Milford chronicle., 1921-12-23
GLENDALE
BY PAUL PRY

Again we are about to close an
other year of life's journey, and as
we near another mile stone, we look
back on the closing period and Won
der if it has been a year of usefulness
and benefit to others, and if the many
readers of the Chronicle have been
satisfied, with our feeble effort or de-
rived any comfort or pleasure from
our columns. This will perhaps never
be realized as no one gives express
ion of their opinion until we are oblig-
ed to lay aside our pen, and pass on
to the forgotten.
AS the joyful event of Xmas, we
can only express our wishes, that all
the readers of our letter may enjoy
all the pleasure and blessings that the
season may bring to them, and way
down in the bottoms of our heart we
wish all much joy and happiness; as
we ourselves anticipate, as the yule-
tide at Ellendale bids fair to be un-
usually gay.
The event that will make the great
est joy is the Sabbath school treat at
our church on Friday evening next,
and at New Market on Saturday ev-
ening. The pleasure of seeing the hap
py smiles on the countenances of
these little ones is something so in
spring, far beyond an expression of
the joy it must bring to the generous
givers.
On Sunday last the feasting began,
when Mrs. James Jester gave her
grand Christmas dinner in honor Of !
Robert Irving Jester of New Britton, |
Conn. He could not remain over the |
holidays, and large circle of friends |
gathered to enjoy the luxurious and
bountiful table of a big Christmas
dinner.
Mrs. Della Coverdale also had a
grand "set out" and the guests thor
oughly enjoyed a wonderful big din
ner.
We did not finish the big hogs of
for on Monday, Will Fish
er butchered two that weighed over
LOO pounds. The heaviest one pulled
he beam to 587 lbs. Cove Smith pigs
over 500 lbs. each. George
Pettyjohn has still a better one to
kill during Xmas, that all good jud-
gers are betting will weigh over 900
pounds.
We are sorry to announce that Mr..
Iahan, our fire chief is seriously ill
It his home with rheumatism, and we
lope he will not be forgotten by our
rood people while enjoying health
nd happiness.
Mr.. Hudson, the live wire, who is
mail and passenger route
o Milton, found his Ford truck, un
BILE to meet his increased demand
nd has now provided himself with a
arge Dodge bus, and has put the
reedy jitney drivers out of business.
hey can no longer impose on the
raveling public, by forcing them to
ay extravagant prices.
The holly wreath season for 1921,
as gone down in history as the larg
st on record, and the prices have
cen splendid, until the last two days
hen the bottom dropped out. We are
formed though that our buyers have
Ot met with any serious losses.
Some of our farmers find the win
r closing in on them with big
elds of corn standing and
e hear of two or three husking mat
les during the Xmas week. Some of
If champion huskers are getting
lady for big race, and a big feed
e will be on hand to report the re-
lit, and give the best man his just
les.
George Pettyjohn has bought two
res of land from Joe Short and will
lid a dwelling house thereon.
