IT does not cost so very much to
own home in Milford. Lots, splen-
didly located and of ample size.
can be purchased for little money
while building lots sell at less than
value. Building material is as rea-
sonable here as at other points.
Able architects and contractors are
ready to satisfy every demand, hence
to own home is within the range
OF possibility, no matter how meager
the salary or limited the means If
a man is honest, upright, and dis
plays a willingness to help himself,
there are people here, many, who
will give him whatever help is
needed, so long as it be within the |
bounds of reason.

THE name of our town stands for
a picture in the minds of all who
have fingered even for a few leeting
days within the charm of its WOO
ing beauty. It stands not alone as
a pleasant picture, but as the future
ideal to its own loyal citizens. It
is unique among its sisters in this
county as an ideal town of homes,
even as the county is unique for its
wealth, fertility and manifold attrac-
tions.

FARMERS as a rule are kind
hearted and sympathetic and abuse
of the beasts Of burden is something
rarely witnessed in the country. In
the towns are often seen horses,
after being driven, tied to a post,
exposed to flies, storms, and cruelty
neglected. Societies exist for the
prevention of cruelty to animals in
one form or another and the duty of
the village police is to house and care
for neglected animals. Our town
has ample stabling accommodations
and mercy and good care bestowed
upon the dumb brutes brings rich
returns.

THE meeting Of the Republican
State Central Committee, called for
Monday at Rehoboth, was not well
attended intact, there was not a
quorum present at any one time.
Those attending have refused to
give any information, other than
the statement that it was the quar-
terly meeting time for the committee.
The question was asked pointedly.
II any attempt was being made to
make the party in any way take an
active effort for or against prohibi-
ton, and each member emphaticallv
denied any intention to take a posi- /
ton of that character.

Why is it that no one wants to
live in the country anymore Cities
are full Of people who live from
hand to mouth, " and whose total
wealth is represented by the clothes
they have on. Years go by and
these persons never have a home.
They lose that independence that
the proud owner of farm has. If
there is one needed reform it is to
keep people on farms and away from
cities.

Circus Folk Hard Workers.

The amount of physical work done
by the performers of the circus is
scarcely believable. These people make
the care of their bodies their religion
and they will do nothing that mill
tates against their strength or their
health. When the performers rise in
the morning they hurry to the cook
tent for breakfast. Then they must
get into their trappings for the parade,
failure to report at 1890 involving a
fine of So. If the big tent is up early
the chances are that the arena will be
filled with performers practicing for
an hour before the parade After the
street display the performers have
their dinner, and then they must dress
for the grand entree. from which none
is excused. Only Il very few of the
circus folk escape with single act.
Nearly all OF them do two and most of
them three acts. for each OF which
they must change their costume. A
