Milford chronicle. [volume] (Milford, Del.) 1878-1974, 1896-01-10
MILTON.

Charles Moore, ex-Sheriff A, B. Robin
son, Peter j Hart, George Hatfield and
Walter Pepper,of Georgetown, visited Mil.
ton on Monday last to see how our pulse
beat for the proposed railroad to come via
Georgetown and Milton. They would like
to strike our navigation but our pulse don't
beat that way. Through Greenwood and
Mllendale is the correct route undoubtedly ;
then we could tap the Delaware road at
Greenwood to go North and the distance to
Harrington would be nine miles nearer than
it is now from Glendale. If the said road
comes via Bridgeville and Georgetown, to
go North we would have to go that round
about way or drive to Glendale as we have
done for thirty years Milton wants the
shortest and most direct route, both to Will
mington and Baltimore, and the Greenwood
route will do it, and all our good citizens
will take hold and aid in its coming. A
meeting was held Thursday evening here
and the report of this caucus ! will give in
full next week.
Our PUBLIC school is closed yet indef-
nitely, owing to some cases here of diph-

the dam that stands on an angle of sixty

cold some poor fellow got the top of his load
of fodder hooked to it, and on Tuesday at
6 90 a. m your scribe fonnd the bender and
rack all over the dam. Mr. Papnter would
you please have it cut down. It's very
dangerous to carriage tops
The young ladies' in the Neck hold the
reins when out driving, and all the young
men need to do is to sit and hold them so
they don't fall out; but they fall OUT any
how.
