Our TOwn-A Pull Together.

There is no room for doubt but
that our town, with the united ef-
forts of its enterprising citizens,
can greatly increase its business
and enhance the value of property.
Everything indicates a forward
movement. The high standard of
morality that exists is inducing
many to look this way with view
of locating. Our excellent schools
is a feature greatly appreciated by
the best people of this section, and
are proving attractive features. As
trading and shipping point our
town is already ahead of any place
in the county or this section Of
country. No place in the two
counties receive better shipments
of merchandise or sends ont more
live stock and grain. Our business
houses are sadly in need ofrebuild-
ing into beautiful blocks, but the
residences Of Milford are modern
dwellings and cottages.
Now as many are thinking and
talking of coming thither to locate,
let all give them words of encour-
agement and hearty welcome to
this goodly land of peace and
abundance. Encourage those who
are worthy whether they have cap
ital OF not. Labor is worth money.
Those who have money will buy
lots, build houses or remodel old ,
ones. Let us work and stimulate
every legitimate enterprise by Civ :
ing it all the friendly encourage :
ment we can, and unite our indus g,
try, intelligence and capital in
common cause for the good OF our d,
town. Let US cultivate a public
spirit and talk less and work more. =
Encourage our local authorities in :
Improvements. Speak up,
speak well, talk encouraginglv Of >
our town and its bright prospects !,
It is these many little considera-
tions that makes a town grow :,
Nature has showered upon us her
choicest blessings, and with per .
feet unity and effort for the good Of !
our common cause, great will be :,
the result. =

IN all parts Of Delaware the peo-
pie are awakening to the necessity
for labor saving where ever it can
be accomplished, and the farmer is
applying the idea practically to
hauling as we'll as to other branches
of work. From the middle part of
Kent county farmers have utilized
traction engines to haul the pea
crop to the threshers; one engine
drawing as many as four wagons
loaded with peas as cut from the
field. Road work is the next i'm
portant branch OF work for this idea
to be effective in, and with the scar
city of labor to do the necessary
work on every farm, it is absolute
Iy necessary that ideas Of this char
acter shall be brought into practi-
,al use. It is done successfully in
hauling stone for the public roads,
n New Castle County, it is a pratt
al working success for drawing
rang plows in the vicinity of
smyrna, as the writer witnessed
ast Spring in field near Clayton,
where the land was turned in a few
lours by this power for the corn
rop now growing. The day for
land work and old-time methods is /
apidly passing here in Delaware,
nd with the incoming labor saving
lethods, new and more profitable
"a Of farming will follow.

Our Schools

While this paper has always been
a warm friend to the schools Of our
town, it intends to take a deeper in
terest in them during the ensuing
year. We believe it is the duty of
every citizen to take live interest
in our schools. During the years
that are past scores of diplomas
have been handed out as class after
class of our young people have
stepped out Of school life into life's
school, Would that we could in this
issue Of our paper place before its
readers the familiar face of each and
every one, but such is among the
impossibilities, for Grim Death on
his white horse has thinned the
ranks, and as Death loves a shin

phere which seemed to permeate the
schools of our little city which stays
by one through life. Our school life
is indeed the golden link that binds
youth to age, and he is still but a
a child, however time may have
furrowed his cheek or silvered his
brow who can not yet recall, with a
softened heart, the happy school
days passed in this city.
If it is true that Sussex County
owes twenty-three hundred dollars
to the New Castle County Work
House for the keeping of prisoners,
and we have seen no denial of the
statement from any source, there IS
certainly some poor fnanciering
being done by the Levy Court Of
Sussex County, which will result
in sudden jar from the people at
the next election. There is no
excuse for owing a sum Of that
magnitude, or Of any other, by
county as rich as Sussex but the
plain facts must be acknowledged,
that there has been bad fnancier-
ing, OF that the men composing the
Levy Court are not capable Of
managing the county affairs. There
is very bad odour about a condi-
ton of this character, which is
Notifying to the people. We think
it was four years ago when bill
was presented to the Legislature,
which had for its object, the setting
back Of the date for discounting
county taxes at five per cent. from
July to October, and at that time, {
as a tax payer Of Sussex, we OBJ
jected to the enactment of the bill ]
for the reason, that it practically
set back for two months the receipt '
1f taxes badly needed earlier in the d
summer to pay bills with; and, we b
suspect that the present conditions I
ire largely brought about by the L
operation Of the law. We know !
hat Sussex County is not a bank
upt; neither is she unable to pay d
Ter bills from the money at present s.
aised by taxation; but, the money "
5 not available, and the old waste ri
al methods of working the roads, III
.eeps the treasury drained bare. p
cor several years the same condi- m
ions have been cropping up, and
o unpleasant has the situation IN
ecome, that to enter into explana-
ions ceases to be a virtue, and we as
re willing to call things by their m
ight name, and let those response We
lie take the consequences. 1t is W,
iortifying indeed to have to hear
he charge Of incompetency to
overn, Of lack of business acumen, Tel
f Poor Old Sussex, and similar
isparaging comments, when there to-
no truth in one Of them. Sussex
ounty is as well equipped to gov q,
n, as well capable Of home rule, =,
nd as well able financially as any an
the three counties composing the WI
tate Of Delaware; but, uufortuna- th'
ly, there appears to have crept for
to the most important and respon- y
bic branch of all county govern Nd
