PLAN DELAWARE MEMORIAL
Effort to Appropriate $4,000 to
Memory of Gen. James III. Wilson

Hoping to succeed where former
Senator Bayard failed, Senator
Hastings of Delaware has begun
a fight for an appropriation for a
monument to General James Har-
rison Wilson, of Delaware, veteran
of the Civil War and the Spanish
American War and of the Boxer
rebellion. The monument would
be erected at West Point Military
Academy at a cost of $4,000.
Senator Bayard encountered the
opposition of the War Department
and could not get Congress to ig-
more the department. disapproval.
Senator Hastings hopes to be more
successful. Also standing in the
path of the bill the Senator has
introduced is the insistence of the
President that Congress pursue
policy or economy. The bill took
its way to committee, and later
the patron will try to impress the
committee with the merits of the
proposal.

ing Valued at $4,000

ing a clue to the thieves who are
thought to have backed truck up
to the rear of the H. P. Van Kirk
store, in the business center of
Milford, in stealing 125 mems suits
valued at about $4,000. The rob-
berry was discovered Saturday
when the store opened

jimmied door in which to carry off
the loot The firm had only rec
emily purchased the suits for its
Spring trade. Just before Christ
mas the store was entered in the
same way but as the stock was

depict the old building of the
church, erected in 1740 at the
southeast corner of Tenth and
Market streets, on the sept occu-
pied at present by the Public Lib
rary. The building later became
the headquarters of the Delaware
Historical Society, who had it re-
moved to the West Street entrance
of Brandywine Park when the lib
rary was built. The picture will
be six by three fet in size, and be
sides showing the church building
will attempt to depict the environ
ment and the dress of the people
in those times. Although the
period Of the scene has not been
fully decided yet, it was indicated
that it will be either 1880 or 1900,
depending on the information OBJ
tainable. 1t will be hung over the
fireplace in the ladies' parlor.

Hitch mixers, who were refused
rides, endeavored to revenge them
selves upon motorists who refused
to pick them up near Delaware
City last week. Reports were re-

strewn with glass. Road Super
visor w. d. Clark made an investi-
cation and had the road swept.
According to the information OBJ
tanned by Mr. Clark, number of
hitch hikers appeared in the sec
tion during the afternoon and
when they were refused rides
smashed about 25 bottles in the
road. The matter was reported to
the State Highway Department
and a close watch will be kept to
see that the offense is not repeated.

the past ten days particularly.
They are offering S1.85 for good
black hides while the brown rats
have ben placed at a value of
S1.15 per hide. These are the best
prices that have been offered so
far this year. The all black hides
always bring better price than
the mixed black and brown or the
all brown hides. Most local trap
pers trap on inland marshes and
consequently will have until March
20 to increase their catches. Those
who trap on tide-water marshes
must stop on March 10. For the
past week the catches have been
exceptionally good and a number
of trappers have taken almost as
many hides in the past seven days
as for any previous month of the
season. The past week has been
the only week of the winter en-
tirely free from ice so that all
traps could be visited.

LARGER A. & P. STORE HERE
To occupy All OF FIRST Floor OF
Cummins Building, -Four Corners"
After Some Alterations are Made

To Occupy All OF FIRST fIOOT OF
Cummins Building, -Four Corners"
After Some Alterations are Made
The A. & P. Store in Smyrna,
Norman w. Coleman, local man
ager. is to have larger quarters
soon. The store now occupies
norton Of the first floor of the
Clmmins Building on the South
west Corner of Main and Com
merce Streets, more familiarly
known as ''The Four Corners"
Warner w. Price, who has had his
business office in the portion of the
building next door to the National
Bank. has rented the office of the
late DR.. w. v. Messick in the
"Hazell Block" now owned by
Mrs. Messick and after some pap
ering, painting and other improve
ments are made will move his of
fee over and occupy same. This
will release the whole first floor
of the Cummins Building to the
Atlantic & Pacific Tea Company.
Last week the official architect of
the A. & P, with his assistants,
were down and looked into plans
of remodeling the store to suit
their needs and these plans are to
be submitted to Miss ]. Agnes
Cummins. AS soon as the plans
are adopted, the work of tearing
out and remodeling will go for
ward with all possible speed and
done in a way that will not inter
fere with the business of the A. &
P. Store, which will be ever alert
to handle and accommodate their
customers while the remodeling is
going on. 1t is understood that
the interior Of the store will
be completely modernized so that
the A. & P. business can be better
carried on. The extension by TAX
irg in Warner w. Prices office,
will give three times the floor
space the A. & P. now have, and
will enable showing to better ad-
vantage a fuller stock of groceries
and meats. Since the A. & P.
opened a branch store in Smyrna,
seven years ago, they have done a
phenominal business and have long
since out-grown their present
quarters. With a bigger and bet
ter store, they will be better able
to take care of their growing
trade.
