The Friday before Easter has beer
held scared to the memory of the Cruel
fixion of the Savior from the earliest
days of the Christian era. The historian
Eusebus, writing in the early part of
the 4th century. says that long before
his time Good Friday had been observed
with watching and fasting. The En-
peror Constantine made it a general day
of rest. The name Good Friday" is
peculiar to the Church of England. In
early Christian writings it is spoken of
as the tPaschal Day. Later, variously,
as The Day of Preparation, " The
Day of our Lord's Passion, and THE
Day of Absolution. In the early Eng
lish Church it was called Long Friday" :"
1t has always been observed by Chris
tian people with strict abstinence and
humiliation. All are cordially invited to
attend the services at Christ Church on
Good Friday, as follows 1920 a. m,
Morning Prayer, Litany and Ante-Com-
II to 3, The Three Hours,

FINE BUTTER MADE IN FREDERICK.

HThe manufacture of butter at the
creamery which was established in
Frederica last year by the people o.
that town and vicinity. has resulted in
the producing a high class article in the
butter line. The business is growing,
and the farmers are taking more to the
creamery for disposing of their milk as
the months go by. The results are
more than satisfactory to those who
have talked on the subject. Fred Hon
kins, the recent County Treasurer for
Kent County is enthusiastic over the
monthly returns from his milk. Charles
Postles, another ex-membero of the Levy
Bourt for that county, reports that he
is satisfied that the creamery is a money
maker for him. A sample of the butter
produced at this creamery was presen-
ted to the writer, and it certainly was
well favored, handsome appearing and
fragrant pound of butter indeed. The
creamery is managed by local business
men, and the butter maker is an exper-
fenced man from Hartville. Indiana.
Mr.. w. l.. McCan. who is of the opin-
ion that this part of Delaware is capa-
bic of supporting a much larger cream
cry, and it only needs that the interest
Of the farmers for five or six miles
about Frederica should be aroused to
the advantage of selling milk to the
creamery, that the enterprise will be

MILFORD FREE LIBRARY.

AS spring approaches, everyone sees
what needs to be done in the way of
identifying the yards, painting houses,
planting gardens and getting the spring
sewing done. As it is an old saving
There is always room for one more, y
let this apply to the people of Milford,
concerning the establishment of free
library, as one of the things needed to
be done. Milford could have a free
library this year if the people will only
realize that a library in town would
benefit everyone, whether property
holder or renter, and everyone would
really work towards establishing it.
A very small sum from each person
would make up the required $3.50 which
is needed, and if that sum is raised the
State will furnish $500 foc the purpose.
Keep these figures before you, $500 free,
and only $3.50 to be raised among the
citizens Of Milford.

of Edward Burton of Dover, one of the
State capitals most prominent citizens.

This proved to the jury that the dece-
dent was not capable of making a will.

an issue from the Register of Wills of

Sussex County, against George Burton,
