GLENDALE

The farmers and tomatoe grower!
around here are becoming desperate
over the loss of the money of their last
years tomato crop. Their patience has
now become exhausted. and it is mat
ter of becoming angry, having beer
promised so often and the time having
elapsed without an apparent effort on
the part of the Shannahan DeBOw Co.
to meet their debts, We are now re-
quested to ask all who have tomato
bills against Shannahan & DeBow to
meet in Reeds basket building next
Saturday evening, January Both, to dis
cuss means to collect their accounts, or
to employ an attorney to fight the case
for them. Many express the willing
ness to give half their bill for the col
lection of the balance. But Saturday
evenings meeting will give the warn
ing as to their course of procedure. 1t
is the hope and belief that these gen
tlemen, who we still like to believe are
honorable, will bring about a settle
ment of this disagreeable matter, as
they surely must realize the grower
needs his money.
While the farmers are now idle from
active farm work, they are turning their
attention to sports and amusement.
These moonlight nights are ideal for
coon hunting, and many are enjoying
the fine game, while hounds are ever
eager for the prey.
William Bennett seems to be the most
successful hunter and we are informed
for publication that few evenings ago
he caught big coon, weighing twenty
eight pounds. the finest specimen ever
seen by this veteran hunter. 1t looked

1t is with sorrow we learn of the
death and burial of our most highly
esteemed friend and relative, Mrs. Ann
Mills, of Milford Neck. According to
the family records she was born on the
home farm, where we now reside,
eighty-seven years ago. She leaves a
large family of prosperous and highly
esteemed meh and women, as well as
hosts of friends. Rev. Otis B. Reed,
Of Glendale, conducted the funeral ser
vices and preached one of his most able
and effective sermons.
d. NJ. Donovan, the railroad agent
here, became seriously i'll with acute
indigestion on last Sunday, which for a
time became so as to alarm his rela
tives and friends. At this writing he
is better.

Edward Conway. Mr.. Conway was
well-known here in his younger days, |
and his many friends were again de- 4
lighted to shake his hand in greeting.
Elijah Pettyjohn, and his daughter,
have returned to their quiet farm home,
after a lengthy visit with his two sis
ters in Philadelphia and Chester, Pa,
where they enjoyed to the fullest the
and sights of the city.
The revival meetings are progressing
llowly after a months tireless efforts on

he many sinners to repentance, with

Twelve forts scattered over the interior
of the country-deserted. No soldiers for
them.

that Fort Des Moines or Fort William

ambushed by an army OF Bulgarians or
Hottentots or Mexicans?
But we must have the forts. and must
spend the millions building them. because

\ great many farmers make

is in poor flesh, such resolutions

resolution made during the winter
about the building Of silo.
