We enter upon 1911 with glowing hopes and ex-
ubeTant anhsipaiions Of a bright future but the end
acne may know We have nothing but good to
chronicle Of the old year. many Of US have been
blessed beyond our dreams few, in Milton, have
but liule Of which complain. During the year
have endeavoIed to keep pace with the doings
Of the town. and consider it useless to summarize
At present The old year disappeared very quietly,
and without any noise Of the elements. The new
one was ushered in amid the ringing Of bells and
6Ting Of guns and other herady Of enthusiasm and
eelat The temperature Of the day was normal
throughout with rain in the afternoon. The church,
going people, and many who are not in the habit Of
attending church assembled themselves in the two
Methodist churches in the morning, to listen to the
sermons Of their respective pastors and to give
thanks for the blessings Of the past year. Many Of
them, doubt, turned over "A new leaf" Others

ing already adopted the principle Of Count Leo Toll
Btoi the late Russian reformer, to live better each
approaching day than we have during the past one.

Notwithstanding the Indifferent service Milton
has been receiving from the Georgetown Electric
Light Plant Town Council has contracted with that
company for another three years service at sixty
i've cents month per light. There are now thirty
three lights the streets, and is agreed that
anteen more be put in. Il the Georgetown Plant
cannot light thiy-three lights satisfactorily can it
light fifty satsactorlyp the general cry Of the
populuce, that the lights their best are poor. And
on many public occasions notably on Christmas
Ewes, the lights go out. We understand this is
done Intentionally, the Georgetown merchants
put more lights at this time and as the plant can
not do service to so many Milton is cut off, Well. }
we commend the plan, for this Always give your
own town the advantage If any one is to blame for
he new contract, it is the Milton Town Council.
