institution of any kind. Can we eS
pect factories to locate their plant
here unless they can conduct thei
business in an up to date manner
No one wishes to go eight miles :
find banking privileges when the
can establish themselves in town
which already have these things
Look at Millsboro, DagsborO an
Frankford, three small towns witt
banks in each place doing a flour
ishing business. Does anyone doub
that with the proper men at the hea'
of it a bank would not pay in Ellen
dale? Our farmers are progressive
and we know would, as for as the!
were able, gladly help to establish ;
financial institution of some kinC
here. So get busy, don't sit in thu
stores wearing out the seat Of you
pants telling your neighbors this ol
that won't pay. You don't know any
thing about it. Don't be a pessimist
We have too many of that kind in
Glendale now. Be an Optimist and
get out and work for the good of the
town and community. If you will do
this prosperity will come our way.
We will put Glendale on the map to
stay put.
Would it mot be a good idea for
the citizens of Glendale to assemble
themselves together in a meeting
and discuss the best and cheapest
way to secure concrete payements
for the side walks of the town. 1t
would be well to have the president
of the Board of Commissioners pres
ent who could explain the kind of
walks which the town would require
to be made. Would 1t not be oest to
contract with some good party to do
the work at so much per square
foot? Then the pavements would be
uniform in both width and depth
and made from the same material
look fine and be credit to the town
in which we live. In as much as the
state and county have presented US
with a splendid stone road sixteen
feet wide running through our town
we would be very remiss in our du-
ties if we failed to build our pave
ments to correspond in beauty with
the fine highway so generously pro-
vided for us.
We think the people in general
will commend that part Of Governor
Denney's message which recon-
mends the gradual placing Of the
dirt roads of the state under the su-
pervision of the State Highway Com
mission. We are almost persuaded
that it would have been well if the
Governor had left the word grad
,n ,fe
feel sure the dirt roads could not be
worse under the immediate control
of the Highway Commission than
they are at the present time under
the Levy Court system now prevail
ing. We have faith enough to believe
the Chief Engineer Buck could get
together a corps of trained road men
who would be able to take the dirt
roads in hand in the early spring
and in shorter time and at less eX-
pense give us better roads than we
have ever had before. One thing we
do know, they would drain the roads
as no dirt road can be kept up un-
less fully drained; a condition the
present supervisors don't know, or
else they don't care to learn. We
hope the legislature, now in session,
at Dover will pass the necessary :
laws to carry into effect the Cover
nor's recommendations in regard to |
the dirt roads Of the state.
The NJ. E. Sunday school has been
reorganized with the following otti- /
GERS: Superintendent, D. M. Dono- /
van; assistant superintendent, J. A. |
Ellegood; secretary, Miss May Thay-
ef; treasurer, Samuel H. Fisher; Or
ganist, Miss Mildred Ellingsworth; |
chorister. E. F. Whitney; librarians,
John Alfred Prettyman, Harry w.
Jester, Jr., and Arthur Williams;
missionary superintendent, E. F. /
Whitney. This school under the SUI
pervision of Mr.. Donovan is doing
fine work.
A very pathetic scene was wit
messed by some of our citizens last
Sunday afternoon when a young fell /
low scarcely more than a lad, passed
through our town in a drunken con-
ditiOn. He was waving his hat and
singing at the top of his voice; one /
of those obscene songs, so disgust I
ing to hear. In this condition he was
his mothers and fathers hearts one |
more ache. In the name of all that is |
good, is there not some way to stop
the manufacture of the vile stuff
which is so degrading to the human
race.
At a council held in the wigwam
Of Ioka Tribe, No. 35, I. o. r. NJ, on
Monday evening the following COM
mittees were elected: Cemetery, J.
H. Jester, D. M. Donovan and James
H. Warren; hall, G. 3. Clendanial,
S. H. Fisher and J. A. Eilegood.
Several of our citizens attended
the inaugural ceremonies held at
Dover Tuesday when Governor Rob-
insOn was inducted into Office. They
report that it was a very elaborate
affair. Owing to the storm the at
tendance was not so great as it
w6uld have been otherwise.
Z Raymond A. Tucker who killed the
large hog which weighed 908 lbs. is
one of our most prosperous farmers
and resides near here.
The cross word puzzle craze has
struck Glendale with full force.
Men, women and children can be
seen busily engaged in trying to
solve the different problems present.
