Road From Slaughter to
Cedar Beach
The extension of the road leading
from Slaughter Beach to Cedar
Beach is now being built by the
Levy Court of Sussex county under
the direction of r. Clark Hill, coun-
ty engineer.
( The road is partially built and a
continuation with a gravel road
would be appreciated by the citizens
of Milford and all Of Cedar Neck
combined.
The gravel pits on the Simpson
land at Slaughter Beach will af-
ford sufficient material 20 buiud the
road and the gravel is OF very good
quality and will make a good and
permanent road.
With the building of new bridge
at Cedar Beach over the creek will
open up the shortest route from
Slaughter Beach to Milford or any
part of Cedar Neck.
The Levy Court of Sussex county
under the direction of Mr.. Hill, are
improving the roads in different
parts of the county at a rapid rate.
Let the good work continue.
Rounding Up Chicken Thieves
In several places in Sussex cOun-
ty chicken thieves are having a
hard time.
About ten have been arrested and

bulk of the thieves and farmers and
others will feel more safe in the flu
ture in regard to their poultry
flOcks.

New Saw Mill
A new saw mill has been located |
near the Blue Hens (Wallins) Gar
age, about one mile northwest of |
Ellendale and near the dU Pont |
Boulevard. Ray Tucker, the own
er, is prepared to saw at short no.
tice lumber such as two by fOurs,
boards or any other lumber of rea
sonable lengths.
James w. Jester is making his an
nual visits among the farmers try
ing to sell lime for the spring
crops.
Mr.. Jester reports very little mon
ey in the hands of the farmers at |
the present time and no inclination
on their part to purchase either fer
tr7hiah thnW
would be compelled to go in debt
for the same.
The present outlook for future
crops is not of that promising ma
.ure which would warrant the far
mers in placing any more liabilities
on the crops which are yet to grow.
