CHICKEN THIEVES.

1t seems that the thieves OF this
leighbOrhOOd were undaunted by the
rapid manner in which the robbers Of
The Topping jewelTy store were captured
and sent TO Dover Jail to await the
aext term Of court. Last Tuesday night
chicken thieves broke into the henery
connected with Stewards grocery store
On West Front Street, North Milford,
and took most Of the chickens there in.
About eight were left the owner, The
authorities are investigating the matter,
and IT is hoped that the thieves will be
rounded up in time for the next term
Of court at which time they should be
a good lengthy term as we'll as have
their backs whipped.

SLEET CAUSES SLIPPERY PAVEMENTS.

The sleet storm which visited this
section last Sunday night caused much
Inconvenience on Monday morning to
those who where compelled to be about.
All day Monday a cold rain, which
froze almost as fast as it fell, made the
pavements still worse. On Tuesday
morning they were again frozen up,
but before the day was over had been
cleared to some extent. Many persons
received falls on the ice, but no serious
result there from. The TOade aboutthe
country are now filled with ice and
water and travel is very bad.

Department, with the members OF the
Light and Wafer Commission and the
Town Council, were guests Of Mr.. Frank
Richards at bsbauet served at the
restaurant OF Mrs. Carrie Viereck. on
y. Walnut Street, Milford. The writer

The banquet was delightful surprise in
its sumptuousness, and MIS-. Viereck
may we'll be proud Of the service and
menu set before the firemen and their

SteWed Oysters. Oyster Cocktails.
Hot Roast Turkey with oyster dressing
Cold Roast Pork. Potato Salad.
Chicken Coquettes
Potatoes. Cold Slsw. Olives.
cranberry Sauce, Coffee. Tea.
Cakes. Ice Cream
To all Of this the firemen did as ef-
tective service as they did at fighting
the flames just across the street only a
Few weeks ago. Probably the very
Aappiest result Of this banquet is the
apparent better understanding existing
Between all parties involved, and judg-
ing from the remarks made by the

the President Of the Light and Water
Commission, William A. Humes, and
the members Of the two bodies, there
will result a fund which will provide

pose to have the town and the Light
and Water authorities appropriate q
certain amount as q foundation, and
shen personal subscriptions will be
asked for the fund. Then there will
be effort to add to It by way Of enter.

Good Roads
Proposition
Mr.. Editor.

Mr.. Editor
A correspondent in
recent issue of the Democrat,
wants to know II the proposition
to issue road bonds shall carry.
will each Of the civil districts re-
ceive an equal amount Of proceeds
of the sale of bonds Assuming
that each civil district has the
same number of miles of road and
the same character Of roads, the
question can be answered in the
affirmative. However, this is not
the case, and the question has to
be answered in the negative. The
| fund il TO be distributed TO the
roads according 10 their Import
ance to the people who use the
roads TO illustrate: it is about
seven miles from the court house
to the Giles County line. The
9Th civil district will only get
about II mile and a half of this
road and The ninth district the re-
mainder The Lawrenceburg and
PULASKI road is the same Class
! from the corporation line TO the
Giles County line, and it follows,
that 80 far an this particular road
is concerned the 9th district will
; get 2 or 3 times as much money
as the 9Th district. And this
is the case with all the roads that
are in thA 5th district. All the
districts that have roads that lead
to Lawrencebnrg will get more o.
the road fund than Lawrenceburg
provided of course, that such
roads are of the same class, The
arrangement is much more tqui
1 | tab e and just than if we should
r andeElake 10 distribute the roaC
fuud any other way suppos'
that We distribute the fluid to The
P several civil DISTRICTS aGcoEdIng tt
population or the taxts paid b!
Ihs people of such DISTRICTS II
: that event. the eth district wopIt
get three or four times as mnel
as it would get under The presen
arrangement, and other district
: which have more roads to b.
worked would receive much les
=. than nnder the present arrange
: ment.
