water. c. H. Stats rescued
Horrigan and John Crumpton perfor-
med a like service for Cooper. Be-
yond receiving a good ducking neither
man was injured. A dredge arrived
after midnight and began the work of
recovering the car. The machine is
probably not badly damaged. When
the car started on the wrong course
down the hill, a number of persons
feared it would go overheard and thev
ran after it. Their suspicious were
well founded. The occupants were
homeward bound, having been to a
place on the State road below Towns
end where the Horrigan Company is
now engaged in building a macadam-
lied road. Mr.. Cooper lives opposite
the State rife range, below New Cas-
tie.

NEW RULE REGARDING PENSIONS
Pensions Will be Sent Direct Hereafter
Without the Usual Affidavit

Pensions Will be Sent Direct Hereafter
Without the Usual Affidavit
In accordance with recent ruling of
the Pension Office, the pensioners in
this town and vicinity have received
notice to the effect that they will no
longer be compelled to go to a notary
public to get their vouchers filled out
before they can draw their quarterly
pay from the government. The checks
due each pensioner will be sent out
every quarter from the Pension Office
direct to the pensioner without the
filling cut of the usual voucher, the
only thing required of the pensioner
being, when he receives his check, he
must exhibit his pension certificate to
two persons who must attach their
names to the check as witnesses, and
at the same time certifying to the ex-
hibition of the pension certificate at
the time of attesting the signature of
the pensioner. This ruling will affect
the notary publics throughout the
country, but will be great convent
ence to those drawing pensions and
also be d great saving of labor in the
Pension Office.
