Elkton News Notes
one OF the most needed improve
menus IN town is now under wav
Inc deep, treacherous bitches m
MAIN street, near the intersection of
North street, at the Courthouse, are
oelng hlled in and graded up to the
ieVei OF the concrete roadway. When
the highway was built through the
town, the State Roads Commission
tailed to complete this work and these
bitches have been veritable death
traps even since. The street itself is
TOO narrow at this point, and when
the traffic becomes heavy it is an easv
matter to run off the shoulder of the
street and down into the ditch. The
work IS under the direction of the
Iown Council, and is being done bv
II. W. Shallcross, contractor, of
North East.
On Saturday evening last, a Mary
land car and Delaware machine
seemed to be on the most unfriendly
terms for neighbors. Both were
rolling along the Elkton-Newark road
in opposite directions, but as they ap-
preached each other, one of them did
the impossible and tried to pet
through instead of around. Result:
two badly damaged cars now in
Mains garage, Elkton, and the oc-
cupants thereof badly shaken up, No
serious injuries were reported.
W. Sterling Evans, Roy Deibert,
Clarence Deibert and Elmore Deibert

The funeral of John Wilkinson,

ness man, who died recently in Phila-
delphia, was held here last Saturday.
A petition of the Elkton Presby-
terrain Church for a transfer from
the New Castle to the Baltimore
Presbytery came before the Synod of
Baltimore at it's initial session in the
First Presbyterian Church of Wash
ington, D. c., Monday. The petition
was referred to the committee on bills
and overtures. st
The Presbytery of New Castle re-
fused to grant the transfer recently
and the petition before the Synod is
in the nature of an appeal.
A report and subsequent action on
the petition which is the result of
desultory verbal skirmishes between
the Elkton church and New Castle
Presbytery are expected today. The
Rev. John D. Blake, of Red Clay
Greek Presbyterian Church, near Will
mington, retiring moderator, was
chosen chairman of the committee to
consider the application of the Elkton
congregation.
Judge w. S. Prickett, of Whining
ton, was elected vice moderator, and
Rev. J. M. L. Eckerd, of Smyrna,
was selected permanent clerk Of the
Synod.
The Reev. Thomas C. Clarke, of
Takoma Park, Washington, was elect
ed moderator of the Synod.
Rev. DR.. John Mcdowell, secretary of
the Board of Foreign Missions also
spoke.
Today at noon the Synod was
received in the East Room Of the
White House by the President.
Receiver Thomas w. Perkins of the
Second National Bank, has instituted
suit against Miss Elizabeth Reynolds
for $4,000, to recover on a judgment
note found in the institution after it
closed it's doors. Miss Reynolds, it
is said, had placed in the hands of
William T. Warburton, president OF
the bank, that sum to invest for her.
Subsequently Miss Reynolds purchased
property in Elkton and asked for her
money, which was given to her by
Warburton, who it is stated, required
her to sign what she thought was
receipt, but was judgment note.
