beauty for lovers of flowers. Hundreds
of blooms will be entered.
Boys and Girls Clubs from all over
the state have entered the lists of con-
testants and their demonstration work
will be big features of the exhibit.
The Horse Show will be one of the
most attractive affairs ever arranged
and scores of the finest horses in the
country will be among the competitors.
The horse races the first four days
of the week will afford the classiest
tro' ting and pacing races ever seen at
any Fair. On Friday afternoon thrill
ing automobile matches will provide the
pep that can be found in no ether mode
of sport.
Vaudeville and band programs each
day free of charge and in addition there
will be plays and athletic demonstra.

attempted before. The success of the
Delaware State Fair is assured.

OBITUARY
ToarnSsnd Correspondent
James L. Dickinson

James l.. Dickinson, a wel-known
business man and an extensive land
owner of lower New Castle county,
died at the Medico-Chi Hospital, Phila-
delphia, at 10 o'clock on Tuesday night.
after an illness of several months du-
ration, death being due to kidney
trouble. When he first became ill early
in the summer he went to the hospital
for treatment and was apparently SO
materially helped by the medical skill
and attention given at the institution
that he decided to come home, believing
that his condition would continue to i'm
prove, but after remaining here for a
few weeks he suddenly become worse
again and was compelled to return to
the hospital for treatment, going back
to the institution about ten days ago.
His condition steadily grew worse.
Passing into an unconscious state the
aged resident survived but few hours
and the end came to relieve his suffer
ing at the hour above stated.
Mr.. Dickinson who was a good pro-
gressive citizen, was always ready to
lend helping hand to any deserving
cause and this way he had gained the
friendship of many who felt his kind
ness with more than passing interest.
He was real friend to all and this
noble character site endeared him to
legions of friends in this community.
AS citizen he advocated many i'm
provements to the town, also conduct
ing several enterprises that gave en-
ployment to as many of our residents
as the business itself would permit.
Although his death was not unexpected
it gives his friends great shock and
will cause deep regret to all who knew
him. About 40 years ago, Mr.. Dickin-
son came to Townsend from Whining
ton and embarked in the hotel business.
His popularity and method of doing
business so favorabiy impressed the
public, that prosperity crowned his eff
forts from the start, and his wel-mer-
tied success knew no bounds for many
years. The travelling statesmen and
others stopping at the hostelry all re.
garded him as a true friend as well as d
first-claSs business man. Mr.. Dickin.
son was 10 years of age and is survived
by one son, j. Leonard Dickinson. His
wife, Mrs. Mary Dickinson, died 3C
years ago.
The funeral will take place at one
o clock this Saturday afternoon from
his residence on Railroad avenue anc
will be conducted by the Rev. George
2. Jones. Lester Daniels will be r
charge of the funeral. Interment will
be made in the Townsend NJ. E. GENE

Mail Receptac'es
FIRST ASST. POSTMASTER GENERAL
Washington, August l6, 1922.

L
Washington, August l6, 1922
Mail receptacles save the carriers
time and hasten deliveries. 1t is there
fore our desire to have suitable recep-
tacle of some character at every resi-
dence, and if possible, at business
houses.
The absence of mail receptacle not
only tends to inconvenience the patron,
but estionably results in inferior
service through delaying the carrier on
his route.
In the circumstances carrier delivery
service should not be extended to any
new dwelling not equipped with suit
able receptacle.
When patron changes his residence
he will be required to provide a recep-
tacle at his new address before being
accorded delivery service.
