unfit for use and il. adequate for pro-
lection from fire, the city had a
right, after the company had rea-
sonable time to comply with it's
contract to supply pure aud suf
hcient water, to treat the contract
as terminated and TO invoke the sid
of court of equity for its RECESSION
and this decision has been upheld
by various state courts.
It seems that a recision cannot
therefore be made unless a rea on
able notice has been given grantee
to comply with the provisions of
the provisions of the ordinances
showing specifically where defect
and noncompliance of the franchise
exists and giving grautee a reason
able opportunity to fulfil his part
OF the contract. AS to what con-
stitutes forfeitnte is question
which court must decide. The
second step after giving notice and
reasonable time has elapst, the
grantee not having complied with
the notice, is to pass an ordinance
repeating the franchise and when
this is done to petition a court of
equity to declare forfeiture, as a
city council cannot repeal an or
dlnance and treat as forfeited. A
court must declare it forfeited.

GREENWOOD.

| Miss Nellie Cahall, of Greenwood, died
in Baltimore on Friday, Jan. 4, 1907,
aged % years. While undergoing an
operation for appendicitis, Nellie was a
du,iiul daughter, a loving sister and a
kind and helpful friend at all. 1t is sad
indeed to see her cut down in the bios
soming of wOmanhood But we may
rest assured our loss is Heavens eternal
gain. Funeral services were held on
Sunday, Jan. q, 1907, at the NJ. L. Church
where she was CONSTANT member,
a faithful Sunday School teacher and an
ardent worker in the Junior League. We
shall miss the beautiful voice that poured
forth songs from her lips and from her
heart. Many beautiful floral emblema
were presented by her many friends as a
token of esteem. Interment at Holly
wood Cemetery, Harrington.
A TRIBUTE OF LOVE.
Tis hard to part with you, dear Nellie,
For you were so kind and true;
None can ever fill your place
And we all shall so miss you.
But while your cold in death
And you no more we shall see;
We will patiently wait until
God shall call us to be with thee.
Asleep in Jesus is a blessed thought,
For life is but a dream;
We think we see the gate opened wide,
And you have just entered in.
Asleep in Jesus and rest in peace,
For life's short journey is DER.
We hope to meet you again
On that beautiful shining shore.

On Saturday evening last r.Will Ham
mond had his horse and carriage stolen
from post in front of John Prettyman's
store. Immediate efforts were made to
trace the them, and it was located on
Monday at the farm of John Smith, near
Bridgeville. The animal seemed consid-
erably iadded, but otherwise uninjured.
No clue as to the guilty person has yet
been ascertained.
Mr.. Millman, who lost his pension
check of $24 some time just before Christ
mas, has been made happy by the return
of the same. He at once advertised it in

from the church to the parsonage Mr..
Coursey became separated from Mr.. Tay-
Tor; and az the latter stepped upon the
parsonage porch, eggs commenced flying
at him. The door being locked, and Mr..
Taylor finding himself good target for
the eggs, jumped over the porch baristers
and retreated to the back yard. One egg
is said to have hit him. and the next
morning the front of the parsonage and
the porch were besmeared with that
delicacy.
This is deplorable occurrence for the
town, and we are sorry it has happened.
On Tuesday morning excitement ran
high, yet almost every one, while eX-
pressing the opinion that the provocation
deserved the remedy, deplored the act as
injurious to the fair fame OF the town II
persons do not wish to hear Mr.. Taylor,
they are not obliged to do so. Mr.. Tay-
Tor is reported as saying on his talk at
church on Tuesday evening, he was
over with eggs, and would give
one hundred dollars to know who did it.

MILTON NEWS.

In all cases Of initiation or stimuli there
must be a corresponding depression or
reaction. Such now confronts Milton.
The excitement of the holidays is over,
the visitors who have made life gay, are
gone, and a quietness, not unlike the
Solitude of the Arctic" has settled over
the town. Occasionally, however, little
breeze spurts up, and the ennui is re-
lieved. Altogether. we are happy and
cOntented, and looking on the optomistic

1t would appear that some people like
the efIlurium of ordure. Our thoughts
are drawn to this matter by the quantity
of that material that has been thrown
around the yards and on the lawns of
many Of the front yards in town. Per-
haps this is intended as a fertilizer or a
protection to the grass, or both; but the
perfume, when first thrown out, is by no
means agreeable to many olfactories.
