GLENDALE
sy PAuL PRY

Again we are called upon to eX-
press the deepest sympathy for the
stricken ones in our community. As
usual trouble never comes single
handed, and this time a heavy hand
has been laid upon the flower of our
flock. Last Friday DIR. Shankle, a vet
eran of the Civil War, was stricken
with paralysis, and is a mental and
physical wreck, and is rapidly fail
ing. On Saturday afternoon last Mr..
Fred Deputy, prominent and pros
porous young farmer and one of our
very best citizens, was stricken while
working in the field, and his cries for
help alarmed his wife, and help was
procured At this writing Mr.. Deputy
is much improved, but deprived of the
use of his right hand. Mr.. Joseph
Johnson of near New Market was
again stricken last week, and is in a
very bad condition mentally.
Mrs. William Jester has undergone
an operation at the Milford Emer-
gency Hospital, and is getting along
nicely at this writing.
Last Saturday as w. S. Dickerson
and wife were riding to Milford IN
an open buggy, on the state road they
were run down by big car driven by
two unidentified cOlOred men who
were going at a reckless rate, and
never stopped. The horse was fright
ened, and one wheel smashed. Mrs.
Dickerson was thrown out, and run
over, and badly hurt. Mr.. Dickerson
was thrown out but held the reins
until the frightened animal was con-
trolled Mrs. Willard Jones took care
of Mrs. Dickerson and administered
home remedies to the cuts and bruises
while Mr.. Jones provided more
wheels for the broken buggy. We wish
to express the most profound graft
tude to MIR. and Mrs. Willard Jones in
their human goodness and noble gen
erosity in the dangerous and trying
ordeal.
We acknowledge the receipt of
letter from our old friend, c. T. Mill
man, who recently moved to Whining
ton. He gives us a glowing account OF
his success in business and speaks
in praising terms of the Chronicle
and begs us to write longer letters, as
he could not possibly do without the
Chronicle. /

Mother Forgot

Johnny Jones came into school two
hours late. The first lesson was over,
and the second one nearly so.
Yet he did not seem to hurry, but
walked very slowly from the door to
his seat in the class.
How is it that you are so late?"
asked the teacher.
Johnny looked at him sheepishly.
"If you please, sir" he said, with
the slightest suspicion of a break in
his voice, Il have got new boots on,
and muvver forgot to cut the string!"
