William Smith, who has bound the
contractor, William Shockley, to have
it ready for occupancy before Christ
mas.
A building permit has been granted
to John Ingram to erect a dwelling
and other buildings necessary. on a
lot at the intersection of Washington
street and boundary line, in South
Milford
The Watson Block of stores is about
80 per cent completed, and add much
to the geenral appearance of the bust
ness section.
The new stores to be built by Mrs.
Lydia Jump, on North Walnut street,
will be much larger and more desir-
able than they were at first intended.
as she has purchased from DR.. R. Y.
Watson and the Masonic fraternity
additional ground in the rear and will
extend her stores back The theatre
will be a very attractive one if the
drawings are carried into effect.
Dr. Evans Robert, who was injured
in the automobile accident about two
weeks ago, was compelled to have one
of the fingers on his left hand ampu-
tated on Tuesday, for fear of blood
poison.
julie Breme, who resides on the old
Grier Homestead, near Milford, and
who is associated with II. L. and w.
L. Grier in the poultry business, has
been finding large numbers of his
chickens dead each morning for sew
eral weeks. He and his night watch
man, William Buell., determining 20
find the offender. began a closer watch
and discovered that a weasel was re-
sponsible for the killings.
Medford Jones one of the foremost
fruit growers in this section of Della
ware, has the prettiest peach orchard
TO be seen for miles. The orchard
lin question, which has only 200 trees.
all Of which are bent to the ground
with their load of peaches. has proven
profitable for four consecutive years.
The peaches are of the Belle of
Georgia and Alberta varieties. From
these 200 trees he will pick more than
1900 baskets of peaches, and it is fair
to estimate that they will sell for
more than a dollar a basket. Last sea-
son the same trees paid their owner
$1,000, while for the four years that
they have been in bearing they have
paid over $4,000. This is more than
his entire farm cost him originally
The trees occupy about two acres of
land.
Several valuable farms in the vicin-
Iity of Milford have changed owner
ship within the past few days, and the
buyers have been mostly home peo-
pie, who are culling out for invest
ment. Early last week Short and
Hall purchased two farms from Al
fred W. Powell. of the Milford Trust
Company, and on Saturday both OF
them were sold to local owners at a
fair profit. The first farm is known
as the Lewis" farm, and is located
about one mile south from Frederick
on the road leading to Milford. II
was bought by Jennings Mills, Of near
Milford, for $4,000. The other farm
is what is known as the "Harring-
ton Farm" located near Spring Branch
five miles northwest of Milford, which
was purchased by the man who has

ELIMINATING TREsPAssERs.
B. & o. Issues Statement Regarding
Train Riders.


Train Riders.
Ohicials OF the Baltimore and Ohio
Railroad have made a statement with
reference to the arresting OF train
riders. The explanation made by the
railroad officials was IN answer TO the
lintimation that the activities of the
railroad police department in arrest
ing unlawful train riders has any
connection with the commitment OF
prisoners TO the House of Correction
or any other penal institution in Mary
/ land
/ Il was stated that the activity OF
the police department of the Baltimore
and Ohio in arresting persons riding
on freight and passenger trains un-
lawfully is in harmony with the
I Ivigilant campaign which all the rail-
roads of the country are conducting
in an effort to eliminate so far as
possible, the evil of trespassing
upon the railroads. According to the
local railroad oficials the toll Of
deaths and injury TO persons who ride
on trains unlawfully is so appalling
that every effort is being put forth
to put an end to the nuisance.
In the states through which the
Baltimore and Ohio lines run there are
laws on the statute books against tres
passing on railroad property, and this
is aimed particularly at tramps and
other classes Of offenders, who fire.
quently cause the railroads to assume
heavy losses on account OF damage
to property, personal injury claims
and robberies. II was said that the
majority of persons who ride without
permission on trains are of vicious
lproclivities and do not hesitate TO COM
NIT serious offenses against the rail-
road companies and their patrons.

 "L. Pool, the messenger, was eating his lunch at the time the two figures entered his car. AL though they were masked the messenger coolly said, GO away from here or l will thrown this hot coffee on you
 "As he made motion to carry out his threat a bullet famed his cheek so closely that he fell to the floor under the impression that he had been shot. Six mail clerks were made to leave their coach and stand on the right of way with their hands up. Then the bandits forced the porter to cut the two front coaches and engine from the sleepers. The train pulled away from the other section with the bandit chief tain at the throttle. Conductor Cook had already gone through the sleepers, arousing the pas sengers, locking doors and ad- vising them to hide their valu- ables. With the throttle wide open the runaway train passed station after station until it was located at Englewood with the machinery dead.
 'L. Pool, the messenger, who is also the mayor of Cuba, Ala, gave out an interview that he had not considered the possibili- ty of the two bpys being ban- dits."

Filed Report With County Clerk.

In the grand jury's report J. R. Loftin, ST., was mentioned as not having filed his report with the circuit clerk.
 The report had been filed by MT. Loftin with the county clerk instead of the circuit clerk, and for this reason was not included in the circuit Jerks report. It is the duty of the justices to file a quarterly report with the county clerk and also to make a semi-annual report to the circuit court. Mir. Loftin merely got the two reports confused and fil- ed his seni-annual report in the wrong place, but when the mat ter was called to his attention, promptly corrected his mistake.

Rice Growers Want Dry Weather

Rice Growers Want Dry Weather
 Jonesboro, Sept. 26.-The rice growers of Craighead county are very much interested now in a few weeks of dry weather. They have all turned the water off the rice crop and some of them have started to harvesting. Ellis and Peters, started to cut ting rice and had harvested about thirty acres when the rain set in last evening.
 The rice crop in Craighead county was increased about 1000 acres this year: The prospects are that it will increase at least that much next year and that eventually the entire farming belt in the south and west part of the county will be planted in rice.
 The crop prospect this year has never been better and with anything like favorable weather will produce the greatest yield this county has ever known.

Turf Oats Best.
Il to Independent.

Special to Independent.
 Little Rock, Sept. 27,-Com- missioner John H. Page has ad- vised R. E. Bodine, of Memphis, in response to a question as to the best kind of winter oats to be sown upon his farm in Desha county, that Winter Turf oats are the best, and that the best time to plant is from September l5 to November l.
 "The ground should be broken about one inch deeper than you have been accustomed to blow the same land and the oats broadcasted and narrowed in, " writes the commissioner. "Two bushels per acre is sufficient to to SOW. If 1 had both buckshot and sandy land, ] would prefer buckshot; either will do. l most certainly would advise you to SOW winter oats. The care of the land, as well as the feed is either sufficient reason for the crop. would also advise that you SOW one bushel of lespedeza per acre, broadcast, in the oat field in February. Do not at tempt to harrow in the lespede- ga, the first rain will cover it sufficiently. When you harvest the oats, pay no attention to the lespedeza, and next September YOU can harvest a fine hay crop. Get the lespedeza seed now while it is cheap. If your land is in need of drainage, l would suggest that you throw up wa ter furroW about every twenty feet"

A Advertising-The Only Kind.

Advertising" was the prin- clpal subject discussed at the meeting of the Duo-State Laun- derers' Association at Little Rock yesterday. Several dele gates spoke upon this subject, all agreeing that the best meth cd of advertising was through the newspapers.
 "l have found by experience, :" said k. w. Smith of New Or leans, president of the associa- tlon, the use of the columns of the daily newspaper is best. By that means you keep your busi- ness constantly before the pub- lie. You reach the greatest num- Der and secure the best results. During the past three years I have spent about S3,OOO in ad- vertising the Troy Laundry Company of New Orleans, and we have secured an increase of business which well repaid us for the amount expended"
 B. c. Mcclellan of New Or leans, secretary of the associa- tion of the Chalmette laundry, one of the largest in the South, said that he had spent within the last few years $12,O0O in adver- Using in the daily newspapers. "1 do not regret the expenditure of one cent for this purpose" he said. 'It proved to be prof itable expenditure. It brought the returns expected. Before 1 inaugurated this system of ad- vertising l was surprised to find so few in New Orleans who knew the location of the Chalmette laundry. Now everybody knows where it is, the character of it's work, and the resultant effect has been a great increase in de- sirable business.-News Item.
