GLENDALE.

The election on Saturday was a
great victory for those in favor of
incorporating the town of Ellen
dale; the vote standing SIS for to 22
against. DR.. SAMSON read the pro-
posed charter, and it was adopted
section by section; but there was
some animated discussions during
the meeting. The tug of war was
when the 6ual vote was taken, and
then it was that all the wire-pulling
commenced. No colored man was
permitted to vote; but the women
property holders we're given the
1ieht to vote, and voted against in
cooperating. One woman whose
temper was riled remarked that If
they incorporate the town, 1 will
sell all the property have got here
to some negro, and move to George
town" but she will change her
mind about that. The names of
the incorporators for the charter
are: James A. Ellegood, D. M. Don
ovan, M. L. Welch. Harry Jester
and Harry Coverdale.
We read the letter from H. w.
P" of Shawnee, in last weeks
! CHRONICLE, and endorse his posi-
tion for fair play in the interest of
the farmers. We must admit that
the business men of Milford are far
behind the times in the matter of
clearing the streets in front of their
stores in snow storms. One store
keeper refused the privilege to hitch
a team in front of her store, on the
Grounds that we did not buy from
her store. Our daughters are grow
inc ND now. but we do not patron
ize that store. We remember in
the early days out in a pioneer vii
lace. the merchants would build
sheds in the rear of their stores fol
the accommodation of the fairness
which we're used as shade in sum
mer and shelter from storm in win
ter. Why cannot the Milford mer,
chants arrange for the same kind
of accommodation Some sucf
enterprise on their part would in
crease the volume of business IL
Milford and ease growing demand
for a steamboat, except to shil
awav produce and to receive good
CO. +ha merchants. This brings Il
mind a remark made by a farme
here in Ellendale; he said that
would be nice to have the town in
corporated, as then the street
would be lighted and the sidewalk
paved, ,affording the farmers conve
nience and safety to get to an
: from the stores. The merchan
replied. yes, it's nice for you t
eniov this at another's expense
We were surprised to hear this mai
row view from a business man; h
lacked discretion, to say the least

! the golden egg for him; for witt

rington. Mr.. Griffith has been a
great sufferer with that dread dis
ease consumption. They broke up
their pleasant home in Wilmington

thew remained about a year hoping

Messrs. John Waller, VIM. Potter
and Charles Gordon, had quite an
experience last week. They went
with their railroad gang to help
clear the snow from the railroad
near Centreville. It was with great
difficulty the banks were removed
from the track, as some of the deep
cuts we're drifted full and mixed
with CLAW and gravel from the ad-
iacent fields, owing to the high
wind during the storm. They were
seventeen hours without sleep or
rest, and their provisions run low
before they completed the work.
The men came home completely
worn out.

An old farmer had choice lot OF
cows, and neighbor. seeing the herd
In the pasture, asked for how much
he could have his pick OF one. "Twen-
ty-flve dollars" said the owner. "All
right I'll be around tomorrow and
select one" The next day the owner
Of the cows told his hired man to
drive the only poor cow In the lot to
the barn. Soon the buyer put in IN
appearance to buy cow. He missed
one. however, and was suspicious.

my pick Of the lot. Where Is that
other cowT' "oh, that cow you don't
want" said the owner. "She IL old

buyer insisted on having that COW. lie
suspected she was the best one Of the
lot. "All right, them" said the seller.
"Drive that cow out. John" The
COW was driven out. and the buyer
would not look at the rest. but pur-
chased her at once and drove her home.
A day or two afterward he came back
and accused the seller of cheating him
and wanted him to take the cow back,
but the old fellow refused. saying that
the buyer had had his pick.

When Henry Ward Beecher was on

he was visited at his hotel In q little

the great preacher was especially cor

away one Of Mr.. Beecher's travelling
companions took him to task
II marvel at the warmth Of your
greeting to that man." he said.
"Why?"
Didn't you notice his eyes--how re-
markably close together they weref
That Is a bad sign"
"Not in his case" said Mr.. Beecher.
Didn't you observe his nose? It is
high and thin--the nose of great man.
With a nose like that, why should his
eyes waste space by sprawling wide
apart? The man is all right"
Mr.. Beechcr's judgment Of his caller
was correct, as subsequent history at
tested.
