The members of Ioka Tribe, No.
35, l. o. r. NJ, of Glendale, ac-
companied by the ladies, members
of Hiawatha Council, No. of some
place, with their families and friends
numbering more than two hundred,
motored to Slaughter Beach on Sat
urday night of last week and pitch
ed their tents at the sea shore in the
front of Ellegood's cottage, and pro-
ceeded to hold a pow-wow of more
than unusual Importance. After the
encampment was staked out and the
large pot to be used in cooking the
"doggies" was put in position, the
degree team of Ioka Tribe which is
considered to be second to none in
Delaware, proceeded to show the
pale-faces present some of the mys-
teries connected with the order.
Dressed as they were in full Indian
costume, they made a very imposing
appearance, and when they circled
around the council fire, yelling the
Indian war whoop in the great war
dance which they performed, it made
some of the more timid a little fear
ful.
Corn and venison, consisting of
hot "doggies" and rolls, bananas, ice
cream and cake and to those who
smoke cigars, was served to all pres
ent. The real fun commenced when
Mr.. Thomas and his aids inaugurated
a series of games, the principal of
which was the bag race. Among
those present who witnessed the
scene were some of the old men
who participated in the race, never
made but one jump and remained
where they fell until aided to their
feet by friends.
The whole occasion was a success
from beginning to end, and will long
be remembered by those who took
a part in it, aside of the great un-
dertakings which had such glor-
ious ending.
The consensus of opinion is to the
effect that for such vast concourse
of people, it proved itself to be the
most courteous and orderly of any
crowd of the kind ever assembled
at Slaughter Beach.
Great Junior Sycamore Samuel H.
Fisher was present and took part
in the exercises.
One of our respected citizens, Isaac
Clendaniel, was seriously hurt last
Saturday while engaged in hauling
piling. Mr.. Clendaniel, who is in
the employ of H. w. Jester, went to
the woods after a load of piling, but
in some way the timber cart on
..xLiol, I,o xrroe ridino haaan1a aOfan-
gled and turned completely over.
One of the large wheels caught Mr..
Clendaniel's head and neck and in
flicted several wounds, besides los
ing some teeth. He was rushed to
a Milford hospital, where his wounds
were dressed and then sent to his
home here. While Mr.. Clendaniel is
suffering from his many wounds, no
serious outcome is anticipated.
Mr.. and Mrs. E. T. Wilson, who
have been on a visit to Florida, re-
turned to their home here on Tues
day last. The Wilson's spent several
months in the southland, and speak
in glowing terms of what they saw
and the great possibilities which
await those who propose to make
their homes there.
Mrs. Wilson in a few weeks will
resume her position as one OF the
teachers of the public school of Ell
lendale.
Watermelons have made their ap-
pearance in our market. Canta-
loupes are very plentiful and cheap.
Peaches which are offered for sale
seem small and Of inferior quality.
Lima beans and corn now grace
many tables. No thanks to the Mexi-
can Beetle!
Many of our citizens attended
dollar Day" at Milford on Wednes-
day last.
The wonderful bargains which
some of them show has caused
those who remained at home to re-
gret their doing so.
