You'll never know how lucky

One friend in town has bought
a boat with outboard motor and
will soon start gliding over the
various ponds and lakes. The only
time we like his outfit is when, if
ever, he goes grabbing and
doesn't fail to leave fine supply

and then we'll agree that his out

Despite the rainy weather on
Sunday the Rev. Frank G. Buck
ley preached to a good attendance
at Emmanuel Methodist Church.
His remarks were timely and very
interesting and much appreciated
by the array of listeners.
Going to church on Sunday is a
habit calculated to bring new
inspiration to those sad and lone
ly in their way of thinking. A
good sermon, instead, gives renew
ed ideals and a greater faith in
the Lord. We observe the smiles
on the faces of the congregation
as it moves down the street to-
ward home. 1t is really an ex-
perience worth going miles to see
and enjoy.
The rain on Sunday turned into
a series of rains that spread new
life and better looks to vegetation
everywhere. The rain fell in mild
form and was really blessing
from Providence. Crops and plants
Of all kinds were about to dry up
and the change from the dry spell
was terrific. Everyone of the
local persons seemed to rejoice as

The battle of the cats was the
comedy if everyday life that was
rendered by two residents of New
Castle County when Harry Daw-
son of Philadelphia moved to Mid
dletown he found sixteen cats
hanging around his new home. At
first, at loss of how to solve the
cat problem, he was finally ad-
vised by friends as to what pro-
cedure to take. He was advised
to box the army of cats and send
them to the man who had just
moved away from the house he
moved to. So he soon started the
cats in box to their former own
er. George Smith, who had just
moved to Kirkwood. Sent collect

were sent back to Middletown col

the cat problem was ended when
the cats went to New Castle by
mistake and nobody would do
anything to get them sliding back
and forth on the railroad again.
The express bill on the cats
amounted to s41.O0 when the af-
fair came to an end. Who paid
the bill? Well. nobody knows.

The rain on Sunday morning
brought instant and wholesome
relief to the parched earth which
had suffered from the drought of
sixty days or more and the spell
was beginning to be severely felt
by the farmers and others engag-
ed in various pursuits. The show
er was indeed a most welcome
visitor and gave no end of real
benefits to the sections where
badly needed.
The blackberry crop is again
turning out well and many pick
ers are out daily to gather them.
Boys who study what to do to
earn loose change try this method
of supplying their wants and they
often earn enough to fill their
needs. The berries sell ready for
twenty-five cents quart.
Hiring a pitcher has become a
regular stunt for the clubs in the
Bay League as it was found that
win could not be attained with
out hired help in the pitchers box.
And so the rule of years ago goes
on, when pitcher is needed they
rush out to hire one to be on the
winning side every time.
The death of Richard B. Gonce,
while expected gave his relatives
and friends a real shock and sur
prise, nevertheless. Mr.. Gonce
passed away on Tuesday, July 19
after a long illness. He had been
ill most of the time for the past
Is or 20 years. At intervals he
could get out of bed, but soon
had to return on account of weak
ness. When younger he was
hustling and first-class farmer and
kept his farm up to the minute in
the production seasons. He grew
big crops and they were first-class
one in every year of crop produc-
ton. When younger he seemed
a tireless worker and kept his
farm work done up to a nice fin
ish. He was grand man to deal
with and was liked by all who
knew him. He was well versed
on farm work and other matters
as they came up for discussion
He was 81 years of age. His wife
