MIDWAY
(Near Bethany Beach,

This section of Sussex county,
, located halfway between Millsboro
and the eastern coast of the county,
is composed of preventative farm
ers, fruit growers and poultry pro-
ducing people who have made a
success of their VocatiOns. They
are folks who enjoy living upright
and square in their dealings.
Although not located upon any
railroad, but enjoying good roads,
they meet friends from the large
, cities, who have not forgotten the
, land of their nativity, and who
, spend many week-ends during the
year in old Sussex county; at the
homes of relatives, at the sea shore
and summer resorts which mean
happiness for both visitor and the
visited friends.
This situation has made thickly
populated rural community, which
forms the great mass of moral char
acter in the citizenship, and those
who reside in this or similar places
in Delaware, are indeed fortunate.
The people delight in social af-
fairs, that take form of dinners, par
ties and social gatherings that those
in city know nothing of, and all
take part in such events.
Honor Isaac West
Family names carry respect, and
when anything is to be observed, all
take part-for instance: A birthday
party was arranged as a surprise
on April 18th, 1888, for honoring
the birthday of Isaac West, which
was a splendid success for all con-
cerned.
The good wife of Mr.. West CO.
operated with the plans, so that il
was a complete surprise for him.
The evening was just one round OF
pleasure for all present, and, of
course, there were many presents
which were greatly appreciated, and
also a splendid serving of the finest
ice cream, cake, candies and fruits.
When the merry party reached a
late hour the participants departed
for their homes. happy in having
paid respect to a fellow citizen and
one worthy the honor shown for him.
