u better or one year worse than we were a
s this time last year. Which? AS usual
the New Year was ushered in, at Milton
with the ringing of the church bells anC
the firing of many guns. A watch nigh
service was held at the NJ. P. Church
r from l03O o'clock until after midnight
2 During the firing of tie guns someone
standing near the NJ. P. Church fred &
load of shot into Mrs. Elizabeth Con well':
house. The load went through near the
middle window of the second story, and
the shot scattered under the bed on
which Mrs. Conwell was lying This
was a random shot and careless, as no
one wishes to hurt Mrs. Conwell.
John Crouch celebrated the anniver-
sary of his 56th birthday on New Years
Day. A twenty-five pound turkey was
butchered for the occasion and q chill
dren and grandchildren did not leave
much of it when they had finished their
dinner. Mr.. Crouch was the recipient of
many presents, among which was hand
some gold watch.
The Milton Electric Light Company
turned on the remainder of the lights on
New Years evening and an owl or some
carnivorous animal held a feast on Lavinia
street on fat chicken, commemorative
OF the event. The bones of the fowl were
nicely picked and the feathers distributed
under the wild cherry tree and along the
sidewalk near by.
Apropos of the electric lights, as they
are all supposed to be now up. The
distribution is unequal From the corner
of Wharton and Federal streets there is
no light until opposite Poplar street.
The intervening space is dark, made so
by shade trees, and there should be
another light between. As it now is the
space is darker with the lights at each
end OF it than it would be without any.
There is also much complaint from the i
unequal distribution on other streets. :
