While splitting wood at his home here
N Saturday. James Dryden sustained
racture of the right arm when a stick of

Realizing that in order to obtain profit
rom their orchards it is imperative that
hey must use modern means of culture
nd spray the trees thoroughly, several
rchardists of Sussex county are buving
lrge spraying outfits. In the vicinity of
eaford, Selbyville and Nassau develop
lent companies have been formed and
everal hundreds of acres of land have
cen given over to apple culture.
Heavy rains have made the roads of
lie county in an almost impossible con-
ition, and as a consequence many farm 4
rs are not coming to town to do their Y
sual dealing. /
Now that Archdeacon Turner of Lewes ,
as rendered his resignation and is to
ave about April lst, for his new pas I
I, Way Cross, Georgia, there is every :
likelihood that the annual convention of \.
lie Episcopal Church of the Delaware I
iocese will not be held in the Break ;
ater town as was expected. Bishop Y
;nsman, it is said, will likely make an Z
lnouncement of the town in which the ,
invention will be held in the near fl-
re as the time for the holding Of the /
invention is not so far distant.
