Milford chronicle., 1921-12-30
GLENDALE
BY PAUL PRY

With this letter our work for 1921
will be only history, and the things
for this year will soon be forgotten.
Our anxiety is, will the New Year find
us better equipped for another year S
labor? How many of us will make
New Years resolutions, and conclude
to turn over a new leaf? The events
of this week are such to inspire us
with new ambition for such kind
words of encouragement, and the as
surance that we have been appreciat-
ed from persons of such distinguished
men as the Honorable John P. HOl-
land, the noted Lawyer Gray, and Mr..
Salisbury, of Wilmington, Judge But
Ter and Colonel Good and Mrs. Feas
of Philadelphia is most gratifying,
and we wish to express through these
columns our gratitude and thanks for
the many tokens of respect, and will
endeavor to comply with their wishes
by writing longer letters.
For Ellendale at least, this has been
| the most notable Xmas in its his
tory and Notwithstanding the cry
of hard times, Glendale has blazed
out with more splendid big feats, and
| larger gatherings than ever before.
On Sunday the home of Mrs. B. F.
Williams was the scene of feasting
and gayety, and 80 of her family and
friends devoured a 23-pound turkey,
and all the good things that go with
| it. On Monday Mr.. and Mrs. Charlie
Belts following up the feasting at
their home. At the home of Mr.. and
Mrs. w. S. Dickerson his children
gathered around the table and the
household was made gay by a general
reunion.
At the home of Mr.. and Mrs. Robert
Warren the home coming of his niece
the happy bride and groom, Mr..
and Mrs. Giese, of Wilmington
brought a great crowd of serenaders
with every conceivable thing that
would make a hidious noise. The
house was thrown open, and the
throng filed up to table loaded with
refreshments of everything and the
most humble as well as the rich |
helped themselves.
On Saturday evening Mr.. Enoch |
Donovan, a prosperous farmer, and |
Miss Nellie Daniels were bound in
marriage at the parsonage by Rev.
Barrett.
On Sunday evening Mr.. Dias Spic-
er and Miss Katharine Webb, were
married by Rev. Barrett. They are
young farmers and will start life in
double harness, with prospects for
bright future.
It is rumored that three other cou-
pies were married, but we hesitate to
make the Announcement, owing to the
indefinite information. The serenad-
ers do not hesitate, but go on night
after night, and the great treat is in
abundance on every occasion.
The most expensive gift we have
yet learned of is the gift of new
Ford coupe by Harry Jester to his
daughter, Miss Losetta, who is just
blooming into wOmanhood.
Miss Fannie Coverdale of Whining
ton, is visiting her sister, Mrs. ]. H.
Jester and family.
Lawrence Donovan and Miss Laura
were also married on Sunday
evening and will move to their new
farm, which Mr.. Donovan recently
bought of Norman Prettyman.
Our firemen have at last procured
an immense bell, to alarm the neigh
borhood in case of fire, and it is now
being erected 40 #. high, but where to
erect it so it will be most effective is
agitating the minds of the f1remen.
The eloquence with which the young
men display their argument is evident
that we have young orators coming
on to replace the old worn out men.
The poultry plant at the Jones
poultry farm on the boulevard was
raided last week and over 100 prize
leghorn pullets were stolen.
Horace Harmon met with an auto
mobile accident last week while re-
turning from Milford. His new Over
land car crashed into a Ford and both
cars were pretty well smashed.
