SHAD are coming into our market with
a rush. They began selling on Friday
last at one dollar the pair On Monday
they dropped to eighty cents, on Tuesday
TO sixty-five cents and now they are down
to City cents a pair. AT this price Mil
ford is a hard market to Overstock aud
only BY drawing from all the streams
around aud even from Maryland streams
does the market get glutted at all. They
are the proper diet for the spring and
those who are desirous of assisting nature
TO keep right will eat more of them and
less meats Fifty cents is low enough for
q good pair of shad, but in another week
they will probably go down to forty cents
or even less

MILFORD has more large merchants IN
different lines Of trade than any town i'll
the State, excepting the city of Whining
ton. and larger stocks OF goods are car
ried. finer in quality and more varied in
their style, then those of the merchants
of anv other town, Their trade demands
this Of them and as they buy for cash,
usually, and ia very large quantities, they
can and do sell anything or everything III
their respective lines cheaper, we believe,
than those Of any other town IN the State.
For these reasons Milford is, as it justly
should be, the best town in the State to
buy goods in and the people of the whole
southern section Of this peninsula make
Milford their objective point when they
wish to buy merchandise Of any descrip-
ton whatsoever. If the streets were
paved the town would take on the appear
ance of little city. with its large stores,
electric lights, water works, etc Now IS
the time to commence doing something
that will be OF lasting benefit to the streets
of the town, which are so often nothing
more than mud holes and at other times
a bed of dust which is worse than the
mud. Pave the streets, and pave Walnut
street first of all.
