ELLENDALE.

The most scared and aggravated man
in our town was our blacksmith and ma
chinist, and also member of council,
when the Georgetown constable pulled
him out Of bed at 5 O'Clock last Saturday
morning to answer a forthwith warrant
before Esquirer Warrington, on the
charge Of trespass on the lot of his ad-
joining neighbor, Mrs. Hitch. This is a
result of the old town fued, or factional
differences that grew out of the corpora
ton act that made our town a taxable
city against the will of many and Mr..
Ennis is booster for the town. This in
cident cost Mr.. Ennis about So 90 and he
wishes US to repeat Mrs. Hich's warming
to him that any OF his friends trespass
ing upon her must expect the full pen
atty of the law. So look out for more
trouble. We write this at the request of
Mr.. Ennis, but Mrs. Hitch is a very pop.
ular and prominent society lady for whom
we have the highest respect, and we
think that from her gentle and pleasing
nature there is no apprehension Of trouble
from that source if she is properly treated
and her rights respected.
Our good Methodists are justly proud
Of their achievement ia the rebuilding
and remodeling of their church. The
work is nearly completed and looks
good both inside aud out even to the |
most critical eye. The members of the
church are looking forward to the big |
time on June 18th when the event of the /
re opening will occur. Every young lady |
in town is putting forth her best effort to
make the affair a huge success. Several
prominent speakers will be present to {
participate in the exercises. Their names
will be announced next week. All of the /
debts on the church are already paid so |
that visitors to the church will not be
worried to death in an attempt to get
money to pay on a debt
Mr.. and Mrs. John Jones have returned
home from a visit to New Jersey, where
they attended the wedding Of their son,
Clarence, to a Jersey belle, whom We
learn is a millienairess. See boys what
a young Delawarean can do when they
90 abroad. 1t is impossible to keep our
boys down, as Clarence is only p years
old, and has full fedged sea captains
papers and can master any ship that sails
under the American flag. Don't get dis
courRged bows, because it is slow on the
farm. it lie there that the true principles
which make the nOOlest and best OF men
are cultivated.
The lawyers from Georgetown, who
came here Monday to procure the right
of way for the DUPONT Highway by Civ
ing each land holder one dollar, met with
a terrible disappointment, when they
found our people would not sell their
most precious rights to please that swell
headed millionaire. Those, who at first
declared they would give away all the
privileges, demanded even more than the
others for their land.
What does that Lincoln correspondent
mean by such erroneous statements about
our ball PLAYERS. The Lincolnites re
ceived a fair deal and left here satisfied
that they had been beaten squarely. The
ecore at Lincoln was to ) in LincOln's
favor. not 25 to as he reported. He
should have mentioned the Houston Lin
coin score. which was 25 to in HOuston's
favor
Purnell Webb, our old and respected
was stricken with paralysis last
Saturday evening and is now critically i'll
at bis home.
These fine showers are helping in the
setting of plants and our farmers are
working over time in order to set their
s weet potatoes and tomatoes. Plants in
this vicinity are very scarce, owing to the
long drought. PAUL Pay. l.
