won the admiration Of every one present
These boys have been playing ball all
spring and summer and have not taken
in money sufficient TO pay their expen-
ses, and now at this time when the
team is giving Milford first class ball
the fence is TO be taken down, suits
taken away from the boys and no
ground for them to play upon There
should be enough local pride in the citi-
zens Of Milford to come to these boys
rescue, as this is a local team and not
hired player in the nine. They are
worthy of better treatment and support

Anniversary Of Old St. Peters Church.

Inc zOOth anniversary of the founding
OF st. Peters Parish by the Church of
England, at Lewes, Del, was last week
celebrated by the congregation in this
the Fourth Church building since l7O5.
The Rev. Mr.. Turner, the present rector
gave an interesting sketch Of the history
OF the parish, dwelling in particular upon
the period beginning in 1921. during
which time the Rev. William Beckett a
missionary sent ont from the Society
Tor the Propagation of the Gospel' at
London, was here. 1t seems that pre.
yious to his time there was only an occa-
slonal service held among the different
homes. In the records left by this mis-
slonary (who was undoubtedly an indus-
tnous and faithful minister as the data
leit by him indicates) is complete cen
sus OF Sussex county, heads of families.
negroes both bond and free. An inter
esting bit OF history was revealed in the
interest taken in the colOred people at
that time by this church. Several refer
ences were made in the Rev. Mr.. Beck
srs letters to the Society to the Presby-
ierlans and Friends who constituted the
'ther worshippers of the county. In
hese letters he mentions the Friends as
having minister which seems digres-
ION from their present form of worship.
'lany other interesting things were
'rought out in the discourse. o
Bishop Coleman was present and ad-
the rite OF confirmation to o
we persons, four adults and one girl, at P
he service.

ESCAPE SUSSEX JAIL.

On Thursday of last week fifteen OF
tine prisoners in the Georgetown Jail
got tired Of staying there and left in a
body. Eleven OF the lot were cOlOred
