dale. Paul Pry Makes New Years
Resolutions For Others To
Follow.

!. Follow.
h Now it is 1913, how many New Year
resolutions have we made, and how man
o of us have resolved to turn over a ney
leaf and lead cleaner and better lif
/ in the future When we stand arOunt
the store corner and hear the ObnOxiOu
a language that spoils the morals of ou
r nice young men, we think there is muci
room for improvement, and now is the
: time to resolve that no more filthy to-
baccO cigarettes or bad languages viii
be heard. If any one of US have not
the strength of character or manly cour-
age to abstain from these bad habits,
let them go to the meetings that will be
held next Sunday for the special pur-
pose of reforming all such arrogant sin
ners and give them strength for repent
ance, so they will then regard such ha-
bits with disdain and adherence. So
now you bad boys, let US all attend these
uplifting church services and be good
hereafter This is our New Years res
olution, and we will see how many will
follow it.
We were awfully glad to see the smil-
ing countenance of our old friend and
neighbor. Billy Calhoun, in town on
Tuesday. 1t does one good to clasp the
warm hand of such a genial gentleman.
The merry jingle of the lively sleigh
bells as well as the loud peal of the
wedding bells has been the event of
Christmas week.
The most important one was that of |
our most popular boy, now of Philadel- |
phia, Mr.. Wilbert Short Welch, only |
son of our mourned citizen, Joseph Welch |
and Mrs. Carrie Welch, and grandson
of the late Honorable Alfred Short, the
founder and first settler of Glendale.
Mr. Welch was from his infancy a pet
in our family and with all who knew him.
On Saturday last, the 28th, he returned
to his native home and took to himself
the love of his bOyhoOd for life part
ner, and the loving and cheerful Miss
Eula M. McIlvain, as his beautiful bride
he starts his life anew. The nuptial
knot was tied by Rev. COlOna, of George
town, at the residence of the brides
parents in Georgetown with her sister,
Miss Eva as bridesmaid, and Mr.. How
ard Prettyman, of this town, as best
man. They went to his newly construc-
ted home in Philadelphia the same day,
where he has lucrative business and
will make their future home there. We
must say frankly that brighter pros
1ect never cast its beam of luster upon
a more hopeful life than this, and our
hearty congratulations follow them into
heir bright and prosperous future.
On the eve of the great universal
Christmas day our sweet little neighbor,
Hiss Margie, eldest daughter of Reuben
J. and Anna Smith, of Glendale, gave
Ter heart and hand to the youthful but
manly keeping of William Carpenter, of
ear Georgetown. These are very young
eople, but strong and energetic and 90
lto donble harness full of hope and
rlt. They will reside near Georgetown.
Not least comes the Christmas day
uptials by the Rev. VIM. R. TAYLOR at
ne Lincoln parsonage of that great six
Dot manly young giant, Roland Beau
1amp, of near Glendale, to pretty
.iss Sara E. Draper, youngest daughter .
that once proud nabOb of Slaughter E
eek, Mike Draper. now of Slaughter +
each. We have no acquaintance with &
ese young people and can not com :
ent on the match. They have secured :
e farm of William Workman, at JEFF 9
rson S Cross Roads where they will z
AXE their future home. They have !
4 profound congratulations. y

dy was moving. We never saw so =
any changing homes; it would require
Whole column to name them and space r

est OF homes among us, but strange e
say there are none leaving as all who
