RURAL MAIL CARRIER
APPOINTED AT HARRISON

Congressman Robert G. Houston
has ended the three-cornered fight
for the Job of mail carrier from the
Harbeson postoff1ce, Sussex county,
by recommending the appointment OF
Mrs. Emma C. Rogers, who resides
near Zoar M. E. Church. The three
elgibles were Mrs. Rogers, William
T. Hamilton and Silas Elwood Yeas
ey.
Mrs. Rogers husband, Willie N.
Rogers, is a World War veteran and
saw service in France, where his eye
sight became impaired. In order to
help him make a livelihood and as
sist in every possible way the re-
habilitation division fitted him up
so that he might engage in the poul-
try business. A year ago last April
Rogers was nearly burned to death
when, because of poor eyesight, he
ran into and overturned five gallons
of oil in one of the brooder houses.
His clothing became ignited and be-
fore he could tear them from him
most of the flesh was burned from
his legs. He has been practically
helpless since that time and the
wounds have never fully healed. Be
cause of the fact that she was fore
ed to make the livelihood, sentiment
was so strong for her that Congress
man Houston recommended her ap-
pointment.

COMPLETE HARVESTING
SWEET POTATO CROF

The harvesting of the crop OF
sweet potatoes was largely complet-
ed in Sussex county last week. This
season usually extends throughout
the month of October, but due to the
heavy frosts coming exceptionally
early the vines were killed and many
farmers began the harvest two
weeks earlier. The yield this fall has
been smaller than for a number OF
wears, but the quality is unsually
high.
The brokers at Laurel, Seaford and
Bridgeville are paying about hfty
cents per five-eights basket and
prices even higher are reported tor
extra high quality stock. Practically
all the crop is being stored in houses
and shipments of kiln-dried STOCK
will not begin until the Thanksgiv-
ing season. This is one of the late
fall crops of this section for Sussex
county farmers and closes a most
successful season, Almost every
crop grown in Sussex has been
financial success this season.

Especially pleasing is Johnny Mar
vim, recording artist, who headlines
at Loew's Capitol. Recording artists
generally fall fiat with this writer
when they appear on the stage in
person, but not so with Johnny Mar
vim. This personable young man
sings his way into your heart with
some new songs and some old songs,
and his every number is accorded
long applause by the audience.

The gramaphone celebrity, Johnny

His songs are charming, and they are
rendered to his own melodious ac-

Why is it, by the way, that music

ability, do not receive the critical at

COLUMBUS, O., 'DISPATCH.

There is lad with the most in
gratiating of personalities in town
this week. He is enough of an en-
tertainer and enough of a national
celebrity that yesterday he was hon
ored by being presented with a large
golden key to the city by Mayor
Thomas.
We speak of Johnny Marvin, sing
er, ukele artist, likeable young man
and popular Victor recorder, who is
headlining at the Palace Theatre
this week. He strums and he sings
and he gurgles those funny sounds
which he and some other lads like
Nick Lucas have made popular with
the jazz hounds. And he has a per-
sonality as unaffected and untheat-
rical as a gospel jubilee singer.
