CUNNING SEASON OPENS WITH
GAME REPORTED PLENTIFUL
MANY LOCAL GUNNERS AUG
MENTED BY CITY SPORTSMEN
One Cunning Accident Reported So
Far in Kent County-Rabbits Re-
ported Plentiful But Quail Scarce

Only one cunning accident, that at
Harrington, reported in another col
umn, has taken place since the open
ing of the cunning season last
Thursday. This accident appears
more fully in another column. Rab-
bits in some localities were reported
most plentiful, one group of gunners
having scared up 25 of which number
they killed 10. Quail and other game
birds are reported scarce No reports
of any infected rabbits witr the new
disease of Tuareamia were heard, all
rabbits shot being very much on the
run A large number of rabbits
were killed, however, and they are re-
ported to be plentiful. Some people
say, however, they will not eat rab-
bits now because of the disease that
has acected them in some states and
which is claimed to be very poison
Gus. Gunners Thursday stated that
they could find nothing wrong with the
rabbits killed around here and it is
the general belief that the disease has
not yet appeared in Delaware. A
number Of gunners stated, however,
that they were taking no chances
with the disease and were using rub
Der gloves in skinning the rabbits.
The infection that exists in some of
the rabbits is poisonous only when in
contact with some part of the skin
that has been cut or scratched.
Out-of-State Gunners Join in Sport
Hundreds of gunners from New
York, Pennsylvania and Maryland
were on hand for the opening Of the
season. Large numbers of them will
remain for about a week and gun with
relatives and friends. They will be
found in the wood and fields each
day with hounds hunting for rabbits
or highbred and high priced pointers
and settlers roaming the fields for
quail. Dogs command higher price
at this season Of the year than any
other time. 1t now is impossible to
buy a good hunting dog without pay
ing twice the value of it, now the gun
ming season has opened.
Open Season for Quail, Snipe, Ducks
II is open season on rabbits, quail,
brant, snipe, wild geese and ducks.
Many city gunners, after spending a
few days shooting quail, snipe and
brant, will 60 to the Assowaman. In
dian River, Rehoboth and Isle Of
Wright Bays and gun for ducks and
geese. Game seems to be more plen-
tiful this season than for several
years. According to reports Of sports
men who have been training their
dogs for month the wood abounds in
rabbits and the coveys of birds are
more numerous and larger than for |
three seasons. This is attributed to
the laws passed a few years ago pro-
nibiting dogs from running at large
1t all seasons of the year.

u. K. Stevenson at Private Terms
Store Will Be Rem0deIed Into One
Howard R. Jones, proprietor of
Smyrna's well-known drug store. has
purchased at private terms from Clar-
ence B. Raymond, the RAYMOND
Block" at the "Four Corners. ten
anted by Jones' Drug Store and r
Reynolds Stevenson's confectionery
store. Mr.. Jones received the deed
yesterday and sometime after the
first of the year will begin remodel
ing plans which will throw the two
stores into one with the view of max
ing one of the largest and best drug
stores in the state. Mr.. Stevenson
has not fully decided where he will 90,
whether he will take his old stand on
Main street back or seek a new loca-
tion nearer the -Four Corners" Mr..
Jones is being congratulated on his
move asst gives him possession of his
valuable location as well as his busi-
ness. The property had been in the
Raymond family for 105 years. Mr..
Jones started in the drug business as
a clerk, thirty-five years ago with
DR.. ]. w. Clifton and in time became
a graduate pharmacist. He worked
for the firm of Clifton & Raymond
for number of years until he bought
Mr.. Raymond's interest out and the
firm name was changed to Clifton &
Jones and continued under this cap
ton until Dr. Clifton's death five
years ago when Mr.. Jones became sole
owner. With the enlarged store which
is contemplated, Mr.. Jones will have
nearly three times the floor space he
now has and will make room for all
Of his business including
some needed innovations which will no
doubt be taken care Of as the exigenc-
les of the case demands.

REV.LEMOINE TALKS TO ROTARY
Talks on Service For Excellence" in
Which Deeds Becomes Paramount
Next Meeting on Tuesday Night


| Last Thursday evening, November
10Th, the Smyrna Rotary Club held
their regular weekly meeting at the
Wayslde Inn. The speaker of the ey-
ening, Rev. E. A. Lemoine. was intro
| duced by H. P. Hall, a member of tha
Clubs program committee. Rev. r
A. Lemolne, Rector of the st. Peters
Episcopal Church, spoke on the sub
Ject of Service for Excellence. !" His
theme was not only very appropriate
but quite interesting, in as much as
the Smyrna Rotary Club is a"Service"
organization of business men who are
chosen for their standing in the par
tlcular vocation they have elected to
follow. Very automatically, yet quite
plainly, Rev. Lemoine drew to the at
tention of the members present the
fact that any group, club, or organi-
zation, could better be known by their
accomplishments than be content to
acclaim the ideals and standards for
which their particular organization
stood. 1t is very good to advocate
service, true and unselfsh, but this
cannot amount to anything until this
service is put into practice faithfully
and impartially This point Of view
would be well to remember by the
members of the many different organ
izations who have the future of
their particular organization at heart.
At the close of Rev. Lemoine's talk,
the Smyrna Rotary Club voted to at
tend in body the church supper to
be held on Thursday evening, Novem-
Der 22nd, under the auspices oe the
local Methodist Episcopal Church.
Visiting Rotarians present were: Z.
II. Mattern of the Dover Rotary Club.
Owing to the Smyrna Rotary Club at
tending the supper, there viii be no
program arranged for the meeting
this week. The next meeting of the
Smyrna Rotary Club will be held at
the Wayside Inn on Tuesday evening,
November 27. The change Of date is
due to Thanksgiving coming on the !
regular meeting night, November 29 |
Immediately following the Protestant /
Episcopal supper on Thursday even
ing, there will be a Council and Board |
of Directors meeting at the Legion
Post Rooms, south Main street.

Lyman Peck, II, Harrington Student,
Accidentally Shoots Himself Saturday
Lyman Peck, aged II years, son Of
Mr.. and Mrs. Charles Peck, who live
about three miles west Of Harrington
accidentally shot and killed himself
Saturday morning while out cunning
with his father and a brother. He
was a student at Harrington High
School and played on the school base
ball team. The young man had a
single barrel shot gun. 1t is suppos-
ed he dropped the gun while crossing
a log. The shell in the gun was ex-
ploded and the load of shot shattered
the right side of his head. His father
and brother were only a few yards
away when the accident happened. He
was brought to the office of local
but died before reaching
there. A coroner's jury Saturday
afternoon gave verdict that death
was due to the accidental discharge of
the shot gun. Ill luck seems to fol-
low the Peck family. Only few
years ago two other children were
burned to death in fire that destroy
ed their home Lyman was the sixth
child to have met death in the past
few years. One brother and two sis
ters beside his parents survive.

CHAUTAUQUA IN SMYRNA ENDS
Three-Day Program Under Auspices

of 10th Century Club at Auditorium
Swarthmore Chautauqua, sponsored
by the goth Century Club Of Smyrna,
concluded three-day performance at
the High School Auditorium Monday
night, but unfortunately it was not
the success the club women had antic-
ipated. Instead Of realizing financial
gain to put on needy repairs to their
Club House, they had deficit which
is secured by the twenty or twenty
five guarantors. While the Swarth-
more people brought good program,
the Chautauqua was only fairly pa
tronized. Efforts to have the Chau-
tauqua here another year is still hang
ing in the balance with a majority Of
Smyrna Club Women not yet willing
to sponsor another enterprise and an
unwillingness on the part of the bus
ines men of Smyrna to become guar
antors unless the Women's Club gets
in back of it.
