yeafn IOf the scenes OF long ago,
Wounded By A Stingaree
George NJ. Reed, of this town
while engaged in fishing with a par
ty of friends at Fowlers Beach OF
the Delaware Bay caught in one o
the hauls which they made for fisl
a large stingaree.
Mr.. Reed, thinking to have some
fun with the fish commenced tC
prod it and having allowed himself
to get too near-the fish with a fiji
of its tail on which is located the
dorsal spines and struck Mr.. Reed
J. ON his ankles, making severe
wound.
Mr.. Reed grew very faint and
was hurried by automobile to Mil
ford where he was treated in one OF
the hospitals of that town.
He arrived home Saturday much
improved
We suppose Mr.. Reed will give
all stingarees a wide perth in the
future.
Stealing Holly
Miscreants are invading the holly
forests and rObbing the trees of
their foliage. This should be stopped
at once and the offenders punished.
If things keeps on as they are now
going we will soon have no holly
trees left.
We understand the leaves are us
ed in shipping crabs to the city mar
kets and are very superior to marsh
grass or any other material for this
purpose.
The people through the wreath
season which occurs in December of
each year make good money and
bring to many homes pleasures they
would not otherwise have.
If the depreciation of the thieves
are not stopped the poor children
will miss their little presents which
come to them at the Yuletide sea-
son.
Carnival
The carnival being held at Ellen
dale by the firemen will continue
until July 10. They need the help of
all. Go out and in every way aid
them. They are worthy in every
way.
A chicken supper will be served on
Saturday night of this week. Prices
will be reasonable. Supper will be
served at $3.50 p. m.
Farm News Around Ellendale
Wheat is about threshed out. The
prices are so low that the grower
will lose money on the crop. The
farmers will have to reduce their
acreage for another season.
Corn is looking good and with
plenty of rain when it begins to ear
Quit will yield an abundant crop.
Tomato fields are looking good.
There is much complaint OF black
rot, but we hope it is not serious and
will not materially injure the crop.
Soy beans needs rain and with
plenty of moisture will yield full
crop. This is a crop which the far
mer generally makes some money.
Blackberries are about over. The
dry weather about ruined the crop
and the grower lost money in grow
ing them.
Huckleberries are now coming in
to market in large quantities. The
dry weather has affected this crop.
They are not so large and many
have dried on the bushes.

propers has been busy for several
weeks in shipping by barge from
Milford to Pea Patch Island, three |
thousand piling of different lengths. |

Clendaniel has several other con-
tracts on which he is also working |

sons he has ever experienced.

The death of General Hall which |
took place at his home in Milford on
Saturday last, cast a gloom not only |
over Milford but the State as well.
Mr.. Hall had filled many positions of
trust and power, and the business
world will miss his counsel and in
fluence. He had many friends in Ell
