ELLENDALE.


We are still alive and happy, and ne
one is any the worse for the terrific colo
weather of the past two weeks, notwith
stanuing the mercury has been as low a.
twelve degrees below zero. Severa
+ pumps are in bad shape and at one time
water famine threatened the town; but
happily a couple of old-fashioned ones
stood the severe test. The game-such
as rabbits and quail-suffered severely
aud the prospect for game next season is
discouraging, Rabbits could be picked
up in a half starved and frozen condition,
and hundreds we're devoured by dogs and
boys. suggest that our present Legs
lature pass laws to protect game from un-
principalled providers during such occa-
sions, when they are unable to make an
effort to escape. Many birds lave been
tracked to their huddle and the whole
covey shot and crippled. predict that
the familiar and cheerful warble of the
"Bo5 White" will be sadly missed next
harvest.
While the elements of last week was
raging with all its fury, our genial neigh
Dor, Mr.. Elias Daniel, carried a happy
heart and declares his nine and a-half
pound daughter to be the sweetest thing
ever beheld. Elias surely has pretty
baby, but we hope lie will not go crazy
over his first born, but reserve a little en-
thusiasm for future use.
Mr.. Willoughby Beideman lost a seven
year-old daughter on Friday last from
dropsy. The remains we're buried on
Sunday at the Reynolds churchyard.
Mrs. Bivens Morris is quite ill with
lu ng trouble.
Mrs. Collister is quite sick at the home
of her daughter, Mrs. w. S. DickersOn.
Pretty little Emma, the eight year-old
daughter of Mr.. John Milman, was seri-
ously, if not fatally, injured on Tuesday
evening by large looking glass falling
upon her head and cutting her face. Her
head passed through the glass, her nose
was nearly severed from her face, and
the cheek and lips laid open. It was
thought she would bleed to death, but she
is alive at this writing.
A spirited revival meeting is in pro-
gress at our church, 1t is sincerely hoped
that it will be productive of much good,
and that the Spirit of the Holy Ghost will
reach the hearts of many of our wayward |
youths who are becoming hardened in |
the ways of sin aud vice. o may they |
embrace this sacred opp Irtunity to be-
come worthy, honorable and christian
gentlemen, aud credit to our commu-
nifty.
Well, at last, Mr.. Editor, the many cap
italists of this town have arisen from the
dust of their old fogyism aud Plucked up |
public spirit enough to build an ice house
and have filled it brimful of eight-inch
ice at the extravagant expense of fifty
dollars and a-half each.
Won't we keep cool down here during
those sultry hot days next summer.
There is a prospect of an opening of
new cannery here this year. Messrs. T.
U. Marvel and Harry Clark, of Milford,
were here this week negotiating for the
old factory with Jester & Reed. 1t seems
as though they caunot get together; but
it is hoped that our citizens will be liberal
with this new firm and not drive the in
dustry from our town, as the prospect is
now that there will be no peaches and
without something in the way of tomato
factory, times will be pretty hard with
the laboring class, and a factory will
bring us lots of work and cash for the
stores aud more business.
Mrs Eliza J. Darby. of this place, has
removed to-day with her daughter and
household effects to New Castle, where
her married children reside.
Mr.. George Cooper has occupied the
house vacated by Mrs Darby. He will
accept position on the railroad as a sec
ton hand.
Jonas Ellingsworth has returned from
the Northern cities where he went in
search of employment without success.
He will settle down to housekeeping with
his bride in his new home recently fin
ished here. PAUL PRY.
