.ELLENDALE HAPPENINGS


shore before Saturday morning. ThC
crowd was reported very orderly
and very little drinking was noticed
! II will be only few years when
these annual gatherings of both
white and colored at the seashore
will be entirely abandoned.
Harvesting Fodder
Many of our farmers are now en-
gagged in harvesting fodder. The very
early corn is fairly well made, but
later crops will be slim for the want
of rain. The drought has affected
severely many sections in Sussex
county, drying the fodder up so it
will be scarcely worth saving. The
drOughth has not only affected the
corn crop but all other crops are
showing the need of rain and unless
it comes soon they will not be worth
harvesting. Farmers have been un-
able to plow their ground for wheat
and clover. The soy bean crop has
failed to mature; the bean pods are
not filled and the crop will be used
for hay only.
The farmers are being hit on all
sides, but cheer up you tillers of the
soil, there is brighter day coming
when you will be able to move on
Easy Street.

the married and single men of Ell

last. The single men defeated the
married men by score which stood
at the finish 9 to 8.
