DELAWARE
by Daniel MOnagle.

o Delaware. loved Delaware.
Land of my fondest dreams;
o how l love thy fertile plains.
Thy groves and purling streams.
I've seen full many beauteous cline,
And many a land so fair,
But none like thee does charm me,
My own lov'd Delaware.
There's music in thy murmuring rills.
And freedom in the breeze;
Elysian joy it is to roam
Among the leafy trees.
In, spring, when flowers of every hue
Perfume the balmy air;
In sooth thou art a paradise,
My own lov'd Delaware.
In days gone by, when England's
might
Did our fair land oppress;
With her fell lust for greed and gain,
And for us no redress.
Thou vert the first to boldly stand,
Our freedom to declare,
And shed your life blood in its cause,
Heroic Delaware.
Like David 'gainst Goliaths might,
You first were in the field;
Through many a long and bitter fight
You ne'er were known to yield.
And at the front when cannons
roared,
And trumpets loud did blare,
You left your blood at Freedoms
shrine,
My own bold Delaware.
And 'mong thy noble patriots
There was no towards heart.
For every man for home and God
Did nobly do his part.
And even without food or clothes,
In winters chilly air.
You kept your stand for Freedoms
cause,
Bold men of Delaware.
First state in this great land of ours,
How proud | am of thee:
Thy sons are bravest of the brave,
Thy daughters fair to see.
For aye so bright may Freedoms light
Shine DER the brave and fair,
And each day more increase your
store,
My own lov'd Delaware.

DELAWARE CITY ROW.

@ ONE public spirited citizens of Delaware City
~ are securing funds for the purpose of improv-
ing the road that leads from the macadamized
highway at the drain ditch bridge at the north
end of the town to the canal bridge, distance of
eight-tenths of a mile.
They are soliciting popular subscriptions and
it is estimated that about 5000 will be required to
put the stretch of bad road into good condition.
1t is believed that some $500 would insure
macadamized road.
The Journal thinks this latter road would be
better and it should not be difficult for the citi-
zens to raise the money needed AS a matter of
fact the town should build the road and not de-
pend upon voluntary subscriptions and work for
its construction. If the improvement is made
there will be fine road all the way through Della
ware City in place of the present muddy highway.
The Good Roads Committee of Delaware City
which has the matter in charge is composed of Cap
tain L. S. Ryan, George Batten and r. A. Pea
cock. They would like financial help.

 FOR THE GREEN WORMS

Little Rock, July 23.-Reports con- tinue to be received at the Department of Agriculture of the ravages of the grass worm or cut-worm in the cotton and corn fields of many counties, es- pecially in the recently overflowed district. It is reported that these worms appear in great quantities in many fields. beginning on the grass and then on the corn and cotton which are stripped of their foliage, leaving the bare stalks.
 David T, iFullway, entomologist of the Department of Agriculture, at Washington, in a bulletin sent Com missioner Sloan, says Fields should be protected against migratory worms from the time of seeding with a deep furrow, the dirt being thrown out so as to leave perpendicular wall of about twelve inches facing away from the field. Poisoned bait according to the following formula should be spread out in liberal quantities early: White arsenic, pound:. bran, 30 pounds; molasses. quart; water to moisten."
