of catching these fish when on a
trip to the mill to get something
which would help fill up the larder.
Both the grist and saw mill have
gone into decay, but the pond with
all it's beauty is still there, and the
old mansion, the home of the Glen
daniels for ages past, remains stan
ding as it has done for many years
past and gone, defying storms and
wind, but still showing the rugged
workmanship of the carpenters of
the olden times.
We understand the dam has been
rebuilt, and the pond is now fun of
water, making a fine stream for
boating.
The writer about twenty years ago
stocked this pond with bass, which
he received from the late DR.. Short
ledge of Wilmington and DR.. Hiram
Burton who was at that time a MEM
Der from Delaware in the House of
Representatives at Washington. The
fish did fine and in a few years the
pond was full of bass. SpOrtsmen
from Wilmington and other points
used to have real fun in fishing for
bass with rod and line. Pike used to |
be plentiful and sunfsh were seen !
in great numbers along the dam. We |
suppose when the dam gave way the |
fish went with the escaping water |
and are now basking in the sun of |
some nearby pond. The water of the
pond was very low at one time and
only a few, if any, of the bass re-
manned.
The Fish and Game Commission
ers should be appealed to to restOck
this pond not only with bass but
other fish which prosper finely in
fresh water. In a year or so this
pond would abound with eatable fish
and the sportsmen would have fine
time i'm catching them as they used
TO do when bass were so plentiful.
Mr.. Lynch. the owner of the farm
of which the pond is part. could
if lie so desired, make of this beau
liful body of wafer a snug place for
spOrtsmen and others to come when
seeking a place for fishing, boating
Or swimming. The owner could also
furnish lunches for those who desir-
ed them. We are satisfied that the !
venture would soon prove profitable. .
The situation of the pond is fine,
being in sight of the du POnt BOule-
ward and about two miles north of I
A large sign is at the ,
bridge which crosses one end of the :
pond, and il reads: Clendaniel Mill
Pond. You cant miss ii. II is there /
It all times and in all kinds of wea- {

large nursery growing on the farm
md on both sides of the boulevard. ,
The State Nursery for the propagat- .
ng of young trees to help TO refOr-

We feel sure that this old pond ,
will resound sooner or later with ,
he laughter and glee that used to be =
heard when the young lads and las
sies went boat riding on its placid
waters in the years past and gone. =
POlitical-DemOcratic a
Governor Roosevelt seems to be .
he coming man for the nomination "
or President of the United States T
when the Democratic Convention
netts.
The attack on Governor Roosevelt -
" Ex-Governor Smith was some -
hing uncalled for, and Mr.. Smith 9
must have lost his head or he would :,
lever have permitted himself to be ;
Irawn into a position which he now :
inds himself. Many who have
hOught well of the Ex-Governor
would not support him now under
my circumstances. Governor ROose-
elt will survive the shock and will
20 on cOrraling delegates until he
las more than enough to secure the
nomination.
1t is about time that John Biggs,
r., has cast his hat in the ring. We
hink he would make a fine Con-
FRESHMAN.
How about DR.. Paynter of George
own for Governor-dOp't think you
ould beat him. If you want clean,
lonest man, DR.. Paynter will GER
ainly more than fill the high stand
I'd required for office as Governor
f Delaware.
