who are residents Oh InlS ldFOIeu
( land. They seem to catch a CLEAN Of
/ the great things possible to be gain
ed by a united effort on the part OF
all to help bring to a safe conclu-
sion those great things which have
/ been planned by those who are at
the head of the association. We all
know that the landowners who re-
side on the peninsula are burdened
with too much real estate and would
be glad to sell a part of their hold
| ings to others who may wish TO
settle here. In this way both the sell
Ter and buyer would be better of.
The seller would be able to reduce
his expenses and would be able to
improve the land which he had left.
The buyer would be glad to provide
a home for himself and family and
with the land purchased be able with
the crops which it would produce
to not only get a living but be able
to put aside many dollars for the
coming of old age. There is room
for thousands who now are only able
to secure subsistence by unusual -ef-
forts and are subject to dismissal
without notice. If this class of peO-
pie could secure a home and a few
acres of land situated within the
borders of this great section, what
a change would take place, both in
regard to health and material
wealth. Instead of being subject to
the beck and call of others they
would be in a position to be indie
pendent and enjoy life to its fullest
extent. Those who live a few years
longer will see this wonderful pen
insula teeming with industries of
different kinds and the surplus lands
in the hands of those who will i'm
prove and beautify them.
The Ladies Aid of the Ellendale
NJ. E. Church has proved itself to be
one of the strong forces engaged in
church work. When the new church
was erected the ladies of this organ
ization contributed in carpets, or
gan, bell and cash, sum amounting
to nearly fifteen hundred dollars.
Not only this but they have been
contributing to keep the parsonage
in good shape and have assumed
burdens which seemed at the time
too heavy for them to carry, but on
every occasion they have come off
Victors. They are foremost in every
good work and deserve the aid and
cOmmendation of all Christian men
and women regardless of denomina-
ton. 1t seems there is quite few
of the ladies of the town and many
who are members Of the NJ. E.
Church who do not belong to this
splendid auxiliary. The dues are
light, five cents per month. We
hope the increase in membership
will be large so that this efficient
aid can reach out and engage i'll lar
ger work than it is now doing. Let's
all join. What do you say?

One of the great needs Of Ellen
dale is a Community Hall. To enable
the people to get this needed i'm
provement, depends largely on the
efforts which should be put forth by
the members of the Ellendale Fire
Company. Other fire companies in
the adjacent towns are constantly
doing something in the way OF car
nivals or suppers to replenish their
treasures, which enables them to
build, and keep in prime condition
their fire equipments. What others
are doing the young men OF Ellen
dale can do as well. 1t seems our
fire laddies don't take that interest
in town affairs which they should.
We believe with a little urging they
would go forward with a rush. Our
boys have the ability to do things.
With Jealous leader they would be
able to do wonderful work for the
town and vicinity. Get busy.
The chicken dinner which was =,
served in the White Hall on Thurs
day evening of last week by the Ia
dies of Sunday school class No. 2,
was a success in every way. The !
menu called for chicken pie, roast |
chicken with dressing, sweet and
white potatoes, potato salad, cold |
slaw, pickles, rolls, butter, coffee,
and pie--all for so cents.
The cuisine was superb
The Ellendale ladies are famed |
for their good cooking which was
verified in the splendid meal which
was pronounced by all present to be
the best ever served in the hall. The
occasion will be long remembered /
for it's social features. We regret
that some of our Milford friends who
are so fond of chicken pie were not
present to enjoy the dinner.
The dog tax as now. levied only
applies to Kent and Sussex counties. |
This leaves New Castle county ex-
empt from paying any tax whatever
for the CANNES owned in that coun-
ty. Many of our people consider this
action on the part of the. last legis-
lature an injustice to the citizens of
