HOLLYVILLE.

Mr.. Editor as it has been quite awhile
since have seen a letter in your paper
from this section of the globe, hereby
conclude to brake the ice of correspon-
dence by sending you the following:
! Today, am reminded of some of the
past periods of my life, while travelling
as a pedagogue, to and fro in the midst
of tempestous and raging snowstOrm.
But today is not one of my scholastic
ones, but a hOme-bound Thanksgiving
snowstorm, which demonstrated to my
mind as another blessing bestowed (by
the Supreme Diety) upon the human
family, who today are existing below
| the starry canopy of the ETHEREAL heavens.
How thankful we should be to our great
Creator, for the opportunity of seeing
and enjoying one more day of thankful
ness, for the many mate ial blessings
| that have crowned our efforts during
the past year.
| The people of old Indian River Hun
dred seem to be well aware that the
/ great political negotiation is thing of
| the past, many of whom have settled
down, awaiting the results of the new
! State and National administrations. l
can only imagine that all candidates in
our district for different official position,
who were victorious, are today wrapped
up in the embrace of official bliss, while
upon the other hand those who were de-
feated in our little township do not re-
alize so much animation but we hereby
emphatically say, its long political tide
that never turns.
Many of the farmers through this sec
ton have realized quite an abundant
crop of corn for the acreage that was in
cultivation. Some of their clover fields
look very promising for the production
of a good yield for 1913.
Our little vicinity is being improved
by the erection of two new dwellings.
Harry G. Anderson and Harry Pretty |
man are still engaged in the mercantile |
enterprise, each of which are stars, |
which help to bedeck and supply this |
community with the necessaries of life. |
A series of protracted meetings have
been in progress at the Indian Mission
Church, the same being conducted by
Edgar NAPLES of Georgetown.
Our little township is noted at this
season of the year for the many eXplora-
tions made by our good brothers and Sis
ters among the lofty forest domains in
order to procure holly and berries for
the purpose of manufacturing the said
material into wreaths, of which the same
is to be transported to various destina-
tions for the decoration of aristocratic
homes and institutions.
A young man by the name of William
Werts, who formerly lived at the Friends
Home in West Philadelphia, but for
about fourteen years has been residing
in this community, is now away on a
visit to see his mother, of whom he has
not seen for about thirteen or fourteen
years.
Thomas J. Perry of Coolspring, who
is 81 years of age, will soon make his
regular annual lembarkation for the cities
of Washington and Philadelphia, where
he resides during the winter months.
Recently your humble correspondent
paid visit to our State Capitol. Upon
alighting from the train was no little
in discovering the most mag
cOmmodious and convenient
depot structure on the line this side of
also in addition to the above
there has been erected
subway facility by which an access is
given to all passengers going on the
south-bound trains. Now with all due
respect to the railroad company, their
stations and citizens along the
inc, why not erect at some of the most
prominent destinations along the line
buildings similar to the one aforesaid
referred to. All citizens who reside in
he town of Dover should highly esteem ?
he P, B. & w. r. R. Co. for the graft
ication of their designs for the erection
If their monumental depot building.
/ Close Yours Truly,
WRIXHAM M. .MCILVAINE.
