Milford chronicle., 1909-04-16
ELLENUALE.

Amer a long consideration we have solved
the riddle as to what &c. r. Co." the Lincolr
correspondent Of the Chronicle, had in his minC
when he termed the Glendale folks "swamT
Angels" and "D. A. c." from Milton. has as
sisted ns in arriving at the solution by stating
that in his belief the term swamp Angel" a
applied, meant 10 convey the idea Of a big gun
which kills al long range We deduct the
meaning 10 be zone that can whip the swamp
ers al Lincoln Al anything they may suggest"
&c. R. c." had the audacitY 10 challenge an
Glendale schoolbOy 10 a shooting match with
what he termed crack shot Of Lincoln last
winter. and his man was badly beaten. Now
he has the efrontery 70 brag on an ordinary
piow horse and dare Glendale to produce his
I equal in speed. Well on Saturday last, this
I town accom- modated the Lincoln folks; they
matching joseph MOrgRn's horse against the
Well-knOwn PAGER OF Walter Workman of this
town. and Morgan was whipped 70 a standstlll.
With all the joekeying and tricks practiced
J the Lincoln folks only made laughing stock
OF themselves We have only the kindliest
feelings for M Morgan, but when &c. r. c."
attempts to belittle Ellendale. we must brand
him as a bag Of hot air. Ifthere Is anything
else you want TO meet as IN let as know, as we
are willing TO accommodate Lincoln al any
time. Glendale stands out boldly as a peer OF
Lincoln in any game but II you have no good
horses we will send you our trottinR mule or
even our old brindle cOw-either OF which can
wipe up anythiBg you have offered so far
Sorrow came TO the home Of Mr.. and Mrs.
Harvey Wilson last Monday morning and came
suddenly Their little SOD Robert, aged nearly
four months, had been ailing for a short time,
but nothing Of a serious nature was anticipated
The baby had kept them awake until near 4
q. m, when II apparently went TO sleep In its
crib The father shortly amer went to II and
found that It was dead. II was a terrible shock
to the mother, who has been in a critical con-
dition as a result. The child came to them as
Christmas present, and was very tenderly
loved. The funeral WAS held on Wednesday
and interment made IN Red Mems Cemetery.
A case came to our knowledge last week
where a promising young man broke into |
citizens home 20 steal whiskey. This is de- 1
plOrable, and we are sorry that the love Ofliquor
HAS been so strongly transmitted to a boy that /
be should deliberately commit a crime to as 1
suage his unnatural desire for liquor We used 1
to cry outlagalnst the drunken men who came |
to Glendale every Saturday night from Mil /
ford, aud made general disturbance OF the |
peace under the days OF the hotels, and 1t will |
possibly take years TO eradicate the liquor lust /
which these days created. Then. under the |
hotel license, the drunkard had the right and |
privilege TO disturb the peace and comfort Of |
the whole community by drunken scenes.
Dr. Robert Ellegood and Dr. Combs came :
from Wilmington last Monday in an automo-
bile TO pay their respects to Ellendale friends.
A new fad has struck our ladies aud our
mayor, David H. Reed. is concerned in II, and
they had a big time az his home last Monday
night when progressive euchre, with handsome
prizes. were the reward for having eXceled.
The fun centered around the fact that Isaac
NailOT won the "bOOby prize, a donkey, and
be was the but of the jokes until midnight,
when the handsome dining room was thr0wn
en-, and there Mayor Reed presided In his
usual grace and perfection. A series OF these
suchTes are to be part OF the social routine Of
fllendales select society for he seasen.
Amer selling his personal property at auction
ast Saturday, Mr. and Mrs. David Warren LEFT
or RehObOth, where they win reside.
We learn that Professor Brooks put our old
riend, George Jones' out OF business in their |
lebate al Milton on the subject Of schools. !
Well this seems to illustrate the fact that
when we get old we lose our power to keep
breast Of the times. Get out Of the way.
ienrRe the world has moved on and you are
ack number. The young men Of progress have
riven on IN the procession. Paul Pry.
