The Fred Hope Farm, west of
Dover, was sold last week to Conard
Keller, who recently sold his farm
near Rising Sun to Soper & Son. Mr.
Keller will take possession of his new
farm about December 5th.
C. Burton Sypherd, formerly with
the State Highway Department, has
accepted the position of commercial
representative of Kent County for the
Diamond State Telephone Company.
He began his duties last week.
Rev. ]. w. Colona, pastor of Wes-
ley Church, Dover, while crossing the
street Wednesday evening stepped off
the pavement into hole in the street,
and strained the ligaments in his
right ankle and is unable to get
around.
Dover has curiosity in the shape
of a most beautiful specimen of the
Caladium plant, commonly called
elephant ear in bloom, a most rare
occurrence of this plant, which is one
of the largest ever seen. 1t is in the
front lawn of Mr.. and Mrs. w. P.
Satterield, on North State street.
Owing to the shortage of sugar the
makers of sorghum molasses are con-
sidering making brown sugar instead
of letting all the sorghum go into
syrup. The old plan was to charge
growers a certain percentage of the
molasses for their pay. Now the
growers are paying a fixed sum for
making molasses, and then having it
boiled longer to let sugar settle at the
bottom.
Kent County Farm Bureau, in it's
drive to be launched November 8, will
have as the main feature the award
ing of pure bred big type poland
China pig for securing the largest
number of members during the drive.
This offer has been possible through
the generosity of Jacob Way of East
Dover Community, the pig coming
from his farm in Indiana. The sire
of this pig weighs 1000 pounds.
Two homes on South Broad street
Middletown, were entered by burglars
on Saturday night, Oct. 1S or early
Sunday morning but little loot was
secured, the robbers apparently being
after money. The residence of Mrs.
George w. Lockwood was entered by
a cellar window, where, we learn $12
in money was secured, nothing else
being missing. D. w. Stevens resi-
dence was entered by a window left
insecure, but nothing was missing, the
robbers confning their operations en-
tirely to the first fioor-kitchen, liv-
ing room and library. Who the rob-
bers were is a mystery, but it is sup
posed they were strangers to our
town, as one of our young men on his
way home ran. across two tough"
looking men on Green street who
acted as if they wanted to keep out
of sight. No arrests have been made
as yet.
