R. J. Young came in this week from his ranch in Luna valley, and reports the Clifton summer colony in that section as having all kinds of time. Miss Bostick and Miss Anderson, ac- companied by Bill Nevins, Ernest Vesche and Abner Davis, recently had a somewhat strenuous eXperi- ence in the mountains, which the young ladies are not apt to soon for get. They went out on horseback on an exploring expedition under the guidance of MT. Nevins. It was either an off day with MT. Nevins and he lost his bearings, or Intentionally led the party so far into the wilds that he could not get them back again that night. They wandered through the mountains until about P o'clock at night, when they ran onto a prospectOr's camp, and got something to eat. Fortunately they were on horseback and stood the trip fairly we'll It is said that the young ladies enjoyed it hugely, not realizing that they were lost until after they struck camp.

Tennis Tournment- Score 4 Tie.

The tennis contest between Mo- renci and Clifton was played here on the morning of July the Fourth. The visiting team consisted of MT. Hendricks, one of the champanions of Southern California and third baseman on the Morenci base ball team; and MT. Cleaveland. MT. James Cooper and Dr. Gillian formed the local team.
 MT. Cooper won two straight sets, 6-2 and 6-3 in the Singles contest with MT. Cleaveland. The injured kneejoint of MT. Cleaveland was partly responsible for his defeat MT. Hendricks easily defeated Dr. Gillian in two straights, score 6-1 and 6-2
 Two hard-fought, long dence sets were played in the Doubles contest. The visiting team won the first, score 9-7 and the local team the second, 11-9. On account of the afternoon ball game it was impossible to finish the contest, which will be played off at some future date.
 The many spectators enjoyed the game immensely.
 MT. Cooper deserves great credit for the style of game he puts up, since this is only, his second season. The brilliant features of the game were Hendricks sure service, quick swift returns and accurate placing. He plays an excellent "net" game.

Fine Grapes This Year.

The new package manufactured by
John Horton of Lincoln ,fr m pattern
he has had patented, will solve the
question of shelving cars and bring a
satisfactory method of shipping to the
fruit growers Of Delaware. The small
package has been used to ship plums
this season, and it has been found to
bring fine results to the grower; as the
package sells for just the same money
as the berry crates did, and holds only
half as much, while the package costs
less than a third.
These same packages have been used
for the shipment Of grapes, and those
using them have found that their grapes
net them fully one cent per pound more
in these Horton carriers. Mr. Gyles.
who bought the Dixie farm, or rather
part Of it, has been shipping MoOre's
Early grapes in these packages and
finds them more than satisfactory to
him. At Brenford, FELTON,, Wyoming
and Smyrna these packages are very
popular, and the young man who in
vented this package has done the fruit
growers CT Delaware a kindness. II
should stimulate the growth Of grapes
in this section, and their culture will
yield large returns to those who engage
in it first.
We know of no person in this section
who is as well fitted to tell the actual
results Of grape culture as isJames B.
Gilchrist and we shall bepleased to
have him give the experience he has
had with the growing of grapes for
profit here in Milford.

these children get into the country they
yell and scream and act like crazy per-
sons. Is it that their parents have not
taught them better? Country children

they go into the town. The town chill.

A Good Road Needs Attention.

The road leading from Cedar Beact
TO Milford, especially the end next tC
the town, should receive attention ano
care on the Fart of the road supervisor
who is Mr.. George H. Titus. This road
was built at considerable expense to
the court, and has been fine public
highway for several years, but it has
had nothing done towards keeping il
in repair this season, and therefore
there are two or more places where the
clay has worn and cut through. These
places will soon become large and costly
sources for repair.
Good business sense would tell any
one interested in the public lads, that
it is economy to keep a good road in
repair, rather than let it get worn out
in spots. A few loads Of clay placed on
these places even now, and the sand
that has washed upon the rood in other
places, would do the trick. Will Mr..
Titus do this?
I use this road every week and am
interested that it should be kept in
good repair. I hope that the policy Of
shoveling sand in to fill the worn out
places will not be started on this road
that would be a misfortune, and l am
sure that Mr.. Titus has more good COM
mon sense than to permit this being
done. A TAX PAYER OF SUSSEX.
