GLENDALE
BY PAUL PRY


must tell our Chronicle readers all
about our little snow furry, that came
along last Saturday We have not meas
ured its depth, but when we look out.
we see huge drifts, that are as high as
mans head, but this little snow furry
does not disturb our energetic Ellendale
folks-for we must get to Milford for
our weeks supply. On Sunday, John En-
Miss and Bob Warren put two tractors
together, and buried them in the snow
drifts, until all avenues about town We're
clear-so we could have church service
! Sunday evening, and all the children
at school on Monday. Then our next in
terest was to get to the boulevard, and
1 these two little tractors soon had clear
road out to that thoroughfare and on
to Milford by noon. Our mail carrier has
not reached all of his patrons as yet. but
/ in a couple of days the roads will all be
passable Milton was shut off from Ell
] lendale for while, and the Queen Anne
/ trains were very late. On Tuesday our
timber men went to work happy as ever,
and Archie Swain loaded two cars with
piling and is rushing the business for
ward, so don't any one think Glendale
is asleep, or in any trouble, if they do
they will badly deceive.
The chicken thieves are active, and
several hen houses have been robbed
This snow furry can't halt that low in
dustry, but we have heard some shoot
ing in the night, and many dead chick
ems and some human blood has been
dropped, but (for wonder no human
bodies have been seen around. Better
lock out your thieves
Mr.. and Mrs. Oscar Marler have been
called to Marcus Hook, Pa, where their
little daughter, who was living with her
grandmother there. has been stricken
with dyptheria, and is in a critical con-
dition.
While Archie Swain was helping his
men load some piling on a car, crook
ed one sprung up, throwing Mr.. Swain
high into the air. and into snow bank
that saved his life. This was a fortunate
snow for him.
Mr.. and Mrs. Jehu Hudson and son
are visiting their many friends and rela-
tives in town. Mrs. Hudson is an Ellen
dale girl, daughter of the late Senator S.
e. Reed.
Mrs Maggie Fowler is visiting her sis
ter, Mrs. Mary Hammond.
There seems to be trouble brewing in
Ellendale. There are several private cleo
trio plants, and one has been put up that
makes so much noise, that the neighbors
cannot sleep and they complain loudly of
this noise.
We learn with much sorrow of the
death in Wilmington of our old and
highly respected friend, Mr.. Thomas L.
uoff oil
Wilmington. He was buried at Barratt's
Chapel yesterday Thursday.
In spite of the bad weather during the
latter part of the month Ellendale school
again went over the top with banner
attendance of 81 per cent. This is excel
lent when we consider the fact, that at
least one-third of the enrolment is from
the country, some residing more than 4
miles. Miss Richards, our helping teacher,
inauguarted a contest between us and
Dagsboro early in the term, resulting in
Ellendale winning every month so far.
How about it this time, Dagsboro?
An effort is being put forth to organize
a Parent Teacher Association for the pa
irons of Ellendale school District No. 125.
The children, under directions from the
faculty, are preparing an entertainment
for Friday evening. February 10. Every
body interested in education come one
and all and join and have something
worth while to attend once every month. /
Surely Glendale must not lag behind, 1
while every body else is up and doing.
