Many of the farmers whose land
has been leased expect to be living
on Easy Street in the near future
1t would be fine if oil could be
found in Delaware. Many farms
have been leased now, Oakly, Ellen
dale and other parts of Cedar Creek

Farmers should carefully scruti-
nize any and all leases before sign
ing them.
Maple Branch Ditch
Maple branch ditch which passes
through Glendale Swamp is being
cleaned and all distractions re-
moved by the Relief Commission.
The taxables are required to de-
pOsit with the commission one fifth
of the cost, in the case the account
allotted is $240 and with the sum of
$50 deposited by the taxables max
ing a total sum of $500 ample to give
the ditch a thorough cleaning. With
the money left in the hands of the
treasurer after paying the deposit
to the Relief Commission will be suf-f
ficient to keep the ditch clean for
the year 1884.
This work of the relief will save
the farmers who own land bordering
on the ditch several hundreds of dol
lars. Robert H. Swain is the over
seer and the work will keep eight
men busy for at least a month.
New Dwelling
Oliver Lynch, one of our young
has a neat bungalow nearly
finished and will occupy it at an
early date. The bungalow is built
outside of the corporation of Ellen
dale on a lot recently sold by FL
wood Lynch, situated on the DUPONT
south of this town.
w. w. Houseman, superintendent |
Lincoln and Glendale electric light |
plant is having a new bungalow built
on the lot which he bought of H. W.
Jester opposite the NJ. E. Church.
The cellar is dug and the building
will be rushed to completion.
George NJ. Reeds bungalow is
about completed and makes a very
nice appearance. We suppose the
house warming will take place in
he near future.
Glendale has building boom at
present. May it keep on until all
,ur carpenters are fully occupied.
