Holly Season

Holly Season
Holly season will soon be here
giving to the unemployed a way to
make a competence, and for the time
being able to drive the wolf
from the door. The season will open
about Thanksgiving Day, when the
buyers Of holly wreaths will go
Through the country purchasing them
from the makers. We understand
the berries will be plentiful this year
in this section particularly.
Armistice Day
November 18th is celebrated as
Armistice Day. On this day 1918,
the Allies and Central Powers in the
World War ceased hostilities. No
one can describe the rejoicing among
the American citizens when the war
was over, for it meant loved ones
would soon cross the sea for home.
Some homes were left desolute for
the strong manly sons had fallen on
foreign soil in defense of the flag,
and yet some nations seem not to
have enough of mar and want more.
This will be a subject for another
communication.
Red Mems Parade At Newark
Quite number of the members of
Hiawatha Council No. 6, d. of p,
and Ioka Tribe No. 35, 1. o. r. M.
attended the meeting and parade
given by the Red Men of Newark on
Thursday evening of last week. They
speak in the highest praise of the
entertainment given them by the
tribes of Newark and Wilmington.
The parade was a grand success.
They arrived home about 2.30 a. m.
Friday, rather late for old married
folks.
Election At Lincoln
An election was held at Lincoln
on Saturday afternoon from 2 to 4
p. M, for purpose of electing a
Democratic Committeeman and Com
mmittee woman. 1t was a three
cornered fight, and brought out most
of the Democratic votes of the Sec
ond district, in all there were about
322 votes cast. John B. Derrickson
of Glendale was elected Committee
man and Mrs. Deputy of Lincoln
elected Committee woman, they hay
ing received $50 votes. Fred White
head of Lincoln and Mrs. Webster
Warren of near Ellendale were sec
ond, they having received 120 votes.
George w. Clendaniel the present
Committeeman and his wife, of
Slaughter Neck. received only So
votes. II was a friendly contest.
The only unusual thing was to see
so many Negroes present at the polls.
Duck Shooting
Wednesday, ~ M, the law was out
for shooting ducks. Our spOrtsmen
have been getting ready for some
time: caulking their boats, over
hauling their guns, fixing their
blinds etc, on the marshes near the
sea shore. This season the law al
lows only II as the daily bag limit,
and there are several species where
only two may be killed in one day,
such as canvassbacks, red head,
blue wing teal, ring neck, Shovaler
and Gadwalls, while some of our
sportsmen are experts in shooting
ducks, most of our men will do bet
ter if allowed TO have a gattling gun.
Thanksgiving Day
This is simply reminder that
November 2Sth will be
Day. This notice will
give people time to have their tur-
keys ready. They will be cheap this
year. As the day draws near the
writer may have something to say in
regards to why we have Thanks
giving Days"
L. s. Camps For Transients
The Federal Relief Administra-
lion has announced three Conserva-
lion Camps to be established in Del
aware to shelter transient unem-
ployed persons this winter.
These camps will be located at
Dover and Laurel, but
why Laurel? a town situated very
lear the Maryland line would not be |
)etter than camp for Sussex |
county located at Georgetown, the |
1t would be more cen
raj and would be more accessible i,
han town like Laurel.
