ELLENDALE,

Mrs Mary B. Warrington after spend
ing the winter with her son, George H..
Warrington, near Jefferson Cross Roads
left Sunday TO spend few DAYS with her
son, near Bridgeville, then she intends
to 20 to Wilmington to spend the sum
mer with her daughter.
Mrs. Lambert L. Warrington, who has
/ been confined to her home for the past
two months from serious operation for
the appendicitis is now able to be ont
again.
When the big touring car containing
| Mr. DUPONT and his two attorneys pulled
into Ellendale Monday evening enroute
to Milford from Rehoboth, it created as
much of sentiment and curiosity as a
circus would have done to a crowd of
school bows. After a conference with our
citizens, the promoter of the great boule-
ward assured us that unless he was driven
away from here as he was at Houston the
great road would surely come near Ellen
dale. This has awakened our people to
the first ray of hope since the matter was
first suggested.
The picnic at the Union Church was a
great success to the good people of that
neighborhood as il was purely a social
event and was due to the energy Of that
popular and successful school teacher, /
Miss Anderson, at the close of her school. /
She was assisted by the buffers, who were .
the life of the occasion, which was most 7
delightful, owing to the fact that il was
free from any rules
Next Saturday evening the Young
people of Class No. 9of the Sunday School
will hold a box social in the school house
hall. The proceeds will be used to buy
chairs for the church.
The workmen are pushing the repairs
on the church very rapidly and when il
is completed, we will have quite an i'm
Drovement to our town.
