Our Latcst min Up INC Stnte

visiting our old friends who reside
in New Castle county.
We had received several letters of
late which were filled with prom
ises of what they intended to do for
us on our next visit.
We thought at the time that our
friends were promising more than
they could fulfill, but after our visit
was over, we had to acknowledge
that though our host and hostess
promised great things, if we would
only come-they not only kept their
promises in full, but added much,
which made our visit more pleasant,
if it could be made so. But let the
writer tell the readers of the Chro2-
icle about this trip, and what we
saw as we jOurneyed towards the
country home of our friends, who
reside at the upper end of the State.
Friday afternoon, November 6, we
prepared to leave our home and mo-
tor up the State AS usual Miss
Thayer, was at wheel, as she is
very careful driver, we always feel
safe when she directs the cruise of
the machine.
The day was warm, more like
late spring day than the first of
November. We motOred slowly as
we wished to get all the improve
ments that have been made along
the way and notice the beautiful set
ting the trees of the forest made as
we passed along. 1t would be diff
cult to find anything more magnlfi-
cent than trees of the forest when
their leaves turn to all the cOlors of
the rainbow and the sun shining
upon a scene like this, makes an
exhibition which it is hard to sur
pass, and nature cannot produce a
scene any more enticing and gor-
geOus than when the leaves from
the trees of the forest are about
ready to fall to the ground.
Stop and look. What is that which
we see lifting their heads to well
come the midday sun? 1t is flowers
blooming by the way-side. They
have escaped the chilling frOsts and
are still here with their many col
Ors to cheer those travellers as they
motor along the highway.
The grass is yet green and seems
to be that which is needed to make
the scenes more enticing than ever.
AS we move along slowly we have
to notice the nursery started by the
State, growing many trees which
the farmer can have for the replen-
ishing of the depleted forests, also
here is the Del-Mar-Va Nursery,
where you see growing trees for
both. ornamental purposes and to set
out apple and peach orchards for
profit.
Both of these nurseries are bor-
dering on Clendaniel's Mill Pond, |
stream that was noted few years |
back for the large bass and pike
which were caught there. 1t is now
nearly dry-with small improve
ments this pond could again become |
the home of many of the species of |
fish, which do well in fresh water.
AS we look across the fields we |
see looming up the town of Lincoln
and also notice the large chicken
farm which we are told that Dallas
Iibler is the owner of. AS the many |
neat chicken houses come into view
and the thousands of chickens be-
ing prepared for market, and also
the condition of buildings and land,
we have to take our hat off to Mr..
Kibler and say that he is a master
hand at the business of poultry
raising. Il
After leaving Lincoln ON the right
we soon came to the suburbs of the J
City of Milford. 1t was great to see
the many improvements made along
the highway in the last few years
the many neat bungalows which had
been built and the many chicken
farms which had been started, was
proof that there is yet some money
in raising poultry for market.
The handsome high school build
ing which year ago we thought
ample to house all the scholars who
would come to school at that point,
seems inadequate, and additions had
10 be built. The State of Delaware is
doing wonderful things in the way
Of educating the children.
The Caulk Dental Factory, one of
the institutions which has been able
TO run throughout the depression
now existing. Hundreds of their en-
ployees have found work. while
other places of business were COM
PEELED to close down. The City of
Milford should be proud of having
such building and the work
which it does, situated within its
pounds.
AS we passed along we noticed
hat Haven Lake has been improved
n the way of swimming facilities,
llso boats, fishing tackle are ready
1t all times for those who love the
sport of fishing. We understand that
his beautiful body of water is the
lome of some black bass of the lar
yest kind; but you have to catch
me to see its immense size.
Houston, which lies to the west of
he boulevard, is one of those towns
which seems to be up and doing at
I'll times, and from the reports of
is correspondent, is far ahead in
many things which towns of much ;
arger size cannot measure up to.
Frederick, that staid old town,
GEMS to be going forward at q rap
pace. Being an inland town, new
r has had any railroad facilities,
ret it has made wonderful progress,
nd with the advent of the du Pont
Boulevard which touches its borders
now makes it equal with its sis ,
er towns in importance.
