TEMPLE LODGE A. F. And
A. NJ. IS 100 YEARS OLD

On January 10th, 1915, Temple Lodge,
No. 9. A. F. and A. NJ, will reach its
one hundredth anniversary of its exis-
tance. For a century this organization
of membership in a lodge of masons,
has eXerted an influence for morality in
the Town of Milford and nearby places,
among not only its membership. but the
people at large, and to so great extent
thatit is not generally realized. A com
mittee has been appointed of which
George H. Hall is chairman, to arrange
for an observance of the first century of
the lodge, by either some celebration.
or action which will be in keeping with
the occasion. The present Temple is
held in fee by Temple Lodge, through its
Trustee, Isaac S. Truitt, and it cost
about seven thousand dollars. On this
property there is a mortgage of nearly
$500, and many of the members would
be pleased to have the celebration of the
one hundredth anniversary of Temple
Lodge include the burning Of that mort
gage, and the freeing of the Temple
from all debt. To this end letters have
been addressed to the members for an
expression of opinion as to ways and
means of bringing this about, and arrang-
ing for an anniversary program as well.

in Philadelphia at 10. 10 p. m. Persons
coming from Baltimore to Milford were
compelled to remain over night IN VIII
mington when making the trip. The Off
cial election returns are printed IN the
issue of the Messenger which was left
at this Office. At this election William
Cannon was elected Governor Of the
Sta e, and George P. Fisher a member
of Congress from Delaware. The paper
has an interesting account of the man
ner in which the United States troops
guarded the voting places on election
day. This action was taken when 1t
was rumored about that those persons
who favored the Confederacy were TAX
ing means to bar all Unionists from vot-
ing. The paper spoke very favorably
about the troops.

RED CROSS SEWING CIRCLE.

The Sewing Circle has cut out three
bolts of flannel ready to be made into
garments for the wounded soldiers.
Since the last report the material has
come in, and money to buy more, but
sewers are few. Will you not, dear
friend. halt in your Christmas work and
devote one afternoon in making one gar
ment for the box waiting to be filled ?
You will not be making gown or robe
for your husband or son, but for the
husband and son of that dear sister of
YOURS across the sea. who is so helpless
to provide for her own. If you cannot
sew, perhaps you will contribute in an
other way. What mothers heart does
not bleed after reading that appeal for
milk for the starving Belgian babies.
The foOdstuffs sent over will do for the
mothers, but what will become of the
babies. Do not hold back thinking you
will help the poor at home. Each town
and CITY. like Philadelphia, will devise
ways and means to provide for its own.
The present conditions in America are
temporary. When the war ends, busi-
ness at home will be lighter. Remem-
Der the box lacks few garments to fill
it before it can be shipped. They are
cut out and ready atathe home of Mrs.
