ELLENDALB.

Well, Mr., Editor, here we are again,
after a season of long silence.
Ellendale has nothing to complain of.
We have had very prosperous season
and every man, woman and child has had
plenty to do at fair or remuneratiYe
wages.
The basket factory Of Reed Brothers
has run since March to its fullest capac-
ity, giving employment to all who could
and would work and any active boy could
and did make $500 per day, while far
ners have been obliged to pay 81 rs and
board per day in order to get their peaches
picked and their fodder saved. While the
drying factory gave employment to many
the canning factory of T. U. Marvel has
been the bonanza for laborers, giving EN-
ploymeAt to every one to be had, and
could not procure the necessary opera
tives to work up the $50 acres contracted
for, and several carloads were shipped to
Georgetown. When the rush was on, the
women struck for one-half cent advance
per bucket, which was readily allowed and
work was retarded but a few moments.
Your correspondent has frequently stood
bv on pay day and seen the best hands
receive $40 and more for their weeks
earnings. Mr.. Marvel makes the declar-
alton that in his many years Of expert
ence as a Gamer he never saw such good
and faithful workers. While the Gamer
and his operatives have much to rejoice
over, the poor dowp-trodden and much
abused farmer has all the burden to bear.
Many complain bitterly of unfairness in
the system of weighing and docking, and
we predict the contractor who opens a
factory here next season will deal differ
emily with the grower on the star, ,qTIhave
a difficult Job to procure contract Efor the
furnishing oftomatees Ihaye failed to
find but one farmer who is iubil mt ofthe
results of his seasons work, ag thst is
Mr.. Wesley Workman, who lcupies the
Darby farm, recently oW d by David
coverdale. He says by sop of three
acres has realized him 500, with sew

or two tons Of hay per acre.
At last the renovated and much i'm
proved Church with new sky-reachinl
steeple that cost s4as, has been reepenet
by that renowned orator with great de
livery of divine eloquence, whose ability
to rope in the cash proved itself equal te
the immergency. Mr.. Willis succeeded
in raising $500 in short order. In the
evening the Rev. McLane succeeded IN
wiping out the debt. Our citizens surely
responded literally
Weregret to be called upon to chronicle
the most sad and mournful event which
ever occurred in this vicinity; in the
suicide of Mrs. Wexey Deputy, the 40
year old wife of John H. Deputy, one of
the most wealthy, prosperous and highly
esteemed farmers of this neighborhood.
On Saturday, after Mrs. Deputy had
spent several days in cleaning her house
and putting things in perfect order she
dressed her little four year old boy in its
best and went to the field and requested
the father to care for it. He inquired where
she was going; she said, mo where"
After fond kisses and much carressing
she bade them good by She returned to
her home, fixed her parlor, laid out clean
sheets, pillows, etc, dressed herself
nicely and went to the smokehouse and
hung herself with a rope Mr.. Deputy
returned home at sundown, found supper
ready aud on the table except the bread.
which was in the stove nearly done.
He and his two boys searched at the
neighbors all night, In the morning,
when going to the smokehouse to get
something for breakfast he beheld the
horrible spectacle. Her neck had been
broken. A keg stood near by and it is
supposed she stood on it, adjusted the
rope aud jumped off. A coroner's jury
was called and rendered a verdict as
above. She was buried in the family |
plot on the farm. She has been suffer
ing from mental trouble for some years,
and frequently left home and walked 10
her fathers Mr.. Alexander Jones, near
BridgeviIle. Consequently the surprise
is not so great. Her bereft husband has
the full sympathy of the community.
Our Church was not only reopened but
was christened last Sunday by a pretty |
of a pretty young couple. Be
fore the evening services began, Mr..
John Clifton, of this place and Miss Sal
lie Palmer, of Sand Hill, marched to the
altar and were soon made man and wife
by the Rev. McLane.
Mr.. Ben Williams is sick with typhoid
lever.
Gertrude, the little daughter of W. S.
who has been at deaths door
for two months. is little better. DR..
Samson has hopes of her recovery now.
Miss Mary Swain, the pretty Harring
-on music teacher, is visiting relatives
here. She assisted on the organ at the
dedication and sang a beautiful solo as

The Lowest Rate Of the Year to
Chicago via Pennsylvania Rail
road Company s Coach Ex-
CurSiOnS.

At a recent meeting the rate to Chicago
via the PENNSYLVANIA Railroad was definitely
decided upon, aud will hold good during the
remaining excursions of the peoples pop
ular coach series: $500 from New York,
s17.oo from Philadelphia. Baltimore, and
proportionately low rates from other points
on the company's division and branches.
These rates are the lowest that have yet
been authorized, and their ultimate legality
has been brought about mainly through the
efforts of the Pennsylvania Railroad Com
panv.
The remaining dates on which this re
markable rate will apply are October nth
18th, and 2Ist, from New York and Phila
delphia, and 9TH, I4th, and 2Ist, from Balti
more and Washington, when trains
will leave the several Eastern
terminals fully and comfortably equipped
Pennsylvania standard coaches, and all tax
ing advantage of these exceptional oppor-
tunities are assured of being amply cared tor
in transit The arriving time in Chicago,
early the next afternoon, is on equality with
the fast express trains schedule, and affords
sufficient time for a selection of accommoda-
tions for the stay in Chicago.
The immense 9olume of travel now direct
ing itself towards the Worlds Fair, and the
rapidly approaching termination Of the Ex-
position influence the company to place
everv inducemeut possible before the pub
lie. There could be no better way devised
to encourage visits to the most marvelously
gorgeous exhibition the people Of this gen
Grafton have ever seen.

The grand lodge OF Masons was founded
in Providence in 1871, and two years later

Any kind of a ring is lawful in the Eng

One sees Arabs coming into Constanti-
nople with a donkey load of wood, which
they sell for francs. They have come 25

does all the work.

WHERE farmers keep over fifty fowls
we believe it is better, generally speak

give them unlimited range. The yard

porary fences. All this will cost money,
but will be saving in the end.

DRY-PIcKED poultry brings the best
price because the skin remains whole and
the flesh firm much longer than after
scalding the carcass, no matter how care

will clearly show the superiority OF dry
picked stock, and why it is always quoted
higher than that which has been scalded.
