The State Highway Department
has advertised for bids on a cement
road leading from Owens to Ellen
dale. a distance of nearly five miles.
This will be welcome news to the
farmers and others who reside on
the right of way. The people along
this proposed line have work long
and faithfully to secure this much
needed improvement, and when I'M
ished will open up direct line from
many parts of Maryland to Della
wares most promising seaside re-
sort, Rehoboth.
( Another improved road badly
needed is one which will run from
Ellendale through the Warren
neighborhood to Jefferson Cross
Roads and on to a point on the Mil
ford-Rehoboth Highway. This is a.
splendid farming section and can,
grow anything which any other Sec
ton of Sussex county can produce
The greatest need is some way TO
get their stuff to the nearby mar
kets. This road if built will supply
that need. We sincerely hope the
State Highway Department can see
their way clear to build this much
needed road this present year.
EIIendale News :.
A H. Beebe who retired from the
produce trade some time ago, has
now resumed business at his old
stand on Willow street. We gladly
welcome Mr.. Beebe back to the
ranks of our up to date merchants.
The ladies Of Ellendale are now
engaged in knitting baby suits, caps
and boottees for firms in New York
and Philadelphia. They have become
very proficient in the work and
turn out some very pretty things.
The receipts while quite large seem
to be the means of keeping our good
women in such an independent po-
sition and at the same time swell
their bank accounts as well.
Some of our farmers are now get
ting their wood ready to use during
the summer months. Wood savings
are now in vogue. This shows the
good judgment Of the up to date far-
mer who when the spring work is
on hand has his wood prepared and
don't have to stop his work to get
something that will keep the home
fires burning"
