Service Flag Unfurled.

The handsome service flag, With
fifty stars for boys of the Sixth dis
trict called to the colors, was unfurl-
ed on Saturday afternoon last, from
the pole in front of the postofflce, in
this town, to the accompaniment of
singing and cheering by the small
number of people present. w. G..
Rooms made splendid address, and
the only feature of the occasion that
was not what it should have been,
was the handful of people present,
showing a shameful lack of interest
or patriotism on the part of our
citizens.
The banner is beautiful one and
has attached to it the Third and
Fourth Liberty Loan honor flags of
the Sixth district.

AN OLD HEARsE.
Helped With Peace Jubilee In
Kennett.


The following is reprinted from
the Kennett Square News and Ad
vertiser:
Few people who witnessed the
bonfire of the old hearse in Kennett
Square on Monday night week realiz
ed the many sacred memories that
clung about that outworn vehicle OF
grasped the significance of the blaz.
ing symbol. William H. Worrall
who has for years been the only
undertaken in the borough and who
is at 83 years of age possessed of re-
markable activity and a matchless
memory, recalled some interesting
"reminiscences of the sixty years SER
vice of this old hearse, when a cor
respondent stood looking at the
skeleton in the rear of the Worrall
property. A new auto hearse has
succeeded the ancient carriage
which was built about 1857, and had
borne over 1000 persons to their
last resting places in it's day. Chief
among these was the poet, traveller,
journalist, diplomat and novelist,
Bayard Taylor, whose remains ar
rived in this country from Germany
in March, 1878. The body of the
great townsman had been embalmed
in Berlin and was encased in an
hermetically sealed metallic casket
of huge size and weight. When it
arrived in New York there was no
hearse large enough to carry it, Mr..
Worrall says, and it had to be placed
on band wagon. When he learned
the dimensions of the casket he pro-
ceeded at once to make an extension
to his hearse and when he met the
train bearing the remains, Col
Charles B. Lamborn told him that
he had the best outfit they had found
since leaving Berlin. The hearse
was adorned with black plumes and
drapery and was drawn by four
handsome black horses to Longwood
cemetery. The cortege left Cedar
croft at II O'Clock, but owing to the
frightful condition of the roads did
not reach the cemetery until 1
O'Clock. On the casket lay wreath
of laurel, the gift of the late Em-
press of Germany to Americas cru
dite Ambassador to the Court of the
Hohenzollerns. Little did the awed
and saddened crowd on that March
day suspect the irony of fate that
awaited this stately hearse. Within
the space where a poet had lain, a
rude box, jeered by a rejoicing con-
course of people, was set in flames
during the towns celebration of
peace on Monday as a caustic re-
minder of what awaits autocracy
and tyranny

That PelryvilIe Plant.

There are many rumors as regards
the great plant at Perryville le,-some
of which are that the Dupont people
purpose to utilize it in turning out
their various products, while there
are persistent rumors, but which we
have beef unable to locate to any
responsible authority, that the Beth
lehem Steel Co., will take over the
entire plant and greatly enlarge it,
and furnish permanent employment
to thousands of men. It's proximity
to the coal fields, and water facilities
to receive ores from Cuba, would
make it an ideal location for a plant
of this kind, and magnitude is un-
observation-disclosures de Grace Re-

FINE COMMUNITY EXHIBIT.
Good Display and Interesting Meet
ing At West Nottingham.

ing AT West Nottingham.
The first annual Exhibit under the
auspices of West Nottingham Com
munity Club was held at West Not
ting Friday, Nov. %. The exhibits
were of the finest, including every
thing that a farmer. might raise,
from a stalk of parsley to a bale OF
hay; not only that, but the most
artistic needle work, and palatable
canned vegetables, jellies and pre-
serves.
The attendance was the largest
that ever assembled on the historic
grounds at West Nottingham.
The lectures given by leading
Agriculaurists and College Profes-
sors were most instructive and will
doubtless have their influence upon
the future progress of our rural life.
The members of the West Noting
ham Community Club are very en-
thusiastic over their achievements
and are already making arrange
ments to hold another exhibit next
fall that will eclipse any event of its
kind ever held in Cecil County.

MARYLAND WEEK MEETINGS.
December to 15-NO Exhibit To
Be Held-Meetings Only.

The plans for Maryland Week
this year have just been announced
by the Agricultural Society. They
embrace no radical changes over
those of last year,-in fact they
closely follow last years plans in
that no exhibit will be held, and
Maryland Week will consist of meet
ings only. The policy of the society
last year in encouraging community
exhibits in all sections of the State
was so successful that the same
course is being pursued this year.
By this means large body of farm
ers in various sections of the State
is being reached at a minimum OF
expense in time and labor.
An added feature of the Week,
however, will be the sessions of the
Southern Commercial Congress, rep
resenting the Southern States, and
the Allied War Exposition, held un-
der its auspices. This exposition
will be held in the Fifth Regiment
Armory, Baltimore, while the meet
ings will take place in the Hotel
Emerson auditorium.
Cooperating, the Director of the
Extension Service of the State Col
lege, the Secretary of the Society
and the Managing Director Of the
Congress have planned program
which will alike meet the high
standard of former Maryland Week
programs and adequately fill the re-
quirements for the Congress pro-
gram. This means that the Mary,
land Week meetings will become the
agricultural program for the Con-
gress. An excellent opportunity is
assured visitors to hear more agri-
culturally great men than have here
tofore been available for the regular
meetings.
The annual meetings of the vari-
Gus State associations will take place
on different days of the week, the
schedule being so arranged that con-
f1icts with other important and regu-
lar meetings will not occur. This

Association, and meetings for organ

ers.
The Allied War Exposition and
Southern States Exhibit for this
year will be given largely to e1npha-
sizing war industries, and will in
clude exhibits of the War Depart
ment, the Emergency Fleet Corpo-
ration, and the Agricultural Depart
ment, as well as exhibits by the vari-
GUS States representing their re-
sources in its territory.
The dates for the Maryland Week
meetings are December 9th to 18th
inclusive; and those of the Southern
Commercial Congress, December 9th
to 18th inclusive. This will be
most interesting week to every farm
er in Maryland. Everyone should
plan to spend day or two in Balti-
more during Maryland Week.
