Now that a mouth to our river is as
sured, it is time for our merchants and
farmers to consider the question of trans
portation. If they organize a stock COM
pany and put a steamboat upon the route
between here and Philadelphia, the rail
road will be unable to buy off and remove
a competing line, but if boat is put on
by outside parties, she will be either
bought off or be paid to make irregular
trips and give poor service. Call a meet
in slof farmers and merchants, talk the
matter over, and see if the project is ready
for action. Make the shares SIS each, get
every farmer aud merchant interested and
the boats patronage is assured. With a
good mouth for our river we can land
peaches IN Philadelphia at five cents per
basket as against twelve cents now charged
by railroad.

THE ladies own a large percentage of
the houses in Milford, and this is the sea-
son in which fires are most frequent. AS
the ladies are largely interested, we sug-
gest that thev arrange a fair, festival, or
whatever other plan they may think most
likely to result in financial success, for
the purpose of raising funds with which
to more thoroughly equip the fire COM
pany-which has already done them ex-
cellent service. There are many ladies
who can carry this idea to success-in the
hands of Miss Annie Watson, the Misses
Hall, the Misses Causey, the Misses
Barker, the Misses Humes, Miss Sharp,
Miss Willis and a score of others, success
would be assured-while Mrs. Torbert,
Mrs. Carlisle Mrs. Annie P. Williams,
Mrs. R. II. Williams, Mrs. P. F. Causey
Mrs. W. F.~Causey, Mrs. Hall, Mrs Rey-
nolds, Mrs. r. H. Clark, Mrs Roudebush,
Mrs. Pratt, Mrs. Marshall and many more
large property holding ladies would ably
assist them. If the ladies act in this mat
ter-and we believe they will-she fire
company will not only have new fire hats
and rubber mittens, but they will have a
we'll furnished parlor for their meeting
rooms, which will be a pleasure for them

interested in having good FIRE depart
ment in Milford, and we believe they
will assist in this case.
