ELLENDALE.

We predicted in a former letter that there
would be at least four dig weddings in tOwR
this winter. Many OF our neighbOrs scofied at
the idea and some even declared it TO be i'm
possible, and now we have recorded four and
this week we give YOU three, all IN sne lot.
which Is a mighty hne job lot too The hrst
was on Thursday evening Of last week. the 2lst.
stephen Warrington Of near COkesbury in
Nanucoke. son or the Nanticske strawberry
King. who grows more big strawberries than
any shipper from Bridgeville and Miss Burnis
swain, eldest daughter OF Robert swain OF this
place. were hitcked IN double harness for life
by Rev. J. N. Relso at his parsonage. This is
the finest match We ever knew. No fairer or
better young lady was ever known; "a graduate
Of the 1907 class al our High School and the
/ first one TO wed. The class prophet Howard
/ Prettyman, declared she was destined for a
happy wife, and how correctly he protested.
We extend to them our blessings and fondest
/ hope for their future. on the same night and
81 the same place another pair was made happy
when Young Clifton. son OF Jehu Clifton. aud
Miss Ida Warrington, only daughter Of George
/ II Warrington. were married. We mentioned
IN our last letter the event OF Thomas Lekites'
marriage Now we learn that about the same
( time his brother Delbert Lekites one Of the
best and noblest sons Of Glendale, medical
student in a Baltimore university, was married
in that city TO Miss Dr. Rachel q. Irving, also
a medical student. They went immediately
10 Louisville Kentucky where they have gone
to work at the practice Of their chosen profess
sion. Miss DR., Irving visited Glendale friends
last summer and she Was greatly admired and
we believe and hope our boy has done well aud
f,- f-,t t,ofr
sional career and extend to them our best
wishes in their far western home. For the last
three nights the whole community has been
made hideous by the serenaders who have
given these newly married couples ali the mis-
cry possible and the development and tricks
are an outrage We wonder why our good natur-
people will tolerate such lawlessness and Inn
position. But on every occasion they are taken
in by the house-fuH and fed and treated 10 the
fattest and best in the land, and they 90 home
sick and baihe their aching stomachs for the /
misery of their own folly.
