GLENDALE

I AS the weather is so changeablC
there seems to be a contagion of cold.
IN our vicinity. Many of the people
are resorting to homeopathic remedies

colds, because since the doctors have

The revival services have been in
vogue now for over a week. Brother
I. 5. Barratt, who has been preaching
sermons nightly. was afforded a splen-
did privilege last Friday evening when
Rev. BucksOn of Whitesville, Md
preached an unique discourse on
How Shall We Escape, if We Neglect
So Great a Salvation?". Although the
audience was somewhat small, those
IN attendance surely did imbibe the
spirit manifested by the preacher. As
far as we can state az present these
meetings will continue at least the
rest of this week and we do so sin
cerely hope that the towns people and
people in the adjacent vicinities will
/ be more attentive during the rest Of
these meetings.

Last Sunday evening a strange thing
occurred in Glendale. Many of the
people had gone to the church and sta
tion, so there were only few people
left in their homes. As there seems
to be something that works upon the
minds OF all people during those soli-
tary moments of life there occurred
TO Aunt Lide Jester an idea that it
would be wise for her to pay a visit
to her neighbOr. So Aunt Lide said.
George, let's go for a visit" OF course
George said, I'm ready" In a few
minutes Aunt Lide and George were
seen on the street en- route for their
neighbor's house. Now to casual OBJ
servers this may not seem at all in
teresting, but to us, who talk to Aunte
Lide daily, we appreciate the concep-
tion of this idea and especially the
carrying out of what she had con-
ceived.
Most of the young boys and girls of
our town feel that they wish there
could be many more places of amuse-
ment than there are, but when we give
this thought serious consideration we
must remember that for school pupils

Mr.. Meisner, the timber inspector,

January Sth from 7.30 to $50 at the
school building. The next meeting for
which an interesting program is being
planned will be held February 18th,
at the same hours.
Our town is still surely in need of a
barber and a doctor. Perhaps. when
we get more OF the modern improve
