Serenades
Our boys have been busy the past
week serenading some of the newly
welded couples. They paid their re-
spects to Mr.. and Mrs. Jean Tucker,
Mr.. and Mrs. George L. Carpenter
and Mr.. and Mrs. James H. DonO-
van and were finely treated.
The serenades of today lack the
vim and noise that use to go with
serenades of ye Olden days.
An old fashioned calethumpian
serenade was something to be reck-
oned with when cannons, guns, hOss
fiddles, drums, mill saws, cow bells,
sleigh bells, tin horns, WASH boiler s.,
all kinds of tin pans and every
other kind of cOntraptiOn that could
be mustered Zip was used. The noise
made by this musical combination
vas generally successful in bring
ing the newly-wedded couple to the
front door, where they were gener-
ally invited in to partake of re-
freshments. Our boys will have to
get up more enthusiasm to compare
with the boys of the days past and
gone.
Gardening
The mild weather we have been
having for the past few weeks has
created a gard 9ning fever among
some of our people.
They have cleaned off the ground
aDo spread manure on their gar
dens and were getting ready to plant
tie seed when snow and sleet arriv-
ed, stopping all preparation foT the
future. The garden plOws, hoes and
rakes were put away until a later
date. There will be plenty of time
when spring arrives to plant and
have a successful garden.
Turnip Greens
To the old time people turnip
greens in winter were not thought
to be good and they were rarely, if
ever, used in the old days. The
spring of the year was the only
time when this luscious vegetable
would be eaten. They had to cover
their patches with pine brush or
other material to keep the winter
weather from freezing the turnips
out of the ground. When the spring
like weather arrived they put up
their tops and the first one to gather
a mess of greens was considered
lucky person. No turnip greens were
thought fit to eat unless cooked with
hogs jowl, which gave them a pc
culiar flavor; added to this was an
old fashion bag pudding which add
ed flavor to the whole. Turnip
green's, hogs jowl and bag pudding
is a standard dish in Sussex county
during the spring-time and during
court week in April is much in de-
mand at Georgetown.
Now we have all kinds of greens
during the winter months, turnip,
kale, winter cress and spinach are
offered for sale in our markets. J
We are not familiar with what it
lakes to create Vitamins A, B, c,
etc. but we do know that physi-
,ians recommend all kinds of green
to build up and keep the
human system in good shape. The
absence of this nourishing food Of
.en causes severe illness. :
Oysters! Oysters!! Oysters!!! :
Our market has been generally +
with a fine grade of Oys-. !
.ers. The cry of the venders and the |
.oot of their horns can be heard
Turing the day and part of the night.
These bivalves are much sought af- :,
.er by our people as they make .
most tempting meal. 1t is a pity
hat some of our streams have be- !
,ome polluted and oysters taken
rom these creeks are not good for I
eating unless cooked. /
