NEW LAND BOOM
NEAR GLENDALE
Paul Pry Reports Expected Land Sales.
Wreck On Pennsylvania Lines at This
Town. Glendale Wins From
Lincoln in ScraPPy Game.

There is now a new enterprise in store
for the people of Glendale and vicinity.
| Several promoters have been at the home
of R. j. Clendaniel, who controls over
! 1000 acres of swamp land hereabouts,
and tried to interest him in a project to
buy up all of the available swamp land
that could be secured at a reasonable
price. They would like to secure ten or
twenty thousand acres. If it can be Sc
cured a drainage system would be in
stalled, and foreign labor brought here
to clear up the land and make it tillable.
1t would then be put on the market for
sale. Let US all get together and en-
courage this great enterprise, and try to
induce them to buy land here.
What at first seemed to be a great
wreck of the south bound freight train
on our siding at noon last Monday,
proved to be only small mishap. When
the large engine drawing the train was
turning into the siding, one Of the cars
was derailed. While another engine was
trying to pull the disabled train back on
the track a rail broke and derailed sew
eral cars. A wrecking crew was then
summoned from up the road and the
large derrick lifted the cars back on the
track. The engine was sent to the shops
for repairs. The 2.30 north bound mail
train was sent over the Queen Anne
road to Greenwood and made her trip,
but all other traffic was held up until
evening, when the obstruction was re-
moved from the tracks. The railroad
men are trying hard to fix the blame for
the trouble, but our track master, Mr.
Wilson, has been eXhonorated of all
blame, for a thorough inspection has
shown that the track was in first-class
condition. A large crowd of persons
watched the workmen putting the cars
back on the tracks.
Our boys gave the Lincoln base ball
team a severe wallOping last Saturday,
the Lincolnites efforts
to cheat and play every kind of trick on
them in order to win. They have dis
gusted US and our team has refused to
play them under any conditions.
At the home of Samuel Fisher, who
is seriously i'll, things have been cOmpli- |
Gated by the illness of his daughter-in-
law, who has been acting as nurse for
him. Both are now under the care of |
DIR. Samson.
Reuben Smith, of near Bridgeville, !
has moved here to take charge of one of |
Bob CiendaniePs sawmills near town.
On Wednesday morning when Mr. and |
Mrs. John Davis, of this town, arose
they found their only and first child,
Lille, months old, lying between them
cold in death. The child had been sick
since its birth. The coroner was noti-
fed and authorized Justice of the Peace
lester to take testimony. Funeral ser
vices were held at the residence by the
Rev. Pardee on Thursday morning alto
, clock, and interment made in Red
Mems Cemetery by S. ]. Wilson & Son,
funeral directors, of Milton.
Edward Todd is in hard luck. His fine
year-old colt was caught in wire fence
IN Tuesday and broke its front leg.
