were the pennies she got from those
who were fortunate enough to have
them in those days. One reason
why the writer remembers her so
we'll, was because her house stood
opposite my fathers shop, and by
dent of many little tavOrs shown,
and errands run, many cake was
passed to US without the penny.

Many are the individuals and in

1t is also quite possible, and very
probable, that the fight of years
has made many changes in "GinnY

Very likely few, if any, who lived
there then, are living there now.

Milford chronicle., 1911-07-07

Here, those who came for their
mail would linger awhile to gossip,
and to hear what was happening
on the Po-to-mack, as the postmas-
ter called it.
My father-whod died a few months
ago, an old man, in his eighties,
was quite young man then, and
ran a repair shop in the little strag-
ling village. In this shop he mended
all sorts of wheeled vehicles, plows,
harrows. old fashioned cradles, etc. =,
occasionally making a coffin, for
there were few undertakers, like we
have at the present day.
The village had an NJ. E. Church,
whether the one standing there now,
or its predecessor, I cannot say.
As a small scholar, I attended Sun
day School there, and while I do
not recall who was my teacher, I
am sure some good work was done,
and a foundation for good was laid
there, that has lasted all these years.
This much for the encouragement OF
the t. achers in Williamsville to-day.
Just across the road from where
the church stood, the little old
school house was located, where !
first went to school. The fuFaiture
was of the most primitive kind.
The seats were mostly made of
slabs, fiat side up, with legs of
riven timber, roughly rounded, and
driven into augur holes made in
the slab, and not a back did any of
them have.
Never, so long as I live, can l
forget the impression (some of them
were corporal) made on my Young
mind, in those days. I can recall
the names Of some of my teachers
to this day. One, in particular, do
remember, Alfred Jump. He
studied for the ministry, and after
wards became a preacher in the M.
E. Church. and I have in my pos
session a letter that he wrote me
from St Louis more than thirty
years after that period. is it any
wonder that such an interest is
awakened within me
At that time Jesse Sharp, father
Of Tom Sharp of Greenwood, was
one of the principal residents. He
afterwards removed to Greenwood |
He died many years ago. Vim.
father of Fred Morris, who |
also lives in Greenwood and Is or /
was recently the proprietor of the
hotel in that place, was resident |
likewise, and ran carriage shop, !
living just across the road from
where my father lived.
Henry Conway, father of Benja-
min Conaway also of Greenwood,
also lived there at that time
l had a brother born there, who
was named after James Henry VOL
,ott, who was Studying law, I think,
1t that time. Don't know whether
le is still living or not. If he IS,
le is quite an old man.
But there was one resident of the
title stragling village, that have
lot yet mentioned, but who was
more to me, in a way, than almost
my of the rest, and that was "Aunt
Sarah Kitchens the old colored I
woman, who sold ginger cakes and
mall beer. She made the cakes
lerself. The beer was a penny a
rlass, and that she also made out

NV Dear Mr.. Townsend
A few weeks ago, ordered the
Chronicle sent to my address. and
also said I might write you some OF
these days. You very kindly an
swered my note. and said you would
be glad to publish any letter might
write you from this section. While
this is quite a large city-some
twelve thousand inhabitants-just
at this time things are so quiet, that
I did not think best to write about
the West. However it has been on
my mind to write some reminis-
cences concerning several localities
in Delaware with which 1 was very
familiar between forty and fifty
years ago. I don't know how such
a thing would snit you. Ifyou con-
slider the enclosure readable and can
use it, you are welcome to it. I

"GINNY" TOWN A REMINIsCENCE.
Editor Chronicle:
In your issue of the 23rd the fol
lowing little notice caught my eye:
Williamsville.
On account of stormy weather,
the Children's Day services of the
Williamsville M. E. Church will be
held in the grove on Sunday after
noon, June 25th, at 2.3O O'Clock.
A cordial invitation is extendeg to
all. S. M KINNEY, Supt.
There is nothing in these few
lines to attract the attention of the
ordinary reader, but to me, they
sent a thrill through my memory,
so sharp, that I have not been able
to get away from it. Why, you
may ask, is this so ? Well, thereby
hangs a tale.
It was just before the war of the
great rebellion, that the writer,
then a small boy, spent three years
of his life in this same Williamsville,
although it was more commonly
called "Ginny Town." in neighbor-
hood parlance.
There was a post-ofice there in
those days, and Williamsville was
the post-oHice name. 1t was run by
an old gentleman named johnson,
and he was quite old and quaint
He kept little shop and sold few
of such things as were most neces-
sary in a little country village. |

ENGINEERS HAVE
TRIP GRIEVANCES
Adjustment Board Takes It
Up With Manage
ment

Some fifty or sixty grievances are
being presented to the management of
the Pennsylvania Railroad Company
by the Brotherhood of Locomotive
Engineers through it board Of ADJUST
ment.
Most of these grievances, engineers
say. are because the company has
failed to live up to the agreements
made last fall, when the pay Of the
y men was changed from the trip basis
to the mileage system, aud say there
are many instances in which engi-
. neers have not been paid what they
should have been.
The engineers claim that many
+. times the company has not lived up
TO its agreement in the matter of fill
ing the grease cups in the round
houses. It was agreed that when
thirty or more engines are run out of
the houses during o dry the matter of
filling the grease cups would be at
: tended to by tho men in the round
houses and not by the engineers.
When the engineers are required to
: do this work they are detained on
the run and must then answer for
being late. This matter, however, ii
: was said, has been fixed up, but there
are numerous others which the engi-
neers have TO have granted.
When enginemen are called upon to
make a side trip. after coming in off
their regular runs, they are supposed
: to be paid the minimum rate of pay
s4. In many instances, it is said
they have not received the regulation
b pay.

Street Car Platforms TO
Be Enclosed in Winter

Most Of the street cars used by
the Wilmington and Philadelphia
Traction Company have been fitted
with doors for the front and rear
platforms, under a law passed by the
last Legislature. requiring platforms
of railway cars operated in this state
to be enclosed for the protection OF
the crews during the months of No
vember. December, January, Febru-
airy. March and April.
This law was signed by Governor
Pennewill on April 4. and it provides
that all new cars placed in service
after that date shall be equipped with
doors or other provision for enclos-
ing the platforms to protect the
crews. Fifty per cent. of the cars in
service by any railway prior to April
4 shall have their platforms enclosed
by January 1, 1912. and the remain
ing so per cent. in service prior to
April last shall have their plat
forms enclosed by January /. 1913. At
the time the law was under considera-
tiOn President Crosby of the Traction
Company informed the legislators that
he was not opposed to il. provided
reasonable time was given to equip
the cars with doors. and this time was
granted Most of the cars are now
equipped, however. A fine Of S25 a
day for each car operated not equip
ped according to the law is provided.
The Peoples Railway has not
equipped its car platforms with doors
as yet, and a member of the Legis-
lature today said that an inquiry
would be made to learn whether any
Of the Peoples cars in service had not
been in operation prior to April a.
The company has until January l 20
equip half of its old cars.
