GLENDALE GAMERS
PREPARING FOR WORK

Mrs. jamie Reed wife of David Reed
was taken to Mercy Hospital, Balti
more, last week where she is undergo
ing treatment. For the last two years
Mrs. Reed has been suffering much from
spinal trouble, and although everything
that money could command has been
done for her she has grown steadily
worse. Her daughter Mrs. Howard
! Anderson, is constantly at her bedside.
/ Colonel Dave returned home from Balti-
more after visit to his wife and stated
that she is much improved Her many
friends and neighbors here are anXiouslY
awaiting the time when she will return
among them in good health.
The rainy weather and cold snap has
! put the carpenters out of business, and
the bang-bang that has been constantly
heard in this town for several months
past is hushed. There will be a revival
of building activity in the spring, how
ever, several new buildings being con-
templated
1t certainly is a pleasure to go into
town now these dark nights and see the
brilliant streets once more after months
of miserable management and darkness.
We congratulate Manager Williams on
his success so far.
The Ladies Social Circle spent their
second adventure with Mrs. Lombard
last Wednesday and they must have had
a gay time for they came home happy
and full of good things Paul Pry got
his too; and it was bully. These twelve
old true and tried Old Matrons would
not admit a reporter, but they could
not hide their music. None of them
could play an instrument, so they wound
up and old music box that played
Swanee River, Old Black Joe, and Home
Sweet Home and they turned up their
voices to that music box and let EN- fly.
Gee wiz, didn't they bust a note. We
do not suppose that one of these digni-
fed old stagers had sung a note in forty
years. They became so hilarious that
they tried to dance the Turkev Trot,
and one old crippled soul who cannot
walk, even waltzed a fantastic step to
tina tune of Aud Lang Syne. They
meet this week with Mrs. Pullen, they
will come to our house and you bet they
will kick up a dido. !
Our Miller, Walter Reynolds, has just
purchased carloadof fine wheat from I
Western Maryland. 1t is not speaking |
very well for our farmers that they |
cannot grow sufficient wheat to run one !
mill. The mills, however, are rushed /
with work on corn for family and stock
feeding.
Mr.. Debo, from Bellaire, Md, who
is a member of the Shanahan Canning I
and operates the plant here,
is here in the interest of this years
pack. Since this firm proved so salts
factory to the growers and laborers last
year it is expected they will have no
trouble in procuring contracts from the
best growers. 1t is hoped that they
will be able to procure more abundant
help to skin the tomatoes, and thus do
away with the undesirable foreign ele-
ment which is Brought here to work in
the factory.
The protracted meeting, which has.
been in force since Christmas and dur
ng which time over twenty converts
have been made, is drawing to a close.
Rev. Pardee has opened his Annual
Meeting at Union Chapel, and thet
meeting here is in the hands of the
members. Il
George Jester has returned home after
pending the winter at Wyoming, Pa.
he soon fell out with that hilly and
black coal mining country and takes
'efuge by the open fire of his old home
n the balmy cline of Delaware. Il.
Joseph Young lost a valuable young
lorse last week after losing one of his
inc span Of mules recently.
We acknowledge the receipt of the
diltOn Times from friend Bahringer and
Wonder why it does not come each week
IS he makes mighty good use of our
stter to the CHRONICLE. One good
urn deserves another.
