The Missionary Institute, held last
week in the Avenue Methodist Episcopal
Church, as regards speakers and practical
talks, was success, but the missionary
work in the Hundred will not be a sue
cess until every man, woman and child is
engaged in missionary work. Rev. H.
L. Bunstein addressed the Institute on
Missionary Education. He said in
part: Have visits from missionaries;
superintendents and teachers relate facts;
read biographies of missionaries, such as
Livingstone" Rev w. X. Mowbray
said: Write to Rev Samuel d. Price,
1416 Mallers Building, Chicago, ILL.,, and
he will send full explanation of plan to
utilize all old lesson helps, picture cards,
in fact, all material used in the Sunday
School. The missionaries are asking for
them as they are much needed in their
work. Post cards and pictures cut from
old papers also can be used. Rev. L.
A. Bennett said that The World in Balti
more is a great educator as regards the
christian sdutv toward his foreign brother
Rev. f. H. ]. Andrews, in very in
structive speech, told how their Church

Kelley thought there is great need of
home missionary work, as not one-half of
the children of Milford Hundred are in
Sunday School Rev. T E. Davis thought
it wise for the schools at Christmas to
have a giving service for the children.
Mr. B. F. B. Woodall said they had been
doing this for many years. Rev. Davis
also said, in every progressive school
there is a missionary spirit.
Rev l. S. Whitaker closed the discus
sion by the pastors with round table of
practical questions on missions, and Mrs.
Sallie r. Davis closed the exercises of the
day with demonstration by her class of
bright boys and girls, whose missionary
text was God so loved the world that
He gave His only begotten Son that who
soever believeth in Him should not per-
ish, bnt have everlasting life.

LADY KILLS HAWK.

Mrs. Samuel Milman, wife of promi-
nent farmer in Slaughter Neck, had a
very novel experience last Friday after
noon. The lady has pet rooster which
she values very much, and which is
known locally for its fighting prowess.
She was busy getting the evening meal
for her husband and a party Of city
guests who are hunting in Delaware,
when she noticed a large hen hawk
swoop down upon her pet. Strange as
it may seem, the rooster showed fight,
and a battle took place in the barn yard.
Mrs. Milman picked up a broom and
went to the aid of her fowl. The birds
were so much interested in their fight
that they did not notice the presence of
Mrs. Milman, who killed the hawk with
her broom. She Immediately dressed
the bird, which is fine eating, and pre-
pared it for her guests supper when
they arrived.

SPRING.LIKE WEATHER.

During the past few days Milford has
been enjoying spring like weather. The
cold weather of few weeks ago, when
snow and ice was the order, is now re-
placed by weather more on the order of
late spring. Dandelions, daisys and
roses are to be seen in blossom in many
of the flower gardens and lawns in and
about Milford. This is indeed a rare
thing for this section of the country.
The weather has been so that many per
sons have been enjoying the pleasures of
having their windows and doors thrown
open as they do in the summer time.
Many persons believe that Milford is far
north, but an examination of their maps
will show them that we are further
south than Washington.

CHARGED WITH CRUELTY.

A case was heard last Friday before
Justice of the Peace Ira w. Joseph,
brought against GoldsborOugh Isaacs, a
local liveryman, by agent Frank Stout
charging him with cruelty to animals, in
not providing proper food for his horse.
There were 8 witness summoned in the
case, and the defendant was discharg-
ed, the evidence not being sufficient
to sustain the action. This is the first
case for cruelty to animals that has
been brougt in Milford in some years,
and those who make habit of abusing
dumb animals had better take notice
for there is a disposition on the part of
several citizens to bring all offenders
in this particular to justice.
