The boys of these days have los
the art in preparing a serenadt
which in the old days was alway
effective.
News in General
% Miss Ida NJ. Walls of Milford an
John H. Ellingsworth of Ellendal
were married on Tuesday night
May 20, by the Rev. Conrad Hamer
pastor of the NJ. E. Church at Ken
ton. We wish this married couple ;
long and prosperous life. Anothe
callathumption serenade is in order
Fry to make it more Snappy thai
the last one.
House cleaning which has beer
engaged in by the ladies of the towI
Is now near the end. We know thai
the men who inhabit these homes
are now rejoicing as sleeping in the
attic and one went so far as to say
he was compelled to sleep in the
barn, are now over, and the painting
and paper hanging will pass for an
other year.
The trouble is to find anything
which will match up. Clothes, un-
1erwear, shoes, have been misplace
ed, and the man who can find enough
clothing of different kinds to make a
respectful appearance on Sunday
morning is lucky Individual. We
must bear with the ladies. No home
would be a happy one without the
presence of one of the fair sex.
Have you seen Fred ITeland's new
boat. It is a dandy. CLANS, oysters,
fish and crabs will have to take to
deep water to escape the clutches of
the owner.
A wave of crime seems to be
spreading over the country. The
daily papers are full of crimes of
this sort.
It seems strange that people who
engage in the nefarious business
cannot be rounded up, and put be-
hind the bars for time at least.
Ellendale was for many years ex-
empt from this petty thieving now
going on, but last week, Luke Pos
les shambles were broken into and
about one hundred pounds of beef
taken and on Saturday night last
Mrs. A. B. Vests general store was
entered by thieves and large por-
ton of shirts, Overalls and under
wear was taken. Up to date no one
has been apprehended, so it goes.
officers seem unable to cope with
the situation. Thieves, like the boot
logger, are allowed to pursue their
calling without fear or hindrance.
If things do not improve and peo-
pie who engage in petty thieving are
not made to respect the law, then
people who own homes will be
afraid to leave them for fear that
some wandering thief may enter and
purloin some valuable stuff during
their absence.
The recent rains have been of
great value to the strawberry crop
now ripening. The farmers, while
not getting full crops will be able to
market enough berries to make it
paying venture. The berries now
coming into market are very fine
and the later crop bids fair to be a
bumper one.
The blackberry crop is now in
full bloom and from the present out
look promises to be large one. The
rains which have fallen lately have
put new life in the crop and the far
ners who grow them will be amply
paid for their trouble.
Early potatoes are looking fine.
The yield promises to be heavy.
There seems to be few peaches in
Neck, but only few.
Apples, pears, cherries and other
fruits will yield enough for home |
So we should be happy.
