Memorial Day

called upon to do honor to our SOL
dier dead. Let us not forget the he
roes who sacrificed their lives on the
battlefelds of the Revolution, that
we might throw off oppression ana
enjoy the protection of the best
government in the world; also the
brave men who died in the several
wars in which the United States mas
been engaged. They gave their llves
freely to perpetuate and keep alive
those principles which our 1orefa-
theirs handed down to us.
The great civil conflict OF the GUS,
when this fair land of ours was
drenched in the blood OF our KIND
red.Let us if we can, shut out the
scenes of long ago and forget that
terrible conflict when father was
arraved against son and brother
against brother Draw the veil so we
can see only the peace and happl-
ness which we enjoy today, and we
can go hand in hand with those who
were our foes and as the thinning
ranks of the veterans OF Dotn the
North and South come limplng along
may it be as brothers marching sue
by side.
Every vistage of hatred has passed
away and we can best show our 1or-
giyeness when looking Tor the
graves of those who wore tne plue
by putting a flag on the mounos oI
those who wore the gray. we can
never forget the two million praVe
lads who crossed the sea, who at Inc
opportune time relieved the British
French and Belgium troops from
threatened annihilation by the nor
des of Germany, and by their brav-
ery and sacrifice, hurled an autocrat
monarch from his throne and sent
him into exile where he still re-
mains. In doing this great work
thousands of our boys gave their
valuable lives and their graves are
scattered both home and abroad.
| Search the last resting place out. NO
difference where they may be. Ihey
may be on Flanders Fields where
the poppies blow, or the quiet GEM
eteries of the homeland. They are
worthy, one and all, see to 1t that
they get the honor to which they
are entitled.
Button Factory
The button factory is running on
full time and turning out large
quantities of the buttons in rough.
The owners are adding more cut
ting machines, which will increase
the output greatly.
If a finishing plant was added 1t
would give employment to many OF
our girls at home, who now have to
seek employment at other places.
1t would do more, it would save
the expense of sending the buttons
away to be finished, but this work
could be done at home at less eX-
pense. Why not try it?
Elias n. Moore Dead
In the death of Elias N. Moore,
which took place at his home near
Odessa, on Monday, Delaware lost
one of its Oldest and most usfeul cit
liens.
Mr.. Moore had lived to the ripe
age of "a years and until very few
years ago, was very active in church,
business and political affairs.
The writer who was colleague of
his in the Constitutional Convention
of 1867 remembers with affection
his goodness of heart and willing
ness at all times to help those who
4 were in need of his services.
His large experience in the busi-
ness world made him one of the
most useful members of that body.
Your correspondent prizes highly
| the friendship which was formed
during the session of the Convention
and which remained intact until nis
death.
The lines of the poet applies TO
the long and useful life of the de-
ceased when he wrote:
Servant of God well done!
Rest from thy loved employ.
The battle fought, the victory won,
Enter thy Masters JOY"
4 To his loved ones we extend cur
Heartfelt sympathy. ~
Our farmers are using large guam
titles of both lime and fertilizers
| this year. They are now busy plant
Ting corn and getting other lands
ready for the soy beans and cow pea
crops which will be planted later.
I If some energetic firm, composed
of young men would open real es-
tate office in this town and give all
yho 'Fould settle here square deal,
we believe in a little while their
business would increase to that ex-
tent it would be very profitable.
There seems at the present time
tendency to get away from the farms
yet the time will come and may
| not be far away when the cry will
| be "back to the farms" We shall not |
| be surprised if many who have left |
| the old homes in such hurry will |
make greater speed in getting back |
|again.
The real estate firms which are
established when the rush comes,
will reap an income beyond their
most sanguine expectations.
Our market is well supplied with
early vegetables and fruits. 1. F.
Warren makes about three trips
with truck each week to Philadel-
|phia, with poultry and eggs, and on
THE return trips brings load of
Vegetables, oranges, lemons and ba-
|nanas for which he has customers at
|Ellendale, Georgetown, Milton and
|other points.
1t will be fine when we can motor
|over beautiful stone road to Green
wood. We are expecting wonderful
things this summer at the hands of
the State Highway Commission.
Thirty-five of the members of To-
tka Tribe, No. 35, 1. o. R. NJ, visited
milford on Sunday at the invitation
|of Sakfmas Tribe, No. 10, and with
them attended divine services at the
Avenue NJ. e. Church.
Ellendale will soon offer for sale
the bonds which were authorized by
the recently held special election.
AS the bonds will be a first class
