1t has been wonderful the way in
which our town people have taken up
the use of electric current since it was
introduced as a comodity for our peo-
pie. Most all business places and
many residences are enjoying this
modern method for light and power
and business has grown steadily from
the start.
Thirty car loads of York Imperial
apples passed thru Clayton last week.
They were shipped from the apple
farm at Nassau to New York from
thence to England, where they sold at
$40 per barrel The farm was the
property of the late A. L. Burton of
Lewes. Now it is owned by a syndi-
cate.
The Ku Klux Klan held an initia-
tion between Smyrna and Clayton Fri
day night on a lot near "Hudson's"
Gate. The fiery cross was in evidence
and members in robes were watched
as they went thru the performance of
initiating several new candidates into
the mysteries of the order. 1t is said
that quite a few from Clayton and
Smyrna are members.
Citizens of the Delaneys' district
and the western part of Blackbird
dry issue and the prospect is there
will be more splitting of tickets at the
coming election than ever before.
Church people and those of pro-
nounced dry tendencies are anxious
to see dry men sent to the Legislature
and are leaving no doubt as to their
stand on the question irrespective of
politics.
The Town Commissioners have much
improve the entrance of Smyrna av-
enue into Main street by having new
curbs, better pavements and a grad
ed street. AS soon as funds are suf
ficiently available, Clayton hopes t.
improve its streets with a moderr
roadbed material. When the con
crete road from the Boulevard a
Smyrna is extended thru Clayton t.
the Maryland line on way to Milling
ton, and this road must come if tn,
upper part of Kent County is to ge
its share in the 1923 State Highwa,
program, Clayton viii have its Mail
street modern and up-to-date and witt
other streets put in modern repair
our town will take on much bette
appearance.
