For two weeks before its welcome de
mise, February was kicking up its heel:
like wild kangaroo. No one who i:
susceptible of chilling wind has been
exempt from its icy hold. AS a conse.
quence it has left us with grips, pneumo.
mia, pleurisies, tOnsolitis. and all other
ailments which flesh is heir to. But Feb
ruary is gone; and JOY go with its depar-
ture. However, 1--WE may not boast OF
time to come, cen but a single day" If
the successor of its predecessor retains
its old-time prestige, we may expect
much from the horoscope that guards
| Marchs destiny.
Notwithstanding the war of the ele-
ments, and the unsuccessful attempt to
elect two Senators by the Legislature at
Dover, and the prospective re-inaugura-
ton of President Mckinley, il is a fact
that bears much comment, that the citi-
zens of Milton met in election on Satur-
day last, and elected three men of Mil
ton to succeed the three who went out.
IF any one does not like the grammar
of the preceding phrase, he will send us a
private note and we will explain. Any
how it is alleged the town should not be
bonded, and it is presumable under the
present regime it will not be bonded.
Many of our townsmen are glad they
have made pint, and this reminds us Of
renovation:
1t is related there was a colored minis
ter who was doing the thing la Sam
Jones. He took for his text: "And these
are the men who turn the world upside
down" CHOW bredern," said he, 81
shall divide my discourse into three parts,
viz: First, The world is upside down >
second, 1t must be got right third,
we are the men to do it. On the latter
one of this sellogism, our point is seen.
Negotiations are progressing, and we
must think favorably in regard to another
cannerv to take the Place of the one re-
Gently burned. Certainly, there should
be nothing to draw from the already
healthy feeling toward this enterprise
The question may be asked: Do the peo-
pie of Milton rightly appreciate the i'm
portance of a cannery? Let us briefly
elucidate- The young girls and children
Of Milton, walk our streets as nicely

ents are not millionaires. Why do they
do this? Because they earn their living
from the factories, and we can safely say
that twenty-five out of every fifty of the
girls in Milton can, after their work of
the week is done, go to the church and if
the Organist is not there, any of them who
may be called on in the congregation to
perform the work, can do it. Almost
every family in town is teaching their
daughters music. Take the canneries
from Milton, and you will find that next
summer, if the town is able to have one,
the town bailiff sitting along the street
with few woe-begone followers, crying.
Give to us, for our lamps have gone out. .

we think.
