WELL DESERVED
The Praise That Comes From
Thankful Smyrna People

One kidney remedy has known
merit.
Smyrna people rely upon it.
That remedy is Doan's Kidney
Pills.
Smyrna testimony proves it reli-
able.
John Rawley, Main St., Smyrna,
DEL, says: 81 am always willing to
recommend Doan's Kidney Pills as
they did me more good than any
other medicine l ever tried. l still
take this remedy occasionally and it
keeps me free from kidney COM
plant. What l said in the state
ment l gave some years ago, holds
good. For at least ten years l was
afflicted with kidney trouble that re-
sisted the treatment of doctors. l
suffered terribly from pains in my
back and frequently became dizzy.
The action of my kidneys was ir-
regular and caused me great an
noyance. / finally began the use of
Doan's Kidney pills, procured at
Clifton & Jones' Pharmacy and the
results both surprisd and delighted
me. By the time l had taken two
boxes, not a symptom of kidney
complaint remained.

FEARFUL TRAGEDY UPSETS
QUIET TOWN OF WELLINGTON
IRVING c. HURLOCK SHOT BY
JOSEPH HESsEY ON WEDNESDAY

Load of Shot Received in HurIock's
Shoulder After He Had Smashed
the Door of Hessey's Home
Armed with a revolver, irving C.
Hurlock, son of J. E. Hurlock, a
retired and wealthy landowner of
Millington, was shot and instantly
killed in the hallway Of the house
on his fathers farm about six and
a half miles from Millington, Wed
nesday night at 1870 O'Clock, by
Joseph Hessey, the man whom he
had declared he would kill. Hurlock
for sometime has been showing signs
of mental weakness and the cOnsen-
sus of opinion is that he was not in
his right mind when he intruded
upon the Hesseys.
Jury Exonerates HesseY of All Blame
A jury of inquest exonerated Hes
sey and rendered a verdict Of
justifiable homicide. The inquest
showed that Hurlock broke in the
front door of the Hessey home and
went directly to the bedroom of the
farmer. He threatened Hessey's
life unless he was given immediate
admittance and upon openingthe door
faced Hossey with revolver. Mr..
Hessey who had picked up his shot
gun, Immediately fired, the shot
taking effect in Hurlock' right
shoulder. Death was instantaneous
according to DR.. Merritt Price, of
Millington, who was summoned
shortly after the shooting. Hur-
lock. who was 81 years old, left
Millington, for the farm tenanted
by Mr.. Hessey and owned by Hur-
locks father early Wednesday morn
ing. He was at the Hessey home
for dinner and also for supper and
seemed in the best of spirits. After
supper he disappeared. When the
hour came for retiring, the family
became alarmed at his continued
absence and sought him in the
barns and nearby buildings. Their
search was without avail. Finally
they retired supposing that he had
either gone to the home of a neigh
Dor or had returned to MillingJon.
At about 10. 30 o'clock Mr.. Hessey
was aroused by loud rappings at the
side door of the house. He asked
who it was, but was refused an
answer. The noise confined and he
demanded to know who the stranger
was. 1t was then that he learned it
was young Hurlock. Before he could
descend and open the door, however,
Hurlock smashed it in with a large
sledge hammer, which he had spre-
sumably brought with him from the
stables. fastening upstairs, Hur-
lock demanded admittance into the
bedroom of Hessey and his wife, and
when the latter demonstrated with
him, Hurlock declared that he would
kill him if he could get TO him.
Hessey's wife in fright hasteneC
to another room, leaving the bed
room door open, and Hurlock stepped
through it, at the same time exhib
iting a pistol which he pointed a
Hessey's head, declaring that hi
would show him how to die. Hes
sey, during the noise had armed
himself with shotgun and as Hur
lock stepped through the doorwa.
he shot point-blank at the intruder
Hurlock fell to the floor bleeding
HesseY Gives Himself up to Officer
Mr.. Hessey Immediately drove t
Millington where he notified Hur
locks father of what he had don
and physician was hurried to tn

They will open the season with the

The athletic association should have
a separate play to pay its debts and
buy new uniforms, for the baseball
teams Of this school ln past years have
looked more like a bunch Of rAgamuiiln'
than team that represented school
o the same calibre as l.. O. II. s. We
believe that II the faculty has the true
con ,ep;ion of what athletics mean Ia

put on for the benefit Of the association
which the boys will appreciate very
highly.

to know if we students have pre-

iustifable to let us continue in

ner that it will meet the approval
of each and every member of the
faculty. No doubt, it is just as
disappointing to the teachers to
have pupil fail, as it is to the
pupil h imse Examinations
should not be dreaded, and
.hought of as the most burden
some time of our school life. In
fact, we ought to regard examiua.
ton week as the happiest time OF
school days, and the less active
time. Of course, it is absolutely
necessary to be up and doing while
we are on examination, but that
doesn't last very long. If VIZ

we should have, there is very lit
tie need of remaining up at a very
