The country, I am thankful to say,
is at peace with all the world. and
many happy manifestations multiply
about US of growing cordiality and
sense Of community of interest among
the nations, foreshadowing an age Of
settled peace and good will More and

bind themselves by solemn treaty to
the processes Of peace, the processes
of frankness and fair concession. So

adherence to the cause of interna-

MILF9RD'S FOURTH OF JULY

The question as to what would be the
leading entertaining affair Of the day of
July 4th was solved for the Milford
people when Master A. C. Howe of Mil
ford Grange announced that that organ
ization would hold an all day picnic and
fair at Millwood Grove. The Milford
baseball organization, which has 10 I
but two games this year. has announced
that their team will play a double-h head
er here. While they have not annour-
ced their opponents. it is more than
likely that it will be Lewes. As in pas t
years, the City Council will absolutely
prohibit the use of fireworks on the
streets. The horse racing loving publ c
will be well supplied with entertainment
by the Derrickson track, which has an
nOunced the best racing program of the
year for that day. Those who enjoy
the seashore are already smaking ar
rangements for launch parties to Cedar,
Slaughter and Bowers Beachs.

his many friends here that he is a good
agrieulturist as well as good preacher.
Early in the spring Rev. Mowbray
planted about a gallCn and a half of
Early Rose potatoes. He commenced
to dig them for his table use this week
and was much pleased at the success of
his crop. On Tuesday, he presented
the writer with some Of the potatoes,
they were fine size, their color was
healthy looking, and as for their taste
it was excellent. Rev. MOwbray states
that from his four rows he will dig pro
badly five or six baskets. Early in the
spring he was made to bear many jokes
his truck patch from his many
friends, but he now has produced the
goods and is having the laugh on them.
He has other vegetables and truck which
looks fine.
