CALHOUN'S DISTRICT.

The drouth has almost ruined the pea
crop, and but few will get more than suf-
ficent TO pay for the seed planted, and in
this section the wheat crop is showing the
result Of dry weather.
Many sweet potato plants were cut off
by the late frosts, but they are resetting.
The peach crop promises well, but pears
and apples will be short of half crop.
With us blackberries are all right, but
need rain badly
The school here has closed for the season
and Miss Booz, the teacher, gave a de-
lightful picnic which was greatly enjoyed
by all fortunate in being present. We
hope to have her with US again next iall.

HAS the spirit of 10 died in the
breast of the people Of Milford ?
Are we willing to permit the chill
dren of to-day to know of the past
glory of the Fourth-of-July, only as
a memory? Will not even a mer-
cinary interest of a few individuals
save the entire disregard Of the day !?
God save the state when patriotism
dies. Where is the much heralded
proud record Of state pride and
patriotism ? Is it lost with the
blighting effect of political rotten
ness which came upon Delaware
with the iniquitous election laws OF
1873? Arouse, celebrate and make
green the memory of the children
now passing into man and woman
hood.

FROM FREDERICA.

The funeral services of Mrs. Jane
Agnes Carlisle, wife Of Paris 7.
Carlisle, were held from her late
residence Sunday afternoon. Her
sudden death on Wednesday was a
great shock to relatives and friends.
During her life she was very fond
of flowers, and as a last tribute of
relatives and friends the parlor
where the body reposed was filled
with the most beautiful flowers.
The grave was also lined with bios
SONS. The services at the home
were conducted by Rev. DR.. Hub
bard, her son-in-law, assisted by
her grandson, Carlisle Hubbard.
Rev. Mr.. Richardson, pastor of the
M. E. Church of which she was
member, conducted the services at
Barratt's Cemetery. The pail bear
ers were her two sons, DR.. Paris T.
Carlisle, DR.. Lester L. Carlisle, her
sons-in-law, Rev. DR.. Hubbard and
Daniel Hirsch, her grandson, Car
Isle Hubbard and nephew, William
Knowles. The choir sang several
touching selections, and large
concourse of friends followed the
body to its last resting place. The
bereaved ones have the sympathy
of the community for their sad loss.
Commencement exercises will be
( helu this Friday evening, June Ist,
IN the town hall. The graduates are
Elsie Wilcutts, Viola Mahoney,
Clarence Harrington add Warren
Patterson. "A good program is be-
ing prepared.
Children Day exercises will be
held the second Sunday in June at
the M. Z. Church. The program
this year is very interesting.
The much hoped for rain came
on Monday, and on Tuesday peo-
pie were seen everywhere, running
around in search of plants to set.
Lima bean, beet and tomato plants
especially were put out.
Memorial Day was observed here
by a closing of business places and
two games of base ball by way of
entertainment. In the morning a
large number of our citizens went
over to Barratt's Cemetery and
placed flowers on the graves of
loved ones and the soldier dead.
Each year more little flags appear
in the graveyard showing that the
soldiers are answering to the last
roll call. The succeeding genera
tions will continue to honor their
memory while time shall last.

Flag Raising.

On Saturday, May 26th, picnic was
held at Pine Grove School House, that
was far beyond the average school cele-
bration of similar character. It was
intended as a Picnic for the school pa
irons and scholars, as well as the friends
of education generally.
As early as o'clock in the afternoon,
there had congregated about four hum
dred persons, representing every phase
of the human family, from the babe in
the mothers arm, to the gray bearded
grAndsire.
They came through sunshine and
heat, and binding fogs of dust, all anx-
ious and eager to see the stars and stripes
emblem Of American Liberty, flung to
the breeze, and hear the speaking. The
first speaker introduced was Mr.. Alex
ander Minner of Bowers, Delaware, who
entertained his audience for little more
than half-an-hour, with an appropriate
speech of well chosen words. His theme
was grand. 1t being the Country Schools
and the American Flag. He handled
his subject, in a manner creditable to
himself and satisfactory to his hearers.
After Mr. Minner the Rev. G. P. Jones
of Milford was introduced.
The Rev. Mr.. Jones spoke about
twenty-five minutes and succeeded in
holding his audience well-nigh spell
bound, notwithstanding the fact that
forty gallons of ice cream and an equal
propagation of cake and other refresh
ments were beckoning the throng table,
ward. To the writer, Mr.. Jones speech
was a literary feast, although it was the
first time he had ever heard him; his
utterauce was clear and distinct, his pc
riods beautifully rendered, his rhetoric
faultless. Everyone who heard him was
more than pleased-they were delighted.
In passing, we would not forget TO
mention that Hon. John w. Causey do
mated the flag pole. It is of red cedar
and will stand as a lasting monument to
his generosity. The honorable gentle
man will please accept the unleigned
thanks of the community for his gift.
And lastly but not least come the ladies
of Milford Neck, for their share of well
deserving praise not fiattery; without
them the whole affair would have been
shrouded in gloom By their indeiatig-
able efforts they made it a grand success.
To them belong the praise. To them
belong the honor and should be re-
creant to my duty and very ungallant, if
l failed to bestow it. Three cheers for
the stars and stripes. Three cheers for
the maids and matrons of Milford Neck.

are kept busy nearly all the time. He
has trade from near AndersOntOwn,
Burrsvile, Smithville, Greenwood and
other places. His store is filled with
dry goods notions, glass and queens.
ware, groceries, provisions, hardware,
furniture, carpets and clothing Some
country merchants are always kicking
about hard times, but if they would do
as this man does by keeping the goods
that the people want and by buying all
kinds of farm products as he does, they
would not complain so much. He
knows that advertising pays.

THE closing exercises OF the Mil
ford Public Schools have been a re-
velation to the many people who
have attended the various sessions
held in Armory Hall this week, and
from those who opposed build
ing the new high school building,
expressions of conviction that the
school is worth all that it has cost
Nthe people, have been frequent. Thus
me and able management have
aonstrated the claims of those
who brought about this splendid
school advantage for Milford. To
the able executive ability and tact
ofD. w. LaRue is the results large
" attributable; but there has been
conscientious hard work by the en-
tire corps of teachers and the mem
bers of the Board of Education.
The schools are not equalled by any
in the State that we know of, and
by few in other states; but let us
never for one moment forget, that
although we may have the best,
there is no reason why we should
not have better in the future, as the
world progresses and we must keep
abreast of it.

GLENDALE.

The farmers of this community are III
had snirits and have the blues right. Ihe
strawberries are almost nothing, what
few the frost left are parched by the con-
timed drough. There are scarcely any
tomato or potato plants. We have a few
nescbes. as most of them have fallen to
the ground. Esquire Ellegood, the largest
grower in this community, declared two
weeks AGO that he would have 5000 bas-
kets. to-day he cannot find single basket
on 5000 trees. There appears to be some
peaches near Lincoln and in certain sec
tions of Slaughter Neck. We have no
apples or pears; and the indications are
that the only crop that will be worth any
thing here is backberries.
The few Episcopaliaus in this commun-
ity feel highly encouraged at the pros
pect of a mission here. They have after
a diIigent effort secured the privileges Of

The highest results of school work
are not the tangible, visible ones, those
