MILFORD NAN AWARDED CONTRACT.

\, The Levy Court of Kent County has
awarded to Leonard Abbott. a bridge
contractor of Milford, the contract to
build 70 foot iron and concrete bridge
on the causeway at Gum Island, near
Pennington, Kent County, and also to
install two culverts. There were several
competitors for the award but the job
was given Mr.. Abbott, his bid being
S2165. As soon as the materials can be
placed there the work of construction
will be started and pushed to completion
as rapidly as good workmanship will al
low. Mr.. Abbott has had a wide expert
ence in this line of work, and the Levy
Court of Kent County is to be congratu-
lated upon thus making the award, for
nothing will be left undone to make the
job credit to Mr.. Abbott and to the
county. The drawings and specifica-
tions for this structure and the culverts
were made by Charles G. Fisher, civil
engineer and designer, of this town.

AGITATlNG SANE FOURTH.

Already the city papers are agitating
the observance of our National Indepen-
dence in a sane manner, which no doubt,
though only promulgated during the past
two or three years, has done a great
deal toward educating the people in the
direction of a proper observance of this
day. At this time it seems proper, as
the Fourth is fast approaching. to call
attention to the fact that the Fourth is
now observed in a very different way
from what it has been during the ten
years Just past, and also that we as
citizens of Milford do all we can to see
that whatever observance there may be
here, is in harmony with the idea of "a
sane Fourth. " 1t is not an occasion of
sadness, but a times when we should
be glad and express ourselves in patri-
otic song and speeches, and enjoy our
selves in a way that will not put the
lives of ourselves and others in positive
danger. Proper notice concerning the
use of explosives in the town limits on
theFourth will probably be given through
the paper and by cards posted at various
places through the town.

HEAVY SHIPMENT OF BERRIES

This week there has probably been
the heaviest shipment of berries on this
peninsula that there has been for many
years. On Wednesday of this week,
one train passed through Milford from
points down the road with "A refrigera-
tor cars all filled with berries, and
other trains passing through the same
day will probably make the shipment
total for that one day alone about $50
loaded cars of this fruit. The berries
through this section are not only plenti-
full but are not exceptionally fine.
Through Bridgeville and Selbyville two
of the strongest berry sections in Sus-
sex County about 5000, 10000 is realized
each week from their shipments, thus
putting a great sum of money in cir
culation through lower Sussex that
should have a wholesome effect on the
business of those sections of the county.
Many pickers from this part Of the
county are at these places and report
that they are realizing more than in
former years on account of the extra
size of the fruit.
