1889 IS EXPECTED TO
BE BETTER IN DEL

The year 1889 is expected to be a
much better year for the farmer than
1888. With an increased demand for
farm products, and with production
costs remaining the same, the net
cash income available to farm families
for living expenses and getting a
head financially is expected to be
higher. Incomes from government
payments will probably exceed those
of last year. and improving business
conditions everywhere will help with
non-farm sources of income.
The "Outlook for 1889" is the top
ic for discussion of the Kent Coun-
ty Home Demonstration Clubs during
the month of January. The "Big
Four" of living expenditures, namely:
food, clothing, household operating,
and automobile, are being considered
to see what the farm family can do to
make this years income go farther
toward a more satisfying farm liv-

Speeches against the canal were
made by Capt. H. A. Lewis, of Pain
tie, H. Ames Drummond, representing
certain interests engaged in the musk
rat business on Messongo Greek, Levin
Mock Davis, S. w. Ames and Capt.
Merritt Marshall. Capt John w.
Winder of Chincoteague, suggested
that waterway from Chincoteague
to the Cape between the mainland and
the islands along the coast of Acco-
mack County would be of more bene-
fit to the Eastern Shore than would
a canal across the PENN lula. Leroy
E. Conant, chairman of the Board of
Supervisors told Col. johnson he was
sure the Board Of Supervisors would
net contribute any money to the con-
struction of bridges across the canal
should it be built.

While the weight of the baby was
not small enough to establish any re-
cord for medical science, the fact that
the child has been healthy and nor
NAL, except in size, and apparently
will develop without physical handicap
is unusual, according to the attending
physician.
When the baby was first born il
was wrapped in cotton and kept at ap-
proximately body temperature with
hot water bottles for several days
Only within the past few days have
attending nurses been able to clothe
the child.
Baby Crinshaw"s mouth was SO
small at birth it was necessary to
feed her with an eye dropper. Her
lungs were full developed from birth,

were too far apart. It was impos-
sible to find any other means of feed
ing the child until a few days ago
when it was able to be fed with a

Since the little girl is developing
rapidly and is in good health, her
parents plan to take her home in a
few days.

CANAL IN VIRGINIA
DISCUSSED AT MEETING

A hearing on the ACCESSIBILITY Of the
construction of canal from Messon-
go Greek to a point near Chincotea-
que Inlet and the salvaging of the har
Dor of refuge at Toms Cove was held
at Accomack Court House, Wednes-
day morning, January II. The hear
ing was before Colonel w. A. john
son, district engineer. John S. Doyle,
assistant engineer, and Charles G.
Warner, associate engineer, were also
in attendance. There was good
crowd present but there was no in
terest in its favor except that mani
tested by party of men from Reed
vile and vicinity.
At the hearing it was brought out
that it would take strip of land ap-
proximately 1000 feet wide to pro-
vide for the canal and approaches to
it. The proposed canal would be rs
feet wide and 10 feet deep on low
water.
The hearing was held at the request
of the Virginia Fisheries Association.
Letters were read from several inter-
ested on the Western Shore, advocat-
ing the canal. A letter from the
Board of Supervisors opposed the can
al.
Speeches in favor of the canal were
made by George Walker, of Oldhams,
Va, a member of the Virginia House
of Delegates, Kenneth McNeal, Presi-
dent of the Virginia Fisheries Asso-
citation, W. A. Edwards, of Election,
Va, President of Edwards Company,
Capt. S. B. Treakle, who has been en-
gagged in the fishing business for 40
years and is master seaman. These
men briefly stated their reasons for
wanting the canal as being that it
would effect a saving in time and
fuel in going from their factories to
the fishing grounds on the Atlantic
Coast off Chincoteague, allowing them
to make more frequent trips to their
factories and eliminating the danger
from storms providing harbor for
them. Mr.. H. Maher, of the State

WEDDING OF DECEMBER
AND MAY UNREALIZED

After waiting half an hour at the
Cockeysville Church, Baltimore Coun-
ty, the prospective bridegroom, John
Hinkle of Towson, an IS year old wild
over who was about to try matrimony
again, decided that his bride-to-be,
Miss Geneva Murriner, %, of Sparks,
had changed her mind.
Before he left the church the aged
sutton asked the small crowd who had
gathered for the ceremony to bear
witness that he had appeared, "just in
case of any breach-of-promise suits"
Mr.. Hinkle could give no reasons
why Miss Murringer did not appear.
Neither she nor her family could be
reached, and neighbors say that she
has not been seen since Saturday of
last week.
Mr.. Hinkle was accompanied at the
church by his niece, Mrs. Anna
Schneider, and his friend, William T.
Jones, employed at the State Teach
ers' College in Towson. No members
of the Murringer family were present.
The couple had secured their mar
rage license at the Co. Court House
last Thursday and arrangements for
the marriage ceremony were made
then.
Mr.. Hinkle has been a resident Of
Towson for twenty years. His wife
died fourteen years ago.
