Ellendale is proud of its fire com.
pany. whose past record is one oi
efficiency in every way.
Surprise Party
A surprise party and a miscella.
neous shower of nice things was
given Mr.. and Mrs. George NJ. Reed,
Jr, at their home, corner of Rail-
road avenue and Willow street, on
Friday of last week. Those present
were: Misses Mia Clendaniel, Ber-
nice Donovan, Edna Dawson, Sarah
Clendaniel, Bertha Clendaniel, An
eta Short, Florence and Mildred
Heath and Mrs. Herman Benson of
Lincoln City; Miss Anna Sheppard,
Mrs. Harvey Coverdale, Mrs. John
Ellingsworth, Mrs. S. H. Fisher,
Miss Hazel Derrickson and Isaac Ell
lingsworth of Ellendale. The gifts
received were both beautiful and
useful and duly appreciated by Mr..
and Mrs. Reed, who in a very fitting
manner thanked the donors who
were present.
Refreshments were served in
abundance after which the guests
said good night and retired to their
homes, having spent a very enjoy
able evening.
Chicken Thieves
Those persons who seem to think
that they are exempt from any law,
have been plying their trade of late
in purloining the chickens of the
people of Ellendale and neighbor-
hood.
We cannot see why some have not
been caught and punished before
this. Farmers and poultry raisers
cannot forever stand such things as
are now permitted to go on, which
could be stopped if the officers
would do their duty.
A few arrests and suitable punish
ment given by the courts would help
in measure to stop the wholesale
of poultry now going on.
If we have to resort to something
more drastic to stop men from steal
ng, then a dose of "Old Susan"
might cause them to consider be-
lore committing the act again.
Something will have to be done
before the farmers and poultry rails
RS throw up the sponge and go out
# the business, for want of protec-
ion.
