recltat1ons portraying the life an
character of the great man wer
well rendered. The musical part o
the program was simply grand. TIL,
trio, Miss COffman, piano; Miss Jes
ter, violin, and Mr.. Daugherty, fiutt
and again, Miss Jester, violin, MI
Shinn, piano, and Mr.. Shockley
flute, entertained the audience will
such music as it is seldom their lo
to hear. The singing by Miss COff
man and Mr.. Shinn was superb, botl
had voices highly trained and Of
great power. Miss COffman, Mis-:
Jester and Mr.. Shinn are students al
the Peabody Institute, Baltimore.
The chiefs, warriors and braves
who gathered in the wigwam of To-
ka Tribe, No. 35, 1. o. R. NJ, last
Monday night to celebrate the birth
day of George Washington were
treated to a flow of oratory seldom
heard on occasions of this kind.
Long talks were given by Chiefs D.
H. Reed of E., ]. H. Jester, John
West and 1. T. Baker. Mr.. Reed was
at his best and his long talk was re-
plete with incidents in the life of the
great President. Beginning with the
birth of the great man in Westmore-
land County, Virginia, he traced his
history up to and including the
death scenes at Mt. Vernon. Mr.
Reed was very eloquent at times and
held his audience spellbound until
the end of his discourse. He is now
open for engagements.
Our farmers are taking advantage
of the spring-like weather to get
some of their work done. They are
now busy hauling manure and some
have started plowing for peas and
other early crops. Getting this work
out of the way gives them a free
hand when the time comes around
to engage in the heavier work of
preparing the soil for corn, toma-
toes and similar products. We are
much afraid the unusual warm Wea-
ther at this time of the year will
cause the trees to put forth their
buds (and especially the fruit trees)
to the extent that a sudden cold
snap would kill them entirely. This
would be a heavy loss to the fruit
growers who not only grow it for
profit but for family use through the
winter months. The song of the rob-
in and blue bird also the mourning
of the turtle dove are heard, all har-
bingers of spring. Yet back of it all
is the month of March yet to come.
No one can tell what this usual
stormy period has in store for us.
Bad colds, grippe and other all
ments seem to prevail to large ex-
tent among our people. Those on the
sick list are Mr.. and Mrs. Fred Rog-
ers and two children, James H. War
rem, Dorsey Morgan and John Reed.

awarded the contract to carry the |

East Main street.
Mr.. Archer who owns the cannery
IN State street, was here last week
rying to induce our farmers to grow
string beans. He was not successful
Ind went home disappointed. 1t
eems our farmers are slow to try
.nything new. The growing of beans
# different kinds has been a success
1t other places in Sussex county and
ould be made a profitable crop
-ere. Our farmers prefer to remain
q the old rut and fail to take advan-
age of raising crops from which
ther tillers of the soil are reaping
rich harvest. Mr.. Archer is offer
lg 80 cents per basket for tomatoes,
at his factory. ;
