Without dependable information as to actual production and j trends of production both of livestock ! and crops more balanced production | and better market distribution are im-| uossib'e.The Department of Agriculture isTwo distressing tragedies occurred on the Eastern Shore this week, one at Harrington, Del., the victim being a Sharptown, Md., man, the other, a Kent countian.The former, C. C. Riley by name was shot and hammered to death by Clarence Graham, in Harrington. Riley was engineering an auto deal with Graham, when, according to the anti-rnortein statement of the dead man, Graham fired a revolver into the back of Riley, beat him over the head with a hammer, and then proceeded to remove nearly $.‘1000 from the prostrate man. Graham then entered an auto and drove off. He was afterwards arrested in Harrington and is held for action by the grand jury.Riley was rushed to a Philadelphia hospital, and after making the statement as to his assailant, expired. Graham admits the deed, but says he acted in self-defense; but the ante-mortem statement of Riley will be hard to controvert.The other tragedy was the suicide 'of Wm .T. Dixon, Jr., of Worton Point, Kent county. What motive was behind the act is not known. He was so-ically prominently connected; financially, well fixed; and physically, of j sound and healthy constitution. What j more could be asked in this life. Yet | he chose to resign it all in untimely !se!f destruction. Mrs. Dixon was the '•■Teat niece of the late Judge James iAlfred Pearce, one of Maryland’s most I prominent sons.Work Of Rebuilding Episcopal Church Begun This WeekInterior Will Be Remodeled.—New Electric Fixtures And Pews To Be AddedWork has begun on the rebuilding of St. Mary’s Episcopal Church, which suffered recently from a ruinous fire.The contract for the job has been given to Quince Ashburn, and he, with Edward Wilson as head mechanic, gives confidence that the work will be well done.The interior will be re-modeled to a great extent. The former arched ceiling will be displaced by a pointed one, and ornamented somewhat with open cross-beam formations, adhering, as far as money will allow, to that type of architecture generally sought for by Episcopal Churches.This ceiling will extend back into the chancel, and finished to correspond with the nave, ihe space back of the rail will be enlarged, being extended as far as the robing room door.The organ is now in course of reconstruction and will be ready for installation by the time the repairs to the church building are complete. The entire system of wiring will have to be re-newed and the eleetiric fixtures are probably a total loss. The pews will probably be sold and others purchased. The finish of the walls and ceiling will be done in darker coloring than before, and when everything is completed, the entire edifice will present a much improved appearance.Until the congregation can onceMRS.
