Milford chronicle., 1914-09-25

During the summer months there has
been an influx of visitors to this place
many of whom were born and reared
here, others who have been residents OF
the towns in time that are passed. We
met some OF those visitor Gt5ptl classes.

erica is located in the Second Election
District of the Eighth Representative
District of Kent County. Mr. Joseph
Frazier of the town, is the candidate on
the Republican ticket for Senator from
this district, and x-postmaster John c.
George, also of this town is the nomi-
nee for Recorder of Deeds for Kent
county. Both of these men are repre-

and are expected to poll a large vote at
the coming November election.

Many of the sturdy old oaks, that once
formed part of the grove on the front,
and to the west of the building are gone;
but we are glad to see that the trustees
who have the grounds in charge, are
looking out for eventualities or the fri-
lure welfare of the place Young trees
nave been planted in the grove to take
he place of those that have decayed and
gone. And, by the way, there are no
,hestnuts in the grove this autumn. The
rees are barren. Doubtless, some reader
nay remember the incident of the chest
