country.
Let us hope that war will neve
invade our borders and that thu
young men will never be called
again to shoulder arms and cross
the seas to help their foreign
friends to make the world safe fol
democracy.
Hunting Season
The open season for the shOOtins
of rabbits and quail arrived on No
Yember Is. The day was anything
but pleasant as it had been raining
for a couple of days making travel
anything but what was desired.
Long before the break of day the
spOrtsmen could be heard calling
their dogs and getting ready to join
in the hunt.
Those who had bird dogs kept to
the fields where quail come during
the day for food, and those who had
beadle hounds, traversed the bush
lots and other places where rabbits
are generally found.
Up to date we have heard of no
big bags of game which have been
captured but those who Ventured
forth on the first day received a
good soaking, and got very little
game to pay for the wetness which
they received. Bad colds seem to be
prevalent at the present time due
to exposure.
Married
Miss Catherine Tucker, daughter
of Ray Tucker, of Glendale, and
Norman Jester, son of Mr.. and Mrs.
George Jester, of near Redden, were
married on Saturday evening, No
vember Is, at the NJ. E. parsonage.
Rev. James NJ. Faulkner officiating.
Let the callithumpian serenaders
get on the job.
Sick
Col. D. H. Reed is still confined to
his home. His condition doesn't
seem to improve as fast as could be
expected.
Samuel H. Fisher is somewhat
improved. Rheumatism is a stub
born disease to get clear of. We
think Sam will toon take his place
in delivering the mail to the pa
irons on his route.
Edward Dickerson, one of our re-
spected farmers, seems to be still
using crutches. His accident must
have been more serious than at first
supposed.
Personal
Mr.. and Mrs. N. E. Prettyman
spent Wednesday of last week in
Newark. Mrs. Prettyman who is the
pOstmistress of Glendale, attended
the session of the Delaware Branch
of the National League of District
Postmasters assembled at that
point.
Mr.. and Mrs. Robert H. Swain at
tended a family dinner given on
Sunday by Mr.. and Mrs. Eldred In
gram of Dover.
Mr.. and Mrs. Clarence Abbott and
son Junior visited LinwOOd, Pa, on
Sunday and were entertained at the
homes of James Wilson, James Abb
bott and other friends.

Church News
The Church School was fairly |
well attended ON Sunday. Owing to
the rains prevailing, the people
from the country could not attend.
The lesson for the day was careful
ly gone over, and the discussion i'll
the classes brought out some truths
which otherwise would not have
been thought of. The Believing Cen
was the General Lesson
Title" for the day. The writer, who
was the teacher for Glass No. in
the absence of the regular teacher,
did not touch upon the race ques-
tion only in a very light way, but
we tried to convince the class that
faith in Jesus Christ not only
brought to the Roman soldier what
he desired in the healing of his ser
want, but had been the means of
healing many more who had faith
in the Master. We quoted at some
length some of the great works that
Jesus had performed for those who
had been stricken by an incurable
disease. We also brought to the
class, the fact that Jesus Christ is
the only source to whom we may
apply to be saved from our sins.
Sin is an incurable disease from
an earthly standpoint. We may try
other means but they will prove
There is only one safe way
which is to do as the Centurian did,
go to Jesus, have faith to believe,
and the work will be done.
The class meeting which followed
The Church School, was well at
tended, and all who were present
