GLENDALE
By PAUL PRY

| On Friday last when the news OF
the sad and serious tragedy came to
town the whole community shuddered
from the shock of such a frightful ac-
cident at the home of Mr.. and Mrs.
Enoch' Donovan, where the face of
their 12-year-old daughter, Rhoda,
was completely shot away. 1t seems
that the crows were bOthering the
strawberry patch, and the elder
brother had brought out his gun and
stood it in the yard against tree,
and while Rhoda was passing this
spot the gun exploded, the whole load
taking effect in her face, killing her
instantly. While the brother was in
no way responsible for this shocking
accident, he is PROSTATE with grief,
as he feels he was the cause of the
accident The little lady was the
/ favorite of the family and leaves
many sad friends to mourn her loss.
Her remains were laid beside her
mother in the New Market Church
yard, after an eloquent and impress
sive funeral service by Brother Bar
rett.
Francis, the four and half year
old son of Edward Williams who has
suffered so long from scarlet fever,
died Monday evening and will be bur-
ried at the Red Mems Cemetery. This
is the only life this epidemic has cost
Glendale.
Decoration Day passed without
great deal of stir in Glendale. Many /
graves of old soldiers and dear lost |
friends were decorated in the ceme-
teries near town. In the afternoon
an exciting baseball game between
Milford and our boys was played, our |
boys winning out to 4. On Satur-
day our boys played the Georgetown
boys and beat them 19 to- 4. The
Georgetown boys can't play a little
bit.
The big event that was to take
place last week for the benefit of the
fremen has been postponed until
Thursday and Friday of next week,
and will be the climax event in the
history of Ellendale. The big cannery
of Maher Bros. will be thrown open
to the crowd where a large festival
will be held. All the firemen from
the nearby towns will join the parade
and the Georgetown and Milton bands {
will furnish the music for the occa- 6

pected. We will endeavor to build a
lighting organization, second to no !
other country company, so all are re-
luested to come out and help us I
along.
