wife were very favorably known
They were on their way to spen,
the winter in Florida when the ac
cident occurred.
Mr.. Cross was a kind hearted, gel
erOus man, of which any section
might be proud. He was a good cit
izen, active and progressive ant
whatever he undertook to do, it gen
orally brought success.
The writer bought a cottage a
Slaughter Beach, 81 years ago. Mr.
and Mrs. Cross were among the first
to welcome us and to do everything
in their power (as long as they re-
mained there) to make our stay al
the old lesort both comfortable and
pleasant.
Another friend has passed to the
Great Beyond, only a few are left.
To those who are left behind to
mourn their loss, the writer and his
family extend their deepest SYM
pathy.
Cunning Trip.
N. E. Prettyman, Arthur Russell,
of Glendale, accompanied by Dora
Bryan. of Lewes, went on a cunning
/ trip to RehobOth Bay on Friday.
/ They had extremely good luck, kill
ed thirteen wild geese and two
ducks They say that it was not

Holly WTeaths.
Our people are engaged in MAX
inS holly wreaths. The demand this
season is not what it has been in
former years and the prices being
paid, four cents per wreath,is the
lowest for years. The poor people
will have to do without some things
which in other yuletide seasons they
have been able to buy, owing to the
high prices of wreaths. The hard
times have affected the wreath mar
ket severely-but the worst of all is
the poor people will have to suffer
accordingly.
