The reports coming from all points
OF the Del-Mar-Va Peninsula are 10
the effect that the people are arous-
ed to the importance of helping IN
every way to boost the lands situ-
ated between the two bays. More OIL
the Maryland counties have come
forward with substantial contrlDu-
tions and more to follow. We want
TO see old Sussex not only raise the
amount allotted to it, but go over
the top, as we'll. We have more
land than the present population
can use, divide it into smaller hold
ings and provide room for many
more who may wish to settle here.
We feel sure these smaller farms
will be offered to the public at fair
price, without any attempt at extor-
ton whatever. We believe that those
who are first to take advantage Of
the sale of these lands will secure
homes at much below their real
value. The program as outlined by
Mr.. Atkins, chairman of the organl-
zation committee, is a good one and
if carried out as provided should
produce results far beyond the most
sanguine' expectations. remember
Mr.. Atkins can't do it all, but must
have help. The way to bring sue
cess is for all who are interested TO
get behind the chairman and push
the whole proposition to a safe con-
clusion, also remember that in un-
ion there is strength"
In the death of Hon. Everett Z.
johnson, the State of Delaware has
lost one of'its foremost citizens. He
was an orator of the first class
this coupled with an unimpeachable
character, made him a commanding
figure in any gathering at which he
was present. He was much sought
after as a speaker on public occa-
sions and gave much of his time to
work of this kind. Mr.. Johnson was
not a man of robust health, yet he
managed to accomplish a great
amount of work; much of it which
redounded to the benefit of the State
in which he lived. His sudden pass
ing will be regretted by the citizens
of Delaware, who delighted to honor
him. He never pushed himself for
ward in political affairs; If he had
he would have reached some of the
highest places in the gift of the vo-
ters of the Diamond State. His i'm
paired health and retiring disposi-
tion was no doubt much of the cause
for his not reaching those high
rungs of the ladder of fame for
which his great talents entitled him.
Truly in his case, the saying has
come true, Death loved shining
mark"
Several hundred of car loads OF
mine props have passed over the d.
M. & V. R. R. during the past week,
destined for the coal mines located
at different points in Pennsylvania.
The $4,000 miners were not the
only ones who suffered by the long
strike. The lumbermen of the PENN
sula were hard hit and lost thous-
ands of dollars by being unable to
find sale for their timber.
The pathway of a correspondent
for a country newspaper is not al
ways strewn with roses. The people
of the town and vicinity where the
Scribe resides expect impossible
things of him or her, as the case
may be. To measure up to their ex-
pectations would require the writer
to hire several pair of eyes, ears and
feet. They never think how much
they could help by bringing to the
one who does the reporting, the
news of the happenings which come
under their notice. Most all Of the
citizens of the town know who does
the writing for the Chronicle. If
they wish to be help in keeping
Ellendale on the map, get busy and
help by bringing to the home of the
reporter those items of news which
you think would be of interest to the
public at large. Will you do it?
