ONE week from next Wednesday the
Sussex County Teachers Institute meets
in Windsor Hall, this town. Supt.
Knowles has labored hard in preparing
to make this the most successful gather
ing Of teachers ever held in Sussex county
and if we are TO judge by the program AS
published in these columns last week,
his efforts will prove great success.
The lecturers aud teachers from other
states are all men Of vast experience and
they will no doubt inIpart much valuable
information to the Sussex teachers A
large attendance OF Teachers is re-
.quested and demanded aud grand suc-
cess is as .ured Supt Knowles as a result
of his labor in this direction The teach
ers from all over Sussex county should
take advantage of this visit to Milford
and should come prepared to lay in their
winters supply Of clothing, etc. Milford
is the best shopping town south of Viii.
mington, and the great competition
among our many merchants keep prices
away down. Much money can be saved
by buying here and much greater va
riety Of goods of all kinds are found here
than Ill any other town in Delaware.
While in Milford we would advise the
school teachers to visit such merchants
as advertise in the columns of the
Oh RoNIcLE and the other Milford papers.
The big dealers, and those who are alive
and up to date, are the ones who tell the
people the many good things they have
for their comfort and pleasure. and The
proper place to tell the public Of such
things is through the columns ofthe home
papers Milford extends its welcome 10
the Sussex Teachers, which comes direct
from the tenderest spots OF their tender
hearts, and our people will contribute all
that in them lies to The comfort aud
pleasure aud happiness Of each OF those
who visit our town during the Institute.
