LEVY COURT PROCEEDINGS

At the meeting of the Levy Court
last week County Agent M. C. Vaughn
was granted the privilege of placing
sign board in the corridor of the
courthouse for the purpose of adver-
tising farm produce. This is some
thing new in Sussex county and the
results will be watched with interest.
Because of the fact that the court
house is visited by many people each
day from different parts of the county.
the sign will undoubtedly be of bene-
fit.
Decision was made to make repairs
to Cedar Creek drawbridge. This
bridge was torn away by the Govern
ment officials during the building of
Fort Salisbury in order to allow
scOws to come up the stream and I'M
load material, as well as the guns.
The Government exacted of the coun-
ty officials to clear the stream of the
bridges which they claimed impeded
navigation and obstructed them in
their work at the fort. After the
bridge was torn away, it was found
that the boats coming up the stream
were small enough to pass through
without obstruction. When the work
at the fort was finished, another
bridge was built and since that time
the Levy Court has assumed response
bility for it, although it was not man
datory to do so.
Levy COurtman Lingo has been au-
thorized to sell the Titan 1880 trac-
tor which has been used for the past
four years in Cedar Creek district to
do work. Experience has taught the |
officials that the use of tractors in
road work in Sussex county is not a
paying proposition, because of the ex-
pense attached in the upkeep of the
machines, and the inability to get COM
petent men to handle them.
Many of the residents of Seaford
and Concord presented a petition for
the improvement of the Concord road
from the end of the Seaford-George-
town stone road. The petition was
signed by the representative citizens
in that section. The authorities will
likely make improvements to the road
provided they can get together sufi-
eient funds.

every restaurant and hotel, every retail establishment and in fact all kinds of busiess enterprises will profit in h legitimate way from the crowds who will attend the semi centennial celebration. That is put ting the matter on basis of dol lars and cents, of self-interest. In a larger sense, every citizen of Bir- mingham who wants to make the celebration creditable should feel it his duty to donate to the expense fund according to his means. If only one-fourth of Birmingham's population gave $1 each the commit tee would have more money than it needs.

Had a Great Time

Nothing has given us more pleas ure than the expressions of appre- citation we have had from the various organizations in regard to the picnic party the Birmingham Automobile club gave last week for the little dependent children of this city" said Charles c. Davis
 From every side we have been felicitated upon the pleasure we gave the youngsters and among the most enthusiastic expressions of apprecia- ton we have had was that from the Atheneum Orphans Home, Sister Jo- sephlne writing the Automobile club as follows:
 All the little boys and girls unite in thanking you and the other mem bers of the Birmingham Automobile club for the pleasure afforded them at East Lake park on Tuesday, Au- gust 16. The outing will long be the topic of the day; the bright balloons have special charm as they arc in evidence after full justice has been accorded ice cream cones and other edibles. All the Atheneum Orphans Home are unanimous in hoping that 1t is to become an annual affair. We thank every one who contributed in any manner to the pleasure of the children on that occasion and we as- sure you of our sincere appreciation of your kindness
