all the Davis family. This is being
done in magnificent style and includes
so many family branches for ten gen.

already covers a roll of paper three feet
wide and forty feet long and shows
more than 1000 persons. 1t is not yet
completed for many names and dates

This chart is arranged in a manner
entirely different from every other

the date Of birth, date of marriage,
name Of wife or husband, date of death
and kinship Of every person in every
generation in every family branch OF
all Davises who are descended from the
above mentioned Thomas Davis and
Judith Bort. 1t also shows the birth
place of each and gives a brief historical
account Of each persons life and work
with many other facts Of interest.
But not only is DR.. Davis making
such chart for the male side Of his
house, but also for the Potter family,
from which he is descended on his
mothers side. To make these two charts

Milford Grange Notes.

At Milford Grange Saturday the
"Growing and Marketing of Spinach"
was the subject taken up by Mr.. Cook.
Mr.. Cook disclaimed any personal
acquaintance with this crop but had
found out what he could from those
who do grow it successfully. 1t can be
planted at different seasons. There are
several varities Of both the summer and
winter sorts. The seed is inexpensive
and from fifteen to twenty pounds are
required per acre. The most common
way lie to broad cast the seed however
some plant in drills and it is then cas-
Ter to keep the weeds down. The ground
should be put in good condition and
made rich with stable manure. Com
mercisl fertilizer not proving sstisfact-
ory with this crop though, nitrate is
used with good results. This should
be pulverized and applied when the
weather is very wet as otherwise it is
likely to spot the leaves. The winter
varieties need but little of any covering
in this climate. The greatest work is
in cutting the crop and is usually paid
for at so much a hamper or half barrel
1t can be cut but once. 1t is more
delicate than kale or turnip tops and
the demand tor it is constantly iacreas-
ing. tits considered especially health
full and is recommended by physicians.
Kale and brussels sprouts are good
crops to grow with spinach. 1t should
be sOwed early enough in the fall to
get wei rooted before freezing weather.
The profit on this crop runs as high as
three hundred dollars per acre when
the season and market are favorable
It is shipped in hampers or half barrels.
Norfolk is noted for the quantity Of
spinach shipped from there. Mr.. J. G.
Howe has raised spinach in Virginia,
but in the mountain district, where it
did not live through tine winter and
they cut and finish shipping by Christ
mas. The price varies at different
seasons going from fifty cents to two
fifty per hamper. For the early spring |
crop SOW seed about December first and |
mulch eighty. Next Saturday new
members will be initiated and it is
hoped all officers will make an effort |
TO pc present.

BOndsmen Fight County

The Chancellor last week issued a
restraining order restraining Sheriff
Stafford and the New Castle COunty
Levy Court from proceeding against
four Of the bondsmen Of Horace g. Ret
tew, former county treasurer and col
lector Of delinquent taxes, who is now
serving a sentence for ENLIGHTENMENT
and who owes the county about SIS, 0OO.
United States Senator Henry A. Du
POnt and James D. Carter, two Of the
bORdsmen, who would not join with
the other in having the proceedings
stayed, are also named as respondents
in the bill.
The trouble grew out Of the shortage
of Mr.. Rettew and the claim Of William
r. Finn, Charles M. Smith, Robert w.
Tadman and George A. Elliott is that
they are not responsible for the short
age as their liability as bnndsmen
ceased when Rettew's term Of county
treasurer expired.
The county on the other hand claims
that the bondsmen are responsible
until final settlement has been made.
The order is returnable December 10
and prevents the officials making any
effort to collect the money until the
Chancellor decides their liability under
the bond,

FINE entertainments
FOR INSTITUTE WEEK

The evening entertainments for the
coming session of the Sussex County
Teachers Institute will be without
doubt the finest series ever given on
any similar occasion in Milford.
On Monday evening, November 25th,
DR.. F.B. Mcdowell will give his famous
illustrated lecture on the Panama Canal
This will be something wholly new and
novel and different from anything ever
given in Milford.
On Tuesday evening, November Goth,
we will have the Boston Concert Com
pany, one Of the most famous organiza.
tions of this kind in the United States.
On Wednesday evening, November
9th, we will have the Royal Gypsy
Concert Company consisting Of ten
members. Nothing to equal this has
ever been seen in Milford.
The Milford public has always patrO'
nized these entertainments literally.
We confidently await their verdict on
the coming series.
