barefoot and many overcoated, drab

How and where they live is a
mystery, even to sociologists. They
are rarely public charges and are
seldom aims seekers. And the po-

Now and then they are taken to
hospitals where snug fortunes are
found sewn in their tatters.
Most of Broadway knows The

a moth eaten fur collar. He edges
the curbs, scanning the sidewalks

to be wearing armor.
Late at night they seep out to
scavenge the garbage pals and the
corner refuse baskets. They show
no embarrassment in rummaging.

EXCAVATIONS IN DENTON
UNEARTH SKELETONS

Excavating a street in Denton to
install sewer, workmen dug up
skeletons, which they buried in one
grave in the colored cemetery. A per-
nit was given to the board of Denton
Town Commissioners by DIR. Dawson
o. George.
When the high school was erected
the playground included part of the
site of the old colored graveyard.
Isaac Thomas was employed to re-
move the bodies to the new colored
cemetery. He removed the seven that
had tombstones, but was unable to To-
cate any others.
One brick vault, two feet wide, was
found but the body of it's occupant
had been removed. Bits of decayed
wood were all that remained of cof-
fins but perfect skeletons, except for
toes and fingers were found. All were
grown people except one, that of a
child in the early ten age. It is es-
timated that the cemetery had not
been used for more than 80 years.
Miss Dorothy Timmons, head of the
science department of Caroline High
School, Denton, was unsuccessful in
her attempt to secure for the school
laboratory one of the eight skeletons
found in Denton.
The new sewer is being installed
to connect with the Caroline county
army, which will be erected next
spring.

EARLY WINTER FORECAST
BY SOUTHWARK GEESE

Large flocks of wild geese are fly
ing over lower Delaware, making their
way to the southern feeding grounds.
Weather forecasters in that section
state that the migration is somewhat
earlier than in many former years,
and they say that unless all signs fail
this section will experience an early
winter.
Squirrels this season have been
more numerous than for many years,
according to sportsmen and they are
busy at this time storing a large sup
ply of hickory and beech nuts for
winter. This, according to many old
residents, indicates an early, hard and
cold winter.
There is said to be an abundance
of coon berries on the bushes in the
woodland and the cedar trees are
laden with berries on which birds can
feed. A plentiful supply of berries
on shrubbery throughout the woodland
is said to be another sign of severe
winter weather.
Many no doubt will watch with in
terest to see how the old sayings of
the aged ones will turn out.
