splendid country. To make the en-
terprise successful will require the
united efforts of all progressive citi-
zens, both in a personal and finan-
cial way. This is not a wild cat
scheme to boost land values beyond
| their worth, but is a movement to
induce more people to settle among
us and to divide our lands into small
ler holdings. Improvements of many
kinds will follow and those who buy
our lands and improve them would
find out that they had received
more than a dollars worth for each
dollar invested. Too much cannot be
said about the beauty and quality
and productiveness of the lands
composing the lower part OF the
peninsula.
Those boys who are permitted to
roam the streets of Glendale at all
hours of the night better be careful
or else they will do something
which will bring sorrow to those
who love them. The attaching of
devices called tic taos to the resi-
dences of our citizens and not re-
moving the strings from across the
side walks may cause some one to
get a serious fall. This was verified
the other night when a prominent
lady became entangled in one of the
strings across the cement pave
, ment, only the weakness of the OBJ
struction which broke, prevented
her from getting a terrible fall. Bet
ter be careful, boys, or the police
will get you.
Several of our citizens have put
down cement curbing and filled in
with dirt between curbing and side
walk. They have also sown grass
seeds which were looking fine until
some miscreants have in the last
few weeks tried to destroy the grass
plots by running over them and
kicking the sod loose from the earth.
This is wrong and any one caught in
the act should be prosecuted to the
full extent of the law.
Mr.. and Mrs. D. NJ. Donovan, ac-
cOmpanied by Miss Mia Macklin mo-
tored to Townsend on Tuesday and
attended the funeral of Mr.. DOnO-
vans uncle, William Donovan, who
was ninety-three years old.
Charles Kohlenburg, the twelve
year old grandson of Mr.. and Mrs.
Alfred Clendaniel, was taken i'll last
week with what at first was sup
posed to be tonsilitis, but afterwards
pronounced by Doctors Marshall and
Lohand of Milford to be diphtheria.
Anti-toxin was administered and the
boy is improving rapidly. The public
schools were fumigated and closed
for a few days, but resumed their
sessions Wednesday of this week.
No further danger from the disease
is apprehended.
Archie Ellingsworth had his ton
sils removed at the Marshall Hospi-
tai, Milford, Thursday of last week.
DR.. S. NJ. D. Marshall performed the
operation. Mr. EllingsWorth is i'm
proving slowly
Theodore Adkins and Elmer Gov
erdale who have occupied the Fisher
property on Main street, moved last
week to the farm which Mr.. Adkins
purchased of George Fisher of Mar
Gus Hook. Samuel Warren who Oc-
cupies the Fisher farm, moved to the
Dickerson farm near New Market.
Eulen Dickerson who occupied the
Dickerson farm is now occupying
the Fisher house on Main street.
Will the slogans for 1928 be Cool
idge and Smith These two persons
would certainly make strange bed
fellows from a political standpoint.
They say wonders never cease. The
Hon. Chauncey NJ. Depew in an ad-
dress delivered a few days ago said
that such a combination might be
brought about. What next?
The Boys Brotherhood Class of the
NJ. e. Sunday school will have
charge of the Missionary services on
Sunday morning, February 7th. The
young men are preparing quite an
elaborate program. Those who fail
to hear them will miss a treat. All
welcome.
When will people learn to look be-
fore crossing a railroad? What
threatened to be a serious accident
was averted Saturday morning by
the presence of mind of the engi-
neer of the II a m. passenger train
going south, who by applying the
brakes lessened the movement of his
train so as to allow a man and his
team to escape from being killed at
the lower crossing in this town. 1t
was a close shave. 1t should be
warning to all to stop, look and lis
ten, before crossing any railroad.
The statement made in last weeks
Chronicle" by your correspondent
at Miami, Florida, that the roads Of
South Carolina were the worst ex-
perienced in their motor trip thru
the several southern states. We are
not surprised at the conditions eX-
isting there. What better can you
expect from the people in that Sec
ton, when they send such men as
Cole Blease to represent them in the
Senate of the United States.
Rev. and Mrs. Conrad Hamer were
invited by a gentleman and his wife
to dine at his home few days ago.
While there Mr.. Hamer was called
upon to baptize the family of the
host and hostess, consisting of fa-
ther, mother and seven children.
The cold spell of last week caught
some of our citizens mapping. Some
wood piles were very slim. Wood is
plentiful and nearby, so no one suf-
fered. The thermometer was down
to two degrees above zero here on
Friday morning.

displayed at his shambles this week
