Only through the rise of a true COM
munity spirit will the city of Washing
ton ever attain to worthy city spirit
such as characteriZeS the cities of the
middle west and the smaller cities of
the nation generally. where the success
of the city depends upon the success OF
the individual citizen. Such was the
opinion of &. Grosvenor Dave. deliv-
cred at the meeting of the Mount
Pleasant Citizens Association last night
at 10th and Park road northwest. and
his remarks met with the hearty APP
probation of the association.
MIR. Dave cited the opinions of promi-
nent citizens quoted as declaring Wash
ington was lacking in patriotism and
community spirit. He told of his visit
to many cities throughout the United
States. and said;
"In no city that l can point to is
there as great lack of communal
spirit as there is in the city of WASH
ington. It is not because we are not
good men. or men lacking in vision,
but it is because are not dependent
on ourselves for the success of the
city. There is not that close relation
here between the success of the indi-
vidual and of the city that character
ICES other communities.
We do not belong here. most of u.s.
continued MIR. Dave. We belong to
other states. We do not think of
Washington as our home. But we
must. There is magnificent spirit
stirring here in the United States, in
other cities, and We must get some
of that here in Washington, even if for
selfish reason

GLENDALE

The people of this community should
consider themselves wonderfully blessed
with the good fortune of their escape
from any damage or injury by the severe
storm of last Saturday and Sunday. It
is true that the wind did howl and the
rain fell in torrents, but no one that we
can learn of lost anything. While we
euioyed the comfort of our homes amidst
the tempest, we should not be unmind-
full of those who not far distant were
Obliged 70 suffer loss and disaster, their
homes destroyed and the loss of life ap-
paliug. We should be grateful that our
lives are cast in this fortunate country Of
safety and plenty, and show our thank
fuluess by helping in the cause of the
Gracious Master and going to the revival
services now in progress.

ing Democrat of much influence. He
had accumulated considerable wealth,

lumber. He lived on the farm which he
owned, and upon which Oakley and the

children, John r. Hemmons, Mrs. L.
Banning and a daughter who kept house

years ago. His remains were inferred in

near his home He will be sadly missed
and mourned for by his many friends
and daily associates.

SEVERE STORM FLOODS LOELANDS.

A severe northwesternly storm which
lasted for several days last week and
early this week, flooded the lowlands
throughout lower Delaware and did
much damage. At Bowers Beach the
large Hartman Cottage, which stood
facing both the river and bay, was
undermined by the heavy tides which
washed over that place and toppled over.
Water ran over the beach and as far
back from the bay as the stores and
bakery it was necessary that persons go
about in boats. The storm at that re-
sort was the greatest seen in years.
At Rehoboth. along the coast, the great
est damage was done. Sections of the
boardwalk were washed away, while
the beach was badly cut up by the force
of the tide Grave fears were felt for
the Henlopin Lighthouse, recent report
from which stated that it could not
Withstand a severe storm in its present
unprotected position. Notwithstanding
its unprotectedness, however. the house
did not give way before the storm. The
state only recently gave the govern
ment land on which to relocate this
light. At Mahons the water flooded
the store buildings and caused many
small launches to be swept up high on
dry land. Cedar Beach was flooded. but
no great damage has been reported.
At Frederica the Murderkill River over
flowed its banks and the causeways
were flooded. The storm and high tides
were the worse experienced in Delaware
in many years. Summer resorts on the
Jersey coast suffered even greater than
the Delaware resorts, and thousands of
dollars worth of damage was done at
those places. At Atlantic City parts of
the great piers were carried away, and
at Seabright many buildings fell into
the sea.
