MILTON CITIZENS
AFTER POSTMASTERSHIP
Successor To VIM. WeIch. Prothona-
tory Elect, Chosen For Schools.
Several Marriages.

Since our last communication there
have been many events happened. Some
of which are not pertinent to relate.
others may be made the subject of legi-
innate news, of the latter we shall deal:
Matters are remarkably quiet since the
election, as it should be. What has
never been known before, in our know
ledge, was a return day returned -
as It was advertised. The regular RE
turn Day" held from time immemorial,
at Georgetown, on the first Thursday
after the general election was duly
held; but so sanguine is the victorious
DartV that a second Return Day" or
Return Day returned" was held on
last Thursday; and, as it is related, a
better time was had than on the first
Return Day." The battle has now
been over long enough for matters to
become passitied and things to r, sumo
their statusqUo. We expect, in a few
weeks, TO see the high cost Of living
reduced to the normal whatever that
may be. 1t is thought that, whe then
new administration comes into power,
the choicest cuts of beef steak will be
bough : fur eight cents per pound, and
other cuts at a similarly low figure
down to as low as three cents a pound(?).
Have they not promised as much 1t
1t is understood there are fourteen ap-
plicants for the Milton post Office, with
more to hear from. 1t is an Office worth
81, 100000 a year with Office rent paid,
coal, lights and all other expenses borne
by the department. 1t is, however,
safe to say that some of the present
candidates will be disappointed, as is
always the case We find also, that in
Ia, 10, ha.
distributed in the county, candidates
for the United States Senate are bios
soming as the roses Of early spring.
We do not know Of any from Milton, or
hereabOuts, but supposed candidates
from nearby towns are making US fire.
quent visits; perhaps they have their
eyes on something. o. the woods is

In making the alteration in the streets
corner Front and Federal, it became /
necessary to move some of the tele-
phone and electric light poles. This
has been done, and it must be admitted
the change is much better, and the APP
Dearance of the streets is more beauu-
fu than heretofore.
