We notice from the daily papers, anC
also in the CHRONICLE, that Eiiendale
wants the boulevard and that wonder
fll petition has been sent to the Legisla-
tnre i'll its behalf. Well, this world is
chuck full of selfshness and deception
Why didn't these papers publish the fact
that hundreds of people had signed a re-
monstrance against the road. The petit
ton for the road was composed of few
irresponsible and selfish ones who had
only their personal interest at heart,
while the other petition had our interest
at heart. 1t looks to us as if the matter
were one of selfishness upon the part
OF both sides.
Col. Dave Reed is laboring under cup
oveTAowing with sorrow and trouble, In
addition to the bad condition of his sick
wife, has come news that his little grand
child is laying at death door. To add
to this comes the notice of the death of
little Edwin Reed Hudson, only grand
son of his late brother, S. +. Reed. The
seven weeks old infant was so bright and
proming until a.simple operation of the
family physician caused death last We'd
nesday. The body was taken to Ellen
dale where interment was made in Red
Men $ Cemetery.
The ceremonies arranged for the OBJ
servance of Washington Birthday an
niversary last Friday by the pupils of the
public schools, and such others as cared
to attend, was a testimonial of the fact
thar patriotism and pride in our civic in
stitutions, is a living issue in Glendale,
for the School House Hall was more than
comfortably filled; it was crowded with
an audience anxious to witness the pro-
gram, and pay tribute to the OCCASION. |
To say that the ceremonies were interest |
ing, is very tame expression, for it was
with pride and some surprise to many |
to hear the eloquence and knowledge |
evidenced by the graduating class, which |
was also testimonial to their instructor, |
Prof West Too much cannot be said |
of Miss Minnie Reed, who had charge of |
the primary department and its section /
of the program; her little pupils we're so
well trained that they followed every in
struction with precision and effectively
added to the evenings pleasure; especi-
ally 10 the parents of the little tots. The
Hbig' boys under the charge of Miss
Joues acquitted themselves spleudidly,
and the people of Ellendale feel that they
have a very valuable corps of teachers in
their public schools, and their efforts in
this Washington Birthday anniversary
exercises has taught them that there is
something higher and better than dollars
and cents to be had from the services of
a school teacher. The conditions in the
past have not always been so satisfactory,
but with the present work in Ellendale
the people have just cause for
pride; they are going forward as rapidly
as any other school in the county.
James l.. Davis, of Milford, caused
much pleasure to several of his many
friends in Ellendale last Sunday, when
he came to their homes for a brief call
and visit. He passed a jolly morning '
and dined with Paul Pry." and in the
afternoon he visited his old-time friend, 4
Samuel Fisher, who at this time is G
great sufferer at his home here. We are
always glad to entertain such genial and
entertaining company.
The Social Circle of Twelve House 1
wives of Ellendale, held their weekly
meeting at the home of Mrs Alfred /
Cleudaniel, and since then the main to
pic of conversation among the members Il
has been, the fine time they had at that
meeting Plenty of the good things e
graced the table when the refreshment u
period came around, and the discussions !
must must have been of a highly enter
aiming nature, to have left so many
pleasant recollections behind them. l
Many of the Ellendale Democrats ex- a
Dect to attend the Inauguration cere- u
Monies at Washington next week; we
lOpe they will have a very happy time, q
md return home sane and sober. Il
Many persons went to Rehoboth last s.
week to see the ruins of the big fire at II
hat place. Some went by train and z
,thers via automobiles, but the latter had L
N unpleasant experience, as the mud "
vas so deep on their return trip, that the a.
Machine was stuck for hours, and some II
f the passengers had to walk a long dis rc
ance to get to the train and so home. II
On Saturday night a gun was fired in IS
be streets of Ellendale, and it caused
excitement Investigation -
rought out the fact that q drunken man =
ad fired the gun and claimed that a H
ian was trying to steal his bottle Of
Ihiskey, otherwise no damage was done,
at we have not learned whether the
fender was fined for discharging fire
rm in the public streets of the town. 81
ntil the people enforce the laws they II
ave, fhey must expect disorder and
fence against the public peace to hap
en-. Fine the guilty offenders, and
reak up the trouble; the town needs the
Ioney the fines will bring to the trea-
