Will the Stores Close g.?

Some Of the clerks are considerably
worried over the question Of closing
the stores on Decoration Day; they are
in doubt as to whether the stores will
close, because the day comes on Satur-
day. Of course many of the faithful
toilers are much interested in the ath-
letic sports; especially the first base
ball game Of the season, which will be
played on that day at the home
grounds, and would like very much to
witness the game. The clerks should
start movement to get the business
men to enter into a mutual agreement
and close for the day. If all business
men should do this, it would greatly
assist the Athletic Association.

The public schools Of this town are

No COmpIimentaries.

modern met hods good library
is necessary to Well equipped school
a. text books. For its size the public
school library is by all odds the best
patronized one in town, an average of
at least forty books are taken out each
week. OurydictiOnaries and encyclo-
pedias are constantly needed, and be-
cause Of the great demand for books
and our deficiency to supply, we have
been dependent to a great extent on
private charity for the securing suffi-
cient numbers to satisfy the demand.
None of the new books have been pur-
chased, and through the constant per-
usal of the old ones they have become
very much worn. We hope to remedy
these deficiencies through the proceeds
of our musicale.
The people of Milford are noted for
their liberal patronage of the school
entertainments, and we promise you
that the rendition of the program will
be full of interest and pleasure, but
beyond all that has heen said, you
should look upon the price that you
pay for your ticket as a contribution to
the publicschOol library. Atthe present
day it is a very popular form Of philan-
TROPHY, so having knowledge of your
generosity on cOmplimentaries will be
distributed for the musicale.

ATHLETIC ASSOCIATION
OF MILFORD.
GROUNDS ARE IN FINE CONDITION.
Will Play the First Game Of the Sea-
son on the Home Grounds on the
Afternoon Of June 29th.

The Athletic Association of Milford
are deserving of the assistance aud pat.
ronage Of the town and community.
They have been planning and work
ing for the past year, in order to have
an up-to-dute team here this season;
also, to have a g,ound that viii reflect
credit to the community and the AS
socialion.
They have erected a large, commodi-
Gus, and comfortable grand stand that
will seat at least 500 people, with a
protection in front of the stand that
makes it perfectly safe for ladies and
children to attend each game The
Association intends on having played
beginning with June 29th, three
games a week during the season, and
each game promises to be full Of inter
est, as they will all be arranged with
teams that are of the playing stock.
Tickets for the season can be pur-
chased for the small sum of five dollars,
otherwise each game will cost 25 cents.
OF course this move is one of broader
plans that we have kROwn since the
old Milford team crossed bats with
Dover in that atmemOrable sixteen inning
game with the score of to , in favor
of Milford. We are looking forward
to games of as much enthusiasm as
was manifested at that time; but it
must be remembered that the Associa-
ton must have the support of the pub
lie, if we witness such delightful re-
suits. So, wake up. give the AssOcia-
ton every available support, and res
urrect the old days when people tiocked
to Milford because of the manifested
interest in athletic sports.
At meeting of the Directors Of the
Milford Athletic Association, held last
Monday evening, it was decided to
postpone the opening of the season Of
1903 from May 25th to June 10Th.
They were compelled to do this, as
none of the neighbOring towns bave
completed their organizations, and the
team could not be selfsuppOrtins de
pending entirely on out of the State
clubs.
The Directors of the Athlete AssO-
citation are arranging for strong Decor
alton Day attractions, and hope to have
a large attendance at Athletic Park.
They have IabOred untirngly and
increasingly TO provide Milford with
the finest ball grounds and the finest
ball team in the State (Outside of Will
miugton) and it is but right and proper
that tie people show their apprecis-
ton by turning out on May Both.
Notice by posters and hand bills will
announce the Decoration Day attrac-
