AT the mention of that pame-the

realized that she was in the power OF a

SIS EDIroRs-A few days ago gen
denian of Milford and the writer of this
article improved the opportunity Of spare
hour by visit to the colored school.
Outside Of the building were two or three
of the boys who, pausing moment IN tneir

ne We found the teacher, Mr.. Chas. Fer
rette. to be man who had had good advan-
tages for education, and made good use ol
them. The colored people have done wen
to provide so good a school building ana TO
sustain such school. They deserve our
announcement Not only this, but we owe
il to ourselves to give them help, to eneour-
ACE them and teach them to help themselves
TO oshow them where they have done wen
and where they may improve lies within the
power Of every intelligent person IN the
community. Why not do it? 1t is just ana
right and it will pay. We have and must
have these people with u.s. if intelligent ana
selfsustaining citizens they are help 70

ignorant, they may be not only shittless ana
dependent but even dangerous. Read what
the New York "Sun" says in recent edi-
torial:
For their own interest, however, the white
people of Kentucky cannot afford to pc oack-
ward in giving the colored people suincien'
educational facilities. 1t is cheaper 10 pay
for education than for pauperism crime
and social deterioration.

WE have received a copy OF the
History of the First Regiment, Della
ware Volunteers, from the Historical
Society ofDelaware. The pamphlet
contains a complete history Of the
regiment from the commencement
of the three months service to the
final muster out at the close Of the
rebellion.
On the 29th of January, 1884, the
colors carried by the First Delaware
Regiment during the last three event
ful years of the war, were deposited
in the rooms of the Historical So
ciety ofDelaware ,suhjectto the order
of the Regimental Association. At
a subsequent meeting Of the Society,
on motion of DR.. L. p. Bush, reso-
luton was adopted to the effect that
the Council of the First Delaware
REGIMENT Association be requested
to prepare a brief history Of the reg
iment for the use of the society,
Capt. w. P. Seville was selected by
his comrades for the performance OF
this duty, and this volume is the re-
suit of his labors. 1t shows tlat he
was well qualified for the task. The
book is interesting, amusing and in
structiye, and will be q valuable adj
dition to the history of our State.

THE resolutions adopted at the
session of the State Grange held in
Dover last week, contained some
points that it would be well for the
farmers all through the State to
adopt as their principles. There IS
no disputing the fact that the coun-
try would be better off if we could
have fewer elections; OF, "that the
frequent libelous and unwarrantable
attacks upon the private character
of candidates for public positions, "
are a disgrace to our politics. 1t IS
also very true that the farmers are
in the majority in this State and
could elect men to the Legislature
that would represent their interests;
but the trouble is they do not want
to; they are vastly more anxious to
put in a good Democrat or good
Republican, than good farmer.
One party don't want reform because
it would ieopardize the power they
have gained; the other, because they
hope to acquire the power some day,
and do not want it weakened. What
we need in this State is a minority
representation, and the only way we
can get it is by dividing the State
into districts, and giving the people
.Df each district the right to chose
i.sseir own representatives. But as

THE DelaicaTe Democrat reports
case that should receive the atten-
tion of the authorities of the Chill
drens' Home, and that should make
them more careful rs to the ability
of those families with whom they
place their wards, to maintain them
comfortably. A minister Of George
TOWN learned of a little fellow that
had been taken from one OF the
homes for fricndless children, by a
family unable to give him more than
the bare necessities of life, and who
was in need Of suitable wearing ap
parel; the minister supplied him
bountilully, but he should have gone
further than that. Such Il case
should be reported to the authori
ties, and the child placed with far
mers who are able and who would
give the friendless child not only
clothing and food, but an education.
The system of putting out children
with people who are too poor to
properly keep their own family,with-
out the addition of a friendless boy
or airl condemns the child to slavery
as abiect as that Of any negro pre-
vious to our late war. Families oi
this class only take child because
Of the profit it will be to them, and
have no regard for its temporal o.
spiritual welfare.

GEO. II. HALL,

who, from clerkship has risen to the head
of the large mercantile, wood railroad tie and
shipping business of Milford. It is to men
Of this class that Milford owes her progress
We will give a brief resume Of the promi-
nent business houses of Milford, and yet
there are many more smaller ones that carry
really fine lines that are not i'll our list. If
the merchants Of Milford ever made more
elaborate preparations for the holiday trade
than they have in 1856 we cannot recall the
time, and this year witnesses new era i'll the
shop business of Milford; instead Of catering
entirely to the cheap trade, the idea prevails
that fine goods and handsome articles will
sell in Milford if they are properly displayed
and kept i'll assortment. With this i'll view,
Milford merchants have visited the large ba-
zaars in tile cities, and in making purchases
have been governed by the prevailing and
unique styles. We do not hesitate to say
that the shoppers in Milford can make Sc
lection of Just as pretty, and of as fine quail
ity in fancy goods and useful articles, as they
can in the city, while the prices are just as
reasonable.

A COMPARISON OF 1855 WITH 1850

a COMpARISON OF 1908 WIN AND"'
Long before the railroad was built down
the Peninsula, Milford was the mecca OF the
vast section of farming lands of Kent and
Sussex. from where FELTON,, Vernon, Haf-
rineton. Pennington, Bridgeville, Georgetown
and dozen smaller towns now do thriving
business. Covered wagons crowded our
streets. ox-carts were common mode ofeon-
vevance, and the merchants of Milford sold
goods at retail that amounted to over $780,
900 for each firm per annuin. Those were
the days of large profits; when merchants
made visit to the city every six months and
bought stock by the vessel load. Every
large store sold whiskey and every customer
could walk to the barrel, where tin cup was
ALWAYS hanging, and there drink without
money and without price Two-score OF YES
sells traded out of our creek and were loaded
each way but with the building OF the rail-
road this bonanza was nipped in the bud.
THE farmer commenced to rise; his produce
brought him more money; newspapers kept
him informed Of the outside world, and the
merchants of Milford having grown fat in
pocket and person, made 10 effort to retain
trade that others were anxious to get They
had never kept for sale anything but the
coarsest and cheapest goods, and as the new
competitors offered better goods at the same
money. the merchandising business OF Mil
ford commenced to wane. The civil war
brought a reaction, but the boom it gave was
not permanent and the old merchants either
left the business fields or started their SONS
who as might be expected, having been ed
ucated in business principles by a departed
age, soon made failures, Out from these ashes
have grown young and thrifty class ofh;;a-
mess men; the business men of fto-day. Men
who have progressive ideas, and men who look

been getting into the habit Of having their
fruit cakes baked by professional baker i'll

drawn to him large patronage in this spec
ialty alone but this is only small item OF
his large business, and he has utilized part Of
his dwelling to display his stock of Christ
mas toys. Mr. S. is a man that has the rep
utation Of selling at very close margins on
cost, and his stock this year, while larger
than usual, is marked at prices that will
tempt the parents seeking after toys Another
line of goods that Mr.. Steward has got tie
right idea about is fruits White grapes, ba-
nanas and other perishable fruits will go rap
idly at moderate prices, while they hang FIRE
at high rates, and accepting this fact he will
sell accordingly. While he does not make
his own candy, yet he buys directly from
Whitman's large wholesale house in Phila-
delphia, and as a result, his stock is always
