GLENDALE

We mentioned in a former letter
that Mr.. CrOley after several years alb
sence, had moved back to Glendale.
where he has bought a building lot
from Robert Warren. He has also
bought the bungalow which was built
by John Hastings, near Glendale, and
which was owned by Harry Jester for
$500. This bungalow he has moved
to Glendale and located it on the
lot he had previously bought from
Mr.. Warren. 1t is now a comfortable
little home and Mr.. Croley becomes
once more a citizen of Glendale,
where he has taken over the news
paper and magazine business, which
was relinquished by ex-Postmaster
Good.
/ Harvey Coverdale and wife have re-
turned for the winter to Glendale,
where they are occupying their home
after a very successful season in man
aging a hotel at Atlantic City during
the past summer.
After two years passed in India, on
the other side of this earth, Mr.. and
Mrs. CROW have returned to Glendale.
They went to that far off country to
erect and conduct cannery-a bus
mess in which he is an expert. He
went under contract with 4 New York
machinery company, and returned
last week in excellent health. He has
some curious things to tell about the
country with its tropical jungles, wild
animals and reptiles. Mrs. Crow had
an unpleasant experience from sea
sickness while travelling the twelve
thnnGanh T1nflaC no hit
is rapidly regaining her good health.
They have a host of warm friends
here who are enjoying their memory
of their experiences in India.
After many weeks, eX-POstmaster
Good has been relieved of his respon-
sibilities at Glendale, after eight
years of service to the people. His
term was very satisfactory, and he is
succeeded by Miss Mary Warren, who
has secured as her assistant Mrs.
Harvey Smith. 1t will require about
two weeks for Mr.. Good to arrange
his affairs and he will then leave for
the southern part of Virginia in the
mountains, where his wife is for her
health. He leaves with the highest
respect of the entire community.
1t has been so long since the sound
of the saw and hammer on a new
building has been heard, that the
noise is a pleasure to the ear-espec-
tally in Glendale. Tolbert Macklin is
attempting to make the building habit
popular by erecting a large barn and
a cOmmodious hen house. These shin
ing new roofs look strange among the
old weather beaten associates of the
neighbOrs.
Folks are returning to their homes
in the country and towns of Sussex
county, after trying their fortunes at
Marcus Hook and other places where
big wages sounded good to them.
Among this number are George Reed
and wife, who have been summering
at Marcus Hook; they are occupying
their nice home here, content and
happy.
Miss Sarah Argo who has been
faithful housekeeper in the home of
James Murphy at "Fleatown," is very
i'll with tuberculosis.
We note an instance that will cause
much comment, which happened in
this vicinity. A gentleman from the
north country, whose name the writ
er is unable to spell properly, bought
a few acres of land and small home /
from Wilbert Deputy, near Clendan-
iel's old mill, between Ellendale and
Milford. He planted a measured acre
of this poor land on July 9Th with a
variety of corn which natures in nine
ty days. He treated the land to a
special soiling and coating of phOs- /
pilates, and has just gather ninety
bushels of shelled corn of fine quail
ty from this acre. This is truly a
prolific variety-each stalk bearing
from three to five ears. This was
poor sandy land once. Who can equal
his yield III Delaware?
Albert Coverdale and wife from Will
ningtOn were weekend guests of Mrs.
Ida Jester. They have many warm
friends in Glendale, and Mrs. Cover
lale has a charming smile for those
ihe likes.
A gasoline stove exploded in the
summer kitchen of Mrs. Alfred Glen
laniel on Friday last while she was
dinner. The flames soon
pread to the roof, but aid was at
land so that before any serious dam
ICE was done the flames were ex-
inguished. She had just returned
rom a visit to her daughter in Phila-
Ielphia.
Farmers here are rushing the seed
ng of wheat and threshing cow peas.
Every available man who can or will
IeIp in this work is utilized while
he weather is fine.
The Democrats of Glendale and vi
unity last Monday evening formed an
Enthusiastic Democrat Club, with Es-
uire Ellegood the head and sponsor.
