stagnatiOn In Business

stores of late have remarked on the
scarcity of customers, who general
ly patronize these stores at this
r time of the year.
One of the largest stores in the
United States, is reducing their ex-
penses by discharging a part of their
employees and those who remain are
given q week off without pay.
1t seems that this stagnatiOn in
, business has been ever since the
crash in the stock market TOOK
place. -.
Perhaps we have not seen the
worse yet. People are living in such
:, a fast way, that it is liable to bring
dire results to those who are living
beyond their means.
Wages as paid to employees Oh
different trades today cannot stanu
, they must come down, and IN
coming down will leave those who
have been expending too freely and
y saving nothing in very unsatisfac-
tory way to say the least.
Death Of Lizzie PettyjOhn
Lizzie PettyjOhn, a respectable
colored woman, was found IN a dy-
ing condition near her home on
Monday morning.
Z She had been missed since Satur-
dav night, when she left her home
to go outside, saying to her COM
! uanion, May Abbott, that she would
soon come back and go to bed. she
. must have wandered away, and not
being in good physical condition,
must have experienced a stroke oil
paralysis.
She was found Monday morning
by some of her neighbors and con-
veyed to her home. where she ing
cred only a few hours when death
came to her relief.
1t is strange that this woman was
allowed to be missing from her
home so long without anyone seek
ing to find her. For nearly two days
and nights she had laid near her
home exposed to the weather. 1t is
great wonder that she lived through
the ordeal. Her body was removed
to her sisters home at MillsbOrO ior
burial.
Raising BrOileFs
The people who have engaged III
the business of raising brollers nave
had extreme good luck with the bid
dies which they bought from the
several hatcheries in the State and
elsewhere. Very few of the chickens
have died. This will leave large
margin of. profit, although brollers
at the present time are low IN price
New Public Road
THE new public road which is be-
ing built by the Levy Court OF Sus-
seq county leading from EllendaIe
to Jefferson's Cross Roads will be a
great convenience to farmers living
on this route. This road is a very
much needed improvement and give
' the landowners an outlet to the
nearby markets. We understand that
the Levy Court is making fine job
of this work. How would 1t do ior
the Levy Court to put top coatlhe
of tar and stone and make this i'm
portant highway permanent in dur
, alton?
Boy Scouts
The Boy Scouts are making very
slow headway at this point. Several
have dropped out. If the boys could
4 recognize the fact what a training
theV would receive by remaining
: with the troop, they would very re-
luctantly give up the position they
now occupy with the Boy Scouts ol
Ellendale.
Carnival
4 The Glendale Firemen will hold
n carnival commencing on July II
~ and ending July 10. They intend tC
make it more interesting than any
vet held. Free prizes will be given
. away on each night.
Frost
> Several of our farmers have re-
norted that frost of killing nature
has prevailed for the last few days
One farmer said where he mad
nIanted corn in low piece OF chal-
Wv ground-that the frost which fell
on Sunday morning about killed the
Another said that the oak end sas-
safras bushes showed that they had
been hard hit. This is unusual, 50
late in the season.
News in General
John w. Beebe has opened trs'
class grocery store, and also sells
Il gas and oil for automobiles. HIS
store is situated at corner for OLD
state Road and the boulevard, lead
sNing into Glendale. We welcome Mr.
Beebe to the ranks of the up-to-date
merchants. -
The produce business of N. E
Prettyman must be on the increase
tas we notice that he has lately add
ed another truck which will be used
ito gather eggs and poultry from the
country districts.
The Roberts Paving Company
(which is building the highway from
Ellendale to Owens, received last
week several cars of machinery and
will commence to lay cement some
day this week and expect to finish
tby the middle of July. This company
has an up to date equipment anC
with their experienced men which
they brought from North Carolina
are prepared to do first class work.
physician Needed
|, 1t is said that three physicians
will soon locate in Georgetown anC
'nractice medicine at that point.
We are of the opinion that if one
at least would change his location
and come to Ellendale instead of the
county seat he would not only fine
a, warm welcome but a paying bus
mess as well.
