olIlNS
The advent of the many bird
which only remain here through tn
warm season, would indicate tina
spring was really here
The weather has been very cold
and fires, are in order to keep tn,
chill from penetrating into the bod
les of those who are old and feebl,
and whose minds have becom'
clOuded by the infirmities of old age
The young people in these days
are very susceptible to the cOlC
weather existing. One reason fol
this is the meagre portion of clio
thes which they wear, not sufficient
in many cases to keep their bodies
warm. If you say anything to them
along these lines they will quickly
tell you that il is the fashion to be
garbed in that particular way and
will continue TO obey the dictates of
fashion though II means loss of
health.
Ellendale Markets
The markets here are fairly well
supplied with fish. oysters and
CLANS. which sell at reasonable
prices. A truck visits the town once
week selling grape fruit, oranges,
tangerines and apples. and they say
direct from the Southland.
Several trucks from the Eastern
Shore pass through the town each
week selling potatoes at a very low
figure.
Southern vegetables have made
their appearance and cabbage, beets,
lettuce. spinach. tomatoes are on
sale at prices about as cheap as the
home farmer can raise them.
In the fruit line we can buy
strawberries at 25 cents per quart,
and they will get much lower as the
season advances. Eggs are only l0I
cents per dozen and chickens from
10 cents per pound up. Meats are
selling at Il very low figure. and
home grown turnip greens are in
abundance.
Wheat and corn have advanced,
which sOuld be welcome news for
the farmer. If person has work at
the present time even at low wages
il will not take much money tO keep
the wolf away from the door.
Hogs JOWl and Turnlp Greens
That delectable meal which peO-
pie can have when hogs jOwl and
turnip green's are abundant. add a
bag pudding cooked with the greens |
and you have dinner worthwhile. |
The greens are suitable for any |
one to eat but the hogs iowl seems II |
little heavy for those who are af- |
ilicted with dyspepsia.
II used to be that turnip greens |
were only grown in the spring, but |
now the city markets are full of
them all through the winter months,
coming from the Southland.
Sussex county has been noted for
q number of years as the place
where originated the grand dinner
of hogs jOwl and turnip greens, and
bag pudding. and today the farmers !,
will tell you that there is no more
luscious dish tC grace their table
than that old fashioned food, hogs /
iowl, turnip greens and bag pud-
ding. II is good enough for a king.
Physician Needed --. ,- ','.
II seems to the people of Ellen
dale and surrounding country that
a young and active doctor could find /
an easy living by settling at this
point. In the days when DIR. Samson
was living he had more than he
could do. His office practice was fine.
Stone roads leads to all points and
the wear and tear of automobiles
will not be so great as when travel
ling over dirt roads,
Al Milford. 61a miles away they
have two hospitals, and stone road
leading there. make them easy of
access 10 a physician who has need
for them.
There is a large scope of country
around Ellendale including both
Slaughter and Cedar Necks which
should produce about all the work
which an up to date doctor could do.
AS many young men as are bo-
ing graduated from the medical col
leges of the country each year, it
seems strange that some of them
cannot be induced to settle here.
Dog CateherS In Town
The past week has been one of
to those who own dogs
on which the tax has not been paid.
The agents of the Game and Fish
Commission have been here and
dogs caught running at large were
killed on sight.
There are lot of dogs which
have no homes and are constantly
prOwlinS around sucking egga and
slOp buckets. This class
of CANNES should be put out of the
way. We wish to say to those whose
duty il is to Kill this class of dogs,
come again. You did not get all.
New Store
Davis c. and Eva D. Draper have
opened new store in the Pretty
man block, corner Main street and
Railroad avenue. They are display
ing a stock of goods which are
marked at very low prices. We wish
them much success in their new
