Howard Anderson Much Improved BY
His Trip Through The West. Farm
er's Train At Glendale. Other Items
Last Thursday evening as the Farm
er's Special Train was passing through
Glendale enrOute to Georgetown the
engine jumped the track while crossing
the Queen Anne Railroad tracks. No
.eason for the trouble has been discov-
cred, unless the heavy load of agricul-
tural talent was particularly heavy.
Several hours delay and much disap-
pointment for those who are interested
in the display was the result.
We are the recipient of nice letter
from Howard Anderson, traffic mana
ger of the Queen Anne Railroad who
with his charming wife and baby are at
Hot Springs Arkansas in the hope of
recuperating his lost health. Mr.. An
derson is suffering with Diabetis. The
last report from the sick man is that
there is a great improvement in his con-
dition. 1t is our hope that so valuable
and accomplished a man as Mr. Ander-
son will not be cut down in the bloom
of manhood and that he will soon return
to his home restored in health.
Mrs. Jennie Reed, wife of Colonel
Dave Reed and mother of Mrs. Ander- |
son, is seriously i'll at her home.
Reeds spacious cottage at the brick |
yard and now occupies nice home with /
Colonel Benson. at Fleatown. Mr.. |
Shockley is an expert accountant and |
we are informed hewill during the win |
ter months straighten out all books and /
accounts of the Fleatown affairs, and |
hereafter be the accountant, stenO-
grapher and typist for Colonel Benson,
Captain Milman and Major Hammond
the three most notable gentlemen of
that village.
Ainsworthy Abbott, who has a corn
mill lust west of town. has remOdeled
his plant and added another building
He is now much better equipped than
formerly for handling his large, grow
ing trade.
Hog killing is now on and the sqeeel
of the hog is the regular order of af-
fairs. John Ennis up to date is the
record holder for raising large hogs.
His hogs weighed 400 pounds each.
Robbins Pardee is visiting his parents
for the holidays.
We expected that last Friday would
be a red letter day for the farmers a.
round Glendale because of the Educa-
tional Train which has been traversing
the state recently by order of the rail-
road with the pretense of helping the
farmer 1t was a perfect fizzle and
there were more officers and speakers
than audience. The m anager an
nounced that unless the farmers were
more interested they would avoid Ellen
dale in the future. In order to procure
In audience, the school teacher was
prevailed upon to let the little ones
tome to the car so that they could be
talked to. The only attraction this
caravan produced was Mr.. Soper's dis
play of apples, which were surely fine
specimens and he distributed them so
freely. Now we will as a representa-
tive farmer, suggest that if the rail
road company wishes to aid or assist
the farmer and help him to profit by
the aid, let them exert their energies
ia procuring a market for our product
and we will grow the material without
their teachings. 1t is a laughing joke
that we should be taught to grow pro-
luce when we have it in abundance go
ng to waste and rOtting for the want
If good markets and cheaper and better
transportation facilities? PAUL PRY.
