ing happy again. Henry Meyer hac
experienced what it was to be COM
paratively rich, but when poverty
came hNs way he was just as joyful
and apparently as happy as when
enjoying his wealth.
Such few who can stand sudden
prosperity and when dissipated
such a few can emerge from the
wreck with a song on their lips
ready to start anew to climb runss
of the ladder which leads to sue
cess.
TO Widen the du POnt Boulevard
Walter Roach and Sons of George
town were the successful bidders in
widening the du Pont Boulevard
from Georgetown to Milford, Il dis
tance of more than sixteen miles.
Mr.. Roach who has been a sue
cessful bidder on many of the ce-
ment roads of the State and it is to
his credit that the work which he
performed was always done in a
workman-like manner and have
stood the test of the travelling public
passing over them.
The stone roads from the du Pont
Boulevard into and through Ellen
dale, and the road from Milford and
Rehoboth to Slaughter Beach are
samples of work done by this firm.
The writer cOngratulates Messrs.
Roach and Sons on being able to
win the job over so many competi-
tors.
We hope when they get to work
they will be able to use as many of
our citizens as possible now out OF
work and help them to bring to
their homes that joy and comfort,
which comes from being employed.
Fish Market
Our market has been very we'll
with fish of different kinds
or the last few days.
Herring have made their appear
ance but the price is prohibitive.
Black perch of large size, were
offered for sale this week. These
ish, if properly fried, and with a
lice piece of corn bread, a good cup !
1f coffee, not only makes a tooth
some dish, but a meal fit for a king |
o eat.
Button Factory
The button factory situated in this !
own and owned by H. w. Jester |
vas closed down for the past week.
We hope that the owner will soon
zee his way clear to open up again
III full time.
Many of our men and boys find |
work in this institution, and being
brown out Of work at the present |
inc, makes it a hardship for them.
1t is a pity that more factories of
kinds cannot be establish
ID here, giving employment to our
leOple who at the present time have
o seek employment elsewhere.
Rain! Rain!! Rain!!!
Very little rain has fallen in this
ection during the winter months
ust passed. The ground has been
cry dry but the rain Saturday night
nd Sunday will do a great deal of
ood, allowing the farmers to plow
heir grounds with comparative
ase.
The flowers are now springing up by
he wayside and the trees of the
Drcsts arc now putting forth their
uds, will need a vast quantity of
loiSture from now on to produce
nc sap necessary TO bring them to
erfectiOn.
The clover and wheat fields have
to show the effects of
ccCnt rains and if the needed rain
Dntinue to comes, both of these
elds will yield normal crop.
arber Shops
For quite some time our town

Ow we have two. John Johnson has

It hair and shave and guarantee a
st class job
bySician Needed
Ellendale certainly needs the ser
ces of good physician. There is
ore work in the town and sur
unding country than one man can

an keep him busy.
At Milford, a few miles away,
ere are two hospitals. which can
reached in a few minutes.

BILE. Taking everything in consid-
alton this town would be a fine
ace for a young doctor to settle.
