dywine Hundred and get" cream"
Brandywine Hundred always re-
minds us of cool shades, cool waters,
colder ice creams, but q warm heart
cd people. We are always glad to get
away for a day from the hurry and
heat of the rblication Office and if left
to ourselves, without any thought
whatever we would instincuvely go up
Market street, cross the bridge and al
ready imagine ourselves in land flow
ing with milk ant sugar frozen togeth-
er with ice. We said on Saturday that
We would be missing from the crequet
grounds on Saturday evening, but III
stead we would be luxuriatins on John
Berry's ice cream in Brandywlne Hun
dred, and We Were there.
Taking a seat at six O'Clock oh Mr.
Betry's ice cream wagon to whlch We're
hitc led couple of spirited dapflrd
sorrels, we slowed couple of youthful
hopes of our family away amongst the
green painted ice-cream cans, and were
soon laundering over the piked roads
towards the northern limits Of the
State of Delaware. Along our route
Mr. Berry hal but the one answer,
"All Solo, to the beseeching appl-
cents as they held up their cream jugs,
s.uvers, tincups and tin buckets, aud
a ked for ice cream. Into the open
country we rumbled. Passed grand
field of corn belonging to Isaac 5 Elliott.
About "Bobby" Banks we were struck
with a storm of wind and shower of
rain.
A glance backwards showed that
Wilmington was enveioped in thun
der storm, and glance forward showed
that another heavy storm had headed
us off in front, but all was soon follow
ed by bright rainbow and brighter
sunset. The wheat fields looked gor-
geously golden, but the straw was gen.
orally short, and we thought that the
heads were small. The grass crop is
not so heavy as last year. Senator
Sharpley's home looked neat and in
vitipg.
The school house at the three mile
stone carried our minds back to the
time when we met the Senator as tutor
and pupil. We are reminded that
Professor Pierce, the great penman,
was there about that time too. Well
after all we feel little exalted, ah-m
Benny Fraim, a very clever Brandy
wine Hundred Democrat, lives in a
splendid new house, and John his son
farm, and raises fruit. The silk worm
far, has got to be one of the best farms
in the Hundred. Nearly every Other
farm was occupied by a Talley.
John W. Days corn didn't look 50
we'll as on our last years trip, but still
he is one # Brandywine Hundreds i
b3st farmers. Grace P. Z. church is
passed, and not being dry We did not
stop at Perry's tavern. Going down
the hill we saw the best corn on our
route. 1t belonged to Mr.. Trimble. In
a few minutes more We were at Mr..
Berry's ice cream manutactory, and af.
ter =, reconciliation with the dogs, We
wee installed in our country home fol
one d ay and night at least. Ice cream
and raspberries Well, yes, We reckon
it was. We somehow don't care .Mhcf
about them since. We can say that
those who eat Mr.. Berry's ICE cream
may rest assured that they are getting
the clean stuff.
Mr.. Berry has an exceedingly pleas
ant home almost covered over witt
shade trees and made beautiful witt
fiower-plats. Rain! well, We reckon i
did rain there about one O'Clock yester-
day. Why it poured down but it wa'
soon over and then everything locke,
fresher. As the sun was about Lidin,
behind the Western hills, Mr.. Berr,
and his lady brought out a conveyance
and after brisk trot landed us agaiI
within the city limits. We kind o
like these country visits and we ar
looking around to find who next We cal
impose on. Mr.. Berry brings his ic
cream to marK-t and lie can be fouut
every "Wednesday and Saturday i'll th'
south end of Thi"i street market.
