PAUL PRY's ELLENDALE
LETTER.

Wheat threshing is now in full pro-
gress in this locality and the grain is
exceptionally fine in quality except
for a few onions, but the absence OF
cookie is something unsuual even
with those who used seed containing
a large quantity of it. The general
opinion prevails that the severe win
ter killed that plant. The best yield
is that of Mr.. Green Benston, who
lives on the Fleetown Mansion Farm.
From twenty acres he has 226 bu-
shells of fine seed.
On Friday last the two year old son
of Fred Roberts was taken very i'll
and the father was summoned from
his work in Philadelphia. DR.. Hitch
was FASTENED to the spot, but on Sat
urday the little sufferer passed peace
fully away. On Monday, after fun
eral at the home, interment was made
in the Millsboro cemefery.
The severe hot and dry weather is
bringing ruin and disaster to our
crops, which are actually parching in
the fields. No amount Of rain can
now resuscitate the early corn and
vegetables, but late corn and tOmat-
Oes may be benefited. All this spells
disaster to our farmers in the face
Of the double prices for labor, phOs-
phate and farm machinery.

centric bachelor who lives the life of

LET'S STAND UP TILL OLD Aev
KNOCKS US DOWN.
To My Friend, Ed. LOwery.

Are the flowers as fragrant and prett,
In the woods where the arbutus
grow?
Do the children go there to pluck
them,
AS they did in the sweet long ago?
DO magnolias grow by the roaside
In the gardens that nature prepared
Where many times we plucked tbs
white beauties?
IWas a pleasure that each Of Us
shared.
Are the grasses green in the meadow
Down the road that we once used
to know?
Do the birds sing as sweetly in sum
mer?
Do the waters as gracefully flow
In the streams that ran by the willows
Where the song-birds would gather
in spring?
1t seemed though they came there to
please US,
With the beautiful songs they would
sing.
Those were the days of real pleasure
Ed,
We were happy-go-lucky and free
But frty years have made quite a
change,
In the lives Of US both, you'll agree.
Why should we worry, why should we
fret,
There is no cause to grumble or
frown;
Let's be happy and smile while we can
And stand up till old age knocks US
down.
