GLENDALE

1t is great mystery to all fair minded
and honest people why some people will
be so low and dishonest as to enter the
melon fields of their neighbor at night
and deliberately destroy fruit that is not
ripe and is not the least good to them
at the time. These sneak-thieves will
cut open half grown and green fruit,
thus destroying that which does not be-
long to them, and reaping no benefit to
themselves whatever, which are dis
honestly taking that which does not
not belong to them. We right here
warn all such scoundrels that plenty of
hot lard is in store for them. Perhaps
these are the same ones who last week
visited the hen rOost of Mrs. Robert
Hemmons, where there was nearly 200
hens, and stole all but 5. They came
the next night and stole 25 young chick
ems. A vigilant committee is badly
needed around here to attend to such
matters.
The farmers are beginning to bring
cantaloupes in to market in large guam
titles now, and they are very fine this
year. Several lots were shipped on
Tuesday for different markets, and sold
for about 30cts a crate. White peaches
that are very fine specimens, bring from
30 to 40cts a basket. Many of the best
growers refuse to accept such prices
and are independently shipping their
fruit. There are no buyers here, except
local men who try to pick up snaps"
and the hard working farmer has no
redress, but to sell for what he can get.
1t will probably be the same with the
tomato crop.
The city guests of Mr.. and Mrs.
Abadee, who left for their homes on
Monday, are sadly missed by the COM
munity. Their nightly musical enter
tainment were a treat and will be missed.
On Saturday night the rough element
broke forth, and many drunken people
were on the streets, who wanted to
fight and make a disorder. and as usual
no officer was in sight. The merchants
will not complain against them. One
gang was taken care of by Squire Hen
driXon. in Milford, on Monday, and fine
of SO 40 imposed on one of the rough
fighters. An expensive ending to a spree.
On Sunday Mrs. Will Workman and
family enjoyed an automobile trip up
the State and to Camden Camp. Her
cousin Horace Workman, was the cap
tain of the merry party.
Our old friend and schoOlmate. Robert
B. Workman, was a Sunday visitor at
the home of his son, VIII Workman.
Many friends greeted him.

Cause Of Death.

Mrs. Woodrow Wilson, wife ot lne
president OF the United States, dled
at the White House in Washington
Thursday afternoon.
The end came after two serious
sinking spells. The president and MS
three daughters and Francis Bowes
sayre. a soninlaw, were at the bed
side at the end.
The news was announced by lhe
secretary to the president Mr.. Iu-
multy. He stated: Gentlemen: MIS-
Wilson died at five o'clock this after
noon 49,.
A minute later Mr.. Tumulty SAID
The president is heartbroken.
Months Of constant illness, which
began with a nervous breakdown, due
10 overworE. aggravated by Srfall on
the White House floor with an injury
to her spine and Brights disease had
so weakened the patient and sapped
her vitality that the White House phy-
sicians reluctantly admitted that they
had little hope and feared it was but
question Of days and probably OF
hours.
Funeral services, attended by the
family and intimate friends, were held
in the White House on Monday. A
special train was then taken for Rome,
Ca, where interment was made.

Milford chronicle., 1914-08-14

Mrs. Woodrow Wilson was born IN
Savannah, Ga. Her maiden name was
Ellen Louise Arson. She was the
daughter of Rev. Edward and Mar
garet Hoyt Axson. She came of
race of preachers, her paternal grand
father being a distinguished clergy
man in Savannah, and her maternal
grandfather, Rev. Nathan Hoyt, for
many years pastor Of the Presbyter-
ian church in Athens, Ga. She was
educated in the public schools Of Geor-
gia and later in the Art Students
League, New York.
At the time Of her marriage to Mr..
Wilson, at Savannah, June "a, 1885,
she was a typical southern beauty.
That year her husband accepted a pro-
fessorship at Bryn Mawr, where as
his wife she attracted much attention
by her charm and ready wit.
At one time she aspired to be an
artist, and was rapidly making a name
for herself as a portrait painter when
she married. Her art studies were
largely given up twenty-eight years
ago, when Margaret Woodrow Wilson
was born at Gainesville, Ga. Later,
however, she turned to landscape gar
dening and the attractive English
home of the Wilson's at Princeton
showed evidences OF her skill. Mrs.
Wilson summed up the keynote Of her
life shortly before Mr.. Wilson was
nominated at Baltimore in the words,
husband, home and children" At that
time she described true happiness as
marriage with a person of sympathetic
tastes and temperament, outlined wo-
mans true sphere as the home and
lauded the awakening spirit of Ameri
can womanhoOd. She never had a fai,
for she believed that the nerves" Of
American women were due to too
many interests.
Several of Mrs. Wilson's canvasses
were displayed in New York last year
and in Philadelphia the year before
and attracted much favorable atten-
tion. While at Trenton, when her hus-
band was governor Of New Jersey, and
at Washington she remained modestly
in the background.

May have TO GET BOX
If YOU Wish TO
. GET YOUR Mail

Should postal legislation now be-
fore congress go through as expect
ed, some $500 places in Fargo will be
cut out of mail carrier service unless
they comply with the laws require
ments and install private mail boxes
The measure reads, "On and after
July l, 1915, the delivery of mail by
city letter carriers shall be made only
at such residences and places of busi-
ness as provided at the door or en-
trance suitable Teceptacles for it's de-
posit." The bill is recommended by
the postmaster general, and there is
little doubt Of its passage.
There are now, as nearly as can be
estimated, 996 private mailboxes in
the city of Fargo. There should be
at least $500. Besides being nuis-
ance to the carrier, the lack of box
is the reason for the loss of much
mail, and gives sneak thieves an ex-
cellent opportunity to rifle letters.
A good box can be secured at a cost
of from so cents to 81, which is con-
sidered very cheap mail insurance,
and local hardware stores will prob
ably do rushing business when the
proposed measure becomes law.
