is said that this is the best concert company
that ever travelled through this State. The

years ago. If they ever should visit this
town again they will not be able to accom-
modate the people who will go.
Easter services were celebrated here in all
of the churches last Sunday. E ach of the
programs in the different churches were very
beautiful indeed. The offerings we're quite
large, also.
Mr.. W. H. Knox, who was severely in.
jured last week by being kicked by mule
is now able to be out again.
The old piling that have been lying in
front ofthe station for year or more, have
been removed which adds very much to the
appearance of the oompany's grounds.
The members of Prof A G. Webster's
dancing class intend to give a dance in
Campers Hall iu the near future which will
be conducted by the Professor himself.
The sale of ]. c. Reeds store goods is
still going on. The auctioneer thinks he
will finish up this week This sale will
hurt the merchants in this town and Milford
for while. This is the largest constable s
sale that ever took place in this town.

SENATE BILL l48, entitled san act
to amend chapter 81 of volumn 10,
Laws of Delaware, entitled an act
to provide for the secrecy and pur-
ity of the ballot" now before the
Legislature should be defeated, every
Republican in that body should and
no doubt will vote against it, when
opportunity offers. They should
stand together as one man and vote
against It's provisions as one man.
Section Is, lines SO to "A inclusive,
reads "If the voter by reason of
any physical disability is unable to
fold the ballots, or from defective
eye sight is unable to distinguish
one ballot from another, he may call
to his assistance in the booth both
of the judges of election, who shall
together Immediately give him the
aid he desires. But no assistance
shall be given any voter for any rea-
son other than the physical disqual-
ifications in this Section herein be-
fore set forth" The above if en-
acted into law, would keep an hon
est expression of opinion from being
recorded through the ballot. Unfor-
tuLate as it is, it is nevertheless
true, that a very large per cent of
the voters of this State are unable
to read. They are members of both
parties and the above provision would
cause many votes to be thrown out
as defective from improper stamp
ing. What is needed is a Law that
will stamp out bribery without stamp
ing out as it were the will of the peo-
pie as expressed through the ballot,
at the same time.
Senate bill lac should be defeated
by the votes of every member of both
parties in both branches of our State
Legislature.
