A DESERTED INFANT

On Thursday morning some one called
John Bartlett's attention to what was
thought to be some kittens in bag on
the lot back of the-Presbyterian Church,
and John accordingly went to look after
the kittens. He came back in hurry,
his eyes wide open with astonishmant, to
announce that ut is live baby" And
so il proved to be-a light colored mulat-
to infant, wrapped up in an old guano
sack. The doctor said the child was about
two days old, and had evidently laid out
in that exposed condition all that time.
An attempt to strangle the infant had
been made, for piece of rope was found
tightly drawn around its neck-and yet
marvellous to tell, although it was in
shocking condition, it will probably live.
An old colored nurse. Amanda Johnson,
was given charge of the little waif, and
Mr.. Jacob H. Emerson kindly saved the
nurse and her weak charge the hot walk
in the sun to her home, by sending them
thltheT in his carriage. Later in the day
Mr.. Frank Stout the agent for friendless
children, called and took the child to
Wilmington, where it will be given good
care. No cue to the inhuman mother
has been found. nun ber of these bar.
barous desertions have occurred in Mid
dle.oWn, and sharp dose of criminal
law should be given the heartless parent
to stop the practice.
N. B.-Since the above was put IN type
State Detective Mccoy has arrested Cora
Rothwell, who he claims is the mother of
the child. The woman was taken to
Wilmington yesterday afternoon where
she will be given a hearing.

COIOred MasOns Parade

On Thursday there were probably 1000
colored visitors in Middletown, the attrac-

by the Stone Square Lodge No ~ A. F. &

Street 10 the old Shirt Factory where the
big crowd of visitors amused themselves
in various ways during their dsy's stay in
town.
The band, which was Johnson's Cornet
Band from Smyrna, gave concert in the
square wherein they entertained their
crowds aud the entire neighborhood with
a large number of beautiful selections
well rendered.
Every train brought hundreds TO swell
the numbers, and it is son ethiug greatly
to the credit of these colored f,lks, home
ones and visitors, that there was no dis
order and very little drunkenness. We
believe that only four arrests we're made
during the whole day and night.

crop grown here in recent years, and if
the yield is as large in other states, the

If the large crop is the fact that large
