GLENDALE
Our Latest Trip Up The State


did chance to inspect the many i'm
provements since our last trip madc
a few months ago.
Miss Thayer being at the wheel
made the journey very pleasant anC
under her guidance, we felt safe al
all times.
The first thing after leaving FL
lendale to attract our notice was
the new school building at Milford
This shows the rapid advance that
has been made in the cause of edu-
cation in the last few years and as
we passed over the dam of Haven
Lake we were astOnished at the
beautiful scenery surrounding this
stream of water We noticed that
many boats were anchored and sew
eral more whose occupants were
engaged in fishing for bass. Those
whose residences borders on this
beautiful lake with its gorgeous
scenery must be envied by those
whose homes have not these pleas
ant settings.
At McNicOPs greenhouses there
was a constant show of bulbs and
flowers which shed a lustre of mag
nificent splendor, which could not
but help in attracting the attention
of the passer-by.
The farms which We passed show
ed thrift while some of the crops
were not up to standard--yet, taking
as a whole, the yield would be sat
isfactOry.
So we passed ON toward that old
but up-to-date town of Frederica-
but as we passed to the right but
little of the town itself could be
seen, but that which we saw show
ed thrift on every side.
Before reaching Frederick, we no
ticed filling station which had a
structure initiating the old Cape
Henlopen Light House which used
to stand in the sand dunes near
Lewes. 1t brought to the mind of
the writer scenes of long ago, when
he, as a small boy, spent some
pleasant moments where the Orisi-
nal used to stand, before it tumbled
into the sea.
Barratt's Chapel next came in
view. That old brick structure built
in the year of 1880, has a wonderful
history connected with it. It was
here that Bishops Coke and Asbury
met and laid plans for the great
Methodist Episcopal Church now CX-
isting, and whose churches are IN
every part of this country and many
are situated beyond the sea. 1t was
here that Bishop Coke in the month
of November, 1884, first administer ed
the holy sacrament regularly to a
congregation, consisting of between
five and six hundred people. The
large cemetery connected with the
church is kept in fine condition.
The town of Magnolia which is
not far away was reached, and here
is situated the handsome residence |
of John Lindal, whose farming inter-
ests are greater than any other man
in the State.
Dover, that beautiful city, whose
confines are dotted with the State
House, Kent County Court House |
and other fine buildings bordering
on the Green. The Wesleyan Colleg- |
late Institute, which under the SUI
pervision of Prof. Short is doing
great work in preparing their stu
dents for admission to the different
colleges of the country.
AS we passed through the Main
street of this city, we were attracted
by the great number of handsome
residences and their beautiful yards
filled with grass and flowers.
Crystal Lake, a beautiful and mag
nificent stream of water, next came
into view and we understand it is
stocked with fish of different kinds,
and makes a splendid place for a
days outing.
Before reaching Dover and after
we had passed through the city we
could not help but remark at the
neatness in which the apple and
peach orchards are kept. The culti-
Vation of them are up to date, and
in consequence thereof, the owners
will have quite a crop of peaches
and apples, while the farmers in
Sussex county will scarcely have
any.
We continued on, leaving Smyrna
to the left, and passing through It.;
we arrived at the edge of
Odessa, and passed through on to
st. Georges with it's magnificent :
bridge, and then on to the hand !
some home of those who were to re- !
come our host and hostess during !
our stay from home. The welcome
we received from our friends was {
genuine as their hearty handshakes |
indicated their pleasure in welcom- {
ng us to their home. Dinner was /
ready and waiting for our arrival 8
and after taking off some of the $
stains of travel, we were ushered in
10 the dining room where a table S
vas loaded with all the delacies of S
he season, and where we did justice a
o the food which was set before us.
More next week. \
