Milford chronicle., 1892-07-29

Since the seasonable rains oflate the wea-
ther has been necessarily hot, and the shade
amongst the most sought after Of earthly
comforts. Ard the average Kiltonian loves
comfort. On snltry day, aud a short time
after the mail has arrived aud been distribu-
ted, one may walk over town and seldom
meet person. Occasionally he will see a
man sitting in front oflhe place where he adj
yertises to do business, sleeping nonchalently
while the hies have a merry time in their
tortuous perambulatious over his serene
countenance; or perhaps a dog may be found
lolling under the wagon Of some teamster
who has had the temertty to invade the
sleepy precints Of Milton. The Miltouians
are a quiet people. They love rest. Their
constitutions require rest They have but
few cares, and these they care but little about.
There are but few Of them very poor, and
fewer still exceedingly rich. The rich have
hard time to keep what they have; and
the poor a harder time to get what they
earn. We all love our beautiful little town,
and consider it the fairest in the State. The
citizens love for the town 10 one Of the par

do not wish to change It's cou6guration, nor
destroy its present appearance. Who would
have the smoke and SCOT from factory aud
furnace Invading our town and backing the
exteriors Of our nicely painted dwellings
Who would be aroused from his slumber at
midnight by the shrill whistle ola iocomo-
tive.or the blow pipe OF a steamboat who
would like to see beautiful dwellings erected
on the vacant lots in town, that are now so
convenient to grow potatoes and cabbages
