Organ Recital At St. PauL's
Church Was Greatly Enjoyed

merei and Romance" He was al
so the composer of several famous
pianoforte works, among them
Fantasia" "Noveletten" and
"Kinderscenen." The "Trau-
merei" is perhaps the most pop
ular of his lighter compositions.
Included on the program also
were Devotion by Pease, "Calm
as the Night" by Carl Bohm, Ash
ford's Meditation" and "Adora-
ton" by Cummings, and though
these were much enjoyed, the
magnificent Largo from "Xer-
xes" of George Friedrich Handel
was easily the finest on the pro-
gram. Handel was the greatest
musician of his day besides the
immortal Bach, and his oratorios
are famous throughout the must
cal world. "The Messiah"
Joseph" "Semele," "Belshaz-
zar," Hercules" all came from
the brain and hand of Handel.
He produced thirteen operas in
eight years, and to him was given.
as court composer, the honor of
writing the anthems and core
nation music for the ascension to
the throne in 1927 of George III.
For the last seven or eight years
of his life he was virtually blind,
and he now lies in the Poets Cor
ner of Westminster Abbey in
London.

The organ recital as presented
last night at St. Paul's Church or
Duyal street under the direction
of Charles Roberts, organist al
the church, was well-attended by
a large and appreciative audience
of lovers of fine music.
The program was beautifully
and skilfully rendered, each num-
Der a gem in itself. Both singers
of the two vocal selections were
in splendid voice. Mis-. j. S. Rob-
erts' rendition of Roma's "Silent
Voice." and Edmund Curry sing
ing 81 Come to Thee" by Graft
Roma, were much enjoyed.
The first number on the organ
was Schuler's Nocturne from the
Cathedral Suite" and this was
followed by the Largo from the
New World Symphony" of An
tonin Dvorak. The latter COM
poser wrote also the "Stabat
Mater" ''Humoresque." and the
opera "Der Teufel und die wilde
Kathe," loved by European opera
goers, and he is the composer too
of six symphonies besides the
New World" other operas, cham
Der music and cantatas.
Next on the recital last night
was one of Robert Schumann's
better known works, the "Trau-

TO SERVE 1000 FARMERS

A loan contract of $230,0O0 to

PRELIMINARY SURVEY OF
SMYRNA CREEK

Charles Humphreys, assistant
engineer to Gen. w. F. Smith, of
Wilmington, in charge of the sur
veys to be made under the River
and Harbor Improvement Bill,
came to this town on Friday at
the command of his chief to look
into affairs in connection with our
creek and its navigation, prelimin-
ary to a survey. No one knew of
his coming until he arrived in our
town. A note was sent around in
v.ting a number of our citizens to
conference with him during the
evening at the Office of the Phila-
delphia and Smyrna Transporta-
ton Company. On Saturday A. E.
Jardine and John M. Voshell ac-
companied Mr.. Humphreys down
the creek on the stamer, also by
boat from Smyrna Landing to
RothweIl's Landing and he was
very favorable impressed with the
importance of the work, that our
claim Is valid one since our COM
merce over its waters amounts to
nearly $4,000 per annum. and
thought that his survey when COM
paeted would set forth both the de-
eirability and probability of gov

HUGHES HATES
LEAVING DOVER
While Accepting the High
Honor Conferred on Him, He
Likes To Be Home
DAUGHTER MAY BE SEC'Y

Possibility that James H. Hugh
es, Democratic u. S. Senator-elect
of Dover, may appoint his daugh-
ter, Miss Caroline Hughes, as his
secretary, was reported in Dover,
Thursday. Miss Hughes has been
managing editor of the Dover In
dex for some time and takes an ac-
tive interest in welfare work. In
discussing his victory over Daniel
0. Hastings, Mr.. Hughes declared
SILLY" any suggestion that Presi-
dent Roosevelt has ambitions to
become dictator or overthrow the
Constitution or is not a true Demo-
crat in the Jeffersonian tradition.
There is only one thing about his
election that the Senator-elect
does not like. That is that Dover
is not the capital of the United
States and he will have to spend
a considerable portion of the next
six years in Washington and take
part, as small a part as he can ar
range, in the social whirl of public
life. The fact that he is the first
Democrat elected to the Senate
from his State in twenty years did
not prevent him from going to his
law Office Wednesday as usual, but
there was not great deal of law
business attended to because of the
continuous invasion of congratulate
ing friends. He was willing to
gossip about almost anything ex-
cept his election and his political
views. but when pressed he opined
that the Democratic Landslide was
an order from the voters to the
Supreme Court to move over a lit
tie on the liberal side. "All neces-
sary legislation" he said, "can be
passed within the Constitution, if
the Court views it in a modern
light. They will, / am sure, be-
cause they don't want to be known
as old fogies.' Mr.. Hughes will
take an active interest in ag'ricul-
tural legislation. He was born on
farm, now owns four and a half
shares in fifth, and actively oper-
ates one. farm work being his prin-
cipal means of relaxation. He be-
heves that something similar to
the AAA will be adopted by the
next Congress. Mr.. Hughes mar
ried the former Caroline Raymond
Taylor, of Chester, Pa, in 1905.
They have two daughters, Mrs. w.
Oakman Hay, of Larchmont, NY,
and Miss Caroline Hughes, and
son James H., 3rd, a junior at
Princeton University.

Miss Alice Hoffecker, daughter
of Joseph V. Hoffecker, of Brook
field, Mo-, was married on Wednes-

o. Hoffecker, of this town, the
uncle and cousin of the bride. I'M
mediately after the reception, the

GREEN SPRING ROAD
IMPROVEMENT


There has been no greater i'm
provement in the public travel in
this section than that of widening
and Strengthening the public road
from Green Spring to Prices Cor
ner 1t is two and a half miles be-
tween the two Places and except
slight bend at "Jamison" farm il
is as straight as gun Darrell, a
broad avenue forty feet wide. The
effect on the neighborhood, or rath-
er the traveller IN riding through il
is, to make it appear fifty per cent
better in it's whole aspect. There
is no stretch of road in this whole
section equal to it. Only one thing
is needed to complete it's perfect
ness, and that is to carry the same
road from Green Spring to where
it debouches into the State road
near Duck Creek, through the
same course of treatment. Our
whole county needs just such work
as this in Strengthening its public
roads, and then what beautiful ag-
ricultural districts they would ap-
pear.

SURPRISE PARTY TO
MIR. AND MRS. e. M. FOWLE

MR.. AND MRS. z. M. FOWLER
The 1st inst. was the 10th ami
versary of Mr.. and Mrs. E. M.
Fowler's wedding, but the sunrose
and set with no more disturbing
thought than on any preceding an
niversary, and the evening was be-
ing enjoyed as the rest except a
little stranger had come since the
9th event, and had remained, en-
twining itself about their affec-
tions. While their thoughts were
busy with the baby their friends
were busy preparing surprise
party of which they were kept en-
tirely in the dark until the COM
pany broke in upon them and took
possession of their domical, carry
ing lot of presents for the par
ents but a more generous supply
for the baby, chief of which was an
elegant crib. The company num-
bered over fifty persons who had a
most pleasant social time until
near the hour of ten when, as the
thing had been planned, the COM
pany went to the residence of John
P. Hudson where an elegant re-
past was served on tables hand
somely decorated with fruits and
flowers. The occasion was a most
enjoyable one throughout and in
the respect and esteem manifested
touched tender spot in them
both, as genuine good fellowship
always does. Mr.. Fowler says he
was never paralyzed before.

Sunday and Monday gave us q
decided touch of Winter, the ther-
mometer sinking to % degrees on
the latter morning, making ice
freely and crusting the ground. II
was preceded on Saturday evening
by quite a thunder shower and
heavy fall of rain, but the tele-
graph reported a fall of snow thru
out the North and West.
The usual signs of cold weather
and hard Winter such as thick
corn husks, the migration to South
of wild geese, &s., are as abundant
in the newspapers this year as
former seasons. Coupled with that
of the thick corn husks is almost
invariably the heavy mast of nuts
but this year this sign is wanting
as the nut crop is unusually short

we're Winter has no substantial
foundation.
