SELBYVILLE
Presents Writer with Souvenir


of the Milford Chronicle presented
the Selbyville Correspondent with
little favor in the form of a pin
cushion, made of purple velvet and
mounted on an up-to-date miniature
slipper or pump, which he had whit
tied out of a piece of white holly
wood with his pocket knife, requir-
ing a full day of his time, and the
only assistance he had was that of
his daughter in threading the needle
TO make the cushion. AS his stories
and description of SelbyVille when
he first knew it, are always as in
teresting to the writer, the follow
ing story was given with the pres
entatiOn of the slipper. Mr.. Long
was not quite sure of the date, but

1875 and 1880 he and the late Levin
J. Holloway of this town, Gather of |
DR.. Fl. V. Holloway of Dover), |
owned and operated a saw mill To- |
Gated on our present Hosier Avenue, |
probably taking in the back of the |
lot now owned by Armell A. llud- |
son, and as the two men were also
house carpenters were hired by Will
liam S. McCabe, deceased many years
ago, to build store house and went
with Mr.. McCabe back in the swamp
to supervise the cutting of the trees
for the building. one holly tree be-
ing among those cut. When they
had sawed the trees into lumber and
had erected the store. Mr.. Long used
The holly for the covering of the
counter thinking the white wood
would make better finish. About
five years ago when william Green
berg purchased that same building |
ON what is now called Main Street
and later was having il remOdeled. ,
