GLENDALE.

David II. Reed pushed a contract he had,tO /
deliver the piling and lumber to build the
Queen Anne railroad at Lewes,t to a close last /
week, when the last stick was loaded Mr.. |
Reed is a hustler.
The Reed Bros basket and box factory |
started up on full force making peach baskets
and berry crates. They have several large
orders.
For the first time in Glendale history, a
part of the female portion OF our population
has been into a row with law suit resulting.
The trouble was all over chickens. and one of
the main actors in the affair is a dusky dam
sci from South Carolina, who abused a lady
shamefully. Esquire Ellegood placed the dis
turber of the peace under heavy bonds. When
released, she swOre out a warrant against her
fair opponent, who was required to furnish
similar bonds to keep the peace The affair
started the gossip mOngers in full swing,aud
the men folks of the families are involved
more or less in the trouble.
1t seems strange that skilled mechanics do
not settle here. Many from neighboring
towns are employed here, and some of them
are as follows William Workman, of Milton,
who has a carload of lumber here from Lau-
rel, to remodel X. A Woods store; Thomas
Conner, Of Frederick, who is finishing the In
side work on w. S. Dickerson's residence;
George Walker, Of Greenwood, who is paint
ing several houses; Charles Cook, of Bridge
vile, who is hanging paper and decorating;
Henry Marvel of Milford, who is doing plas-
tering on several new jobs of work; Currey
Macklin,o of Lincoln, who is plastering a new
house for Thomas Baker; Ford Welch, Of
Milton who is painting on Mr.. Bakers house.
Z no al for
workmen,and why some good men don't To-
cate here we can't understand.

American Mechanics had a fine time among
