May Thayer, the best OF all chaut-
feurs, at the wheel, go as far nortn
as Wilmington. We often, as we
glide along, notice the improvements
being made and also admire the
scenery along the way; and the Des'
of all is the welcome from our deal
friends who await us at all times
for the latch string on their from
door hangs on theoutside, simply 70
mill and walk in anytime, both DUR
ing the day and night.
On Wednesday of last week we
commenced our autumnal journey
one which was mixed with pleasuIe
and admiration along the "noIe
route. We first noticed the nursery
which the State has established on
mart of the Clendaniel land, Tor tne
raising of trees to replete our Ior-
ests. and on the other SIDE Oh INC
highway is Lynch's Nurseries where
ali classes of trees are being grown
for the use of the farmers anu
others everywhere, and near, thls
snot stand the old Clendan1el nome
ctoad which has stood firm and erect
through the many storms which II
has nassed. We pass the thriving VII
1aga of Lincoln on the right, and as
We near the town of Milford, the I'M
mense plant of the Caulk Company
comes into view. This plant Is d
credit to Milford, hiring as tney 40
hundreds of women and men anu
sending their products to all parts
of the world. Soon we passed over
Haven Lake which is beautl1ul
bodv of water and the setting OF
which it is surrounded is superb. we
nassed on, leaving the old town OF
Frederica to the left and then we
come to that hallowed spot spot
dear to the hearts of all Methodlsts
evervwhere, Barratt's Chapel. Thls
is the place where Bishop Coke ana
Asburv met more than one hunoreo
and fifty years ago, and planned anu
formed a nucleus which has sprung
into the great Methodist Church OF
today with it churches dotting the
cities. towns and cross roads on eV.
ery hand; with its thousands OIL
nreachers and millions of commune
cants. These great prelates bulloeu
better than they knew. The cemetery
adjoining this ancient church is one
of the best kept in the country anu
rafects credit on those who nave the
matter in charge.
Magnolia, one Of the neat little WI,
lagos of Kent county, was passed
through. Here lives John Lndal'
nrominent citizen, who it IS salu
owns more farms than he can Keep
a record of. Then We come to thaI
beautiful city called Dover, the cap
ital of the State. Here are situated
the state House and many otner
buildings of historic nature. the
Wesley's Collegiate Institute
Methodist Institution, that mas Ior lts
aim the qualifying girls and boys TO
enter college. We understand tnat
this institution is doing splendid
work.
Continuing on we passed over the
long streets of the city, we were at
tracted by the handsome dwellings
that stand along the passage way
and the neatness of the yards which
showed careful looking after. LeaV-
ng Dover we came to Silver Lake,
mother beautiful body of water and
We understand is fully stocked with
Ill kinds of fish suitable for fresh
water. We noticed as we passed
long that several sportsmen were
,ut in their boats, trying to capture :
ome of the f1nny tribe. We must :,
lurry on; so leaving Cheswold and =
smyrna to the left and continuing on u
through the suburbs of Odessa and
N through the streets of st. Georges =
nd crossed the canal over the mag .
.ificent bridge the government has
rected at that point. We must stop =,
ong enough here to say that the -

ng their grounds and sowing wheat. Il Il
