PAUL PRTS GLENDALE LETTER.

George Smith, aged so years, died un-
expectedly from diabetes while at the
home of his daughter, Mrs. Joseph Reed
of Ellendale. Death came to him on
Thursday last while enjoying his visit to
his relatives here he resided IN Phila-
adelphia. He was so much pleased with
his visit that he prolonged his stay sew
| eral days. Since Mrs. Reed and her
husband moved to Philadelphia three of
| the family have passed away, and they
are all buried now in the Red Mems
Cemetery at Ellendale. The funeral of
Mr.. Smith was held at the home of
| Joseph Reed, and interment made in
Red Mems Cemetery on Saturday after
noon, and a large number of the family
came from Philadelphia to paw their re-
spects to the aged man, to know was a
pleasure, for he was entertaining in con-
versation and a man of good social at
tainments.
The Town Council of Ellendale have
given the bicycle riders of this vicinity a
sudden jar, and very properly enacted
laws which if enforced, will stop the rid I
ing of bicycles upon the sidewalks of /
Ellendale. This is as it should be, for
many aged persons have been compelled /
to get off the street when boys or even
girls riding blcyclesa approach them Two
boys dehed the law and were arrested, /
but the easy-going old Alderman of Ellen
dale, let them off without a fine upon
their promise to not repeat the offense-
will they keep their promise2 II

the handsome young ladies of Ellendale.
(Of which we can produce many) Miss d,
Hattie Marker, second daughter of Viii :
liam Marker and wife, was married to
Harold Beebe, who is employed by the ;
railroad company. They have started !
and congratulations of their u
friends are being received in the form of :
Useful articles to make the new home a
place for happiness and comfort.
1t was reported that another wedding
ook place last Saturday, but the young
ady interested denies the report, and
ays, that she is willing to embark on the
ca of matrimony, but as yet there is no
oung gentleman who has expressed his ri
Intention of leading her to the marriage T

ID intelligent colored woman has ap- to
