growth Of Methodism on the penin-
sula, and in some respects il has
been a very successful year. In
Smyrna no changes are expected un-
less Rev. w. E. Matthews should be
transferred from Smyrna Circuit. Mr..
Matthews is completing his fourth
year with a splendid record and though
he has been invited back. it IS like
ly. at his own request. that he vii
be given a better and larger place
probably a station. Mr.. Matthew
feels now the additional responsible
ity of educating his boy and in nj
desire for a better paying place n
has the best wishes of his many friend
] Of this vicinity. Despite this man
: are hoping he will be sent back wher
Z he is popular with all his appoint
: ments. Rev. Parry is ending his sec
4 ond year and as he has been invite

also a rumor that Rev. l. G. Fosnoch

The meeting of March 22nd was
opened with good number in attend
ance. nearly all of the officers being
present. After the roll call and min
utes read by the secretary and the
regular order of business there was
lively discussion of the how, when,
and where Of entertainment Of the
county pomona next Fall. Our new
Grange Hall is. as yet, a thing of
theory rather than fact; therefore
more perplexities arise than with
some of our more fortunate Sister
Oranges. A more pleasing feature
of the lectures program was a quar-
tette selection beautifully rendered
from the Grange Hymn book The
Topic for discussion was, SHOULD
not the county criminals be kept at
home TO work the county roads Y. &.
Every one present seemed to be Of
an affirmative opinion and to think
that Kent County had as much need
and would appreciate gOod roads fully
as much as New Castle. The meet.
ing closed in order. Next weeks

WATER WORKS FOR REHosoTH
Decision at Election Overwhelmingly in
Favor of Much Needed Improvement


Favor of Much Needed Improvement
Rehoboth will not have another fire
if the property owners can prevent it.
As result Of the recent blaze that
destroyed the center of the seashore
resort. an election held Saturday to
ratify bond issue Of $50. 600 for the
establishment Of water works was ov-
erwhelmingly in favor of the impro-
vement. One hundred and seventy
three votes were cast in support of
the bond issue. ten more than ever
cast at an election there before.
The votes were on a basis of one dol
lar of taxation. The total taxation
voted therefore was 81, 529 in favor
of the water system and Sll against
the Improvement. Il has not been
learned, at a late hour, who cast the
opposing votes. The total taxation in
Rehoboth is So. 00O A strange fea-
ture in connection with the election
was that many of the residents did
not vote. most Of the votes being cast
on proxies sent from property owners
who lived elsewhere. The Board OF
Public Works hopes TO have the plant
in operation early in June. A wei
has been driven a depth of 173 fee
and a good flow of water has beer
secured. It is proposed TO sink fOu
wells in order to get flow of sil
hundred gallons Of water minute il
necessary.
