Me and Jim
BY F. ". B.

We wuz born on joinin' farms
Beside big sea water;
Jim-he was an only son
An an only daughter.
Folks for miles aroun' they vowed
That I'd be won by Jim,
But he was too bashful to look at me
An wouldn't look at him.
Well time passed by and years rolled on
In the same oil natural way
An there's many gal that married pal
Who could buy her but one meal a day.
Howeer our folks they went a plannin,
A weddin for me and Jim;
The while he had no likes fer me
An had none for him.
Now you we'll know in olden days
A child ne'er had its way;
An what parents for their children planned
Was settled in day.
An so twas fixed, twas fixed for us,
A weddin' fer me and Jim,
Despite he had no love for me
An had none for him.
An now it's three score years and ten
Since fate would have its way;
But me an Jim we haven't been
On speakin' terms a day.
So what's the use o. marryfn
Two folks like me and Jim
When he hasn't title O. use for me
An not whit for him.
Our Makers wheel is turnn' fast
An the hopes of youth have flown,
An me an Jim are blamin' them
Who seeds of hate have sown.
The Bells-Death Bells no loves farewell
For poor oil me an Jim,
Cause he's dyin' hatin' me
Whilst Pm detestin' him.

Court Control Woodland Beach Road

Delegation Seeks to Have Kent Levy
Court Control Woodland Beach Road
At last weeks session of Kent |
County Levy Court a delegation ap- |
peared before the court relative to the |
taking over by the county the Wood
land Beach road, built by James R.
Mott. After considerable discussion
over the road, action was postponed.
A resolution was adopted by the
court authorizing that a sum not eX-
ceeding $4,000 be appropriated for the
repair of said road, provided that a
bond with approved surety for the
amount be executed by the Eastern
Realty Company for the return of
the amount appropriated by the Levy
Court, if by any reason beyond the
contract of the court the road is not
taken over and made a part of the
highway system of the county.
E. H. Johnson, of West Dover, ap-
peared before the court asking that
a new road be laid out across the
property of Mrs. Ware to the i'm
proved highway. Attorney R. R.
Kenney for the court was authorized
to take up the matter with County
Engineer GoOden, including an offer
of 500 for the tract of land across
the Ware farm to the State highway.
The court also authorized the closing
of an old road near the lands of
Enoch Johnson, so that the new road,
as contemplated, might be the main
highway to the State Boulevard.
A resolution was presented and
adopted ordering the closing of the
old county road which has been made
useless by travel on account of being
replaced by the State Aid Road run
ming from Harrington to Milford
through the lands of DR.. John A
Klump, Annie Porter, Jacob Camper
and William 7. Moore.
The court ordered a car of Stag t
be shipped to R. r. Stevenson, a
Viola, Delaware.
Engineer Gooden was requested Il
90 over the road near the State Col
lege and report his findings at tn,
next session of the court.
On order of the court, $3.50 wa
transferred from the General Roa
Fund to the General Fund.

County Agents, Boys and Girls Clubs
Mr.. NJ. C. Vaughn, County Agent
at Georgetown, and Mr.. Cobb, of the
Agricultural Extension Service, Of
the University of Delaware, assisted
in the Delaware booth. These boys
and girls who were there from Della
ware had earned a trip to the EXpOsi-
ton through their efforts in the Club
work throughout the State, and they
were all interested in making a show
ing for Delaware. This exhibit was
made possible by the funds subscribed
by the Service Citizens of Whining
ton, together with several of the
dealers, growers and banks through
out the State, and it is felt that the
money spent for this exhibit will be
many times returned to the growers
and dealers of the State through in
creased demand for various Delaware
products in that section.

FIRE AT THE DRAPER CANNERY
Slaughter Neck Factory Saved By Eff
ficient Work of Carlisle Fire Company

uclent WOrk OF OdTuSle flTe company
Fire, which is supposed to have
started over the boilers at the plant,
gutted the boiler room and roof of
the Draper Canning factory in
Slaughter Neck early Saturday NOM
ing, Sept. 20. As soon as the fire was
discovered a call was sent to Milford
for aid and the Carlisle Fire Com
pany had covered the long rough road
leading to the factory within fifteen
minutes after the call was received.
When the Milford firemen arrived on
the scene they found the boiler house
a mass of flames. Fortunately a large
stream of water was located near the
factory and the pumping engine was
soon in service. The fire was under
control within a few minutes after the
arrival of the firemen. The wind was
blowing so that the flames were car
ried away from the main building,
and this did much to aid the firemen
in their successful fight against the
spread of the blaze. The main build
ing was not damaged at all, but the
engine room contents were badly
damaged. The brine tanks and water
tanks used in the factory are located
in the burned part of the factory, and
they were damaged by the fire
George H. Draper, Jr., owner of the
factory, started operations again OF
Monday, but the engine room has moi
been covered by a new building a.
yet. The loss was covered by insur
ance.

 Mir. Gamblers testimony today was. in substance, the same as that given when he testified at the trial of $IOO,- GOO damage suit brought against him by Mrs. Byfield as a result of the alleged pattack aboard the steamship. A jury in the, ,DeKalb county superior court refused to allow damages.
 Mir. Candler declared he gave Mir. Byfieid a check for $25, GOO immediately after the charge that he had attacked Mrs. Byfield, because of threats against him by Mir. Byfield. He said he did so solely to quiet MT. Byfield. He sais he feared physical attack if he failed to comply with Mir. Byfield's demands.
 Court adjourned today with the plain tiff's case incomplete. It is scheduled to be continued with the opening of court tomorrow.
