ALUMNI MEETING

The Alumni meeting which was held
last Friday, at the home of the presi-
dent was we'll attended and proved of
interest to all. After the reading of the
minutes by Miss Elizabeth Aldred, the
newly appointed secretary the old busi-
ness of altering the constitution was
brought before the association. 1t was
decided that the committee chosen for
that purpose meet before the next
monthly meeting and so amend the old
constitution, that all persons gradual
ing from the Milford School prior to
1902 (the year of consolidation of the
North and South Milford Schools) be
granted the privilege of becoming mem
bers, and that all teachers of the Mil
ford Public School be considered of the
association. Plans for entertainment
were then discussed with the following
results first, the Thanksgiving play is
assured but full particulars cannot be
given until the next meeting, when
further communications will have been
received from Mr.. de Silva, the trainer
whose American Girl" met with such
in Milford last year. Second,
a course of entertainment, similar to
that formerly given in connection with
the Teacher Institute was proposed and
will be further considered at the next
However the association now
hopes to present this attraction to the
public sometime after the holidays.

by the citizens of Milford and adjacent
towns who are interested in the work
of the farmers in lower Delaware. The
fair this year promises to be more in
teresting, as there will surely be more

aroused in the farmers to participate in
the event. At the meeting held Satur-

SCHOOL PATRONS TAKE NOTICE.

On Monday October 14th, the reports
of the first months work in the Milford
Schools will be issued. Parents are
earnestly requested to examine these
cards with care before signing them.
Whenever a pupil falls below seventy
five per cent he has failed, whenever he
has made less than eighty per cent his
work has not been satisfactory for the
first month of the school year. These
cards give the teachers best judgment
regarding the pupils work. A talk with
the teacher or principal can not give so
much accurate information about a
pupils work as may be obtained from
the intelligent reading of these cards.
Parents should note that now is the
time to get interested in the children's
school work. Agony in the middle of
the school year or at its close is useless.
If children are keep at work now every
pupil who is mentally fitted for advanced
work, will surely be promoted in June.

GROWING PEANUTS.

Real estate Broker, Charles NJ. Ham
mond, as an experiment this year plant
ed about one fourth of an acre of pea
nuts. There is about 1000 hills in the
patch and the grower states that had
weather conditions been favorable that
he would have gathered from each hill
at least a peck of the nuts, thus max
ing the yield for the entire patch $50
bushels. He has had some of the nuts
on exhibition in front of Smith and
Ramsey this week and they are equally
as large as the average peanut and look
in every respects as good as peanuts
which we receive here from southern
markets. Mr.. Hammond sees no rea-
son why they could not be grown here
with profit.
