PAUL PRY'S GLENDALE
LETTER.

The weather has been cold to husk
corn, but there is still a lot of corn
out and the farmers are rushing to
get it done, in spite of the cold. In one
instance an elderly woman sits all day
at the corn shock, while the young
men shiver around the stove and call
it cold weather.
W. B. DickersOn, Jr., made a repu-
tation Tor himself last Friday when
he was husking corn for John Jones.
In eight hours he husked, tied the fod-
der, shocked it and rounded up the
corn from twenty-four shocks. This
made over one hundred heaping bas-
kets Of fine corn, many of the ears
being so long as to make it difficult
to get them into the basket crOsswise.
Who is the next eighteen year old boy
to come forward with a corn husking
record.
Many Glendale people are already
making arrangements for a gay Christ
mas season. Some will spend the hol-
idays at family reunions, while others
will go away. Among the latter are
Miss Gertrude Dickerson and Willard
Dickerson, who will visit friends in
Philadelphia.
On Saturday evening the elderly
couple who were recently married,
were serenaded by the boys here and
fifty-two gun shots fired under their
window, but even this noise did not
awake these peaceful sleepers and the
boys departed much disappointed.
Mrs. Lena Anderson and daughter,
Jane Reed Anderson, will spend their
Christmas holidays at the Ohio home
of the former superintendent of the
Queen Anne Railroad, Mr.. Troxel.
Mr.. and Mrs. Cove S. Belts have
moved with their effects from the
home of Mr.. Stone, where they had
rented for naxt year, to the home of
her father, Mr.. Messick, where they
will make their home in the future.
There is now much speculation con-
cerning the DUPONT Boulevard. 1t is
now predicted that the road will be
speedily constructed. The purchase
Of the farm of Jehu Clendaniel by
John Townsend, one of duPont's most
workers, has removed the
greatest obstacle in the pathway be-
tween here and Milford.
The Pennsylvania Railroad section
men are now working full time, which
IS very unusual, and shows the acti-
lity of the road.
A new mail agent is coming near /
Glendale, from Lincoln route, in the /
person of Roscoe Hitch, who defeated /

The second lot of foreign help which
was sent for by the Stetson- Ellison
Packing Company, left town this week
The company have packed more than
twenty thousand cases of sweet pota-
toes. They have afforded the farmers
ready sale for all the second grade
potatoes, paying as high as eighteen
cents per basket for seconds to fill
their last order, and everyone who
wished was given work. Some OF the
women and girls have made fifty dol
lars in the potatoes alone. Who can
say the third year of this packing
company has not been a blessing to
our town. We hope it will be a pros
porous one for the firm and their fore
man, Charles Perry, who has used his
best endeavors to faithfully serve the
firm and yet taken the stand that the
American people should not be de-
prived of work to please foreigners,
when there is employment for both.
