MILFORD'S CHRISTMAS
DANCE APRETTY AFFAIR

The ArmOry Hall WAS the scene Of
one Of the prettiest aud most enjoyable
dances ever given by the young men
OF Milford. The hall was decorated by
having long streamers Of laurel rope
drop from the center Of the ceiling TO
thelwslls. Others pieces Of laurel rope
were draped in other directions around
the main streamers, while at the in-
tersection Of each piece Of the green
large red bell was placed. The stage
was banked with eveTgreeDs just high
enough for the musicians TO see well.
The decorations, coupled with the
pretty beautiful dresses worn by the
ladies present, made. a very beautiful
sight. Music for the dance was fur
nished By J 6 Ehiott's Orchestra, and
was well liked by all present. While
a large crowd OF dancers were in at
tendance at the dance, it is very pro-
bable that had the evening been elesr
instead OF a rainy disagreeable one,
record breaking attendance would be
recorded.
Credit for the affair is due to James
Salevan and Casper Pierce who gave
their time and efforts to make the
dance the success that it was.

FEW OYSTERS FROM MISPILLION.

Whether the oysters have all been
taken from the natural beds in the
Mispillion river, only the men who
follow oysterng are able to answer,
but it is a fact that bay oysters from Il
Bowers Beach have been supplying
the local market in Milford for several
weeks past. II there was a real etfcrt
to have the oyster laws carried into
effect, there IL no one who doubts but
wnat there is an amply supply TOR Mil
ford and vicinity for the people The
oys,ermen are their own enemies, and
they seem too cOwardly to have the
law enforced. IL it because they Will
feel the halter tighten about them
selves? The Mispillion oyster is just
little bit the finest favored oyster
that grows, aud it's a pity to have our
own market shortened.

GROWERS DRAW Their
SWEET POTATO MONEY

The growers Ofsweet potatoes who re-
side in the belt OF Kent County be
tween Harrington and Viola, and east
ward towards Frederica, have struck
il rich in sweet potatoes this season.
They had very good crops, and at
digging time the pri,e- tempted most
growers to sell for the 30 cents, per
haskell offered, which is equivelent 10
about 80 cents per sushel from the
tubers from the field. But in the dis
trict reft rred to the growers are
equipped with large storage houses ana
disregarding the tempting prices, they
put their crop into storage, and just oe
fore Christmas they have shipped
scores Of car lods from Harrington,
FELTON,, Viola aud by the steamboats,
from Milford and Frederick, for which
thev have received clear Of all expenses
from 81. lOto$ .25 per bushel. Atthese
prices sweet potatoes are paying the
growers over 500 per acre for each
acre grown. The story as told in the
State News last week, clearly illus
trates what is being done by Delaware
sweet potatoe growers, and it is as
follows.
Fortunes in sweet potatoes are being
realized this month in central Della
ware. FELTON, and Harrington are the
principal shipping stations, but at
FELTON, in particular has this one crop
paid mortgages and transformed over
drafts into fiue bank balances.
Sweet potatoes flourish most IN dry
wear. After they are harvested and
housed in the Fail, however, tie
problem Of shipping them In midwinter
Is a serious one rs they are susceptible
to frest, even the lighIest touches
This year, therefore, the farmers Oi
Paradise Alley, two miles southeast OF
FELTON,, have raised bumper crops OF
fine sweet potatoes. They housed them
and then hoped and trusted. The past
ten days Of 'Open weather. has given
them their opportunity. Refrigerator
cars which secure them against freez
ing tenn perature make them safe after
they are delivered, uufrCzen out OF
the wagons.
The result is that FELTON, buyers have
been able to supply demands rs far
West as the DAkotas and inhabitants
OF the Northwest will enjoy q d. G
winter vegetable. In a week at least
forty carloads Of sweet potatoes have
been loaded at FELTON, where Former
Senator A. b. Conner looks after the
shipping for the railroad company.
The farmers relaizs $1O5 hamper
(about bu-hel)
Among those growers who have
"struck it rich" in sweet potatoes are
William A Lane, George E. Hill h.
A. Kent, }. w. Knapp, ArmOr Quillen,
William J Simpson, Charles Sipple
George w. Scott, Charles J DhnsOn.
