GLENDALE.

With every prospect good for fruit
crop up to date, our farmers and fruit
growers are looking forward with conf
dence for a prosperous year. We need a
real cold snap now so that the earth may
be chilled to such degree, that it will
make it impossible foT the sap to start
/ flowing before March. A crop of peaches
means many improvements to property
near Glendale, aud this III turn means
employ to mechanics--so you see every
body here is interested in the weather
and anxiously praying for it to get much
colder.
Glendale feels proud to announce that
one of the last duties Of Governor Biggs
was to commission Joshua A. Ellegood
Justice-ofthe-Peace in and for Sussex
county, with residence at this place. He
took the oath of office on Saturday last,
and on Monday had four cases placed in
his hands for trial.
A successful revival meeting IS in pro-
press in the Methodist Church, and many
have professed to have found peace.
Miss Lille R. Jacobs, of Bridgeville,
who has made a reputation as a writer
and elocutionist, is visiting her brother,

A number of our young ladies with
their escorts got a very cold bath. While

MILTON.

, Last Wednesday morning one Of on
most esteemed citizens passed from tn
mortal to a glorious mortality, and w
shall know Mrs Eliza Hall no more on
earth. She was in the 67th year Of he
age, and was constant member CT the
Methodist church, from whence her fu
neral will take place on Friday, January
23rd. About four years ago her husband,
Houston Hall, preceded her into the
great future Her son is one of the lead
ing merchants Of Milford.
Burton & Parker have bought the build
ing lot from Mr. Fox. and will commence
to rebuild on the burned district as soon

Our town has got part of the honorary
Offices in the new deal of state govern
ment. The honor is about all there is
attached to the Office; but still it is better
than having no officials in Milton at all.
We refer to the appointment Of Samuel
]. WilsoN as a Colonel on Governor Reyn-
olds staff. When it is considered that
an appointment on the Governors staff
means free trip to the Worlds Fair at
Chicago in 1892, it was no wonder that |
Governor Reynolds had sixty applicants |
for staff positions.

WE doubt there being town any
where that suffers more than Milford
from croakers. Instead Of talking
it up, there are those who seek every
opportunity to do the opposite. One
would think that every citizen would
feel it to be his interest to say as
little as possible against the place
where he lives. Don't you do it,
reader. So far as the truth allows,
speak in praise oft. Cover over its
shortcomings and vices-unless their
exposure will be helpful to business
and morals.

Illegal Pension Fees.

John W Hickman aged 65 years, and who
resides near Nillsboro, Sussex county, was
convicted IN the United States Court at Will

a pension agent fol Mrs. Nellie Mitchell It
appeared that he charged the fee allowed by
law, which is $40 and gave a receipt for that
but had verbal understanding that he was
to get a present of $40 more when the PEN
sion was received. There were many wit
nesses on both sides; but the case was so
plain that the jury returned a verdict of
guilty. In sentencing the accuse, Judge
Wales said that on account Of Hickman s
age and in6rmity he would impose very
light sentence upon him. The sentence was
a fine Of SIoo and imprisonment for six
months at hard labor The prisoner was
very much affected, tears ooursed down his
cheeks and his manner drew the sympathy
