SOCIETY NOTES.

The Fruitland Commercial Club
certainly deserves much credit for
the royal manner in which they en-
tertained their friends last Thu s.
day evening, The Club met in short
regular session in Stegner's Hall at
1880, afterward adjourning to john
sons Hall where the evenings pro-
gram took place. The Clubs Pres
ident, c. H. Sargent greeted the
guests and appointed H. E. Robinson
toast master. Guy Graham was the
first speaker, responding with a
very neat presentation of some of
the rancher's causes for grief just
now and better yet, some plausible
remedies. Among other side lines
which he urged and which his own
experience had proved as very profi-
table, was hog-raising. From an
investment of $4,000 the past year he
has sold s172.ee worth and had $500
worth for his own use. He believes
thoroughly in Embarrassing first, but
that many other side lines might
profitably claim our attention.
Mrs. Ira Dalzell then gave us a rea
ing, "The COLLINS VIII Git You, II
You Don't Watch Out 1t was very
eleverly done and much enjoyed.
d. l., Ingard gave very interesting
talk, in which he expressed himself
as much in favor of Mr.. Graham S
views; his principal topic, however
was along the line of over-production
In fruit. He cited various SATISFIES
showing the enormous acreage OF CT
ehards put out in recent years, but
was fully convinced that the practiea al
orchardist who knew his business
thoroughly, and could raise first class
stuff, economically, need have no
sfear of -production-thera wcull
of necessity be so many who would
be obliged to drop out of the bus
ness.
G. H. Sargent read very praeueal
and thoughtful paper, which was az
nounced as Maritime Cry" he did
admit hard times, but he did no cry
ing. Instead he showed where some
of the blame for the present sltua
ton lay-at our own doors-where' II
stead of being frugal we have beer
profligate; instead of being conser'a
tive we have inclined to speculation
with the result that now wa mus
submit to a REIMBURSEMENT OF al
fairs. Mr.. Sargent's paper contalne'
lots of good, hard sense, and many
have expressed wish to see 1t II
print.
Til program closed with stuini
speech" which caused a few smiles
The program was interspersed wiz
orchestra music; and was followed D
a grand march to the refreshment "a
le where the crowd, to the nulhpe
of $50, helped themselves to de'l
cious sandwiches, coffee, Sd
ads, cheese, pickles, pie and CAKE

DR. WATT CONSULTS BISHOP
OVER COMING CONFERENCE
JOINS OTHER DISTRICT SUPER
INTENDENTS WITH BISHOP
Date for Next Conference at Crsfield
Changed From March 18th to 26th
Few Changes Are Probable

Rev. DR.. Robert Watt, Superin-
tendent of Easton District, resident in
Smyrna, attended a conference in
Dover yesterday, at which Bishop
Berry and his cabinet were present.
The meeting was held at the home
of Rev. and Mrs. R. K. Stephenson.
Plans for the coming session at
Crisfield were gone into. At the re-
quest of the cabinet, Bishop Berry
changed the date of the conference
from March 10 to March 26. The
cabinet made this request because
Easter Sunday comes on March %
and the pastors therefore will be at
home for the services on that day.
Appointments were discussed with the
probability of few changes. That
nine-tenths of the appointments to be
made at the coming session, will be in
the nature of returning pastors to
their present charges was the in
timation of Bishop Berry, who will
preside over the session. His cabin
ct, consisted of District Superintend-
ents Hoffecker. Watt, Stephenson and
Jones, and matters were gone into
more or less in detail. Few changes
will therefore be made, and the indica
tions are that quiet session of con-
ference will be held. The bishop and
his cabinet held an all day session, at
which many of the preliminary mat
ters pertaining to the conference
session were discussed and settled.
No appointments were made, only a
general review of the work. The
meeting was very pleasant and DR..
and Mrs. Stephenson were hosts pro-
viding an enjoyable dinner.

Wave of Religious Fervor Broke Out
Again Sunday Night-Conversions
The protracted meeting at Jerman
Chapel, which closed last week, broke
out again with new zeal and power
last Sunday night. At the close of
the sermon the pastor Rev. w. E.
Matthews asked if there were any
W anted to seek Christ in pardon of
sin, to come. An old man highly
honored in the community lifted his
hands and broken hearted came and
fell at the altar and prayed for par
don. Soon there were others seeking
and a glorious revival began One
conversion was had Sunday evening,
Monday evening there were six at the
altar and three conversions, and last
evening TUESDAY EVENING", two more
professed conversion. The work is
still going on. The meetings will go
on just as long as souls can be saved
or good can be done. Xxx.

MlLFORD'S CLAM HARVEST
Bay Tide Was So Low on Saturday
They Were Easy to Obtain.

The unusually low tides Saturday,
near Milford uncovered the bayshore
flats for a mile off shore ,and the
farmers along the bay line had op-
portunity to catch hundreds of thous-
ands of CLANS, known in the city
markets as ''little necks." The peo-
pie of Milford Saturday morning were
able to buy hundreds of dozens of
these bivalves for six cents per dozen
but many of the large catches were
SHIPPED to the city markets, where
they command fine prices Mananose,
a shell fish, which resembles the
New England clam, were also
caught in large quantities Saturday
and sold for five cents per dozen.
These she'll fish form large part of
the wipter table delicacies for not
only the people along the bayshore,
but for the people of the towns. They
are very rich. and cannot be eaten as
freely as the ordinary clam or oyster.

tions in general, were very satisfac-
tory. There were some in all
grades that did not pass. The Dover
High School will play game of bas-
ket ball in Smyrna on Tuesday eve'g,
Feb. 11th. We are extremely sorry
that Milford disappointed US last
evening. The class game was as eX-
citing as the game between Smyrna
and Milford would have been. The
public is heartily invited to attend
the exercises of the High School Lit
erary Society. The program will
be of such a nature that is fitting for
the celebration of Washington's and
Lincoln's birthdays. We not only
invite you but sincerely urge you to
attend. The program will begin,

MILFORD POSTOFFlCE FIGHT

Senator Richardson and Congressman
HeaId Each Have a.Candidate.
President Taft now has before him
two names for the postmastership at
Milford, DEL, one of them being Ed
ward Pierce, sent to him several days
ago by United States Senator Rich
ardson, and the other Chester Mar
shall, son of State Senator George
w. Marshall, who has peen recon-
mended for the place by Congressman
Heald. Having the two names will
probaly result in the President delay
ing the sending of one of them to
the Senate for confirmation. The
two names being recommended for
the one office is the outcome of the
Delaware members of Congress dis
agreeing over the appointment. Mr.
Richardson has steadfastly refused
to recommend Mr.. Marshall following
an Incident which occurred last spring.
For several months nothing was
done regarding the postmasterships
of any Of the towns in Delaware.
Now the only appointment to be
made by the President is for Milford,
but it is doubtful if any of the others
already sent to the Senate for con-
firmation will get through.

PROSPECT OF NEW BALLOT LAW

Feeling In Present Legislature that
Some Simpl fled Ballot will be Had.
Feeling is growing that before ad
jourment a simplified ballot bill will
be enacted by the Legislature. In
all probability it will be the Ewing
bill, which has been reported favor
ably to the Senate and which is likely
to pass that body within a few days.
1t is understood that the Democrats
may take the Ewing bill, which was
prepared by the Republican State
Committee. If few minor changes
are made in it. The Democratic
simpliied ballot bill is still in the
House committee. 1t does not vary
so much from the Republican bill ,ex-
cept that it provides for strip bal
lots while the Republican bill pro-
vides for blanket ballot
