GLENDALE HAPPENINGS
Our New Postmaster

Our New Postmaster
The daily paper announces the
fact that Congressman Adams has
recommended John B. DerricksOn to
be postmaster at this point.
We congratulate Mr.. DerricksOn
ON his appointment and We feel sure
he will prove himself to be an Oblig-
ing officer
Glendale has been fortunate in
pOstmasters in the past. There has
been no complaints, which speaks
we'll. The present administration OF
the office has been efficient in every
way, and the new appOintee will
have to get up and 80 some to make
his administration of the office
more popular than il is at the pres
ent time.
Surplus OF Dogs And Cats
Ellendale has now more than its
share of dogs and cats. Other towns
and some parts of the county look
upOn Ellendale as the dumping
ground for their surplus dogs and
cats. Every sheep killing or poultry
killing dog and every chicken eating
cat is dropped at night by people
passing Glendale. We are Overrun
with both dogs and cats.
Il is cruel to treat dumb animals
in this way and those guilty should
he punished.
Trees In Bloom
Il is a beautiful sight i'm passing
over the highways. to see so many
pear and cherry trees in full bloom.
The peach trees seem devoid of
blooms; the hard winter which they
have passed through killed the buds
and injured many trees. Peaches in
Sussex county will be scarce this
year. Housewives will miss them
badly as they are held in high es-
teen by the ladies', especially for
canning purposes.
Apple trees are not yet ready to
bloom. but if the weather keeps
warm. they will burst forth at an
early date with an array of flowers
hard to match.
II now looks, il killing frOsts will
keep away. there will be an abund-
ance of pears. cherries and apples.
Play To BE Given
The Good Will class of Lincoln NJ.
f. Church. Mrs. May Wyatt, teacher.
will render play at the school aud
itOrium. Ellendale. on Tuesday
night. May |. Those who have seen
this play say it is fine; It is spOn-
sOred by Hiawatha Council. No. !,
degree of POCOhontas of Ellendalc.
Come out and help the ladies.
Improved Road Badly Needed
An improved road from Ellendale
to No. 6 school house. has been bad
" needed for sometime. This road
has been surveyed and staked out,
and should have been built months
ago. The farmers living along the
route of the contemplate road are up
in arms against those who promised
to build it. II would have given much /,
work for the laboring class which !
they are sOrely in need of at the !
present time. /
The farmers have had hard time |
the past winter to get their produce |
to market. owing to the miserable /
condition of the roads. Some person !
or persons are responsible for this
road not being built. Who are they?
