cises, DR.. H. G. Budd made a report
of the possibilities of this further ad-
vance.
REV. A. G. CUMMINS PRAISED
Rev. of Christ Church, POughkeepsie, e,
Former Smyrna Boy, to the Front

Writing of preachers and choirs of
New York, the Rev. James Sheerin in
The Southern Churchman, says:-
"One of our best endowed New York
preachers is the Rev. Karl Reiland, D.
D., rector of st. Georges, made so ia
nous by Drs. Tying and Rainsford. He
has lately been afflicted with serious
throat trouble, and is ordered by ply
sicians to refrain from public speaking
for several months. The Rev. Wythe
KinsOlving is cooperating with the
other parochial clergy in securing emf
nent preachers. On recent Sunday
he introduced the evAlexander Girls
void Cummins, Lit. d., as "editor of
the Chronicle and one of the chief
clergymen of the Diocese" This is
true. DR.. Cummins seems to have
made enemies through his frank and
direct treatment of the problems of
churchmanship, but he has also made
many friends by straightforward can
dor. One of these admirers declares
! that while he cannot agree with some
! of DIR. Cummins ways and views, tina:
he is nevertheless one of the kindliest
and truest Christian gentlemen in the
Church, who only speaks out so boldly
as he does in his periodical because {
mistaken silence has given altogether
too much leeway to partisan aggres
siveness on the other side fundamen
tally hurtful to the Church. He is ad
mittedly the ablest debater on the foo
of the Diocesan Convention, and mucl
of its best work in the last decade i
credited to his aggressive clear-headet
leadership. In st. Georges pulpit
which stands out so conspicuously il
front of the middle aisle, he was
commanding figure, and his powerful
voice was clearly heard in every par
of the great building. His subject wa
practical and Christian, based on 81
Peters words as to putting oppositio
6 to silence by we'll doing. A cloak @
extreme ritual and difficult theolog
! had too often been set in place of we
doing, and the great need is to retur
to the method of Him who went abou
doing good, and cared little for form
alness either in thought or worship

COMING EVENTS AT NEWARK
Farmers Day" and Meeting of the
Boys and Girls Club at University

Two events will be held at the Uni
versity of Delaware during August
which will be of special interest to
farmers and their families throughout
the state. Dean Charles A. McCue,
head of the Agricultural Department
has set August 3, for the annual
Farmers Day" when every granger
of the state is invited to visit the uni
versity farm and spend the day in
specting the crops, stock, fruit and
learn of experiments that are being
carried on in the interest of the farm
ers. Those connected with the de-
partment want to make this the most
interesting event in the line ever held
at the university and are hoping for
a record attendance. Many of the Wis
itors will bring basket lunches and re-
main all day. The program will in
clude addresses by experts in agricul-
tural lines. State Club Leader A. d.
Cobb is making the final plans for the
Boys and Girls Club Week to be held
from August to II inclusive. 1t is
expected that more than 100 young
club members from various parts of
the state will attend and special
program is being arranged. In the
past the club week has been held dur
ing the Christmas holidays. The
change is made because of the fact OF
there being so much more for the fu-
ture farmers to see and learn during
the summer season.

For the first time in the history of
Kent County and probably the first
time in the State, women served on a
coroner's jury, at Dover, Wednesday.
Of the seven jurors four were women.
One of the women acted as foreman
and another as secretary of the jury
and they conducted the proceedings in
every way as we'll as men could have
done. The case was that of Joseph
Raymond,an Italian who dropped dead
! at his farm in West Dover Wednesday
! morning. The virdict was that death
was due to acute Indigestion. Those
on the jury were Misses Nellie Find
lay Downs, Irene Frazier, Josephine
Gregory and Flo Dunka and Joseph
Boyles, Mariana Leggio and Vincente
Bonfante. Miss Downs was foreman.
Options have been taken on about
twenty-five acres of land at State
street and Walker road, Dover, where
it is proposed to lift the grade of the
Wesley Collegiate Institute until it
reaches the full college grade, and
this college development to be taken
care of on the new site. The track
of land in question with a frontage on
Silver Lake and within half mile of
the present campus, is believed to be
an ideal site for the future growth OF

Hunting Way to Pen
To Serve l8 Months

Mister, are you going to Jack
SOM" asked a couple of rather nice
looking young men of o. o. Hill, on
the train coming from Meadville to
Brookhaven Friday morning. "Yes"
replied Mr.. Hill. Wish you'd show
us where to find the. state peniten-
tiary, if you please" begged the
boys. When Mr.. Hill looked his sur
prise the boys explained that they
had just been sentenced to IS months
in the state pen for making moon
shine whiskey, and were on their
way to report to the warden at jack
son.
The boys are Harvey Nettles and
Jim Jones, apparently not more than
22 years old, and they knocked
round Brookhaven from the time
their train came in from Meadville
until the noon train on the l. C.
took them to Jackson-and eighteen
months confinement.
One of them expressed a hope that
they would draw Parchman as the
place to do their sentence, as they
would have to pick cotton if sent
there.
Mr., Hill who now lives in Jack
son, but whose home was formerly
in Meadville, and where he was call
ed on account of the death of his
brother, promised to show them how
to get in the penitentiary.

Engine Leaves Track
But No One is Hurt

While steaming into town just
above the Lincoln County Lumber
Company's plant Thursday, En-
gineer Albert McFadden's locomotive
left the track and turned over. The
fireman jumped before the engine
made it's leap for. the ground. Mr..
McFadden, who stuck to his post,
strange to say, was not injured at
all. The locomotive was pulling a
long string Of freight cars and did
not carry the tender with it when
1t left the track.
The same day while big pile
driver hoist was unloading a long
slab of marble at bridge several
miles south Of town, an immense
chain broke and allowed the marble
to fall on one of the T. C.'s main
tracks. No one was injured in this
case, either, but traffic was delayed
several hours before the big marble
could be lifted off the rails.

Meeting at Bogue Chitto.

Mr.. and Mrs. D. Sartin and Mrs.
B. T. Hobbs attended the last meet
ing of the protracted service with
the Bogue Chitto Baptist church on
Wednesday evening. DR.. H. M. King,
of the State Capital had occupied the
pulpit for ten days and his last ap-
peal, inspired by the text "And they
stood beholding," was masterpiece.
At the close of the service the fif-
teen who had united with the church
were welcomed by Christians into the
fellowship of the saints" There
are many young people engaged ac-
lively in church activities at Bogue
Chitto and they predominant in the
choir and in the congregation. The
pianiste is Miss Lula Myer, grand
daughter of Mrs. Vince.
Rev. Stringer is acceptably lead
ing the flock at Bogue Chitto and
received cooperation in the meeting
from Rev. Reeves, the Methodist pas
tor and all Christian people of the
little town. In his closing remarks
DR.. King suggested a lighting sys-
tenn for the church that would not
cost but two or three hundred dol
lars" and intiamted that opent pocket
books were an evidence of the souls
regeneration. Mr.. and Mrs. Dan Bo-
liam brought DR.. and Mrs. King to
Brookhaven in time to catch No. 2,
and they sped on from here to their
home and work at Jackson after
faithful service done at Bogue Chit
to.
