IN these days Of strife between
TWO great political parties we must
remember that after all we are just
a band of brothers here on earth,
travelling from the cradle to the
grave. We live side by side, our
children attend the same school and
after the smoke Of the battle has
cleared away, we will still be friends
and neighbors. Let the bitter
things go unsaid. At best, life is
short, and we get out Of it full
measure of sorrow. Let us in Mil
ford live as one big, good natured
family.

THE editor OF this paper would
be the last man on earth to know
ingly say a word to hurt the feel
ings Of any of its subscribers orciti-
zens, especially at a time when the
dark winged messenger Of death
has brought sorrows to the home,
but from the best of motives we de-
sire to call the attention Of our
readers to the custom ofpublishing
cards of thanks. 1t is a custom
that has outgrown its purpose, if it
ever had one. When sickness and
death comes to your home it is
only natural that your friends and
neighbors should do what they
could to assist you. They would
be heathens if they did not They
know from the expression Of your
face that you are thankful and
deeply appreciate all they do, and
il is not necessary to rush into
print and tell the world that your
neighbors were kind when you
were in trouble. The reading pub
lie are becoming tired Of the old
stereotyped "card of3thanks. " You
can express to your friends, by
look or word your thankfullness in /
a more impressive manner than you
can in a column of cold type.

HOUSES are scarce in Milford
and hardly a week passes but what
there are applicants for a number
of tenant houses. The town loses
a number of good families each
year who would like to locate here
if they could find the houses. Those
who have the means to do so would
find the erection of a number of
tenant houses a good paying invest
ment.

by someone b get O bottle Of whisky

not to perform the errand and they
obeyed him. whereupon the bartender
waxed wroth.
What right have you to butt In

pastor. with great positiveness. These
are my Sunday school boys and I am
going to look after them"
you let them alone" commanded
Lechantz. but the reverend gentleman
again ad!ured the boys not to delived

received some painful bruises.
