Bank Holiday

Buuh noiiudg
The closing of the banks of the
country for few days by order OF
the President of the United States,
was taken very calmly by our citi-
zens. No excitement whatever. Ev-
eryone seemed to have faith that
when the holiday was over that the
country would be in much better
condition financially. They felt sure
that it would be the means of find
ing out the unsafe banks of the ma
ton, and either to stop them from
doing business or put them on a safe
basis. We are proud of the banks in
Delaware. Our merchants and other
people here deposit with the First
National Bank and Trust Company
and the Milford Trust Company.
two very sound institutions, situated
at Milford. The people got along
very well during the holiday, as the
merchants trusted them until the
banks opened. We heard of only one
man who said he would withdraw
his money as soon as the banks op-
ened; whether he did or did not, we
have not heard-perhaps the bank
in which ii was deposited has re-
covered from the shock and is still
doing business.
Serenade
About seventy-live of the neigh
bors and friends of Mr.. and Mrs.
Davis c. Draper, recently married,
gathered at their home on Saturday
night and gave them an old fash
iOned callithumpian serenade.
Everything imaginable was used
trucks, under the management of
Charles Neibert made the night hid
eous by the noise it made.
After listening to the fine music
which the callithumpian band rem
dcred. they were invited into the
home, where refreshments in abun"
dance were served.
After the outside serenade was
over and refreshments were served.
then those gathered in the home
had a fine musical program. Two pi-
amos, violin, victrola, radio. mixed
with the fine bass voice of d. Fl.
Reed made a combination worth
hearing.
People are wondering which of
the two bands received the PRICE
the callithumpian band on the out
side, or the musical combination on
the inside?
All left at an early hour for their
homes thanking Mr.. and Mrs. Dra-
per for the nice reception which
they received and wishing them a
long and prosperous life.
Dogs
Our town is Overrun with dogs,
both large and small. We have Do-
lice dogs, shepherds, collies, bird,
hounds of different kinds, pet and
flee dogs galore.
The barking, bowling of these Ca
mines (some even mOans) making a
noise most hideOus to hear.
The sick people of the town and |
those whose nerves have become
weakened by long illness. should be |
protected from such noises.
The town authorities should look |
into the matter and if any one is
nuAsociuNCs hO9o VI
they should be prosecut- i
cd until such nuisance is abated.
Certain sections of the State, dogs /
are often prohibited from running |
at large on account of rabies. Peo-
pie cannot be too careful in looking
after their dogs.
Instead of the Legislature reduc-
ing the tax on dogs, they should ad-
vance it until people would get
clear of so many worthless dogs
around.
Fire
The Ellendalc firemen were call
ed to the home of John S. 1saacs,
Receiver of Taxes of Sussex
County, who resides on a farm
about three miles northeast from
here. II seems Mr.. Isaacs had set
piece of new ground on fire and
when he thought the fire was out,
left it. The wind sprung up and re-
tindled il. and il became very DALI
