Organization. Glendale Man Buys
More Timber Land. Horses Sick.

We were terribly mortified when we
saw our last weeks letter, which stated
enormously, that the Miss Bessie Reed
who married Mr.. Massey was the daugh-
ter of the late Senator S. E. Reed of FL
lendale. We did not mention in our re-
port that such was the case, and it is very
annoying to have the report misquoted.
We beg pardon from Miss Reed for the
shock and aggrevation this blunder has
cost her The young Mrs. Massey was
Miss Bessie Short Reed, daughter of Mrs.
Clara Carter, and sister of Cleveland Reed
of Wilmington, and granddaughter of
William Short of this town, into whose
home she was taken as an infant and
reared to a most beautiful and intelligent
lady. For years she was the recognized
belle of this neighborhood, and her loss
is our misfortune.
(The article in question which appeared
in last week S issue of the Chronicle was
a mistake at this office, and no fault of
Paul Pry's. In going over the manu-
script, the mistake was made uninten-
tionally, and we trust that this eXplana-
ton by Paul Pry will straighten the mat
ter out. Chronicle.
Henry Laundry has again returned to
He reports that they have suffered a most
severe winter there. Mr.. Laundry has
sold all of his interests in Canada and
will hereafter reside in Delaware. He
has lived in every climate, from the frigid
north to the torrid SOUTH but finds that
there is no place so attractive to him as
Delaware. He expects to spend the rest
of his DAYS here At present Mr.. Laun-
dry is looking after the timber which is
on the land which will be used by the
du Pont Boulevard Corporation in build
ing their road Mr. Laundry is endeav-
oring to open up an extensive industry
by interesting our farmers in strawberry
and celery growing.
There is a movement on foot to start a
Grange organization here and to have the
defunct order at Union join with us. If
this should be successful, the organization
as body might successfully contract with
buyers for all of their crops.
Col. Dave Reed has again plunged into
a big real estate deal, and seems sure of
success. He attended big sale of real
estate at Centreville, Md, last week and
bought 100 acres of fine timber land for
S105O, which he thinks is a dandy bar
gain. We presume that he will move one
of his saw mills thereon in the near future
and cut the timber into lumber.
Mrs. Phillips has sold her 80 acre farm
near town to young family from Long
Island, N. Y, who moved here this week.
Mrs. Phillips left the next day with her
family for West Virginia to join her hus-
band, who is in the coal mining business.
We regret to lose such valuable neighbors
as these good people and we wish them
success in their new home.
William Dickerson, who recently mar
ried young lady, Miss Voshell, OF Eel
ton, has moved here. He will be en-
gagged in the timber business.
The home of Mr.. and Mrs. AlnswOrthy
Abbott was the scene of a very pretty
party last week, the affair being the Occa-
sion of the birthday of their only child,
Nelson. The egreat-grandmother, grand
parents, uncles, aunts and cousins, made
up the party. Master Nelson was the re-
cipient of many very useful presents An
old fashioned pot pie dinner was served.
On Monday night young Ellendaler
named Cramheld mysteriously lost his
fine young driving mare. He had Just
recently bought it and had driven 1t but
twice. The loss is indeed a severe one.
Robert Warren was more successful
with his horse. On Monday afternoon
while driving to his home the animal
suddenly took a hemorrhage. DR.. Rob
erts was called Immediately and saved
the animal S life. PAUL PRY.
