+ Samuel Goodwin of Delmar, was
in town on Monday looking for
set of speckled chickens. He had
an odd name for them but we
can't recall it just now.
Next Saturday, october 2, will
be registration day. Remember
everybody must register to vote
on November 2. Many are plan
ming to take advantage of this
opportunity to get on the regis
tration books.
Mrs. Myra Huber has returned
from a two weeks visit to her
son and daughter in Darby, Pa.
A day of sunshine and other
wise delightful weather greeted
the ones who attended church on
Sunday morning. The pastor of
Emmanuel Church, the Rev. Frank
R. Buckley, preached an able,
very interesting sermon. He
chose as his text the third chap
ter of st. John, 18th verse, For
God Sent Not His Son into the
world to condemn the world but
that the world through Him
might be saved. He gave several
timely illustrations of what God
has done and what He promises
to do in the future. It was all
clearly expressed and clearly de-
fined The congregation, a larger
one than usual, listened with rapt
attention and enjoyed the dis
course quite a lot.
George Smallwood of Parks
ley, Va, was a visitor here on
Monday.
Delaware towns are growing
fast and this spirit shows no
slackening. House after house is
going up and about all of them
are in modern style. The towns
of Delmarva peninsula have the
enlarging spirit, and thus carpen-
ters and mechanics of various
grades are kept busy on good
wages. Some towns are overstep-
ping the rate Of progress by add
ing a whole new section to their
fine layouts in several instances.
1t is quite assuring to see such
widespread improvement added
where in that town the section
was quiet and no move for pro
gress shown. This was the case
for many years and many Wond-
cred when the spirit of progress
would show itself. Of course,
with all of these changes, there
has come a remarkable change of
faces, too.
Again the world series is COM
ing up or are now in progress.
That rafting good show is sure
to cause the television fans to
stick pretty tight around the sets.
Among the local fans the Cleve-
land team is favored for the
championship while few are for
the Giants. One fellow who
walked to town to view the TV
scene Of the world contest, said
he walked from Delaney to
Townsend just to view the world
battle with a few friends here.
He said he wanted Cleveland to
win and many others feel that the
Indians have a good chance.
Many hope that good weather will
favor the world games so as to
cause no delay of the outcome.
Jennie Morris of MiddletoWn
used to be a good shot with a
rifle or shotgun. She used to hit
targets galore and apparently
could outshoot the men shooters.
Whenever the sportsmen held a
shooting match, she was invari-
ably on hand, and usually took
away the turkey when it was the
prize.
All kinds of stores and factor
les are being offered to locate on
the peninsula. If all were to-
really locate in this area, it would
make too many to be placed, so
they could operate on their US
ually busy scale. Someday a ma
jority of them will be located on
the peninsula and what a busy
place the peninsula will be. Some
think they would be so numerous
as to block out busy run of any
industry. We hope not.
In the old days the mullet fish
ing was a dead easy task. In
that case, men and boys would go
to the ponds where a wrecked
mill dam had given away, and
leaving just a stream 10 or IL
feet wide they could stand there
with a dip net and scoop up a
dozen mullets with no effort
worth while. The men we notic-
ed at Silver Lake one day had
