GLENDALE
BY PAUL PRY

John Jones, our favorite and genia
neighbOr seemed to have terrible
hard luck with his pea threshing last
week. He was notified on Saturday
that the machine was coming on Mon
day, and he went to Milford and
bought 25 lbs. of beef to feed the
throng of neighbors that volunteered
to help him. On Monday it rained and
the beef spoiled. Tuesday it cleared
and he got rs lbs. more of beef, again
it rained, and the beef spoiled, when
it cleared he got rs lbs. more of fresh
beef, it rained and Mr.. Jones was mad
to his toe nails. However, on Satur-
day the man came and threshed his
peas, but they got no beef, it was all
spoiled, but the enormous yield OF MS
great pea crop fully compensated MN
for his disappointment, and now MT.
Jones is again happy and smiling as
serenely as ever.
Clarence Bennett, the manager and
foreman of Col. Dave Reeds mill, mad
one of his fingers smashed off, while
adjusting a pulley Tuesday afternoon.
Archey Ellingsworth has suffered a

has shining charms for MIN.
Miss Florence Warren, the young
est daughter of R. A. Warren, of this
town, is sick at the home of her sister,
Mrs. Jennie Warren, at Lincoln. She
is an employee of the Chronicle and
has the profound sympathy of her
host of friends here.
It is a most interesting scene now
to go into a store these crispy even
ings, and listen, and look while the
country lawyers teach the green horns
how to fill in their assessment blanks,
and so many different ways they
solve these hard problems. After
