.ELLENDALE HAPPENINGS


by a verse Of poetry, often taken
from candy called Secrets" This
was the youths love message TO the
girl he loved.
The young people in those far
away days had but very little mon
ey and could not afford to purchase
valentines of the higher type.
The one cent comic valentine was
also in vogue in those days and
were used to ridicule the teachers
or others, who had managed to Sc
cure the animosity of the people
then living.
VIII Be Missed
The patrons of the post office at
Glendale will miss the face of Miss
Eva B. Prettyman who has held the
office of assistant postmistress for
the past year. By her uniform cour-
tesy TO all she has made host of
friends, who will hate to see her go.
We hope the next assistant will be
as obiliging as the late encumbent.
Chimney Fire
The firemen were called out Mon
day morning to subdue a chimney
fire at the home of George Cover
dale ON Main street. What threaten
ed to be a dangerous fire was soon
brought under control by the quick
work of our up-to-date fire laddles.
Wedding Anniversary
Mr.. and Mrs. James H. Jester cell
ebrated their second wedding ami
versary at their home here on Jan
uary 81. An elaborate dinner was
served to their relatives and
friends.
Mr., Jester has been Justice of the
Peace and notary public here for a
number of years.
Ground Hog
The ground hog came out of his
hole on Thursday of last week, saw
his shadow and then crawled back
in hi shole, and as old timers say
you may look for six weeks of bad
weather. We don't know how true
this saying is, but we do know.
ground hog or no ground hog, the
weather has been something fierce
the past few days. The snow which
fell Saturday and the cold blasts
from the north made it hard for au-
tomobiles and pedestrians TO travel
over the highways.
We hope the old woodohuck will
let up on us and give a nice season
of spring weather long before the
six weeks of bad weather is over.
