A banquet was given by the Masonic Lodge in their temple
Friday evening which was attended by the wives and sweethearts of the
members. Eatables of all kinds were in
abundance and all had a delightful time.
Mr. Norman L. Hayman who was injured in the railroad yard sometime
ago, resumed duty this week.Mrs. W. E. Penuell, who has been dangerously ill for the past two weeks, is greatly improved.
A large store building, built of concrete blocks similar to those used in the construction of the First National Bank, will be erected by Mr. Veasey in front of the Bank of Delmar.
Miss Bertie Hearn, who is attending school here, visited her
parents near Seaford this week.
It has been suggested the salary of the preacher of the
Methodist Episcopal Church be raised from $800 to $1,000.
Considerable mud-slinging has occurred between some of the
residents of Delmar through the columns of the Laurel State Register. It was all caused by a desire to extend the
town corporate limits on the Delaware side.
Naturally those who had land that was in the proposed extension objected
strenuously and this resulted in considerable hard feelings. All this, however,
was not justifiable in provoking the attack on “Fair Play” by the writer of the
article signing himself “Clique”. It was
a discussion of public interest and not one of personality, but “Clique”
overlooked this in a desire to assail the personal reputation of “Fair Play.” He lowered himself to adopt a mere school-boy
trick of his younger days . A man’s self
respect should prevent him from adopting such language as “clique” used, but
self respect did not evidently out any figure in the instance. “L” hit the nail on the head and said the
least about it.
