KINGS DAUGHTERS WILL SPREAD
CHRISTMAS Cheer ABOUT MILFORD

For weeks past the members of the Faithful
circle of Kings Daughters of Milford, have been
bnsiv engaged in gathering funds and useful arti-
cIes for distribution among the children of the de-
eerving DOOR, Their efforts in this line have been
roUyned with success, and this will be attested TO
Iate This afternoon when the various members pick
nm their baskets and start forth their errands OF
mercy The Circle while being well supplied with
necessities for Christmas could handle last min
te contributions and in this manner aid few more
cbiIdren If any charitably disposed persons in this
tovn should be so inclined they may send donation
to Miss Sara Anderson treasurer OF the organiza-
tiOn. ,,..,s, c., &c
Kings Daughters have played their important part
in making happy the lot Of some unfortunate child
lbose Christmas otherwise would have been mis-
erable one This they have done for years when 9th
or organizations have failed; and, to their credit be
said that they have done this i'll the face OF the
fact that other organizations probably better
srnplied with money and contributions than they
are This circle is a credit to Milford, and will be
supported by its citizens.
The cold months of the winter which are to
come will draw heavily upon the resources OF the
treasury of the Kings Daughters 1t will be neces-
rv that they be replenished. There is no more op-
nortune time than now, while the Christmas spirit
is strong within you, to make out your check in ord
or that this worthy charity might prosper. DO TINS
todav-dOn't delay.

CEDAR CREEK MUST Be IMPROVED

The stream that empties into the Nispillion River
at the Lighthouse and by the existing canal is known
as Cedar Creek is practically not available in its
present condition, for navigation The steamer Harry
Davis was stuck at Davis Landing for two weeks
this month, and lost several freights which would
have netted the owners many hundreds of dollars,
all because of the exceptionally low run OF tides and
the shallow existing at all times. By cutting
off one or of the bends, fully half the distance OF
getting up and down the stream by steamboat will
be saved and the longest cut are informed, would
be about 500 yards across soft marsh. This one cut
would eliminate the shoal water at all times which
is now encountered and give tide opportunity to
rise and fall so to assist in keeping the channel
clear. The farmers dependent upon this stream for
convenience to ship their grain, or to receive their
phosphates would be benefited especially, and with
the shipping interests they should join together ana
have this improvement made to Cedar Creek. Posi-
bly, the U. S. Government would assist in the canal
end of the project; but the farmers can well anord
to contribute and have this work done. 1t would cost
between two and three thousand dollars to make
good channel through which steamboats, can go and
come; but as it exists the steamboats, will not
again soon risk trip up far Davis Landing in
Cedar Creek. Draper, Davis & Company will assist
in doing this work. and any farmer with realization
of what convenient transportation facilities mean to
him. will get into touch with them and have the work
started Now is the time to get the work started
