The Fourth of July. 1907, is numbered
lmong the days that are past. There
Vas no demonstration in Milton. patriot
cally, to commemorate the event that
separated this country from that nation
that broke the power of the mighty Ma
poleon upon the plains of Belgium. One
thing that makes our hearts feel glad.
and causes the blood to circulate through
our arteries, is that on day of freedom
all political feuds aud arrangements are
forgotten and the "stars and stripesD are |
by the two grand political par
ties of this nation. Both of these parties
claim Columbia" as its own; and truly |
she IS. Notably was this recognized by |
the writer, when on Friday morning we
went walking down Federal street. The
only display Of bunting we noticed was
in front of the homes of DR.. James A.
Hopkins and Captain c. H. Atkins. One
Of these gentlemen as sound Republic
can as the State can produce, the other
as strong a Democrat. They live oppo-
site each other; and agree on everything
with perhaps the possible exception of
politics. But this has nothing to do with
to-day. Continuing our DECENTRALIZATION,
we passed up Chestnut street. and really,
we must say, there were more demonstra-
tons Of patriotism in the NJ. E. Gene
terry than any we had seen on this street,
thus far-the recent flags put upon the
soldier graves were in evidence. Farther
up the street, however, at the homes of
Benjamin Walls and Postmaster Manship
miniature "old glories" were waving. In
the afternoon-the train was late--the
Milton Fire Company and many of the
citizens, and pretty ladies of our town,
went to Lewes as the guests of the town
of Lewes. It would be impossible to
convey a fitting appreciation of what the
citizens of Milton who were on this ex-
cursion, and particularly of the Milton
Fire Brigade, feel toward the people of
Lewes. Their entertainment exceeded
expectations. To the officers of Lewes,
and particularly to Mayor Thompson,
with whom the writer has been acquGin-
ted, possibly longer than with any other
officer of the town-over twenty years -

off nicely. There were no casualties, al

the history of the Fourth of July.
