cannot be put in shape, which would
be a credit to the town. All other
places of any size have a musical
organization of some kind, why not
here?
Ioka Tribe, No. 35, l. o. R. NJ, at
each Monday night sleep, has some
thing of more than usual interest
going on in their wigwam at Ellen
dale. Debates on different subjects
are INDUCED in. Some members who
have been known to be of very
quiet nature have become fluent
takers, and argue down those who
oppose them in the several discus
sions. Those of the membership
who remain away are missing some
thing worth hearing.
Sunday was great day in Ellen
dale. Hundreds of automobiles
were coming and going all day.
Their mission was to witness what
was left of the home of Harry w.
Jester. There was nothing to see
but the blackened ruins of the
foundations of the building. Curios-
ity seems a prominent feature with
Americans, especially Sussex coun-
| tians.

Herrings selling three for quarter
| The writer also saw robin in his
yard looking for worms. Are any
of these true signs that spring will
soon be with us? We will await
further developments before we don
our spring suit.

At the regular weekly session of
the Wilmington M. E. Preachers As
sociation, held last week in the Grace
Church house, was, for the first
time in its history, turned into an
old-fashioned class meeting. A
score of pastors of local and nearby
M. E. Churches gave their Christian
experience. Especially % interesting
were the testimonies given(by Rev.
F. G. McSorley, Rev. Vaughn S. Col
Inns and Rev. James T. PrOuse, re-
tired ministers. Over forty years
ago the Rev. James T. Prouse was
pastor of Glendale charge. He was
not very strong from a physical
standpoint, and sometimes he seem
ed so weak that many thought he
, would be unable to fill out the Con-
ference year. One old, gentleman
remarked to the writer as the pastor
passed along the street, 1--WE shall
have a dead preacher on our hands
before the year is out" This old
man many years ago went to his
reward, as have nearly all members
of Mr.. Prouse's flock at that time.
Those who are still living will re-
member that when Mr.. Prouse de-
livered a sermon, he preached for a
time and then paused to shout" and
so on until the end of the discourse.
What the writer would like to know
is, Did Mr.. Prouse when he attend
ed the experience meeting which
was held in Grace Church last week,
| iY,o1i1,ofiAYa 10 fchn1If'
what prevailed with him when he
was pastor of the old Glendale
Church, which was burned many
years ago."
Sunday in the Church School was
Missionary Day. Supt. E. F. Whit
ney in charge. The reading by class
number six was very entertaining,
as was all the doings of the school
for that day. Attendance good. Col
lection large.
Rev. T. Howard Jones, D. D., OF
Sheffield, Mass, will assist Rev.
Frank Herson, of Milford, in three
weeks revival meeting, which will
start March 10th.
The people of Ellendale will not
soon forget the grand work accom-
plished by DR.. Jones at this point
last fall. DR.. Jones is strong preach
er both from a mental and physical
standpoint, and seems never to tire
in the work what he is enjoyed in.
We feel sure that the people Mil
ford will be pleased with nim IN
every way. We also feel satisfied
that success will crown his efforts
while enjoyed in revival work at
our neighboring towns.
