of the farmers now.
Those living on marsh farms ad-
jacent to the new canal being dug are
ascribing all kinds of calamities to re-
suit from the work, but it goes merrily
on just the same. One calamity to be
is stated to be that the tides will let in
more water than the canal can carry
off, and that old Cedar Creek will
have to be dug out deeper to let it go.
Another says that the canal runs up
hill, and that it will be no good. But
the work is going ahead and will have
to be paid for just the same, and we
feel sure that it will be of great benefit
in the end.

The improvements and enlarge
ment of the Light and Water plant
of the town of Milford, has been
completed and the public is invited
to an inspection of the plant next
Monday evening. The work has
cost about six thousand dollars. all
of which has been paid from the
revenues of the plant without bor-
rowing single dollar. This is a
creditable showing indeed, and re-
fleets favorably upon the men who
have brought this about. Just here
it will be well to place the credit
for the work of watching every de-
tail of the improvement where it
belongs, by stating that Mr.. James
F. Anderson, secretary of the Com
mission, has given much of his
time to seeing that contracts were
carried out and supervising the en-
tire work. We hope the people will
take advantage of this public in
spectian to familiarize themselves
with the work done. and the excel
lent property they now possess. It
IS second to none on this Peninsula,

GLENDALE,

The people Of Ellendale were sur
prised to learn of the marriage last
Friday morning of Miss Irene
Deputy, second daughter of the
most prosperous. farmer in this
section, Mr.. VIM. Deputy. She is
the granddaughter of the late VIM.
Deputy, who was famous for own
ing Sussex county lands nearly
seven miles square. There is quite
a romance connected with the
whole affair. the details of which
the parties interested desire shall
not be published; but the facts are,
that there were two rivals for the
hand of the fair maiden, but her
choice fell upon William Gray, of
Milford. 1t is generally conceded
that the young lady made a wise
choice. Mr.. Gray is a young bus
mess man of Milford, and he has
taken his bride home to his fathers
residence, and they have the best
wishes of all.

Edward Lord and wife returned
home from their wedding tour last
Friday, and on Saturday evening
they were given an old-fashioued
calithumpian. Mr.. Deputy came
out and informed the serenaders
that the wedding party was absent;
but this did not let them off, for on
Monday the serenade was repeated

WELL, that old ratbox, the Sus.
sex county jail, was broken out Of
again on Sunday night last by eight
of the prisoners. One of the men
left note saying that the old Jail
was not strong enough to hold him,
and the information was irony to
the sheriff. The Jail should be
maintained only as a place of de-
.rention until the prisoners can be
sent to a workhouse, which should
be built by the two counties at a
point near Harrington, that it might
be handy for each county to reach.
Yes, we need a workhouse for the
two lower counties, and at once.
Then lets put the convicts at work
on the roads.

GREENWOOD

There is a lot of ''good road"
rot in the papers just now and pro-
fessionals are weaving a lot of red
tape, but the poor roads remain
about the same. Pious adjectives
are always catchy but it requires
something more than poems, puffs
and political tricks to make good
highways. The people should take
the matter up.
The w. c. T. U. held a very in
teresting session last Wednesday
afternoon at Miss Sallie Willey's
home.
We always thought Bridgeville
people were up-tO-date and good
takers, but Prof. Keller challenged
them to a series of debates, and af-
ter ten days they return a reply,
that they are unable to get any one
to compete with the Greenwood
folks, who have some of the best
debaters in the country.
The attendance at the Union re-
vival services is large. and good re-
suits are following. Up to the
present, there have been eighteen
conversions. The meetings will
be held in the NJ. E. Church next

SCHOOL CUSTOMS IN JAPAN
There Is Great Deal of Formally
and Courtesy in the Conduct
of Exercises

When the little japanese sew they sit
on the floor making their kimonos and
other picturesque garments with paper
thimble, long needle upon which the
cloth is run, and an endless thread. This
is cut off from the large reel when the
seams are finished, the knot being made
at the end of the process, instead of at
the beginning, as with US.
When the school children are called to
lessons, as the bell is rung, the class
awaits the arrival of the teacher out
side the door, ranged in line. The teacher
bows as low as possible; the pupils bow
still lower, then enter the room, TAX
ing their places quietly and standing
still. The teacher then bows from her
place at her desk; the girls bow again
and take their seats. At the end of SO
minutes man walks through the cor
ridors clappingAa pair of wooden clap
pers. The teacher arises, bows to the
scholars, who bow again, rise and march
out of the door, range themselves in or
der and wait for their teacher. She
walks out, bows again, while they make
their farewell obeisance and quietly dis
lows each so minute recitation. The
whole thing is very pretty, and teacher
writing from Japan says:
Il am charmed with this manner of
calling to order and Diminishing classes.
1t might have a civilizing effect if in
troduced into American schools
The babies of Japan, though net
dressed as ours here in America, are
much more comfortable. The dressing
consists of loose cotton undergarment,
with no buttons or pins, and flannel
overgarment made like a grown-up
kimono, tied about the waist with a
flannel belt This is long enough to
cover the baby's feet and the hands as
well, thus serving double purpose-to
keep them from scratching the face and
out of the mouth. The japanese infant
escapes the complicated process OF dress
ing which causes our babies to shrek
every day. Its whole costume is put on
In one minute, no buttons, sleeves, pins
or strings being required.
Not only is the japanese dress an i'm
provement, but the whole manner of
treatment. Nobody makes a noise at
the baby, giggles or shakes it to stop it's
crying. If it feels like crying no one
trots or yells at it, but it is allowed to
go on crying until it stops of its own
sweet will. This is one reason the jap
anese children are so sunny tempered.
They are as bright and active and wide
awake as our children. and the quiet that
surrounds their babyhood makes them
less nervous and irritable than American
babies.

An eminent physician says that
"Women are not truthful; they will lie
to their physician" This statement
should be qualified; women do tell the
truth, but not the whole truth, to
male physician, but this is only in re-
gard to those painful and troublesome
disorders peculiar to their sex.
There can be no more terrible ordeal
to a delicate, sensitive, refined woman
than to be obliged to answer certain
questions when those questions are
asked, even by her family physician.
This is especially the case with I'M
married women.
Is it any wonder, then, that women
continue to suffer and that doctors
fail to cure female diseases when they
cannot get the proper information to
work on?
This is the reason why thousands and
thousands of women are now CORE
spending with Mrs. Pinkham. To her
they can and do give every symptom,
SO that she really knows more about
the true condition of her patients,
through her correspondence with them
than the physician who personally
questions them.
Ifyou suffer from any form of trouble
peculiar to women, write at once to
Mrs. Pinkham. Lynn, Mass, and she
will advise you free of charge.
The fact that this great boon, which
is extended freely to women by Mrs.
Pinkham, is appreciated, the thou
sands of letters received by her prove.
Many such grateful letters as the fol-
lowing are constantly pouring in.

Dear Mrs. Pinkham:-
II want to thank you for what your medi-
cine has done for me.
"Three years ago had Inflammation of the
ovaries and ulcers on my womb. I was under
the doctors care for about three months, and
the only time was not in pain was when
under the influence of morphine The doctor
finally said l never would be better and
would be an invalid the rest of my life. I had
given up in despair, but one evening I came
across one of your advertisements and decided
to write you for advice / did so and COM
menced to take Lydia e. Pinkham's Vege-
table Compound. began to improve at once,
and to-day am q well woman. and know
it is all due to your advice and medicine.
Mrs. J. 81. Farmer of 2s09 Elliott
Avenue, st. Louis, No., writes:
Dear Mrs. Pinkham-
81 cannot thank you enough for what your
advice and medicines have done for me.
They have done me moro good than all the
doctors / ever had.
For the last eight years have suffered
with female troubles; was very weak; had
nervous prostration, and could not do nv
work; but am happy to say Lydia E. Pink
hams Vegetable Compound has made a
different woman of me. I am in perfect
health and have gained in weight from 90
pounds to I22 pounds"
No other medicine in the world has
received such widespread and unquali-
fed endorsement. No other medicine
has such record for actual cures of
female ills as has Lydia E. Pinkham's
Vegetable Compound.
Mrs. Pinkham invites all sick women
to write her for advice. She has
guided thousands to health. Address,
