our beloved brother, friend and relative,
| John NJ. Wooters, passed away, who was
just in the prime of life, after a short ILL
ness of only five days. These resolutions
were adopted by our Sunday School:
WHEREAS, 1t has pleased the Good
Father above to take from usour beloved
friend and brother, John NJ. Woeters, and
WHEREAS, We have always found him
brother indeed and always a friend.
Therefore, be it
ReS0L0ed, That we appre eciate the help
we have received from him and know
that he will be missed in all our doings
for the good of the community, and that
we will miss him when there are like
times where he and he only could help in
the past. And be it
ReSOi5ed, That we have a copy of these
resolutions kept in the Sunday School
record, and that a copy be sent to the
bereaved family and also one sent to the
Milford Chronicle.

hope that he may soon be able to get out
again and be among us.

The case of Jacob B. Larimore, of

committed the deed of selling whiskey
at Delmar, and which were brought
over from the last term of court. have

cases of Paul Cullen, for false preten-
ses, alleged to have been perpetrated
on the farmers in and about Frankford
which resulted in the loss of several

SUSSEX COURT
IN SESSION
Many Persons Probated. Other Cases
Carried Over. Storm Kills Msn at
Dagsboro.

The regular April term of Superior
Court and Court of General Sessions
convened at Georgetown, Monday al
noon which Associate Judges Wooley
and Rice on the bench From the
present outlook it appears that the
term will be about two weeks dura-
tion. Nearly all the cases are docket
ed for trial on the Superior Court trial
list, but whether they will be disposed
of at this term is a question as there
has not been a revision of the calendar
and any certain cases set for trial.
The attendance is larger than was ex-
pected owing to the fact that many of
the farmers are now busily engaged get
ting their soil in readiness for the plant
ing season. The grand jurors were dis
charged Tuesday at noon from any
further attendance at this term Of
court The petit jurors serving have
thus far had little to do, because most
of the cases that have come before the
court are those in which a plea of guilty
has been entered and therefore all that
was necessary to do was to probate or
the offenders.
The grand jury returned the following
true bills: Stateys. Emanuel Pritchett,

fowls from James P. Piece, Jr., also of
Milford, was nolle pressed.
George ShOwels, colored. residing
near Nassau, indicted for an alleged
theft of thirty-five bushels of potatoes
from John R. Warrington on or about
November 10th, last year, was acouit-
ted Tuesday afternoon. 1t was claimed
that the negro went to the potato kiln
of Warrington with wo-horse-wagon
and entered the kiln and drove off with
the potatoes. The case was based on
the fact that Showels had a pumble-
footed horse and that the tracks made
by the horses or at least one of them
compared somewhat to those made bv
the horse of Showels.
A plea OF guilty to the larceny of
four chickens belonging to Harry Coul-
bourn of Seaford, on or about February
IL, this year, was made by Oscar Tai

justice of the peace to whom he went |
for information, that he did not neces-

stated that an erroneous Statement
seemed to prevail in the county that if |
the prosecuting witness did not wish to |
appear against an offender of the law
that he did not have to and the case
was dropped. Jude Woolley addressing
MS remarks to Coulbourn told him that |
It was in the hands of the state to dis
continue cases, and that it was onlv
