CHEswoLD Dec. 30th-Therain storm
of Sunday filled the branches and low
places with water, as they have not
been for many months.
Mr.. Ed. Ford near Cheswold. found
one of his horses dead in his stable
this morning, choked by the halter.
In appreciation of her faithful and
efficient services as organist, CheswOld
Church presented Miss Venie Ford,
with handsome hymn book last week.
Miss Ford has grown up in Cheswold
and from a child, has been a regular
attendant of all church services.
A Christmas entertainment of recita-
tions, and song chiefly, was rendered
Christmas night, to very large audi
ence, by Cheswold Sunday School
followed by treat to the children.
The singing by the school, directed by
DIR. Stout, with Miss Venie Ford at
the organ. has been generally com
mented upon, as being very fine, while
the speakers also have received much
praise for good work. Superintendent
W. G. Buckson was also much graft
fed at the general success. The fol-
lowing is the program rendered.
