Glendale

The fourth quarterly conference
for Glendale charge was held at the
M. E. parsonage Thursday, February
4th. Rev. w. E. Gunby, D. D., pre-
sided. ALI of the boards of stewards
and trustees who served last year
were nominated 'and confirmed.
Other officers nominated and confir-
med were as follows: District Stew
ard, D. NJ. Donovan; recording stew
ard, Mrs. Annie r. Clendaniel, COM
munion steward, d. M. Donovan;
delegate to lay association, J. A. Ell
legoOd; delegate to boys conference,
Arthur Williams; alternate, LinWood
Penuel.
The Rev. Conrad Hamer was un-
animously invited to return as pas
tor of Ellendale Circuit for the sec
ond year. Mr.. Hamer who was pres
ent said, he regretted very much of
being unable to comply with their
request as he had concluded to take
three years course at Drews The
illogical Seminary, which he thought
would better qualify him to preach
the gospel of Christ. He spoke in
glowing terms of the splendid treat
ment which both his wife and him
self had received from the people at
all the appointments.
Mr.. and Mrs. Hamer have made a
host of friends during their short
stay here, who regret to see them
go. The young people of the church
and vicinity will miss them. The
writer who has become very much
attached to this young couple and
would like to see them stay, yet he
must acknowledge the wisdom OF the
course which they have taken and
bid them God speed in the new work
which they will assume.
The writer notes with pleasure
that the movement to boost the Del
Mar-Va Peninsula is going forward
with a rush. This is a plan broad
enongh to take within its scope all
who desire to take a part. Hardly
has there ever been a plan so at
tractive put forth. 1t is one of those
things which will bring to all those
who contribute to the good cause or
buy the lands which will be for sale
remuneration far exceeding their
utmost expectations. Let the good
work proceed, until victory crowns
the efforts of those interested and
the good old peninsula becomes the
most fertile spot in the country.
The Boys Brotherhood Glass which
had charge of the missionary SER
vices Sunday morning in the M. E.
Church, rendered a very pleasing
program. The singing by a quartet
composed of Mrs. H. w. Jester, Rev.
Conrad Hamer, H. c. Fike and~Fred
ireland, was fine. The several read
ings by the members of the class
were taken from a book written by
Rev. Vernon McCombs, of California,
entitled cover the Border" and
deals with the condition of Missions
inAIexico. Mr.. McCombs is a nep-
hew of Mrs. Priscilla Warriner and
Mrs. Matilda Warriner of Lincoln
City. The boys all did well. Try it
again in the near future.
Scandal mongers are a despisable
set to say the least. 1 think every
community has this class of people
in more or less degree. If any
town or section is exempt then they
are to be congratulated. No one, no
difference how high or how low seem
to escape the clutches of these con-
temptible beings. They delight in
taking up the most insignificant
things and by deceit and untruths
make them appear as something ter
rible to contemplate. Nothing seems
to please this class better than to be
able to wreck homes, cause heart
aches, and tears to flow. The repu-
tation of no one is safe where these
people dwell. We suppose they will
go on with their infamous work and
their Venemous tongues continue to
wag until the grave closes over
them. We wonder when they are
called forth at the Great Day of
Reckoning, what kind of a reception
will be awaiting them? The writer
won't say.
Drunkedness seems to be more
prevalent in our vicinity of late
than for a long time past. Though
most of those who indulge IRE ha-
bitual drunkards, yet it would indi-
cate that the bootleggers are on the
job, and are more than usually busy
in plying their contemplate trade.
No wonder people are becoming dis
guested with the lax way in which
the prohibition laws are being en-
forced.
Quite a number of our citizens
were at Georgetown on Monday to
witness the trial of Harry Butler,
the negro, who committed crimi-
nal assault on Elnora Steinmetz, 10
years old. Only a few Of the i'm
mense crowd assembled at the coun-
ty seat were admitted into the court |
room. Those who saw the crowd say |
it was the largest ever seen at |
Georgetown. Butler was convicted !
and will be hanged the Goth day Of |
his month, at Georgetown.
H. w. Jester sold this week to |
James Williams, two building lots
IN State street.
Mr.. and Mrs. Enoch f. Donovan
lave purchased of Elias M. Daniels,
lis half interest in the farm situated
IN the State Road, known as the
lanes H. Daniel land. Consideration
private.
Glendale seems to be growing
apidly. 1t would be well if the town
Doard would have finger boards with
he name of the street on them put
Ip at each corner. Only a few days
go a couple Of ladies in hunting
or the residence of a friend got lost
n the streets in broad day light.
Henry Morris of Lincoln has pur-
hased Of Walter G. Fisher, his bar
