DESTRUCTIVE
FIRE AVERTED
At Home Of E. w. Dawson,
Near Elkton

A fire which narrowly escaped
being a very destructive one,
burned a portion of the dwelling
house of E. w. Dawson mile and
a half from Elkton on Friday
evening, February a. The fire or
iginated in floor beam, adjoining
a stove pipe which passed through
the floor to the room a'pove where
it entered the chimney. II had evil
IDENTIFY been burning slowly for
hours but it was not discovered
until the flames ate through the
siding of the house. The Elkton
fire company responded quickly to
a call, and were at the house and
at work in ten minutes from the
time the alarm was given. They
fought the fire with the aid of
their new chemical engine ard for
two and a half hours worked
hard to subdue it. When the
flames spread to the attic it look
ed as if the house was doomed and
the firemen carried the furniture
to place of safety. Mr.. and Mrs.
Dawson feel that too much praise
cannot be awarded the fremen
for their promptitude, courtesy
and carefulness.

Moon Passes Over Sun

The first eclipse of the sun Wis
ible in this community since May
28, 1900, occurred last Thursday,
when for an hour and fifteen min
utes the lower portion of the sun
was obscured by the passage of
the moon. In parts Of Central and
South America and the Atlantic
Ocean the eclipse was total.
The eclipse began in this sec
ton of the world at 1914 o'clock,
when a small dark speck appeared
on the lower edge Of the Sum-, 1t
gradually grew larger until at
11.22 o'clock forty-eight one-hun-
dredths of the surface of the sun
was obscured. The eclipse ended
at 12.39 o'clock.
Few people in this locality were
conscious of the passage of the
moon.

Carnival Date Announced

When the history of Newark is
written, the hustling activities of
the Aetna Fire Company will oc-
cupy one of the leading chapters.
A few years ago, facing a COM
munity of Can't-be-Dones, they
started a Street Carnival for the
benefit of Fire Engine. Contin-
uing the first success each year
since, the event has almost be-
come a Newark Institution. Our
citizens are interested, always, to
hear Carnival plans and certainly
it has put Newark on the map in
Wilmington and rural Castle.
The date for next summers car
nival was fixed at a recent meet
ing-from July 29th to August 5tf
inclusive.

ABRAHAM LINCOLN

He grows further from with the years.
Rather, time draws him closer; and our tears
Well free though 'twere yesterday he died,
Spreading a cureless nation wide.
All of the things that can be have been said:
"Fathomless eyes," "kind lips and craggy head"
"Quaint humOr," awkward figure mOnstrOus tall'-
Yet that remains which may say at all.
The mystic in him--whO may lend it name?
The charm of him that gave him more than fame!
Scarce human seems the person that might doubt him;
And none may read dry eyed ten lines about him.
