RETURN DAY AND ITS ORIGIN

the State. To many Of the folk living
in the rural districts it was the gala
day of every two yearsA Whole fami-
lies arrived in OK teams, with prOvender
sufficient to last the entire day and
frequently a small-sized regiment was
canlped out in the public square
which, by the way, is a perfect circle
of green. Up to within a few years
ago it was enclosed with a whitewashed
board fence. 1t now is encircled with
a heavy iron chain supported at inter-
walls by ugly wooden posts. IL is trav-
ersed with paved walks and is a favor
lite promenade with the young raople
on Sunday afternoons.
Though the custom has died out to a
great extent. it is likely that Return
Day. will be observed in Georgetown
as long as elections are held. for it is
dear to the hearts of the people of old
Sussex. If the TeOple are more up-to-
! the-minute. and there is less open love
making and dining in the streets, it is
time when old acouaintances are re-
newed and paling friendships receive
new colorings. No doubt some of the
candidates feel that they were butch
cred to make the holiday. but even
they bury this disappointment and
take part in the memiment
