Glendale

on Thursday evening last, VINO gave
A covered dish luncheon which was
served in buffet style.
Mr.. and Mrs. Jester had kindly
decorated their home for the occa-
sion by the use of cOlOred streamers
and eVergreens of different kinds,
making a scene very pretty to look
upon. !
When the many dishes brought by |
the ladies were uncovered they dis |
played an array of food in quality |
and quantity sufficient to tempt the |
appetite of the most fastidions.
The table was trimmed with holly |
and glistened with cut glass and Sill
yer.
Those present who enjoyed this
luscious feast were Mr.. and Mrs. II.
w. Jester, Rev. and Mrs. Conrad Ha-
mer and daughter. Norma Idella,
Miss Olive LankfOrd, Mrs. J. A. Ell
legoOd, Mrs. John G. Short, Mrs. X.
A Wood, Mrs. Walter Sheppard,
Mrs. Norman Prettyman, Mrs. isaac
F. Warren, Mrs. Arthur Russell,
Mrs. Otis Jester of Wilmington, Miss
May Thayer, Miss Allie Macklin,
Fred ireland, Lawrence Warren,
Harry Jester, Jr., and Otis Jester.
Those of the members who were abb
sent missed a rare treat.
Occasions Of this kind have ten
dency to create greater degree OF
efficiency in church work and binds
the members closer together in the
bonds of Christian fellowship. We
hope many more of these occasions
will follow.
A business transaction of unusual
importance was consumated in FL
lendale one day last week. 1t seems
that a lady on the west side had
more pianos than she had any use
for and concluded she would seek an
outlet for the surplus stock. 1t also
seems that a gentleman on the east
side had more dogs than he cared to
keep and was anxious to dispose OF
some of them. A bargain was struck
between the two mostly interested.
The lady agreed to take the dog and
the gentleman the piano on even
terms. Both seem highly pleased
with the exchange made. The ques-
ton to be decided is which will
prove the most musical to the neigh
bors of the parties interested N the
trade, the playing of the piano by in
experienced hands or the dog tied to
a post bowling for his former master.
1t is very gratifying to your cor
respondent to be able to report that
Ellendale has at last gone forward
and assumed a position with other
towns who are progressive and do
things.
This week will witness the open
ing of a button factory which will
employ a number of our young men
who have been compelled to seek
employment elsewhere.
This industry has been brOnught
to this place by the liberal spirit
shown by a number of our progress
sive citizens and will go far in keep
ing EllendaIe on the map. The next
thing badly needed is a garment or
shirt factory which would give work
for the ladies of our town and vi
cinity.
Get busy, gentlemen, pull together
and the new factory will soon be an
accomplished fact.
The holly season is at its height
at the present time. Carloads of hol-
Iy branches are being shipped to
many of the western cities, includ-
ing points in Canada. Holly berries
being plentiful this year, old and
Young are busy making the beautiful
wreaths which will later adorn the
homes of those who purchase them
The dealers are gathering large
quantities of this stock from the
makers, which is being sent to GUS
toners as far west as Montana. The
money which the buyers pay to the
makers will go far in making many
happy homes during the yuletide
season, which otherwise would be
dark and gloomy.
H. w. Jester is having painted his
many houses in both the town and
county. This is a step in the right
direction and makes a great i'm
provement in the sections where the
properties are situated. George Gov
erdale is doing the work. Who will
be the next to follow the course TAX
en- by Mr.. Jester.
Curtis Ennis and his assistant
Lester Shockley, have been quite
busy for the last two weeks wiring
dwellings for electric lights. Those
where lights have been established
in their homes are Mrs. Annie E
Reed, J. A. Ellegood, D. M. DOno-
van and Harold Beebe. Many more
are waiting for Mr.. Ennis to do their
work. Both the town and Ennis
plants are giving universal satisfac-
ton.
Buckwheat and sausage for break
fast these cold winter mornings.
Don't that sound good?
Charles Lof1and who has occupied
one of the Ellegood farms for the
past ten years, has purchased for
himself a home two miles south OF
Glendale on the old State road and
will move their January 1st next.
Are the people of Glendale and
Milton asleep? Have they forgotten
that a much desired stone road is
badly needed to connect the two
places above mentioned? Wake up,
gentlemen. While you slumber other
parts of Sussex county are receiving
all the favors which the Highway
Commission have to bestow.
We are now having a season of
real winter. Snow and sleet prevails
both in town and county. Travel is
made difficult by the slippery condi-
ton of the streets and roads. Some
of our citizens are being accused of
trying to dance the Charleston on
the ice coated pavements.
Edward Dickerson has opened his
meat shop for the winter months. He
will be glad to welcome his old Gus
toners at anytime.
Bad colds seem to prevail to a
large extent among our people, both
old and young. The cough which
generally accompanies the cold
