Donations that have been received

HENRY DUTTON DIES FROM INJURIES

Injuries which he received on Sat
urday, July 1, when he was thrown
from a sulky. proved fatal to Henry
Dutton, aged 63 years, at the Della
ware Hospital, in Wilmington, on
Thursday, July 13. Mr. Dutton was
one of the best known negro h0rsemen
in Delaware and surrounding states.
His death was a great shock to his
relatives and a large circle of friends.
He was thrown from a sulky in such
a manner that he struck his head on
the track 1t was thought that he had
suffered a rupture of the spinal cord,
but this was not shown in an X-ray
examination. The head injuries, how
ever, proved sufficient to cause death.
Dutton was at one time a trainer
for the late Col. A. Small of Lincoln
City. His advice had often been
sought by older men. and those who
were younger than he admired and re-
spected him highly. He was an active
member of EziOn NJ E. Church, where
he was a member of the official board,
at one time holding the Office of treas
urer. He is survived by his wife, three
daughters-Rae, who has dressmak-
ing establishment at 223 West Elev-
enth street, Wilmington; Blanche
Dutton, a teacher in No. q school;
Mrs. Bessie Plenty-and two sons.
Mr.. Dutton was held in the highest
esteem by all who knew him. He was
as a man with honest
and sincere purposes, and of tactful
ability.
The body was brought to Lincoln
City on Monday morning last, and the
funeral was held from the Methodist
Church, where he was a consistent
member for most of the early years
Of his life.
Henry Dutton was gentleman in
whatever position he was thrown, and |
his word was sufficient evidence in |
any statement of its truth.

BOARD OF HEALTH

/ The regular monthly meeting Of the
Board Of Health was held on Friday,
July 7th. The Health officer, Herbert
Cooper, reported that all complaints
of nuisances which had been referred
to him by the Board of Health had
since been remedied. Forty written
official notices which were served by
the Health Officer, because of gross
neglect in maintaining sanitary con-
ditions, brought immediate results,
since the re-inspection of the prem
ises where these nuisances existed
showed that they had all been attend
ed to, in accordance with the require
ments of the Board of Health.
A list Of all properties that are not
connected with the public sewer is be-
ing made and wherever it is found that
sewer connections have not been
made, the Board will require the own
er of such properties to make the nee
essary sewer connections In some
cases, where the owners of property
have been notified to connect with the
sewer, this has already been done, and
notices have been served on a number
of others. This is a very important
matter, as far as the health of the
town is concerned, and the Board of
Health proposes to carry out this re-
quirement in all cases.
There is a town ordinance relating
to weeds, which requires that any
owner or tenant of any vacant lot
shall not allow weeds to grow or rub
bish to collect on such property. The
Health officer has been busy ordering
all weeds and rubbish to be removed
from all vacant lots, and this cam
paign will be continued by the Board
of Health.
good many requests for infOrma
ton regarding garbage disposal have
been received by the Board Of Health.
On account of the lack of funds, it is
impossible to inaugurate a systematic
garbage disposal this year. There are
a few garbage collectors who are now
making collections of garbage which
they use for feeding hogs, but the
number making these collections is to-
tally inadequate for proper garbage
disposal Under the circumstances,
all those persons who are not having
regular collections made by one of
these collectors are advised that the
best plan is to either burn the garbage
or to bury it on their property or on
one of the public dumps. Garbage
should not be thrown around on the
ground, since this is a distinct menace
to health. If everyone will cooperate
with the Board in regard to the dis
posal of garbage, it will result in
improvement. The only
way in which the garbage and refuse
nuisance can ever be eliminated is
for the Town of Milford to have an
incinerating plant The Board of
Health is now making an investiga-
ton of such plants and is trying to get
plans and estimates on the cost of the
plant and the cost of operation. II
his investigation shows that such a
5cheme would be both advisable and
in a town of the size of |
Milford, recommendations will be
,lade for the construction of such a
liant.

TO PLAY HURLOCK and NOT SEAFORD

Owing to the fact that Seaford has
entered the Peninsula League, they
were obliged to cancel the game
scheduled with the Caulk Club at Mil
ford, tomorrow. This date will be
filled. however, by the fast Hurlock
nine. Hurlock is in the center of
baseballdom of the lower peninsula
and has been playing fast games with
Seaford, Salisbury and Cambridge.
Judging from Hurlocks playing this
season, this should be an interesting
game.

rs it folly?" disputed Lucia Ross,
with her own particular chum and
confidant, Nellie Parr. 'Mr. OAR

best of all, happy. There can be no
false philosophy to system that

why, quite a champion, aren't
you?" cried Nellie, and noted the
speedy flush on the fair face of her
companion and wondered.
At that very moment the subject
of this conversation was helping a
friend, Ralph Waring, into an. auto
mobile in front of the Office of the
principal lawyer of Newton. There
was a strong contrast between the
two men-Ned, clear-eyed, the pic
ture of health and attractiveness,
with his athletic frame and hand
some face; Ralph, frail and walking
and looking like what he was - of
delicate constitution and not fitted
for harsh contact with a rough
world.
THE finest day of my lifew de-
clared Ned, and the air seemed to
vibrate with the worthiness and sin
cerity of his words
The other clasped his hands as he
stepped into the machine. He looked
into the earnest, eager face of Ned,
tears in his eyes, his voice tremulous
with genuine emotion.

man to say it! You have robbed your

Save The Best For Seed.

All cotton is not good cotton.
Some varieties have the ability
to produce from 1920 to $500
per acre more than others, &C.
cording to results of the Arkan-
sas Experiment Station. This
difference has largely been
brought about by careful selec-
ton of planting seed. Under
the usual farming conditions in
Arkansas cotton deteriorates very
rapidly from year to year because
of failure to select the best seed
and because of admixture at
time of ginning. This deterior-
alton can be overcome and cot
ton can be improved by careful
seed selection. Choose next
years planting seed while the
crop is still in the field. Have
good pickers go over the field
ahead of the regular force and
save the best bolls from the best
plants, choosing from those that
show ability to yield; also watch
for earliness and watch for size
Of boil and watch for storm re-
sistance. Get the best, get
enough of the best to make at
least one bale, have this ginned
free from admixture and save
the seed for planting purposes.
If by practicing such selecting
only two hollis are added to each
stalk, it will mean an increase
of $500 per acre in the returns
the following year. Good seed
selection pays big profits.

Big Exhibits of Farm Pro

Merchants and Business Men Offering
Prizes and Every Man, Woman and
Child Should Take Part

On Tuesday, October 81, 1916,
the first Woodruff County Fair
will be held in McCrory. We
are anxious that this day be
made one of the biggest and
most profitable days our county
has ever known, and it can be
made so by every citizen doing
his part.
One of the main features of
the Fair will be the exhibits of
the Boys Corn and Pig Clubs
and the Girls Canning Club.
However, every man, woman
and child in the county is asked
to prepare something to put on
exhibition; a nice selection of
farm products, a jar of canned
fruit or vegetables, a glass of
Jelly, pound of butter, a fine
calf or hog, or pen of good
chickens would make a nice ex-
hlbit. II you have anything
just a little better than your
nelghbor's, send or bring it to
the Fair.
One feature that will be of in
terest to the ladies will be the
Fancy work department where
there will be on display the many
different specimens of women's
work.
VI unusual interest will be the
homemade labor saving devices
such as the freless cooker, ice
