GLENDALE
BY PAUL PRY

We are at last, after so many pre-
diction, having a slight taste Of win
ter, with the ground covered with a
blanket of white. The little piggy,
came forth upon his prOverbial ground
hog day, but soon got cold feet, and
soon after the sun came out, the lit
tie rodent scampered to his warm bed
for six weeks more of winter snoozes.
So now boys get out your winter over
coat, and rubber boots, for our grand
fathers taught us that this little
grounding never lies; and we are yet
to have a winter season. See to your
wood pile at once and don't look for
Spring for six weeks.
There are many applicants for the
Job of taking school children to the
different towns arounds, some go to
Milford, and some to Georgetown. So
great is the desire to make some of
this easy money, which the school
board pays, that they have decided to
put on jitney of their own, and thus
will eliminate all hard feeling, and
jealously.
We learn that our stricken friend
and wealthy citizen, Harry Jester, is
to the delight of his many friends,
rapidly improving, and can move
around with the aid of his crutches.
He is now under the care of DR.. Steur
of Milford, who is using his skill as
an osteopathe, which is having magic
effect.
Willard Walls is beginning to move
around, and the effect of blood pOis-
oning is disappearing from his wound
ed limb. Now new trouble has been
added to the stricken family. The
Oldest boy has a severe case of ton
silitis, bordering diphtheria. He is the
main dependant in these hard and ser
ious times. This stricken household
has the warmest sympathy and assis-
tance from the whole community.
James Warren, one of the most
prosperous and energetic of our young
citizens, was suddenly stricken with
acute indigestion last Saturday night. |
All day Sunday every hour was
thought to be the last, and life SEEM
ed very doubtful, but we are glad to |
report at this writing there is much |
improvement, but he is not out OF
danger yet.
We notice great activity once more
around the old Reynolds Mill, now
under the live management of Mr.. 1.
T. Baker, who is hustler, and if this
is not a great success it will surely
not be the fault of Mr.. Baker. He is
constantly adding new features to his
enterprise, such as new chicken feed
that makes the hens lay, and new
stock food that produces the milk.
Large quantities of grain are coming
in from the farmers around, and we
are glad to see the patronage coming
back to the old stand that has been
idle so long.
The people in this community are
becoming very much alarmed about
the frequent hold ups. DR.. Beebe OF
Lewes while approaching the town,
was held up, but put on full speed and
managed to get away. Most of the
people around here are carrying dead
ly weapons, which we all know is
against the law. But what is fell
low to do? He is in constant terror,
and living between the devil and the
deep blue sea, and not knowing which
evil to choose.
Mrs. Will Jefferson who recently
moved here with her husband, is quite
sick at her home. Her son, Otis P.
Jefferson, was at her bedside on Mon
day.
We hear that our old neighbor, Will
Donovan, now in Wilmington, is mar
ried We heartily congratulate our old
friend and wish them both much joy.
Mike Johnson who has been spend
ing the winter in Boston is getting the
material together to start building a
home on his little farm near town.
Mr.. Wallins of New York City is al ]
so getting ready to build a new house
to replace the one recently burned.
George Webb is suffering from a
carbuncle on his hand. j
Mrs. Lillian Jester and Mrs. Fannie
Coverdale of Wilmington are guests
Of Mrs. Lida Jester.
The Ladies Aid Of Ellendale will
give a supper at the White Hall on
evening, February IL. Sup
