Notable Birthday
Party at Ida May

IDAMAY, Oct. 27.-It was all SIM
pie enough. Sunday morning they had
sent Win Sharpe, Mrs. Wade's FATHER,
to Idamay to see that the H. D. Wades
stayed at home to receive visit from
Mrs. Eta sapp, Mr.. Wade's foster
mother. Mr.. Sapp would be along
from shinnston on the first afternoon
car. School supervisor and Mr.. Wade
were glad they would be at home to
welcome Mr.. sapp. Besides they were
entertaining at dinner three friends
who had been classmates of theirs at
the Fairmont Normal school, Mr.. and
Mrs. Leo Patterson, Of Fairmont, and
Miss Charlotte Vaniyer, of Burlington,
w. Va,
Seven would make such a nice little
party and would have been the limit
il Mr.. sapp hadn't been followed of the
car by twenty three others who surgeo
into and augmented the party until the
Wade residence scarcely hold them.
And did the member Of the Bereau
Sunday school class Of the Shinnston
Baptist church and their friends think
there a famine in Idamay or had they
come for a protracted visit bringing
such quantities of good things to eat?
They didn't and they hadn't They
simply came to tell Mrs. Wade how
much they missed her from the class
and to have a good time.
And they had 1t. After the first
general greetings were exchanged and
some semblance of order had been re-
stored to the Wades' hitherto peace
full abode, Mrs. Dana Erwin, of Shinns-
ton, in neat speech on behalf Of tho
Sunday school class, presented to their
hosts a silver carving set, silver syr-
up pitcher and a set OF silver tea
spoons and, tablespoons.
During the speech-making one
merely masculine member was heard
to remark; soto yoce, that spoons were
a singularly appropriate gift for new
lyweds but he vas promptly squelched.
At a lateShour the invading army re-
tired in good order in the direction OF
Shinnston, their departure sincerely
regretted by Mr.. and Mrs. Wade and

people of Iowa, was in Fairmont Sat
urday and Sunday, ''for the first time
In 81 years." Mr.. Dudley did not
have much to say aobut the changes
that took place during his prolonged
absence, for the simple reason that he
did not reember much about the way
things looked here 81 years ago. He
was carried out Of the country, you
see.
Mr.. Dudley for a long time has
been connected with the board OF ed
ucation of the Methodist church with

Romesburg $3.50 additional which
Romesburg refused to pay until licked
into doing so. Hildebrand confessed
to beating up Romesburg for the $1.6O
for which he was fined $40.
The second fight occurred a half
hour later on Sunday morning about
six O'Clock when Hildebrand got into
another argument with Romesburg
about the $3.50 which was resting I'M
easily in the wrong pocket. This time
Hildebrand got his finger into Romes-
burg's mouth in some manner and an
angry jow came down on 1t. The eye
got badly hurt due to the. finger Of
Romesburg which struck HNdebrald
in the eye. Both men were drinking
when the fighting occurred.

PEOPLE APPRECIATED
VALUE OF NEWFERRY|
Propose to Shorten Time
Between Delmar Penin,
sula and Capital
TRIP WILL SAVE
AT LEAST IL HOURS

sEAFoRD. Del. March 2s.-Thai
the people Of the Eastern shore Of Del
aware are alive to the advantages TO
accrue to them from the Annapolis
Cla borne ferry is evidenced by the
fact that County Engineer waldof Of
Caroline County, Md, has prepared a
map showing the need for the con-
struction Of the missing link in the
Maryland state Highway from Denton
to Preston, the piece OF road from
Bureau TO Harmony.
lSwould give the people Of Della
ware direct access TO The new State
ferry from Claiborne to Annapolis
over state road the entire distance OF
forty m les. II would form the short
est route from upper Delaware 10
Cambride. Md. II would shorten the
automobile road from Seaford to Bal
timore seventy-fve miles. The ferry
will be In operation not later than
May 1, according TO the contract Sign
ed between the Maryland officials and
the Claiborne-Annapol.s Ferry Inc.
One Of the many advantages accruing
TO the public from the establ shment
OF the route will be the invaluable
shortening of time Of travel between
Washington and the lower sections OF
the peninsula. In some cases a single
trip will save the passengers twelve
hours.
