The New Road At Slaughter Beach

Those of our people who have
seen the new road at Slaughter
Beach, which has just been finished
speak in the highest terms of this
nice piece of road construction.
The Levy Court of Sussex County
which constructed this road, under
the supervision of County Engineer
R. C. Hill, has done a wonderful
thing for Slaughter Beach and will
be the means of causing many more
cottages to be built in the near flu
ture.
The road is about a mile and a
half long an dis constructed of tar
and Stag, which makes a road of
hard surfice which is likely to stand.
AS the road runs back of the cot
tages it gives to every one a right to
build garages which they will be
able to reach at all times.
The whole aim of those who have
been engaged in this piece of road
work was to give to the people of
Slaughter Beach a road that would
bear the closest inspection and was
built at the lowest cost possible.
To the Levy Court of Sussex
County, Engineer Hill and Overseer
Cherry and his cO-laborers, the peo-
pie of Slaughter Beach and those
who visit the grand old resort owe
to them debt of everlasting graft
| tude.
We understand that this road will
be continued to Cedar Beach some
/ tiyoa paOyf 1yaor This mill ba fOo and
will give the people living in Cedar
Neck quick access to Slaughter
Beach. At the present time they
have to drive many miles to reach
the bay shore where Slaughter
Beach is situated.
Disease Killing Turkeys
Miss Allie Macklin who is engag-
ed in raising turkeys for the home
market has had unusual hard luck
this year.
Out of flock of turkeys number
ing about ninety, she can scarcely
county more than thirty today.
Disease has made deep inroads on
this flock so that Mrs. Macklin is
thinking of quitting the raising of
turkeys for all time to come.
The Crops Around Ellendale
The corn crop looks somewhat i'm
proved. Rain is needed and to make
the crop normal, must come in the
near future.
Tomatoes are looking fine and
with sufficient moisture should make
the farmers some money this year.
SSy beans need rain and need it
badly. 1t is wonderful the growth
this crop has made with so little
rain.
Late potatoes need rain. We are
afraid that unless rain comes quick
ly this crop will be a failure. This
is what is called a poor mans crop.
A failure will mean thai not only the
poor man will suffer, but the public
at large.
Watermelons will soon be here
like other crops they need Jain to
mature.
Cantaloupes are ripening but the
nice sweet taste is absent which
means so much to those who enjoy
them.
Careless Drivers
People should be more careful in
driving automobiles.
A man coming into Glendale Oh
Sunday ran into one of the pillows
of the porch in front, of Mrs. John
Prettyman's store, completely de-
stroying it. AS it was in broad DAY
light when this occurred, it showed
carelessness on the part of some
one. The gentleman is known and
! will no doubt made good Mrs. Pret
! tEnaan's loss.
Fair At Harrington
Many of our people have visited
| the Fair at Harrington during the
past week. ..,.
The attractions were many and
some very interesting.
We hope the time will soon come
when gambling of all kinds will be
abolished from all places Of this
kind.
We sincerely hope that the future
legislatures of this State will pro-
vide means that all fairs, carniVals
or other places of the same kind,
will not have to resort to gambling
devices to earn money to carry the
work which they are engaged IN.
