WOULD REMAIN IN BUSINESS
Old Doctor Jones Evidently Was Sat lsfied That He Could Read Ills
 Own Writing.

Old Doctor Jones, who once prac- ticed medicine In a New Jersey town, was known everywhere as a notorious ly bad speller. He slipped up on tLs simplest words. and people wondered how he managed to write prescrip- tions, especially in medical Latin, so that they could be read and under stood. Though the Doc" as he was called, could not spell, he was, never theless, accounted a good physician and his patients swore by him. He sent his prescriptions regularly to n certain druggist in the town because this man was the only druggist who could read them. How the druggist succeeded in doing it was a mystery to every one.
 Everything went we'll for a long time, then one day the druggist was taken i'll and died. His funeral was largely attended and Doctor Jones was one of the principal mourners. What will become of Doe" now? Who will he get to read his prescrip- tions? were questions on every one's lips. It was pretty generally agreed that the future looked black for the physician. but this man who spelled rheumatism "rumatiz" was not to be discouraged. The day after the obse- quies of the druggist the following announcement printed in long-hand, appeared in the window of the phar- macy: ''Dr. Jones has bought this dru0 sforo uo uyflI onpfIuuo fhoS hfa- ness and fill prescripshons hisself."

by the Levy Court Commissioners, at

Mr.. Hill took short course in engi-
neering at Delaware College, but new
er graduated, and it was because of
the fact that he is not graduate en-
gineer that the commissioners could
not elect him for the remainder of the
term. The law for Sussex county re-
quires that the head of the road de-
partment must be a graduate of a re-
putable engineering school and have
at least two years experience in prac-
tical road building.
