LINCOLN CITY NOTES,


blackberries was never finer in this par
OF Delaware, and the growers feel tina
, with favorable weather they will get fai
returns from these crops.
The dry weather for the past thre,
weeks has caused the peas to grow verl
slow and many vines are blooming at tht
height Of six inches; which lie barely higt
enough to cut, and not of sufficient
heigh to produce a tul crop. This ap
pies to the high grounds especially, and
to the most Of the country abont Lincoln.
George B. Clendaniel is having the
Morrison property taken through a course
OF repair ; the dwelling is having a new
roof placed on it, and porch added to it,
and a general painting will follow.

men are making the blocks for the new
concrete church to be built in Milford,
which will be one of the largest concrete
/ buildings in lower Delaware

A fine horse owned by Edward Gray
died on Sunday last, after suffering for
two week from an injury received while
playing in the pasture.
That cats have nine lives, Robert Carey
OF Lincoln, is willing to bear testimony.
He is well along in years and his eyesight
is not so good as forty years, and he is
very fond OF cats, number Of which are
pets about his home. Last Tuesday week
he saw his favOrite stretched on the barn
floor apparently dead, and a while after.
wards he returned to look TO see its con-
ditiOn, and to all appearances It had gone
to join the great galaxy of cats Of its pro.
genitors. He took it on a fork and car.
Tied the body a distance from the barn
and threw il in a hole, but did not cover |
it up, and then went home. The follow |
ing day the cat was at the kitchen door |
pleading in its dumb way for food and |
care, which was promptly given, and to- |
day the cat is as sprv as ever.
While whitewashing the shade trees in |
her home yard Mrs. William Burris fell |
and spilled the lime over her face and |
body, which has caused her great pain |
and suffering since, but fortunately her /
eyes will not be permanently injured. /
She was fortunate, to save them.
Corn planting will be well over by the /
last Of this week, except where scarlet |
clover hay is to be cut and the ground |
then planted to corn such fields will not |
be planted before the middle of June.

vet IN Lincoln, the crop looks to be all
right.
The school closed last week, and the
bows are realizing the difference between
making hand in the fields and orchards,
and attending school five hours each day |
II the proper thought Is given TO this en-
tire matter, il will be seen that their ex |
perience in the fields is only a broader |
and more practical education 10 the real |
things OF life which affect them favorably |
or unfavorably, Just as thew take an in |
terest, or apply their opportunities to do
and well, every task assigned |
to them.
