Homestead. Kills Fine Hogs.
1t is hard to tell what awful strange
thing will happen at the CHRONICLE of
fee next. The young Mr.. Townsend
has married and settled down, and we
did not suppose there was any other ma
trimonial timber there; but, 10 and be-
hold, our nice little Tommy has gone
and done it. No wonder he was asham-
ed to tell about it. All of this time since
last September, but he need not have
been so sneaking about it. We think
that to marry nice girl is the most lofty
and noble purpose of a good mans life,
and it is always better late than never.
! Tommy is deserving of our warmest con
gratulations, with the hope that now in
his old age his pathway may be strewn
with roses, for making a living with its
many hardships has no teTrors for Tom
my and his lucky bride, who, like him,
is chuck full of business and plenty of
money. We presume the marriage fever
now prevades the CHRONICLE Office, and
we will soon see Will Stevens, Charley
Humphreys, or even John Jump walk off
with some smart girl soon. Lord only
knows what would become of the paper
itselfif il should unite with something
The expected happened just as we pre-
dicted, and the twelve farmers wives
who form that Social Club, of which we
spoke last week, met at the home of Mrs.
Helm last Thursday and elected Mrs.
Helm President, Mrs. Pullen, Secretary,
and Mrs. Alfred Clendamel the Commit
tee on Ways and Means. The only new
rule adopted was that each week a special
slice of the most choice cake must be re-
served and sent to PAUL. PRY. That is
the bully part of it, and how we enjoy
the first piece of it. The next social |
event will be at Mrs Lombard s home |
near Robbins. Strange to say, none of
those pretty, smart and progressive ladies f,
we're born in Delaware. They came from |
almost every section of America, early |
in their youth, and are now typical Della |
wareans, are believers in Woman $ Suf- |
frage, and are sound Democrats to the |
core. Their organization, however, has |
no significance in that direction, only |
social functions being their aim.
The account of Mr.. Lake death, which /
appeared in the Robbins letter in last
weeks CHRONICLE was a severe shock
here. He was well known, popular and
a genial old gentleman. His fluent con-
versation on farm and fruit matters was
so interesting and instructive that he was
sought after by those who were interest
ed in those topics. His children have our
sympathy and condolance.
On Saturday night Lester, the year r-old
son of John Ennis, our machine and hard
ware dealer, died from some complica-
ton of the brain after a protracted ill
ness. After funeral at the Ennis home
on Monday morning, the remains were
taken to the family cemetery at Piney
Grove near Millsboro, where interment
was made.
We are in receipt of pretty announce
ment card announcing the happy event
in the household of the young and happy
couple, Mr.. and Mrs. Tehu Hudson of
the birth on January 10th of little Edwin
Reed Hudson, grandson of the late s. &.
Reed. The mother is one Of the bright
girls of Ellendales production. We ex-
lend in behalf of the CHRONICLE the
highest congratulations and best wishes.
Mrs Jane Reed, wife of Col. Dave
Reed, is again in a serious condition af-
ter sinking spell. If her condition will
it, it is the intention of her fam
ly to remove her to a city hospital where ,
4 specialist can treat her.
On Tuesday of this week while saving ..
wood at the home of Ainsworthy Abbott !
near this town, William Workman was
severely injured. While passing the
Machine he stumbled and struck his
land against his buzzing saw and the !
member was badly mangled and lacerated.
We must jog up the editor for his care
essness in not adding our signature to
,ur letters as some of the readers inquire
IS to who the new correspondent is. We "
nfer that in their belief that our letters
re too good for our production, and that :
more able scribe who is ashamed of his :
iame has come to our rescue. This is
II wrong as the same old Paul Pry of
ore is still on the job.
Master Willard Salisbury Dickerson
ras highly honored and much elated on
tuesday evening when his teacher, class
lates and other friends came to his fot-
err home to remind him of his eigh-
zenith birthday and enjoy pleasant card Il
arty and refreshments at his delight. Ii
Henry Owens has just slaughtered his t,
ig pen of hogs. The largest one was b
, large that 1t was necessary to cut it it
! three pieces in order to weigh it. el
ithout the head It weighed 526 pounds. t.
lad it been properly cut it would have p
ulled 800 pounds. The other one weigh al
] 4S5 pounds. Just one pound for each ST
ay of its age. Those were the finest o.
orkers killed in Ellendale last year and F
Ir. Owens has the cake for 1912 hog gi
