November
/ What wonderful weather we are
having during the month of Novem-
ber 1t mas been balmy and spring
like the whole month. 1t is time now
when we should expect such wea-
ther as would make us hunt for
shelter instead of sitting on the
porches same as in the summer
time.
The birds are still with us and
their songs would indicate that they
too are enjoying this magnificent
weather.
Some one has reported that the
trailing arbutus, that wonderful
little flower, is now in bloom for the
second time this summer, and some
kind of fruit trees are putting forth
new blooms. This generally is the
season Of the year when we are
thinking how full our coal bins are
and how large our wood pile is and
from experience we know that not
far away are the Arctic winds which
some day will come sweeping this
way, causing much suffering among
the unemployed who have not the
means to purchase fuel.
This is time when the wealthy
should see that those who are in
needy circumstances do not suffer
We are of the opinion that when
the different charitable organiza-
tions get to functioning fully, there
will be very little suffering among
the poor and unemployed in Della
ware at least.
The present weather conditions
make it fine for those out of work,
as they are able to do with much
less fuel, and the warm weather
keeps the markets full of produce at
a very low price.
The activities of Governor Buck
and his associates in making ap-
peals to the public for funds, to aid
the unemployed, is making a splen-
did headway, and now looks as if
the funds obtained in this way
would be ample to clothe, feed and
provide fuel for those who are in
need.
Are our seasons changing? 1t |
seems to the writer that the No
vembers of years past and gone
were not so warm and spring-like as
the present month. Perhaps we may |
be mistaken.
Married
Mrs. Eliza J. Outten, of Pocomoke
City, Md, and George E. Carpenter,
1f Ellendale, were married by the
Row IJa1 a1.x-oxy Ado,,,e - NTsI4... -.
Saturday night last.
Mr.. and Mrs. Carpenter are now
occupying the Carpenter home in
Glendale.
Property
Cola NJ. Smith has recently paint
ID his home on State street. 1t looks
inc. What great difference a coat
# paint makes in the appearance of
property where it has been applied.
Season
The cunning season opened up on
londay of this week. Up to date we
ear of no large bags of either quail
r rabbits having been killed. The
7eather is really too warm and dry
or the dogs to be able to scent the
irds or run rabbits.
1t seems that people of these days
ont see mso keen in going after
he quail or rabbits as they did in
he days now past and gone.
