HOGS JOWL And TURNIP
GREENS BY PARCELSPOST

"Mable, I'm just honin' with a wat
ery taste in my mouth for the gooc
old turnip greens and hogs jowl OF
Sussex County, so spake the Reverend
Francis Burgette Short, as he sat read
ing the CHRONICLE in his home. the
parsonage of the First Methodist
Church, of Salt Lake City. Utah. ten
DAYS ago. His recollections of the spring
dish of his boyhood, brought thought
waves of the happy days in Delaware,
now of the past, and where each spring
the pot boils greasy with the succulent
turnip green and the delicious hogs jowl;
especially in Sussex County, where the
housewives know better how to prepare
this dish with more lucious taste, than
in any other spot on Gods green earth.
The thought waves of the eminent
preacher were tuned to meet the atten-
tive ear of relatives and friends in Del
aware, two thousand miles away, and
in response to these, the United States
mails were called in as a medium to
bring happiness to this longing son of
Delaware for the spring product of his
teeming native land of plenty and hap
piness, and the result was that some of
the freshest and brightest turnip greens,
and a tender little hogs jowl were pre-
pared for shipment through the parcels
post, and started on Wednesday morn
ing last on its western journey to satisfy
the cravings of this loyal Delawarean /
to the land and products of the land of
his birth. 1t took with it far more than |
the intrinsic value of the turnip or the
pig, as the package carried loving re-
membrance of loving friends to a loved .
brother and true Delawarean. If the /
United States Mail should damage or
loose this particular package, or fail to
deliver it on time, a real disaster will
follow, but, on second thought, it might
be possible that a disaster might be
averted, and the good wife of the
be saved much work andmental
stress, of having to care for man who
had over-fed, and had to suffer the pangs
Of natures penalty as the result but
we will hope 'good digestion will wait
lpOn appetite" in this particular case,
and that the Parcels Post will be a
prompt and good messenger to bring
happiness to a hard working minister,
md loyal son of Delaware.

THE DOVER HAMMOCK ROAD.

With view to improving nine-mile
stretch of road from Dover to kits
Hammock a summer resort on the Bay
shore, the Kenty County Levy Court
last Monday had a representative from
the Department of Agriculture at Wash
ington, l. w. Barber. to come and take
a trip over the nine mile stretch and give
his opinion as to the advisability of i'm
proving the road with the material at
hand Mr. Barker took the trip and made
his report to the Court in special ses-
sion last Tuesday. 1t is believed that
by scraping the road, rounding it up
and rolling it, the material can be Sc
cured along the route. Mr.. Barber
took a trip down ST. Jones River to
look for gravel beds from which gravel
can be secured to aid in making the
road.

CUTTING WIRE FENCES.

Many farmers in Slaughter Neck are
making complaints of having had their
wire fences cut by some unknown
person or persons. These acts of van
dalism, according to our informant, have
been going on for the past two weeks
and several farmers have suffered from
the work of the guilty parties. The
farmers claim to have information which
will lead to the conviction of the guilty
ones, but prefer not to bring proceed
ings if the nuisance stops at once. If
the trouble maker is caught at work.
and many farmers are watching their
fences, it is likely thathe will fair badly

turists.
