Milford chronicle., 1920-12-24
GLENDALE

We read with disgust the false and
foolish statements which were print
ed in the Philadelphia Record and all
so the Wilmington Every Evening this
week, which stated that a slick young
man had been in Glendale cajoling
the people. and attempting to get them
to supply funds for him to start
factory of some kind. There is not a
word of truth in the statement and
our people are not of the kind TO be
carried away with any financial plan,
without first making a close investi-
cation. Such articles are a slur upon
Glendale and its influential people.
We need factories in the town-but
at present there is nothing doing in
the way of promotion.
1t was reported that Harry w. Jes-
ter, the leading business man of Ell
lendale, was stricken with paralysis
last Tuesday, while in his automobile.
The facts as we have been able to
gather them are as follows. Mr.. Jes-
ter had been out to one of his farms
on business, and while riding in his
automobile, he was attacked with
case of Indigestion, which was the |
result of a disordered stomach. Tele- !
phone calls for a physician to Milford |
brought DR.. Barratt, who administer
ed to his condition. His condition is
very much improved at this writing.
and the people of Ellendale are gen.
orally very greatly pleased to know
that the illness is not more serious
Mr.. Jester is now in the prime of his
business life, and is one of the larg-
est employers of labor in this place
perhaps the largest dealer in timber
and mine props in the county, and his
would be a serious blow
to the community of Glendale.
The wedding bells have begun to
ring out their Merry Christmas
Already two have occurred,
and others will soon follow. On We'd
nesday evening of last week John !
Walker of near Milton, a prosperous =
farmer, and pretty Miss Viola Pass !
eldest daughter of Mr.. Alfred :
Passwaters of near Oakley were hap
ply welded by the Rev. Barrett at
he parsonage at Glendale.
On Sunday evening our venerable \
md good citizen Mr.. Edward Dicker- L
on, who runs the Star Route between
lere and Milton, was married in Mil
on to Mrs. Marker widow of the
ate Jonn Marker and sister of Mr.
). F. Walls of Milton. Mr. Dickerson T
5 fixing up his home property here, r
0 the coming home of his bride. We f
ytend to this worthy and so highly L
couple, our best wishes for S
happy future K
At last our beloved and honored d
astor, Rev. Barrett has been pro- NJ
ided with a fine horse, to replace
ne one recently lost. They also pro-
ided him with a good supply of corn
nd fodder for the winter. Mr.. Bar
stt requests to extend to those, par
cularly Mr.. Sam. H. Fisher, Bert
illman and Wilbur Deputy, who took
le lead in the affair; his most pro-
,und gratitude, for cheerfully aiding
i'm in his misfortune and loss. We
ill say on our own account that it
a great pleasure to us and a credit
any one to aid so noble and worthy
hristian, that we all love and honor.
Our good people and the Sunday
,hool scholars are very active in
eir efforts to make this the most
aborate Christmas event of the
hool. The exercises and music will
fine, and beautiful tree, and
eat treat is in store for each schol- nu l,i
The public is invited. This Fri a pll
y evening. s.i

ry hard to get. What has been made m mtne

. makers. Many little tots will en-

seems no outward sign of ~~.-
Christmas, or many fat turkey
lners. and we are providing quiet :
dry yule tide. Not even jug of j.
