claim to make big money in doing
this kind of work.
A girls baseball club viii come
to our state in July or August
to give a few exhibition games at
few selected towns. The club
was planning to come here last
year, but few of them became
sick and the affair was called off.
This club is said to have a pitcher
who can twirl as well as any
young male pitcher. Their arrival
in Delaware will be awaited with
much interest by many of the loc-
al fans.
Shipping hogs away to the city
does not always pay. One farmer
sent a fat porker to the city
butcher and he reported that the
hog lost sixty pounds in transit.
1t was a real fat hog and the loss
hit the seller pretty hard so he
decided to send no more hogs to
the strange buyers who hand
around their cards.
Again on Sunday morning the
Rev. Frank G. Buckley gave an
appropriate sermon in this pre-
Easter season. 1t was highly in
teresting and much appreciated.
The attendance was good on the
occasion.
The present Methodist Church
here was built and dedicated in
June, 1908. 1t was a red letter
day at the dedication and drew a
big crowd of those coming to at
tend. In those days the principal
ones taking big part were
Messrs. D. B. Maloney, G. M. Hart,
Walter Hart, John Atwell, John
Lattomus, Winfield Lattomus, Will
liam A. Scott and many others.
Four ministers were here to as
sist in the big event, and the oc-
casion was a memorable one from
start to finish.
On Sunday a powerful wind
coming from the northwest swept
everything before it, causing much
destruction. 1t blew down porches,
uprooted trees, leveled fences and
knocked down several cowsheds.
The loss will be very heavy. Some
people were afraid to venture out
in cars, so stayed at home for the
time. People who live in trailers
left and sought refuge in some
house where they felt safer, wher-
ever the house was nearby. The
temperature went down to freez-
ing and made life quite uncom-
Portable to many who had expect
ed warmer spell of weather at
this time. 1t was big disappoint-
ment to persons who had expected
a warm spell to come and sprout
out the lovely spring flowers.

Walking a mile for a cigarette
is a great deal like walking mile
TO see baseball game. In the old
days men and boys used to walk
to Taylor's Corner about a mile
from town to see a ball game. 1t
was a tiresome walk then over a
real dusty road, but they would
take the trip about once a week.
When they grew tired they would
sit down and rest for awhile. It
took a full amount of determin-
alton to hike over the road, deep
with dust but they were bound to
make it.
The growth of the tomato crop
may go to 5000 acres around this
locality. Last year the tomato
crop paid well and this has encour-
aged other farmers and the gen.
eral growers to take a hand in
the coming season. The price held
I'D well during the season, and
wound up with the price of rs
cents per basket. Most any kind
of land seems suitable for the
growing of this crop.
The condition of Mrs. Sadie
Naylor continues to improve. TAX
en- i'll last October she was taken
to the home of her sister in Phil
adelphia so as to get proper at
tention. She has been resident
