Clayton Memory Honored Article Text: Millsboro, Del., July 24, 1896: One of the most interesting events which have occured in lower Delaware for many years was the celebation today at Prince George's Chapel, a few miles from this town , of the one hundredth anniversary of the birth of JOHN M. CLAYTON, one of Americas illustrious statesmen. Born at Dagsboro, Sussex County, on July 24, 1796, John Middleton Clayton, after a youth of struggling for a livelihood , was sent to Yale, where he graduated with distinction in 1815, completed a course at Litchfield Law School and in 1819 was admitted to the bar of this, his native State. His success was simuitaneaous wih his admission, and he immediately rose to distinction. This was achieved no less by his ability in the highest court, than by his skill before a jury. In 1837 he was appointed Chief Justice of Delaware. In 1829 , Mr Clayton represented his State in the United States Senate. He was re-elected twice and resigned in 1849 to accept a seat in President Taylors cabinet and was again elected to the United States Senate in 1851, continuing in the office until his death. Prince Georges Chapel, Dagsboro, lately renovated and put in repair by a number of patriotic men and women, is the identical parish church , or meeting house as they were then called, where Clayton was baptized a century ago. ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ DE-Old-News ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ NewspaperAbstracts.com - Finding our ancestors in the news!

They then struck again for 20 cents a gallon and again the packers met the strikers demand, but after the supply of oysters on hand had been exhausted , the packers met and agreed not to shuck another oyster in Seaford this season.

Lewes, Delaware, appears to be a starting point for about seventy men to renew the effort for Cuba's liberation. An interview with a leading Cuban denies any intention on the part of the leaders in the movement to in any way involve the United States, as he believes the people of this country are their sympathizers, and hence, there will be no expedition leave our shores. This may be intended to lull the suspicions aroused and delay whatever steps this government would have taked in the matter, and it may not. Be that as it may, the United States must maintain its honor in upholding the law. ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ DE-Old-News ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ NewspaperAbstracts.com - Finding our ancestors in the news!
