Lack Ernst Comes TO Town

Jack Frost comes 10 Town
The heavy frost which fell thl
morning (Tuesday) is causing tn
fruit growers some uneasiness. Tn
peach and pear trees are out o
blossom and now have small s1ze'
fruit on them. The apple and cherr.
trees are still blooming. What dam
age, if any, it will take several day
to tell.
Those who have early garden
feel that their vegetables have beel
hurt. The frost was so heavy il
places it resembled light sprinkle
of snow.
President Hoover Speaks
America Leads World in Crime,
so asserted President Hoover in
speech delivered before the meeting
of the Associated Press of New Yorl
on April %.
This a terrible arraignment o
this country of our, which is consid
cred the most Christionized on the
globe. Where is the 18th amendment
that would be so drastic in forcing
obedience that grass would soon bt
growing around the jails of the
country? Where are all of the othel
laws which are supposed to keep the
criminals in subsection? Something
is wrong somewhere and President
Hoover recognizes the fact. Better
wake up and get busy and help to
enforce the laws or else the crimi-
nal class will soon have the upper
hand.
Rain, Rain, Rain Rain, Rain, Rain!
The excessive rains of late have
in a measure retarded the cOnstruc-
ton of the public highways in this
and other places.
The road across the causeway at
Slaughter Beach, has on account OF
rain and high tides, been at almost a
standstill for sometime. 1t is a pity
that so much of the highway which
runs across the causeway could not
have been built first.
The clearing of the right of way
and grading is going forward on the
Ellendale Milton road, but the pour
ing of cement will be put back some
time on account of so much rain.
Higher Tariff on Tomatoes!
We notice that Senator Townsend
and Senator Hastings and Represen-
tative Houston will endeavor to have
President Hoover raise the tariff on
both the Italian and Mexican toma-
toes. This is a move in the right d1-
rection. Unless something is done
to aid the farmers the growing OF
tomatoes will be a thing of the
past.
Mr.. and Mrs. Fred Ireland have
been entertaining Bernard Ireland
of New York for the past week.
Mrs. E. T. Wilson, Mrs. r. j. Glen
daniel, Mrs. C. A. Timmons, Mrs. D..
H. Reed, of E., and Mrs. Lawrence
Warren attended the banquet given
by Chapter No. 8, Order of Eastern
Star of Georgetown on Saturday
night of last week. Be careful, Ia
dies, bugaboos seem to be prevalent
in some parts of the town.
Mr.. and Mrs. Henry L. Baker of
MilIsboro were Sunday guests of
Mr.. and Mrs. r. A. Wood.
Church News
Rev. and Mrs. Frank Willis left
for their new home at Church Creek
and Taylor's Island on Thursday OF
last week.
Rev. and Mrs. ]. R. Diehl occu-
pied the parsonage Thurshday OF
last week. He preached at New Mar
ket Sunday morning; at Union in
the afternoon and Glendale at night.
He made a very favorable impress
sion.
The class meeting held Sunday
morning was well attended. Clar-
ence Abbott, leader. His advice to
the members present was timely. He
brought out in very plain terms the
advice of the Psalmist when he said
Behold how good and how pleasant
it is for brethren to dwell together
in unity" Those who fail to attend
these gatherings are missing some
thing worthwhile. Next class day
will be May 5. All are welcome.
The Epworth League social will
meet at the home of Miss Hyacinth
Lynch on Monday evening, April ~.
A cordial invitation is extended to
all members to be present.
Our church school seems to be
doing fine. The superintendent, Mr..
Timmons, feels very much encour-
aged as the school grows more in
teresting each Sabbath.
The senior classes are struggling
along with the lessons taken from
the Book of Isaiah" While some
what complicated the scholars seem
to wish to learn more about the
Children of Israel and the several
meted out to them by
Jehovah.
Come out and join us; there is al
ways a place for you-be you young
or old. Can we expect you next
Sunday?
The superintendent of the primary
department has a surprise in store
for the parents of the little ones
who are scholars of the smaller
classes. We will announce later
what it will be.
