ORATORY AT GRANGE PICNIC
Hon. 4. Irving Hardy, Prof. Hayward
and Rev. W. D. Parry Make Tell
ing Speeches at Gathering


Thursday was the annual Field
Day" of Smyrna Grange, No. 2l, P.
of H., and $50 or more grangers
and friends spent delightful day
at the country home of Mr.. and Mrs
B. Frank Richards. The day, beau
tiful and clear, followed a rainy
spell, and for a time it was feared
the apple orchard would not be in
condition to entertain the hosts, but
the early morning sun dried the
ground and by afternoon. the time
most of the crowd was present, the
orchard was an ideal spot. What
was lacking in attendance in the
morning was made up in the after
noon for teams and automobiles
came from all parts of the surround
ing country. Cheswold Grange sent
big delegation and the fraternal
spirit marked it meeting that was
in every way highly enjoyable. Dur
ing the noon hour a picnic dinner
was served in the orchard. Music
was furnished by the Stayton Cornet
Band of Smyrna and later several
addresses were given to those as
sembled. Hon. L. Irving Handy of
Smyrna, gave the chief address and
while he felicitated the farmer and
granger and pointed out some homely
lessons, he could not lose the oppor-
tunity to make out of his remarks
some Democratic doctrine that was
Dunctuated with applause. He kept
the crowd in good humor with story
and anecdote. Prof. Hayward of
Delaware College was another
speaker and he spoke of the educa-
tional side of the farmers life and
the necessity of being well informed.
He made a special point of co-edu-
cation for the women of Delaware
and welcomed the day when the
farmers daughter would be given an
equal chance with her brother. Rev.
W. D. Parry of Smyrna, spoke a
short whil lie on the necessity of up
right living and dwelt upon the
nobler impulses that should pervade
the farmers life and his dealings
with his fellow men. E. A. Evans
of Cheswold Grange, another
speaker, brought a greeting from
Cheswold and made happy and
helpful speech. At the conclusion
of the public program, ice cream and
cake was served and the rest of
the day devoted to the social life
for which the women of Smyrna
Grange are noted. 1t was a pleasant
congeni9l gathering and take it all
in all it was one of the most de-
lightful gatherings cur local grange
has ever taken. Mr.. and Mrs.
Richards had their farm looking
sphinx and span for the visitors anC
many complimentary remarks were
made on his up-to-dste methods ant
home surroundings. These FielC
Days or annual picnics are events
looked forward to by Smyrna Grang'
from year to year.

ATTACKED AND LEFT TO DIE

Badly Injured and Beaten by Thugs

Or. G. r. Sirman. Laurel Veterinarian
Badly Injured and Beaten by Thugs
A bold attempt was made Monday
night at Laurel to assassinate
Charles r. Sirman As years old,
a well-known veterinarian. On his
way home from the suburbs near
midnight he was struck down by
two men. He received two fright
ful wounds that laid bare the scalp.
He was found later in a hammock in
his front yard by his wife, who had
been awakened by his groans. DR..
Farlow, who dressed the wounds
says the wounded man has a chance
to recover, but that he is in a very
dangerous condition. The assault,
which has created a stir there, is
clouded in mystery. If robbery was
the intent of the assailant they were
evidently scared off before accom-
plishing their purpose, as they took
nothing.

REQUEST FOR MORE STREET
LIGHT TABLED BY COUNCIL
IGNORE PETITION FOR LIGHT
IN FRONT OF BETHEL CHURCH
Third Petition Tabled Within Two
Months-Council Deems it More a
Matter of trimming Shade Trees

waiter OF running OnaOe lreeS
Smyrna Town Council met in reg
ular session Friday evening with
but a bare quorum present. Presi-
dent Reynolds and Councilmen
Grieves, Fortner and Roberts were
present and but short session was
held. A petition from the resi-
dents of Whopping" for a street
light to be placed in front of Bethel
A. Nj. E. Church was laid on the
table. This makes the third or
fourth request made within the past
few months by residents Of Smyrna
for additional street lights. Coun-
Gil has taken the stand there are
sufficient lights on the streets to
meet the needs of the travelling pub
lie. A point was made that there
were four street lights between
East street and Monrovia avenue.
The trouble is with the shade trees
and as one member expressed him
self, if the property owners would
show the right interest they would
aid the street lighting department
by trimming the shade trees of it's
lower branches so lights could shine
up and down the streets. If sys-
tematic effort were made in this
direction, it would be remarkable
what a difference it would make in
the street light service. During
the discussion it was intimated,
should complaints still come in, that
Council might finally take the mat
ter in hand and have Street Super
visor Turner and force of men take
ur the matter of trimming shade
trees all over town. Property own
ers, they contend, can do the work
much to their own satisfaction if
they will Only take the time to do
it. Shade trees must be trimmed
and if the property owners don't do
it, Town Council will have to have
it done.

The gutter and curb, it will be re.

to that part of town. When a new
pavement is laid in front of the

APPLE GROWING PROMISES
TO SUPPLANT THE PEACH
SMYRNA - CLAYTON - BRENFORD
VICINITY MAKE GOOD SHIPMENTS
Four Solid Cars of Apples. the First in
Carloads in History of This Vicinity
Move up the Delaware Railroad

Since peach growing has become
lost art in Delaware, growers in
this vicinity are devOting much at
tentiOn to grapes and apples. Grape
culture has already made this section
of the state famous. What promises
to be another big fruit industry in
Smyrna and vicinity some day is
apple growing. Already there are
some fine orchards in this vicinity in
which Walter T. Massey of Massa-
soft Fruit Farm leads. He has Just
finished harvesting 5000 bushels of
early apples from an orchard of five
acre and still has 20 acres in apples
coming on. These are largely of
the Yellow Transparent or Red As.
trachan varieties. By grating he
has obtained a new variety, the
Cleveland Raspberry" which as a
dessert apple promises to be very
popular. The quality is exceeded
by none, not excepting the Summer
Paramaine, Early Joe, Lippincott,
or Grimes Golden. He has only
few trees of this one variety and
they are surely winners. Mrs.
Joseph E. Carter stands second in
the list of Smyrna-Clayton apple
growers and G. Frank Gootee third.
There are also fine orchards on the
farms of Joseph B. FAIRIES and Wood
Ennis. Market prices for early
apples this season have been some
what disappointing, but with all
that, better paying than cereals.
Apple prices have been ranging any,
where from 40 cents to SIPS per
bushel. For the first time in the
history of Brenford Station four
solid carloads of early apples have
been shipped by R. Y. Wallen.
Apples heretofore have been shipped
along with other produce, but this
season they have made solid car
loads. Such has never been done
before at any station above Dover,
on the Delaware Railroad.

R. Y. wALLENs PROLIFIC FARM
From 90 acres he Got 1900 Bushels

FROM 80 acres he Got 1900 Bushels

r. Y. Wallen of Clayton. on his
375 acre farm near Greenspring,
tenanted by Herman Stats, has just
finished threshing 80 acres of wheat
from which he procured 1900 bushels.
He sold it for $1.O2 per bushel.
This is the highest price received
so far for wheat in this vicinity.
Mr.. Wallen is also harvesting his
plum crop. He has an orchad of
1000 trees and has shipped so far
25O0 carriers or approximately a
little more than half of his crop.
His "Red June" variety was finished
last week and this week the "Abun.
1ance'' are on. His "Burbank, Z"
another prolific crop will be on

NOMINATION Of DR.. CONwELL

His Selection by the Republican Con-
Vention for Governor Seems Settled
Among the Machine Leaders
Unless all signs fail, DR.. Luther
S. COnwell Of Camden, will be nom
mated for Governor by the Repub-
lican State Convention on August 20.
1t was announced Saturday that the
party leaders have decided to sup
port him as the successor to Cover
nor Pennewill. This fact, together
with his personal following, will
doubtless insure him the nomination.
By the time-hOnored plan of rota-
tion, the Republican gubernatorial
nominee this year will come from
Kent county. This will not be
broken. DR.. Conwell, altho an
active republican for years, has
never held office. In the event of
his election, he will be the first
physician to fill the office of Cover
nor of this State since the incum-
bency of DR.. Cove Salisbury, Dem
ocrat, of Dover. The latter sue
ceeded to the Office upon the death
of Governor Cannon, wartime
Governor. in March, 1865, and was
elected himself in November of the
same year to full term.

His Shirt Industry in Smyrna.
Ralph E. Stats, proprietor of
the Smyrna Shirt Factory, located
on Delaware street, started Monday
morning to lay the foundation and
build an extension 65x10 feet on the
north side of his present structure.
The extension is to make room for
his growing business of manufactur-
ing shirts. He will add Is or 20
new sewing machines and also in
crease the number of his operators
to this figure. Mr.. Stats started
in small way few years ago and
has developed an industry that is
a credit to Smyrna in every way,
giving employment to women and
girls and paying out thousands of
dollars annually in Smyrna, money
that is circulated right here at
home. Mr.. Stats contemplates, if
the necessity requires, putting in
larger engine, a dynamo and in
the absence of day current from the
Smyrna electric light plant of fur
nishing his own current for lighting
his plant.

proving the document and that she
does not believe it to be the will of
her sister, Mrs. Burton. A sale of
the Burton property was advertised
by the sheriff last week. The at
torneys for the petitioner, however,
secured a stay of proceedings until
