CELEBRATE GOLDEN WEDDING

The following article was clipped
from a North Carolina paper, and IS
/ of interest to many persons residing
/ in Sussex County. Mr.. and Mrs.
Patton were formerly residents OF Mil
ford, where they still have a number
of friends. At the present time they
reside at Calypso, North Carolina.
/ The article follows:
Golden Wedding of Mr.. and Mrs. Well
lingtOn Patton.
Wednesday, February 7th, 1917, will
long be remembered by the children
of Mr.. and Mrs. Wellington Patton
as the Golden Wedding Day" OF their
parents.
Fifty years ago, Wellington Patton
and Ellen Francis Hancock were we'd
ded in Bridgeville, Delaware, he, as
one friend has written on this Occa-
sion, handsome, big and strong; she,
so dainty, winsOme and bright.
The strength and optimism of the
groom has never failed him, the beau
tiful cheerfulness, the kindliness of
disposition, the loving, helpful sym
pathy for those in distress, have en-
deared the bride of fifty years ago to
the host of friends who have known
her during these years.
God in his infinite wisdom, good
ness and mercy, has wonderfully
blessed them, and today they are
source of joy and comfort to those
VINO are so fortunate as to be num-
bered among their loved ones and
friends.
The day was fittingly celebrated by
a delighted gathering of children,
grandchildren and friends to the num-
ber of twenty-five, among whom were
Mr. and Mrs. Edwin Patten, Rock
vile Centre, NY; Rev. and Mrs.
Walter Patton. Chapel Hill. N. c.;
Mrs. H. Lloyd Faison, Norfolk, Va.
Mr.. and Mrs. Henry ]. Pope. Mount
Olive; Mr. and Mrs. Wellington F.
Patten and Mr.. and Mrs. ] R. Max
well, Calypso. One son, Charles H.,
of Providence, R. l., was unable to be
present, owing to illness. During the
day grouped photographs were taken
which will be priced mementOs of the
occasion.
Many letters of congratulatio1. and
kilograms were received, attesting to
the esteem and love for the couple,
who in their sprightliness and youth
fulness of spirit. are a constant re-
minder of the joys in store for those
happily welded.

A BILL has been introduced in the
State Senate of Delaware by Senator
Newton which, if it becomes a law,
will be of great benefit to all who buy
fertilizers and commercial manures
of any kind. The purpose of the bill
is to compel all manufacturers who
sell fertilizers in Delaware. to affix
plainly marked stamp to each bag
sold, which will state the actual avail
able plant food contained in the fer
tilizer per ton 1t has been custom
ary in the past to state on all bags
sold to farmers the amounts of the
various ingredients of the formula in
percentages, regardless of whether
they are available or not for plant
growth, and this we believe will be
beneficial to agriculturists every
where. But the bill goes further in
its provisions, and it creates and gives
to the State Board of Agriculture, the
authority to appoint a State Chemist,
whose duty will be to perform the
duties which have been that of the old
system, but who will not be permitted
to retain the twenty dollars fee charg-
ed for making analysis of the several
brands of fertilizers. Last year about
three hundred brands of fertilizer
were analyzed by the State Chemist at
Delaware College. and the fees went
to that official, and the State Treasury
received no part thereof. This bill
will cut the fee to one dollar for each
brand of fertilizer, and impose a tax
of ten cents for each ton manufactur-
ed or sold in Delaware. The Secre-
tary of the State Board of Agriculture
will be charged with the duty of draw
ing samples of fertilizers to be analyz-
ed, and these will form the basis of
analysis of the plant food available in
commercial manures sold in Delaware
It looks like a good bill to become a
law, as it protects the farmer against
plausible percentage formulas which
are not actually available as plant
food, and relieves to some extent, the
fees which have heretofore been ex-
acted by the State Chemist, and which
fees did not go into the public treas
ury. Copies of the bill can be had by
addressing Senator Newton. It is
short, practical. and should be benefi-
cial to all concerned.

A TRIBUTE TO GEORGE S. ADKINS

When a good man dies whose char
acter has been Incompatible in beau
ty and in strength, and who has serv-
ed a large usefulness flowing from the
clements of character, the town in
which he was born places his name
upon it's roll of honor and in the list
Of its most sacred dead.
Such a man was George S. Adkins,
VINO was born in Milford sixty-eight
years ago. and who, though he left
his town when only seventeen years
OF age, returned often to visit his
friends, and remained to the end one
of Delawares loyal sons.
He was for forty-eight years a mem
Der of the wholesale linen firm of Ad-
kins, White and Sholl, and to his bus
mess he brought the intelligence
faithfulness and probity that crowned
it with honor and success.
But such was the ideality of his ma
ture that he trod paths leading to
pastures not often given men of bus
mess to seek, where his mind fed up
on the best that has been written in
all time, and where his spirit drank
from deep wells of uiet joy.
His fullest usefulness to the larg-
est numbers came through his cOnse-
Grafton of himself to an active Chris
tian life. For sixteen years he was
president of the Brotherhood of And
rev and Phillip of the Calvary NJ. E.
Church, and to that work he brought
a marvellous intuition, born from the
wealth of love within him for the
Father of us all and for His children
of the earth.
AS we sat in beautiful Calvary
church and listened to what had been
his way with the hearts and lives of
the men of the Brotherhood, of the
trustees, and of the women of the
Bible class, and saw them in long
line passing to look upon their be-
loved dead, we knew that the golden
words portrayed most truly a man
whose like we should never see again. /
But only those could know this !
mans distinction who were sharers /
also of his home life; who had walk |
ed with him among his flowers; who |
had received from his gracious heart |
its overflow of humor, imagination,
loyalty and tenderness. NAB. /

IN ANOTHER column of this paper
is printed the main features of the
proposed law to raise additional re-
venue for the State by creating a
graduated inheritance tax. 1t is a
stern fact-that Delaware must have
more money to maintain the public
schools, to build permanent roads, to
maintain the many and increasing de-
mands of charity. To get this, there
has to be a new deal and distribution
as to the taxing of property. Farms
and personal property, in the shape of
live stock, have carried the load until
now the burden cannot be made any
greater for them. and. the imposing
of a graduated inheritance tax will be
a sure and fair sharing of the burthen.
If this bill becomes a law. in a few
years Delaware will have thru the
immutable laws of nature, several mil
lions of dollars placed in her treas
ury. With this, and a tax placed up
on stocks, bonds and mortgages, Del
aware will have all that is asked for
in the shape of better teachers in her
schools, better school buildings, and
real concrete roads all over each coun
ty. These are good laws to pass.
They are working well in other states
and Delaware needs the money.

State Auditor Of Delaware, which has

WE NEED money for many char

certainly looks like wilful waste to
spend $4,000 for the legislature to at
tend the ceremonies of the inaugura-
tion on March 5th, in Washington, af-
ter the President has again taken the
oath of office. Is there not one Dem
ocrat in the legislature big enough to
strike vigorously at this waste of pub
lie money?
