PAUL PRYS GLENDALE LETTER.

! We have no desire to encroach upon
| the domain of Peggy Truth as to the
/ happenings in the town of Ellen6ale
our domain is & Dickerson's Corners "
the western part of Ellendale-but there
was some happenings in the Town of
Ellendale around the Fourth of July,
which are omitted from the regular news
happenings; but as they had to do with
immediate family connections that may
have influenced the omission from the
news columns We have no favoriteS
anywhere, and we certainly shall give
the news straight from the shoulder re-
gardless as to who is touched-however
we all have various ideas as to what news
is, and where the damage comes to
community by having real facts published.
The roughneck element as well as the
better class get the idea that they can
do as they please, and public sentiment
will overlook the offense, when these
fracas are permitted to 90 unchallenged
by the papers or police.
The price for blackberries has declined
to such an extent that the growers are
going to stop picking for shipment to the
city markets. The most extensive
grower of the Lucretia variety in this
section Mr.. Wolf received very satisfac- I
tory sales for the most ofthe crop but the
latter part has been very low priced. /
The Gamers will probably take the bal
ance of the crop, if low prices continue. {
Mr. Wolf grows oniors extensively, !
and this week he turned his berry pick
ers into his onion field where they have
been pulling and preparing the crop for
shipment in hampers to the city market.
81 he hrre rrruc a /
ng proposition, and the crop this season
s large one, so it is thought the price
will be lower.
Mr. Wolf is a careful accountant as to
ost production. ETC., and he is of the
opinion that growing fruit around Ellen
ale is not the best proposition for the
armers. He believes that poultry will :
lay large money returns in a series of
i've or ten years, than will fruit. For :
hat reason he will enlarge his poultry ;
liant and fill up on we'll bred stock.
lie has vast quantities of plums, apples n
nd other fruits on his farm which are :
OF going to bring him in any profit this
eason, as the prices in the city will not \
lstify shipment. +
The Torbert Farm at Fleatown, was
lie scene of a great calathumpian which f
as the joint effort of all the young folks
this vicinity. The bride and groom +,
ere given a homecoming dinner by
leir parents and the calathumpian made 7
leir first evening at home a lively one.
Mr.. and Mrs. Collins, who came here n
few week ago from New York, have 7,
one back to that city, after fixing up Is
eir residence. n
The basket and crate mill at Ellendale
IS a very large stock of manufactured II
iskets and hampers on hand and to
It additional safety from fire and to Al
.ep off depredators, he has employed ~
oward Shingles as night watchman.
A mule owned by Irving Coverdale ;s

th the same disease, and at this season or
is is particularly hard luck for any r,
rmer.
w. S. Dickerson lost a mule this week. a.
The colored people are holding
lurch Camp in grove at the edge of III
wn, and they seem to have avery large
tendance, and the order maintained h,
S been fine so far.
