Now that the Del-Mar-Va Eastern
Shore Association is going to COM
mence boosting the Peninsula, how
would it do for it to open in Ellen
dale an up to date real estate Office.
The persons who engage in the bus
mess must be of high character and
who are above deceiVing the people
in any way.
To succeed in inducing people to
settle here, we must deal with all
who come, in such a manner as to
win their confidence and in no way
use any subterfuge to deceive them.
We have the surplus land and it
will sell without being misrepresent-
ed. We also have building sites
which are suitable for industries or
homes which can be bought at rea-
sonable figures.
It is worth thinking about. So as
to be ready when the time for ac-
ton comes.
We understand that the Levy
Courts of Kent and Sussex counties,
accompanied by their engineers,
have been visiting each other for the
purpose of learning the most i'm
proved methods used in building dirt
roads.
We suppose the engineers of Sus-
sex showed the engineers of Kent
the public road leading from Green
wood to Ellendale and continuing on
to Milton, and in return the engi-
neers of Kent exhibited for the in
spection of the engineers of Sussex
several almost impossible roads of
Kent? After comparing notes we
suppose both the engineers confess
ed to having received useful infor-
nation in the building and up keep
of the public roads of their respec-
tive cOuntieS2
If the engineers of the two cOun-
ties wish to do the taxpayers of
Delaware a lasting favor they will
in conjunction with the Levy Courts,
recommend to the next legislature
that the dirt roads of Delaware be
placed under the permanent care of
the State Highway Department.
The Maryland and Delaware Coast
Railway Company seems to be busy
and hauling quite a few cars of
stone, sand and other materials to
Milton where it is being used in
building the stone road from Milton
to NAPLES Mill. They will in the
near future, put in operation their
summer schedule for passenger
trains, which will give to the public
much better service.
When the ferry between Lewes
And Cape May becomes an accom-
pfished fact the people from Balti-
more and points further south will
have a much shorter route to one of
the most popular seaside resorts on
the Atlantic Coast.
We hope the young men of Ellen
dale who have the ability to do so
much will not let the prospect to
build a Community Hall fail for
want of support. We need the build
ing. If the firemen will get busy and
all put their shoulders to the wheel,
the house will be erected very
quickly. Lets resign our membership
in the do nothing crowd.
Quite often of late some one will
say did you know wedding bells will
soon ring? The writer has been hear
ing this class of news for sometime
and so far nothing of the kind has
happened. Why don't some of our
young people who contemplate mar
riage at an early date, make the
pastors heart glad by getting join
ed together and rendering the minis
ter handsome fee. Try it one time.
This applies to Ellendale only.
If persons who have deceased rel
atives, who were in any of the wars
in which the United States was en-
gagged, who are inferred in either the
Red Mems cemetery at Ellendale or
New Market Church yard, near Ell
lendale, and whose graves are not
marked by tombs, will notify c. E.
Clendaniel, Ellendale, he will see
that all such graves are properly
decorated on Memorial Day, May 30.
