With the advent of more seasonable
weather the farmers are beginning to
work again. Some are planting their
highland, while others are blowing in
the swamp lands. At this season of the
year it is hard work to get the swamp
land plowed, but this land is the best
corn producer when the crops began to
mature. Crimson clover in this section
has been greatly benefited by the rains
of the past few weeks, and is now in full
blossom. The clover crop will be fine
one. The outlook for a good wheat crop
is fine
Well what will happen next to surprise
us. Our enterprising blacksmith and
town constable, Gilbert Morgan, has pur-
chased large automobile. This shows
what push and energy can do for only a
few years ago Mr.. Morgan came to this
town from Milford a very poor man, and
worked as a day laborer. After much
hard work and energy expended in the
right direction he now has a fine home
which he owns, and rides about in his
new automobile. What Mr.. Morgan has
done can be done by any Young man who
will work and save at the same time.
One of the most beautiful and pictures
que audiences that ever faced a minister
as he mounted the rostrum, presented
itself to Rev. Pardee last Sunday even
ing. The Red Men, in their regalias,
about IS strong, accompanied by their
ladies of the Pocohontas Tribe, also
dressed in their fancy togs, assembled in
honor of St. Tamana to hear a sermon
exhorting in his momory. We have been
asked who was Tamana. We do not know
as we were never Red Man and have,
never taken the interest to find out. We
presume, however, that he was a noted
and patriotic cheiftian of some tribe.
Will our learned scribe d. A. c. inform
us on this subject and enjoy our graft
tude?
Boss Shannahan, of Belle Aire, Nd,
was i'll this town this week, looking after
his canning interests here. His company
has taken over the Lekites property,
which was recently bought by K. J.
Clendaniel. w. A. Welch, our contract
ing builder, has received the contract to
erect a large establishment on the prop
erty, the main building of which will be
40 #. 100 #. with L 40 #. go #. The
building will be two stories high, and the
first floor will be laid in solid concrete.
The lumber for the building will be furn-
ished by r. J. Clendaniel. When the
building is completed, it will be one of
the finest canning factories in lower
Delaware, for, as i'll all matters, Ellen
dale never takes a back seat in anything.
Mr.. Shanahan has contracted with the
farmers hereabouts for $50 acres of toma-
toes, which with the $50 acres which Mr..
Jester will handle. will about consume
all of the crop grown abo1t Ellendale
The tomatoes are to be bought for IS
cents per basket.
Last Saturday our people enjoyed the
rare treat of-seeing two cOlOred baseball
teams play here. The Lincoln team was
the victor by the score of 9 to I. This is
the first ball game ever played here be-
tween two colored teams, and the man
ler in which they managed their team
caused much amusement among the
spectators.
Last Tuesday evening just about quit
ing time. Cove Smith, the farmer at
Reed 5 Mills, was working near a pulley
Il the mill when a piece of his clothing

rOund the shaft several times, and every
