The MILITIA ON Hike
Headed by Governor Miller They
Passed through MiddIetOwn
MANY VISITORS An TdE CAMP

Governor Charles R. Miller and his
staff in the organized militia of Della
ware, reached Middletown at Ills
o'clock on Tuesday morning, on their
march through the State. Their com
ing was anxlously looke1 for by many
from the surrounding country. They
came quietly, no music, other than two
or three blasts of the bugle being
heard. The march'up Main street to
Broad down Broad to the camping
grounds, 2 1-2 miles south of town
created little enthusiasm or excitement.
Governor Miller was recognized and
lifted his hat frequently to the hand
clapping of some ladies as he rode past,
but the heavy, measured tramu, tramp
of the men was not featured by any
enthusiasm. Just beyond Odessa, op-
posite the farm of F. j. Pennington, a
twenty minutes rest was made. The
route of the march through town was
marked by liberal display of flags and
bunting from the residents, and mot
man., says a writer with the soldiers,
dropped out of line for any cause.
They expected to reach their camp
field just beyond the town and every
one was striving to see that the whole
came through the days work |
without the blemish of having a man
fall out because of fatigue or other
cause. When it was learned however,
that the camping ground was more than
three miles down the state road and in
fact within sight of Townsend, the men
lost some of the spirit which had thus
far pervaded the entire movement.
They were tired, hot and weary, and
had been expecting to camp at or near
but they soon forgot their
III temper and continued to plod along
as if they were just starting out.
Many in automobiles and others in carri-
ages visited the camping grounds dur
ng the afternoon and evening and
many of the soldiers came to town early
n the evening and remained here until
near the midnight hour, enjoying their
freedom from camp.

THAT BALL FIELD--WHEN? ?

Dame rumor hath it that some public
spirited unknown is interesting him
self on behalf of the young men of
Middletown to secure for them field
for their base ball practice. If so let
him hurry up for the ''good old summer
time" will soon be gone
St. Georges, Odessa, Townsend
indeed any town around but this one of
ours. has life enough and care enough
for its youth to provide them a ball
field. Does Middletown wish to make
life so unattractive here that its young
blood will clear out? If this native is
at the bottom of this narrow-spirited
course, we must say it is to be COM
mended, for almost every young man
who has left the town, has bettered his
fortunes many times over.
The policy of the fathers was to
drive away all manufacturing establish
ments wishing to locate'here, and we
suppose the next good thing to be done
in this regard is to hustle the young
men out of town also.
