Forests Depleted
Many forests in Sussex county
was depleted by the late storm.
Trees which had been a hundred
years in growing and had stood
many storms, but the late storm was
so severe they had to give way.
Reports coming from many parts |
of Sussex was that these giants of |
the forest had fallen in great num-
bers.
The Glendale Swamp suffered the
loss of many trees, and the scenery |
will not be so beautiful as it has |
been for sometime to come.
Some of the shade trees in Ellen
dale were torn up by the roots and in !
falling damaged telephone and cleo
trio light lines. Those trees which |
did not fall their foliage was simply
torn to shreds, and the streets was
Uttered with limbs and leaves.
Fodder Saving on
The farmers are now busy trying
to save what fodder the late storm
left. The blades was simply riddled
by the gale which prevailed in this
section some weeks ago, and fodder
is so badly damaged as to be not |
worth saving and the farmers will
be without fodder to keep their
STOCK through Ine winter.
Baseball
A very interesting game of base
ball was played at Milton on Labor
Day between Glendale and Milton
baseball clubs. The score stood
to- in favor of Glendale. Ellen
dale baseball club is open for games
and will meet all comers.
