long spell of sickness, to give the Chron
icle readers the news Of passing events
that interest our stirring little village.
We we're highly amused at our brother
correspondent of Lincoln the other day
when he was in Glendale It was MOTTO
able how he seemed to be amazed at
something. When We ventured TO in

there was, and that all the peaches in the
county and the only prices obtained for

fairly dazed him, and he was really pit

ried away with the place, and now he
declares that he would like to live here
if he could only afford to wash up little
and look decent like our gentlemen do
here We do not want any old buns
here. We want workers, hustlers, and
business men. Plenty room for such as
them here.
Our peach market is quite brisk, as
about two carloads per day is our amount.
No high prices have been realized. We
need new buyers,as our three men under
stand each other too well. Prices run
from SOC for white fruit to Soc for yellow.
SOC is a good average.
While Fred Clendaniel was threshing
oats for Will Tucker last Friday, load
caught fire from spark from the engine
and before the team could be removed,
one Of Charley Deputy's fine young
mules was so severely burnt about the
back as to be lai6 up for a while. These
threshing engines are very dangerous,
and should be compelled to either burn
coal or protect the public against the
sparks. Two bad woods fires occurred
from this engine last week, and only the
timely rains saved a great confiaeration.

along our streets.
