= to bring ii back to its former condi
e tion.
5 The hotel since the Grahams LEI
it has had a very varied experience
/ Several men have rented it and af
= ter occupying it for a year or sc
, left in disgust, saying no one coul,
! make it pay.
. 1t remained for Mrs. Anna Wyatt
, of Milford and Mr.. and Mrs. Murra.
Wyatt of Lincoln, to show that thu
old hOstelry could be run at a prof
and at the same time give to tht
patrons of the hotel such accommo
dations as will merit their approba
ton. Their table was noted for its
great variety of the delicacies of the
season and sea food generally serv-
ed in abundance.
The old old hotel has been under
their personal care for the past sew
eral years. 1t is a pity that the cor
poratiOn which now owns the hotel
cannot sell out at an advantage, but
the trouble is they have already in
vested too much money and allowed
the improvements which they had
made to deteriorate in value, by de-
cay. Now no one seems willing to
pay the price which the owners now
ask.
The hotel should be on the beach
front. People who visit sea side re-
Sorts like to be near the water and
unless the hotel is so situated it
will cause people to shun it and go
to other places where the accOmmo-
datiOn is more to their liking.
Slaughter Beach in proper hands
has a future, but can it develop as
it should under the present manage
ment. We should say taking the flu
ture and comparing it with the past,
we should answer in the negative. It
will take some one with sufficient
cash to give to Slaughter Beach
those things which it must have to
go forward and more, that the per-
son who will furnish the money to
make the many improvements need
ed will have to wait sometime for
the return of his money, but it will
surely come, and when it does core,
the profit on the money so invested
will be large.
No bayside resort is so nicely sit |
uated as Slaughter Beach with its |
cement road which makes it easy to |
reach. 1t has one Of the best sandy |
beaches in the State, and the bathing |
facilities are superb. CLAIMS, oysters,
fish and crabs are at your door, |
it one of the best locations |
to spend summer season anywhere
on the bay or ocean, and we neglect
ed to mention that red legs terrapin
the almost match for the diamond
back-are in the ponds on the marsh
and in the canal in abundance.
Glendale Firemen
No town in the State mas a more
energetic up to date force of firemen
han Glendale.
No difference at what hour, night

In fighting forest fires the boys

Several days they were called out 7
S much as three times but they :
yent and remained until the fire \
'as out, and many times they were
to go and fight forest fires :
'ithout anything to eat. r
In the late fire which devastated
luch timber land at Sand Hill, i,
tockley and other places, Glendale a
remen were on the job, fighting 4
le fires while others from nearby f
)wns sat on their trucks and did r
Othing, and yet when credit is to be Il
wen, Glendale is ignored and the l.
says only Milton and 7,
georgetown fire companies were n
resent at the fire. o
Glendale is proud of its fire lad r.
es. They have been tried and found r.

to have a place on their rolls, if tC

Give the boys their due, you don't cl
