MILTON NEWS.

We have man in town who believes
an application of the "rod" to be bene-
fetal in all things. He AYERS there is no
more eiiicacious remedy for stunt ed
swine than to get into their pen with q
good CAD and give them a sound whip
ping, He says if they don't grow after
that heroic exercise, the owner had best
cut off their heads. Some time ago be
gave'an Glendale man some wholesome
advice about doctoriug barren fruit trees,
aud related his expe rieuce with one of
that class. Said he 81 had tree that
had not borne any fruit for several years,
I washed it, and did everything to it that
my mind could suggest, without avail.
The tree appeared to be iucorrigible so to
speak, at last, concluded to try the
merits of good thrashing on it. pro
cured me several gads aud went to the
tree. Before proceeding to whip it,
thought it proper to explain my motives
in SO doing; said I, "Mr. Tree, you have
been standing here for long time idle
doing nothing, what do you mean by
your lazinessl Amt goin to answer me
ha Well, III give you good licking
And pitched into that tree with all my
vim and beat it until I was tired and my
CAD worn out. After resting myself
spoke to the tree again, in this wise
Now what do you think of yourself, any
how7 Why do you cumbeF the ground
Pm going to give you another licking
and leave you here another year, and i
you don't bear fruit then, I'll cut yot
down and burn you up. And I pitched
into that tree again and actually cut par
of the bark from it. Then left it. AND
the next year that tree was full of fruit
Fact /" The above is not exactly in thu
language the man used in relating thi
notable occurrence to his hearer, but hi
firmly believes that In thrashing that tire,
he forced it to yield crop of fruit,
An engine from an Eastern firm ha

Smallpox in Ken County.

The State Board Of Health and the
Levy Court conferred last week con
corning the smallpox at Marydel and
in its vicinity.
DR.. Cooper, the president of the Board,
stated that he and DR.. Lowber. the Sec
rotary, had visited MarydeI and found
cases of genuine smallpox there. The
work of the board, he said, had been
hampered by prominent citizens de
claring that chickenpoX,a and not small
poX, pre-, a led at Marydel.
DIR. Vallandigham said the disease
had evidently been brought from Cuba
and despite the fact that it was in 1
modified form. there was danger of Sc
we're cases resulting therefrom.
The board recommended the issuance
of circular urging all persons in Ken
county, children especially, to get vac
cinated, and suggested that the cour
elect a vaccine physician for each hun
dred.
The court did not have quorum, bu
the members present assured the boar
that they would assist in stamping GU
smallpox in Kent county.
The board met subsequently, and de
cided to issue the circular.
The court held a meeting Tuesda
and directed each district to employ
vaccine physician whenever the diseas
appears, and pay not exceeding % cent
for each case vaccinated where the pa
ty is unable to pay for themselves.

Cigarette Smoking.

In the CHRONICLE of October 4, Prot. /
Brooks brings this matter of cigarette
smoking" to the notice of the public.
In May last, our Union formed an anti
tobacco club, which, at least, one hun
bred boys of the Milford Public Schools
joined by signing the Anti-Tobacco
Pledge Each boy was given neatly
framed certificate of membership to
said Club. Some of these boys NAV
never have used tobacco in any form.
While Others may be trying to break
away from habit already formed. If
so, why should they he exposed to
temptation by other boys being allowed
10 smoke around the school buildings ?
There is,as we all know, a law pro-
albiling the sale of cigarettes to chill
iren under a certain age. Why is not
this law enforced in our town? Men
make the laws. and they are the ones
10 enforce them. If a woman were to
visit these places of infamy and under
AXE to read the law publicly. they
'ould be scoffed at and probably called
"A second Carrie Nation"
How we watched, and even PRAYED.
'ver the progress of Senator Brasure's
Cigarette Bill, of last winter. The
lawmakers" themselves seemed to
think it was time something should be
lone; but that great power behind the
throne" viz: king Money" put
forth its mighty hand and the bill was
crushed.
| What father would stand and see his
boy drowning without lifting hand tc
save him? Impossible, " you say. Yet
how the fathers are standing and see
ing their boys being slowly but surely
poisoned by the hateful cigarette I'm
lawfully sold to them. What can the
teachers do but expel from our schools
scholars who will not observe the rules
Of the school? I will venture to saw
that if the mothers of our land wer,
allowed to even help make the laws

The civil term of court continued for two
days this week.
George W. Fowler and his young wife Wer-
THE Fowler, were brought into Court Mon.
day for trial for forgery. Noticing that Mrs.
Nettie NJ. Bennett, Mrs Fowler's sister, had
come all the way from FrankIinville, n. j..
TO testify against her, N rs. Fowler and her
husband notified the court that they desired
to change their plea Of not guilty to guilty
This was done after a remarkable scene be-
tween the prisoners and their counsel, W. P
Shockley and E. F, Reynolds, who declared
that their clients refused to obey them in any
particular, and were pleading guilty directl,
against their advice. The couple were re-
manded for sentence.
Nolan W. Travis, indicted for an assault o I
officer John W. Paris, of Harrington, or
october o. pleaded not guilty. The police
man, still lame and disfigured, told of Travis
knocking him OFF the bridge while passin,
from the street to the lookup door in Har
rington, after he had arrested Travis for fas
driving and disorder. When he had beer
knocked into the ditch Travis jumped on hin
with his heavy boots and stamped him abou
the body. Jesse e. Smith testified that b
saw Travis knock Parris into the ditch an,
then jump upon the PROSTATE man.
The defense showed that Travis broke ava
from the policeman, believing that he ha,
been illegally arrested for colliding with Eze
kiel Fleming's carriage. In freeing himsel
they urged, he used no unnecessary force,an,
= injured Paris because the latter pulled hir
into the ditch, when the two fell from tb
bridge in their struggle. The jury failed {
agree and Travis gave bail until next term.

tain particulars.
When he asked the woman when she saw
