After you feel that you have cured

SUSSEX FOR BOTTLEGGERs.
Not Much Chance to Smuggle Liquor
into Georgetown These Days.

Possibly there is no place in Sussex
county as free of "bootleggers" and
speakeasies as Georgetown. The rea-
son for this is possibly due to the
corps of officers, county and state Off
cials. The sheriff, county deputy at
torney general, two justices of the
peace, besides the mayor and police
force, live there. With such an aggre-
cation of officials it is a difficult it

ish for any length of time. In the
towns in the western section of the
county, near the Maryland line, hav-
ing no officers with the possible ex-
ception of a constable and mayor, it
is not so difficult to traffic in liquor.
Usually the colored element of the
towns in that section get their sup
plies shipped in some town in Mary
land from Baltimore and smuggle the
"frewater" across the State line late
at nights. Since Sussex county has
been "bone dry" most of the cOnsign-
ments from Baltimore have been
made to points in Dorchester and
Caroline counties. Until recently law
abiding citizens who desire to avail
themselves of the privilege of getting
their morning smiles," would have
shipments made to fredericksburg, but
it is understood that a ruling has been
made that no more shipments can be
made to that point, and now the
"wets," it is understood, have turned
their attention to other points a short
distance from the State line.

Delaware Pioneer Band Best in Franc,

Delaware Pioneer Band Best in France
The Delaware Pioneer Band has
been acclaimed, as the result of
heated contest, the best band among
all those who are over in France.
News comes by letter, that in a con-
test held a few weeks ago at Toule,
in which all the army bands partici-
pated, the band from the Diamond
State, under Bandmaster Harry M.
Brubaker, won the palm, or laurel
leaf, or whatever decoration it is they
give super-superior bands. And now
a captain has made them promise two
weeks more to the army, after they
are mustered out of service, to go
touring around the State of Delaware,
and show Delawareans what a real
band is. And the boys are willing,
and have signed up for the tour. AS
reward for their excellence in play
ing, all the band members were given,
beginning March II, two weeks hol-
iday at Nice, three-day journey
away from quarters.
