GLENDALE
Iur --latest Trip Up The State

On November b, TWO days after
the election, we commenced to mo-
tor away from the confines of FL
lendale and to seek more congenial
quarters among our friends in New
Castle county.
Our gloom was somewhat height
ened when we were about ready to
leave, by some one on the winning
side asking the question, where
are you going? l suppose you are
bound up Salt River" The question
remains unanswered, and we were
glad to get away from a town whose
people were so discOurteous as to
ask such questions, and we kindly
asked the lady at the wheel to step
heavy on the gas SO we could get
some distance away before some
other fellow made an inquiry along
the same line.
AS we travelled northward all the
things in connection with the late
election come vividly to our minds.
We thought of the great feast which,
John Hallett and his friends gave to
the white voters of Cedar Greek
Hundred, irrespective of party, and
a great feast it was, where Demo-
Gratis and Republicans met and had
a glorious time. OH how those Re-
publicans did eat, and of course
they being the guests of the Demo-
Gratis, were treated to the best to be
had.
Hon. James NJ. Tunnel was the
principal speaker and casting his
eagle eye on the vast assemblage of
people present said, "HOw pleasant
and good it is for Democrats and
Republicans to dwell together in
unity" and then delivered one of
the best speeches ever heard and |
most suitable for the occasion.
Several candidates on the Demo-
cratic ticket were present and made
speeches, but one refused to speak |
when he was asked; he simply |
shook his head which meant No.
Now of all the candidates on the !
Democratic ticket this candidate
was the only ohe to pull through.
We take off our hats and salute him
as our next sheriff, Lorenzo w. Brit
tingham-this was one time when
silence proved golden" Now there
must have been at least three to
four hundred people present at the
banquet and we thought if the DEM
OcTats can influence their Republi-
can friends to go their way, then ev-
erything will be we'll, and the DEM
ocrats will pull through with flying
colOrs; but something went wrong
by the looks of the returns it SEEM
ed that instead of the Democrats
having the Republicans go their way
the Republicans must have used
some inducement on the Democrats
present which caused them to go
their way.
The question we wish to ask is
this: If feast like the one describ-
ed above could make such, inroads
on the Democratic party, what
would another one do?
We suppose it would put the DEM
Ocratic party out of the running for
some time to come.
We thought as we motored along
Of-these things and also noticed the
public school buildings and Caulk's {
Dental factory at Milford, and
thought what great strides had been
made in the way of improvement in {
the last few years. AS we passed |
over Haven Lake we could but ad- \
mire the settings along the shore of i
that body of water-the trees with t
their cOlored foliage look so pretty {
and displayed a scene of rare and
beauty; and the water
seemed so calm and clear that it
seemed to beckOn to us to plunge in S
and take a swim. S
AS we passed the greenhouses sit \
uated near the lake, we were sur a
prised at the gorgeous flowers which v
were on display, and showed that f
This place was so nicely kept and
up to date in every respect.
AS we had passed into Kent a
county we felt more at home among I
our Democratic friends and asked u
he lady at the wheel to ease up on
he gas and we would move more D
slowly until we reached Smyrna. I
We passed Frederick on the left Il
hat good old inland town that al tt
ways struck the writer to be good
place to live in and get clear of the N
loisy confines which abounds in g
ome other places not far away. F
The farms looked almost deserted
while some wheat had been sOWn D
nd most of the corn husked, but we h.
lid not see much actively on the
Dart of the farmer. Barratt's Chapel W
that wonderful old church-was M
low at hand What an interesting
tory could be told of the doings of O
he men who held sway in olden HI
lines at this place. Coke and AS Ell
Jury, the first two Bishops of Meth
dist Episcopal Church, met here for di
he first time at this old church. al
low they planned for that which H
'as to become one of the most pow M
Tful churches of the world today,
ut we must pass on and we passed of
trough the streets of the village of of
iagnolia. We thought here is an w
ther of those towns which one tn
ould live a quiet life without the
oise and hustle that is prevalent in to
ne world today. The apple or CI
hards looked in fine condition
lille the apples had been gathered; be
ct the orchards had been plowed er
nd put in first class condition. Gt
Apples were never so cheap; as ce
e mOtOred along we noticed five sil
ghths baskets of apples for sale at
le booths for from ten cents to ta
'rty cents and slow sale at that CT
