A shooting affair which occurred
near Hartley Thursday night, around
which there was somewhat of mys-
terry was reported to the state author
tiles at Dover. An investigation

that locality. who has lived there for
seven or eight years, was shot in the

the story of both Schulz and Mrs.

the Schulz home until Thursday after
noon. Cook took the train, but re-
turned that night. Shortly after 10
O'Clock Schulz, hearing a noise on the
back porch went to the door, and as

range, the ball entering the left
breast less than two inches over the
heart. DIR. ]. R. Smith was sum-
moned. but after probing sometime
failed to locate the bullet and ordered

URGES FARMERS TO GROW HAY
County Agent ZimmerIY Urges Kent
Farmers and Makes a Demonstration

County Agent ZimmerIY Urges Kent
Farmers and Makes Demonstration
County Agent H. H. Zimmerly is
conducting a campaign to interest
farmers of the county to increase the
production of hay, including alfalfa,
vetch and scarlet clover. To assist
in this line and show just what is
possible, a demonstration was held
last Saturday on the farms of General
Alden R. Benson and Daniel o. Hast
ings near Dover. At the Hastings
farm large field of veteh, scarlet
clover and wheat all growing to-
gether was shown. This proved an
interesting sight to the many farmers
who visited the farm. The growth
in places was more than five feet in
height. Several years ago the field
where the combination is growing was
practically an unproductive piece of
land. The combination makes an ex-
cellent feed for cattle. 1t was
planted last October and will be har-
vested ina few days. General Benson
will put the same field in corn. The
two fields were inspected by many
farmers from all parts of the country
and will no doubt prove an incentive
for them to also try these crops.

Negro Unconscious for Two Hours
His Horse Partly Paralyzed
Samuel Hynson, a negro, living near
Odessa, was struck by lightning dur
ing the heavy storm which passed
over that section Sunday evening and
lay for several hours in a partly un-
conscious condition. Hynson was
making a call on a woman in a tenant
house on the farm of Elias N. Moore
when the storm came up. He was
travelling in team which was hitched
under a tree, to which was attached
wire clothesline. AS the storm
broke, Hynson sought to move the
team to a place of safety, and was in
the act of untying the horse when the
lightning came down the clothesline,
and struck the tree. Both Hynson
and the horse were felled. A physician
was summoned and worked more tn an
an hour before Hynson showed signs
of consciousness. The horse lay on
the ground for two hours and is still
partially paralyzed.

TO-DAY is DECORATION DAY"
Grand Army Veterans Held Their An
nual Services at Cemeteries This
Morning Graves Decorated.

To-day is Decoration Day and pretty
much observed as holiday in Smyrna.
The banks and schools are closed and
merchants this year closed their stores
for the whole say After several days
of cloudy, rainy weather, the morning
dawned clear and beautiful with a
flood of sunshine. This brought about
much activity in the beautiful custom
OF decorating the graves and autos
and friends carrying baskets of flow
ers were seen vending their way to
the cemeteries from every direction.
The cemeteries never looked cleaner
than to-day. The grass had been cut
and looking fresh and green from the
recent rains, they presented neat
appearance. AS usual the Grand
Army veterans, members of General
W. S. Hancock Post, No. 20, G. A.
R, of Smyrna, had the center of the
stage of action. These old veterans,
reduced from thriving Post to only
about seven members. met at their
post room at 9 o'clock and accom-
panied by the Boy Scouts of Smyrna,
the chorus singers and speakers,
toured in automobiles around to the
cemeteries. They We're unable, ow-
ing to their advanced years to marc h
IN a body, neither were they able to
form a firing squad to "fire the sa-
lutte" over the graves of their fallen
comrades. 1t was an impressive
sight to witness these old soldiers paw
their tribute of honor, love and es-
TEEN. In a few years the Grand
Army Veterans of the civil war will
be no more. Death has made big in
roads into the ranks of even the
Smyrna Post in the last few years.
They are fast answering the ''last roll
call. These thoughts were upper
most in the minds of the crowds that
gathered in the cemeteries to witness
their services. Rev. George C. Will
liams gave an eloquent address at Odd
Fellows Cemetery and Rev. Milton Nc
Cam at Glenwood. The Post selected
three singers from the choirs of each
of Smyrna's four churches. They
were lead by Rev. Thomas Getz Hill
and rendered patriotic songs and Sc
lections at the cemeteries. Garland
OF flowers were strewn on the graves.

Register of Wills Isaac R. Brown
Wednesday afternoon admitted to pro-
bate the will of DR.. James Harvey
Spruance the well known Wilmington
physician and native Smyrna boy who
died week ago. Letters testamentarv
were granted to the Equitable Trust Co.
The petition filed in the registers
Office estimated the value of the es-
tate at S105, 600, of which $50, 900
is in real estate and SIS, 600 in per-
sonal property. Included in the estate
are SO dwellings in Wilmington and a
large apartment house at Wildwood.
N. j. DR.. Spruance also had an in
terest in the drug business and was
connected with q syndicate engaged
in the development of Ashley and
other suburban tracts. 1t is thought
the market value of the real estate
may exceed the estimated value con-
siderably. DR.. Spruance directed
that the real estate be converted into
cash as soon as possible. His widow,
Emma A. Spruance, is to be paid
$500 Immediately for household ex-
penses. So long as she remains un-
married she will receive one-hlaf of
the income of the estate, but should
she remarry her allowance would be
reduced to one-third of the income.
She also is bequeathed the household
goods and the medical library. The
two children, Marion A. Spruance
and James Harvey Spruance, Jr., are
given the other half of the income.
Should they die without issue their
share would go to DR.. Spruance's
three brothers, William E., Gilbert
and Harry D. D.Spruance. His mother,
Mrs. Martha Voshell Spruance, and
his sister, Mrs. Anna w. Jones, of
Philadelphia, formerly of Smyrna,
will receive annuities of $500 and
$500, respectively. The sisters an
nuity would be increased to $500
should she survive her mother.
