IT is understood that Prof Sloss will
not remain in Milford at the head
of the Classical Academy longer
than the present school year. This
building should be promptly procured by
the school boards of North aud South
Milford and used as a high school. This
suggestion could be made to take on
some practical form and be pushed to a
successful cousumation. Milford very
much needs a high school and if an ar
rangement could be made whereby both
North aud South Milford could cooper
ate. now is the time to go ahead and per
feet the arrangement. There is not any
reason to think Of failure in such an I'M
dertaking With high school in Mil
ford there would be very many in attend
auce from other towns throughout Kent
and Sussex counties. Teach the classics,
higher mathematics, political economy,
ETC., ETC., in this school-begin where
the public schools leave off-and success
would be almost assured at once. At
least fifty young ladies and young gen
tlemen living right here in the town
would be entered as students at once,
and many more would come III from the
surrounding neighborhood, We believe
with proper management, such a school |
could be made to pay all expenses at the
start. A diploma from such school as
we propose would be something to be
proud Of. We shall be pleased indeed to
see this subject acted upon and the men
the school board or boards
that provides such a school for this COM
munity will be remembered with grateful
hearts long after they have passed out of
his wsrld into the great beyond. !

THE County Convention of the Wom'
ans Christian Temperance Union held at
Nassau, April I2th was a success. Some
doubted the wisdom of trying to hold the
convention in the country but the ladies'
of the local Union we're equal to the occa
sion and brought refreshments to two
houses near the church, where dinner and
supper we're served to the delegates and
visitors, numbering about one hundred.
1t was a charming as we'll as a sensible
idea, and gave a delightful opportunity
for all to become better acquainted with
one another. There is a strong temper
ance spirit prevailing in the community,
and the men, evidently, heartily approved,
endorsed, and aided the women in the
work. The officers of the county were all |
present, as we're also Miss Margaret Hill
les, President of State Union, and Mrs. /
M. B Ellis, national organizer of w. c.
T U. The County President, Mrs Abbie
Fisher, presided, and after greetings from
Rev. ]. S. Wickline, a former pastor, and
words of welcome from Rev. G. Neese
and Mrs. NJ Carter, Rev. c A Grice, of
Georgetown, spoke in a forcible manner
on intemperance and appealed to the
voters irrespective of party, to battle
against it. A letter from Mrs, Sudler was
read describing the workings of "The
Girls Industrial School," and an appeal
made to the local unions to assist in car ,
wing on this work. A lot for a building !,
lite has been donated by Wilmington

THE men or boys, whoever they may
be, who placed the rope across North Wal.
nut street, securely tied to trees on either
side on Tuesday night, should be severely
dealt with by those in authority. The
rope referred toiwas about four feet above
the ground and Mr.. Frederick Berguer,
being in the lead of a party of bicycle
riders went laundering into it with such
force as to break it into. The rope took
him directly across the breast and as he
was leaning forward at the time and going
very fast it parted without slipping Had
the rope caught Burgner under the chin
those who placed it there would have
been responsible, possibly, for a life A
short time ago some one piled bricks in
the street at Second ami North Streets
and came near injuring a bicycle rider.
The perpetrators Of this dastardlY act are
known to us and we can produce the
evidence to convict them. If they again
are ever suspected of such work, we may
feel it our duty to prosecute them in the
old case, as such maliciously inclined |
people should be taught a lesson they |
will remember long while A word to
The wise should be sufficient.
