GLENDALE
Main Street, Glendale, Needs
Draining


cement road through Glendale they
agreed to keep Main street over
which the road passes in good con-
dition. They have in a measure kept
the street in fair condition, except
draining the stagnant water which
is allowed to stand until dried up.
This matter should be looked af-
ter by the town board and should
give the State Highway Department
no rest until they fulfill their con-
tract.
Stagnant water standing in the
streets for weeks at a time, is very
detrimental to the health of the
people and from such a situation
often carries typhoid fever and other
kindred diseases. We feel sure if the
matter is placed before the State
Highway Department in its proper
light, they will do their full duty in
the matter.
Discarded Toys
The firemen of Wilmington are now
seeking discarded toys that they
may repair them and give to the
needy children who otherwise would
not be able to buy them, when
Christmas day rolls around.
Would it not be well for the fire
men of Glendale and other points in
the State outside of Wilmington to
initiate in a measure what the fire.
men of Wilmington are doing?
There are thousands of homes in
this State which have discarded toys
who would gladly donate them for
the simple asking.
Now, firemen, you have it in your
power, by seeking these discarded
toys, paint and repair them, to make
many young hearts respond with
gladness, when presented with some
of these toys, though in a rehabitat-
ed form.

Shipping Mine Props and Piling
Our two lumbermen, r. J. Glen
daniel and H. w. Jester have been
very busy for sometime past in
shipping mine props to the coal
mines of Pennsylvania and piling to
points further north.
We are glad to see so much activ-
ity in the lumber business as, it goes
to show that business is on the in
crease and also gives employment to
a great number of men.
Turkeys Plentiful
Reports coming from our poultry
dealers say there are plenty of tur-
keys left for Christmas. Thanksgiv-
ing Day took only small portions,
leaving the bulk for the Yuletide
season. Prices this year are very
low, which will enable many people
to grace their table with fat COB
bier or hen.
Hogs Being ButcheTed
The cold weather which we have
been having of late has caused the
people of Glendale and vicinity to
kill their hogs.
The porkers this winter are not as
heavy as in some years. People are
finding out that hogs of smaller size |
is more suitable for home use.
George Coverdale, iona Filings
worth and Walter Sheppard killed |
hogs the past week which weighed
over 400 Tbs. each.
Chimney Fires
Our firemen were quite busy on
Monday subduing chimney fires
which occurred at the homes of Fred |
Deputy, near Owens and John Pase,
Ellendale. The heavy northwest
wind which prevailed made it very
dangerous to property near by on
account of flying sparks. At the Dep
uty home the chimney was so hot
as to crack the fiue. No other dam
age at either place.

chased of Charles Walius, the prop
