DELKER FAILS In SWIM
Forced to Quit Attempt TO Make
Sandy Hook by Rough Water

New York, Sept. 2.-After being in
the water over nine hours, Geo. Delker,
of the Collingswood Athletics Club,
a Wildwood life guard, was
forced to give up his attempt to swim
from the Battery to Sandy Hook today.
Accompanied by a boat, with James
e. Hart aud two other men, Jeffrey
Doan and George Delker dove off the
public bath house at Battery Place.
Doan set an awful pace, and after
swimming seven miles he was forced
to quit. Delker continued on, and
although the water was rough, he
gamely kept at his task, and after be-
ing in the water 8 hours and IL min-
utes was forced to quit after covering
10 miles.
The salt water nearly blinded him at
times, and he complained frequently
Of sore eyes and an injured wrist. The
last couple OF miles the attendants In
the boat coaxed him to give up the
attempt, as it seemed almost foolish to
continue in such rough water and his
present physical condition.

liked to wildwood

Wesley j. Caldwell, steward of the
Eagles Home, enjoys the distinction
OF having carried a message from Phila-
delphia to Wildwood on foot, a distance
of nearly q hundred miles. On his
long distance hike young Caldwell
averaged over five miles an hour.
Starting from the Eagles Temple, 1895
Spring Garden Street, Philadelphia,
the home of Phlladel phia Aerie No. AZ,
r. O. E., he brought a message from
Secretary Edward ]. Ryan, to Seere-
tary I'll. G. 6%chlichting, of the local
Aerie. The message read as follows:
Dear Sir and Brother
This message will reach you with
out hiring the post office, by the same
means of locomotion which the twelve
Apostles used in converting the world.
From the center Of the city of Penn,
through the gardens and flower fields
OF New Jersey, to the fairy city of
Wild wood Wildwood by the sapphire
sea which is made salt by the tears of
sorrow shed by Its visitors at leaving
for home. This letter will carry the
message Of the Eagles OF Aerle No. AZ
TO the Eagles Of Wildwood N. J., and
This message Is:
May the feet OF u maidens dip oft
IN thy ocean;
May Aeries of Eagles find health in
thy breeze;
And the music of laughter and happy
emotion;
Change Quakers to children undress-
ed to the knees.
The bearer of this message, Wesley
]. Caldwell, has l trust, found Phila-
delphia h~ospitable and warm, but l
fear the temperature will also prove SO
warm as 10 accentuate anxiety to re-
turn 10 Wildwood, and only the stern

WILD FRUITS AND BERRIES

The lack of interest in growing
fruits and berries can easily ze traced
to the abundance of wild grapes, null
berries, huckelberries, muscadines,
persimmons and other small fruits
that grow in the woods here for from
the beginning of summer until far
filled with one or the other of the
settlers, and the golden opportunities
fruits above mentioned, and those who
desire can supply their table with
these delicacies the year round by
preserving and canning them without
going to the trouble of planting and
cultivating them. At this season of
the year the woods are full Of grapes,
and persimmons and thou
sands of bushels of them are gather
ed and sold at good prices on the To-
cal markets. This of itself is con-
vincing proof of tht adaptability of
this soil for fruit and berry growing.

FRUITS

Fruits of all kinds do we'll here and
while but little attention has ever
been given to this branch of farming,
it is an established fact beyond doubt
or dispute that the soils of Grant
county are admirably adapted to the
growing of peaches, pears, plums and
apples. 1t is we'll known the world
over that the famous Tull Apple was
originated in this county, and while IT
is grown extensively in all fruit grow
ing sections, there is no other place
where it reaches perfection as 1t does
on this, it's own native soil. Tull
Apples are a prime favorite wherever
found, and they are raised in abund-
ance in this county.
Many varieties of peaches are
grown here, but the soil here is more
particularly adapted to the famous Ell
berta and it is raised in large guam
titles as running mate to the Tull
Apple

STOCK RAISING

Since the removal OF the heavy
timber from many sections of land.
some eighty or one hundred thousand
acres, Grant County has truthfully
become stockman's paradise, and
thousands of acres of this cut-over
land now presents the appearance OF
a beautiful shaded lawn with it's tall,
waving tender grass, with just enough
small trees and shrubs to furnish
shade for stock and resting places for
those who now cut their winters sup
ply of hay from this land. No finer
place could be found than this for
sheep or, cattle raising. as there Is al
ways plenty Of water within easy ac-
cess for any amount OF stock, as there
are small streams and live springs in

STRAWBERRIES

Here we doff our hat to Grant Coun-
ty, and having spent many years
among the big strawberry fields OF
Northwest Arkansas, where thousands
of acres of land are cultivated In
strawberries and where carload after
carload of berries are shipped each
day during the spring months, there
is no hesitation in saying that more
and finer strawberries can be raised
to an acre here than in any other Sec
tons of the state, and that, too, with
less labor and expense In cultivating,
mulching and gathering. For many
wears the lack of transportation to
the markets prevented profitable
growing of berries, and on this &C
count only small patches were plant

A NEW sso,ooo COURT HOUSE

The new Grant County Court House
which has recently been completed at
cost to the taxpayers of 80, 900.
occupies a prominent place in Sneri-
dan, being located in the center Of the
business district. The building is two
stories high, is built Of pressed brick
and concrete, is Of the latest archi-
tectural design, with large well fin
ished and conveniently arranged court
room above and office rooms below for
the clerk, sheriff and other county Of
ficials To sum the whole matter up
in few words, it is one Of the best,
handsomest, most conveniently arr
ranged and most substantial
county buildings In the state, and res
fleets great credit upon the whole
town and county.

More than 200 handsome and costly

credit upon any city in the state. and
at the rate the city has been moving
forward it will be but very few
years until Sheridan will be numbered
among the cities of the second class,
or even the first class, for this town
is composed of wide awake,
progressive hustlers who when
lAaaa- aIouAed to the pecsessity of
their needs, know no such word as
fail, and they are united In their deter
mination to make Sheridan one of the
biggest and best towns in the state,
and they have right at their. doors

their aim. They have the location,

quit farming and found more lucra-
tive employment in the lumber camps.
and thousands of acres of new lands
are being brought into state of cult
walton each year, while the stock
growing interests are receiving more
attention than ever before.
AS a farming and fruit growing
country the lands Of Grand county
are uneXcelled by those of any county
in the state. The soil Of these lands are
of rich, sandy loan with clay
foundation, while that of the creek
and river bottoms is dark rick al
luvial, yielding nearly or quite bale
of cotton per acre or 40 to so bushels
of corn when properly cultivated.
Any and all of these soils are par
ticlarly adapted to truck farming,
and with proper cultivation and good
seed two hundred bushels or over of
Irish potatoes can easily be grown
on an acre, with two tons of vines saved
been grown on these lands at the rate
of four hundred bushels per acre.
Thirty bushels Of peas is an average
crop per acre while as much as IS
bushels of peanuts have been raised
an acre, with two tons of vines saved
from the same ground as hay, which
is equaled in feeding value only by
field pease. There is a strong demand
and a good market for peanuts, and
the wonder is that thousands of acres
of this land is not planted exclusively
in peanuts.

GOOD ROADS

Grant County was one Of the first
counties in the state to fall in line
when the tocsin sounded the call for
good roads building, and there is not
a county in the state that has better
roads or more miles of good roads
than has Grant County, yet her people
have never allowed their enthusiasm
to cool nor do they intend to until the
last stretch of road in the county is
made as good as the best in any other
county, for her farmers fully realize
the Importance Of having good roads
over which to haul their produce to
markeet or to travel for pleasure.

and but for the fine timbers, the fer
tile soils and the fine stock raising
lands surrounding it there was little
to attract the traveller in search of a
location, particularly when viewed
from the railroad, and for this reason,
together with the fact that it's great
advantages had never been made
known to the outside world, many a
prospector has passed, unnoticed this
town which, had he known, or taken
time to- investigate, might have proven
the ideal place for his business and
his home
During the past seven years, how
ever, the improvements made in this
town and the wonderful and magic
like changes that have been made
both in the city and country sur
rounding it are beyond description OF
the writer's pen.

modern buildings and plank walks we

ury to pay for paving all it's streets.
and there will still be money left In
the treasury OTTER the paving is dopA
One thing that is especially worthy
of mention in connection with this
condition of affairs is the fact that
when Mr. Ashcraft was elected mayor
of this city he was the only Republi-
can in the city, everything else being
solidly Democratic, and at present
there are only three Republicans In
Sheridan. We only mention this to
show that politics holds no place
among the people of Sheridan SO long
as a man Is man. Mr.. Ashcraft Is
also postmaster, which position he
has held for twelve years, and the SER
vice he has given the public in this
position has added much to his popu-
larity.

SHIPPING FACILITIES

Shipping facilities are fairly good
at present, and when the north and
south line projected from Sheridan to
Little Rock is completed they will be
all that could be desired. At present,
however, shipments can be made from
Sheridan late in the afternoon and
these fruits can be served on the
breakfast tables of the St. Louis or
Memphis, N. o. hotels and homes next
morning at o'clock, or they will
reach Little Rock, Hot Springs or
