The proposition to have the town Of EileH-
dale Incorporated, is an absorbing topic about
the stores CT the town, and there is some OF
the talest kind Of electiOneering being done,
that would be a credit to general election.
The advocates of Incorporation appear to be
in the majority, but the factions are pretty
evenly divided Monday last the first meet
ing was held to appoint a committee to for
mulate a charter; there was clash, and in
spite Of snow knee deep, there was full at
tendance and intense interest Those in favor
ofincorporation won the points: ]. A. Ellie
good, president and DR.. SAMSON acted as sec
retary. A committee was appointed COM
posed Of E. N. whitney, John Prettyman and
Dr. SAMSON to draft the charter, and when
com pleted,it will We submitted to popular
vote for adoption and then there will be
battle royal.
The snow has placed an embargo on all
kinds Of outdoor operations, and It also found
some with depleted wood-piles. Last Satur-
day a big six-horse snow plOw from the Belts
neighborhood opened up the roads for the
first time, and Glendale was soon filed with
eager shoppers and seekers after news. The
second storm left us in worse condition than
the other, and on Monday everything like

through and she is now much improved.

We have greatly enjoyed a delightfully."- |
written book by an old friend and former
resident OF Delaware, Dr. Rhoads, which he
has given the title of "a thunderstorm"
We have been charmed with the beautiful |
sentiment and interesting told tale of what
we think must be taken from real life, that |
we found ourselves unable to abandon Its .
reading until the last page was turned, and .
the evening passed until it was near morning /
whel it ended. Could works of Its high /
moral character supersede the trashy novels
in the households of the peple, the intellect
Of our children would be elevated and i'm
proved We congratulate DR.. Rhoads and
honor him as Milford boy, and commend
his work to the public and libraries whereso'
ever dispersed. The book is a gem IN litera-
