GLENDALE
BY PAUL PRY

The most successful and prominent
affair in the history of Ellendale has
been made historic occasion. The
i firemen's carnival was a great sue
cess from every standpoint. The great
crowds that gathered at the pavil-
lion gave evidence of the patriotic
spirit, and civic pride in our town af-
fairs. On Thursday evening the Mil
ford boys with their engine scream
ing their fire alarm on our streets
shook up the town, and aroused the
spirit of all, and the kind and bro
therly spirit manifested towards us
has endeared every loyal Glendale pa
triOt to the Milford boys, and when
ever they need us for any purpose,
you can tell them we will be right on
the job. Milton was expected, and
promised to honor us, but they never
showed up. We learn the MiltOnians
want us in their Fourth of July pa
rade. Will we be there? Just wait,
and see. Georgetown came with her
whole outfit on Saturday and we gath
cred in to promote the interest of the
Ellendale Fire Co., over $500, and we
had the honor to entertain many dis
tinguished guests, including Joseph
Holland and wife from Milford and
DR.. and Mrs. POynter from George
town.
The entertainment by the sO-called
Swamp Club was an utter failure.
The school meeting on Saturday was
a most conspicuous event, and it took
all the available legal talent in town
with their law books to straighten
out the new school tangle. The argu-
ment, and discussion was very spir-
tied at times and many ballots, were
taken. The popularity of Harry Jes-
ter in his sick condition was most pro-
found for on every ballOting contest
he was just one vote behind. The out
come was for the three year term: 1.
T. Baker; 2-year term, George Reed;
1-year term John B. Ennis. 1t took
many ballots to decide this contest.
On last Friday Mrs. Harry Jester
suffered a severe attack of acute in
digestion and fully collapsed. DR.. |
Paynter was called during the night, |
her condition meing quite serious. We |
are glad to report her condition much |
at this writing.
Little Harry Jester, Jr., is just re-
covering from a sever sickness. 1t
seems that this family get their share
Of sickness.
Charley Warren, one of our best
and most prosperous farmers, is con-
fined with indigestion.
We are requested to announce that
The Ladies Aid Of Ellendale will meet
June Both at the home of Mrs. Or
,his Swain. ALI members are request
ed to be present.
AS usual the Children's Day eXer-
,ises at Glendale Church was a big
lffair in many ways. The crowd was
immense and the exercises by the
rained children were simply great,
md the long program was success
without a hitch. The collection was
'ver $16O.
The colored people are not to be
Dutdone. They had an outdoor rally
md feast last Sunday, that brought
,reat crowds.

ey is visiting her mother, Mrs. Wes-
