School Meeting.


There was a full attendance at the
meeting held in the South Milford
schoolhouse on Friday night. Mr..
Samuel Simpler was elected chairman,
and William Sipple secretary. Robt.
II. Gilman stated that the school had
out-grown the seating capacity of the
house, and tina. something must be
done to increase the accommodations.
He did not think the time had come
to build a new house, and suggested
that the district buy the second-story
of the school house now. occupied by
the Chapel.
Prof. Ward was called for, and stated
that there were frequently two hun
dred children in the four rooms; in the
primary department three children
had to occupy one seat; there was not
space in his room for a class of ten to
reclte without disturbing those who
were study ing.
Hon. w. F. Causey said, that in the
past he had not been aOle 10 take luucll
interest in the school, but he now ex-
pected to make his home in Milford,
and he was determined they should
have a good school; he was not in favor
of extravaganza, or Of an oppressive
tax, and thought the best plan at pres
ent would be to purchase the Chapel.
After some further debate, a COM
mittee of five was appointed to confer
with the trustees Of the Chapel and see
on what terms il could be bought. Mr..
Causey was requested to draw up a
bill to incorporate the South Milford
School Board to consist Of seven mem.
bers. The meeting adjourned to meet
to-nlght at half-past seven p. M, when
the committee is expected TO report

A TALK ABoUr TREAr's ExcuRMoN.

A TALK ABOUT TREATS EXCURSION
Tt is we'll known to the public on
the line of the D. NJ. and V. rail-
road, the facilities we have given on
our excursions for every one to 60
to Georgetown at a very low fare.
This was done to sell our goods and
to give the public the opportunity
to buy from large stock of goods,
with fine assortment, at city prices.
Ry great many customers this is
appreciated, but quite number of
persons who take advantage of the
low fares are no benefit or help, be-
cause they do not buy of us. They
like the ride and are glad that Treat
charters the train, so they can
travel so cheap, transact some pri-
vate business and visit their friends
in Georgetown; but they seem to
think we are engaged in a charity
entertainment and can give some
thing for nothing. Now the public
who enjoy the benefits Of these ex-
cursion rates have a duty TO sustain
us in return with their patronage.
We cannot afford to continue these
excursions unless we are sustained;
"all give and no take soon makes
Jack poor boy" Now, in order to
protect ourselves and those custom
ers who desire to trade with US, we
have made the following arrange
ment with Passenger and Traffic
Manager, A. Brown, of the d. NJ.
and V. railroad: Their agents at
the different stations on their line
will sell our excursion tickets as
usual. The fare from Lewes and
intermediate stations to George
town and return will be so cents
Berlin and intermediate stations
to Georgetown and return, so
cents all stations below Berlin to
Franklin City to Georgetown and
return, 81. These tickets will not
be good to return unless stamped
by us at our store at Georgetown.
We will stamp them, and at the
same time repay to the holder one
half the cost Of the ticket, pro-
vided he buys one dollars worth
of goods at our store. In this way
the cost of the ticket viii be Just
the same as the old rates, This ar
rangement will not make any
trouble or delay, as we shall have
a person specially appointed to at
tend to this matter. A dollar
spent with us by 500 persons is
$500 and goes fur toward helping
us bear the burden and take the
risk of chartering the train. We
feel greatly encouraged at the
words of approval from our Gus
toners for this course, and we be-
lieve the great public who love fair
play and appreciate enterprise will
rally in great numbers to the sup-
port of the New York Store.

WE commend the following article
to the careful consideration of the long
suffering people of Milford:
On Wednesday evening about eight
o'clock, one of the residents of New
street, in Dover, saw a man pass by the
window of his house. He went out, 1t
being moonlight, and saw him stand
ing under n shed a short distance of.
Watching him few moments, he saw
him making for the hen-hOuse. Pick
ing up a stick of wood he followed, and
lust as the thief was about entering
the door of the hen-house he struck
him one over the head, telling him to
the ground like beef, where he lay
unconscious for twenty m'9uies-so
long, i'm fact, that the man was fearful
that he had killed him. He recov-
cred. however--a and got up and LETT
without taking any chickens,and VIA
out leaving his name. He was col
Ored man. If every chicken thief
could be served in tine same manner,
their would be less thieving.
Milford chronicle., 1885-02-06

For the benefit of the chicken thief
who has been robbing the junior edi-
tor of the CHRONICLE of his stock of
poultry, we make the following state
ment, so that the aforesaid thief may
be spared the trouble of making an
other visit. We have one poor old
rooster left that climbs to the top OF a
peach tree at sundown, and is cOnse-
quently out of temptations way; but
we have purchased an old muscovy
duck that we shall be pleased 10 leave
in a convenient place for any poultry
kelptomaniac that may stray our way.
We will guarantee the old duck to be
sound and gentle,an will refer to Mr..
Geo. II. Hall for his pedigree. If any
one is not satisfied with his bargain
after stealing him, we Will take him
back and ask no questions.

MEssRs. EDITORS: Il was very
much provoked to see it stated by a
local in your last issue, that two boys
had been expelled from Milford High
School.
In truth, no pupil has been expelled
by the Board of Trustees since the or
ganization of the school. In this in
stance, the two boys were sent home
by the principal on Friday morning.
At meeting of the Trustees held on
Saturday evening of the same week,
a detailed statement of the matter was
made by the Principal himseltand i'm
mediately thereafter the two boys were
reinstated without a dissenting voice,
and with the earnest desire and cor
dial approval of the Principal.
