RECOLLECTIONS
Of Milford Forty Years Ago.
Editor of the Chronicle

Editor Of the Chronicle:
Dear Sir: In noticing the great i'm
/ provement made in the Chronicle, anC
what a great paper it has become, my
/ thoughts carry me back to boyhoods days
back yonder to the later seventies and
early eighties.
remember the Chronicle as a small
| four-page paper | was raised near
StaytOnville, and with my father, often
went to Milford, which was a great
place to me in those days. Father did
most of his dealing at the grocery store
of James Truitt. 1t was a great treat
to me to visit j. H. Ape's bakery shop
and get cakes. Whenever mother had
chance she would always call and see
her old time personal friend, Mrs.
Annie Jump. who kept a millinery store.
Father used to say, if he wanted to find
mother when in Milford ''go to a milli-
merry shop. Mother would often speak
of the time when Mrs Annie Jumps
husband was killed at Nassau station by
aJunctiOn& Breakwater Railroad train.
There was one place in Milford l used
to be afraid to 90 into when father
would have any business there. and that
was w. N. Powders shop. The cOffins
frightened me.
| remember well how great a place
'Jett'' LOwery's Hotel used to be, and
Of the big crowds that assembled there |
on Saturdays so long ago. Just over
the way, on ''COoper's Corner, an old |
colored woman, Aunt Mary Shockley. |
had cake stand, and there was poor |
Did Polly" Hazard coming up the /
street with a bag of chips from the ship
yard. Some one would say. Polly want
a cracker - and she wouldn't hesitate
o say something that didn' sound nice
,ither.
1t seemed to me there was lots doing
md much excitement in Milford. 1t
lsed to be sight to see the OK carts
md teams that came to town with loads
# pine cord wood on Saturdays, and it
vas also one sight to see the great
lles of pine cord wood along the warf.
sometimes a farmer would bring d load
t wood to pay up his yearly subscrip-
ion to his paper.
| think the Chronicle has become the
eading weekly newspaper south of Will I
llngtOn. and it contains more neWsy
latter in one issue now than it did in
TX or seven issues 35 years ago.
What great changes since then There |
as then only one train day each way, /;

ALUMNI ASSOCIATION

An effort is being made here to
organize an alumni association of
the Mt. Sterling High School, COM
posing all the old graduates and
pupils who attended the High School
two years or more. The object of
the association is to celebrate COM
mencement every year with banquet
and dance. 1t is hoped the associa-
ton will be formed in time to parti-
cipate in the festivities attending
commencement week this year. The
association will be a splendid organ
ization and will go a long way to-
ward cementing old school friend
ships and perpetuating half-forgot-
ten memories of childhood's happiest
hours, and we sincerely hope those
behind the movement will meet with
success.

COMMUNITY PRIDE

Community Pride is an asset, and
it is one of the greatest of all assets.
The town that improves it's streets,
cleans up the alleys, paints the
houses, cuts the grass, rakes the
lawns and plants its flowers is not
only encouraging cleanliness, but is
making for itself a name among the
peoples of the outer world.
Commercial travellers and others
come, and look, and go away, and
falkland the talk is all in favor
of the town and its people.
Talk travels, and grows, and null
tiplies until the town becomes known
in many climes for its cleanliness
and progressiveness.
In time other men who are look
ing for change in location hear of
this town-and then they go, and
look, and talk, and are pleased, and
it becomes their home.
And the town continues to expand
and progress, and as the years roll
by it gradually assumes larger pro-
portions and a more commanding and
dominating position in the world.
When Community Pride comes in
Prosperity enters by its side, and
the two become the mighty levers
that control the machinery of sue
cess.
Personal Pride and Community
Pride should march side by side, for
when these two potent factors join
hands in laudable purpose oppo-
sition quickly melts away.

AWAIT REPLY

Backed by united country, Pres
ident Wilson is patiently awaiting
the reply of Germany to his note.
No forecast of what will be done
by the German authorities has, or
can be given.
The tone Of President Wilson'S
demand, while in keeping with the
character of great ruler, can not
be misunderstood. Either compli-
ance will be given or a reason will
be rendered.
just at this time the American
government. is moving serenely
along, hoping to remain forever at
peace, but determined, nevertheless,
to protect her subjects whenever
and wherever their rights are assail-
ed.
= In the meantime, the American

wherever and by whomsoever their
rights are assailed.

forever.

Which of you by your anxieties
can make tomorrow any smoother
than it would have been without
them? Which of you by your groan-
ings and grumblings can change the
future? 1t changes you, it wears
you out, it puts bitterness in your
sweetened cup. tell you the spirit
of trust, hope and joys in the most
victorious atmosphere in which wO-
man can mork out her temporal or
eternal salvation? There are only
two ways of living. One way says
to the people round about: "Come
and make me happy" and the other
way says, "Come and let me make
you happy"

FRECKLE-FACE
Sun and Wind Bring Out Ugly
Spots. How to Remove Easily.

Here's chance, Miss Freckle-
face, to try a remedy for freckles
with the guarantee of a reliable
dealer that it will not cost you a
penny unless it removes the freckles;
while if it does give you a clear
complexion the expense is trifling.
Simply get an ounce of othine-
double strength-from Bassett Drug
Co., and few applications should
show you how easy it is to rid
yourself of the homely freckles and
get a beautiful complexion. Rarely
is more than one ounce needed for
the worst case.
Be sure to ask the druggist for
the double strength othine as this
is the prescription sold under guar
antee of money back if it fails to
remove freckles. Al

POULTRY KEEPERS READ THIS

Il We publish below a communication
from Mr. Hickey, State Agent in
Pounltry Club Work
Because ROSTERS are allowed ia
run with laying hens during warm
weather $4,000. 90 worth Of eggs
are lost to the farmers throughout
the United States each year; and
most of this loss occurs during June,
July and August. For this reason
raisers Of poultry are earnestly ask
ed and urged to will or sell all ma
tured males or cofine them in pens
away from the laying hens during the
summer. Eggs that are laid by hens
not mated are sterile or infertile,
and do not decay The fortified eggs
spoil very quickly when subjected
to the influence Of heat and if they
are left too long in the nests or un-
der broody hens or are left in any
very warm place the germ cells be-
gin to develop, the chicks begin TO
grow These growing cells may die
at any stage of development due to
unfavorable conditions.
Whether the embryo dies or not,
the egg is useless as food and is un-
fit for market If the wives of the |
farmers would once realize how much |
money they practically lose by al
lowing the roosters to run with the
layers, they would Immediately stop
the practice. Not one egg more is
produced with a male running with |
a flock of hens than without one,
and unless the ROSTERS are valuable
as breeders, it is far better to dis
pose of them at the end of the breed
ing season and replace them with the
stock the following spring.
If we follow this plan we can always
have good, strong, vigorous cocker
els (young roosters) for breeders,
and at the same time get rid Of the
care Of non-producers Let us at
least make the most of what we
possess.

Why the HOME PApERs

Have you ever asked yoursel
why you take the home paper, o
why it is necessary to have HON
paper at allf
Do so, and you will start a trail
of thoughts that will be illuminating
The big city daily comes to yo'
and gives you the important news
of the outside world, but you ant
the home people are too small fol
a place in its columns.
About its only thought Of you is
the money it gets from you.
1t deals in world matters and is of
value to you because through it you
obtain much of your knowledge of
the greater affairs Of life.
But it utterly ignores you and
yours.
Hence the local paper, and like
wise your reason for taking the local
paper.
You cannot exist without know
ledge of the affairs Of the local
authorities, and you must know Of
the doings Of the churches, and the
lodges, and of your neighbors, and
of the community in general.
You cannot obtain this knowledge
from the big city paper, but you can
and do read it in the columns of the
home paper.
You buy the big city daily be-
cause you must know of the progress
of the world, for your mind is de-
veloping day by day and demands
this greater fund of information.
But your mind Graves even a
more intimate knowledge of affairs
that are vital to the interests of
you and yours, and these things you
find only in the home paper.
To the great city daily you are
but a single pebble upon the beach,
a drifting sand of the desert.
But to the home paper you are
one of us, an important factor in
the community, force with which
to be reckoned.
A disrupted disintegrating COM
munity means a shrinkage and loss
in property values and stagnant
public mind. Hence the home paper
has an ever watchful eye to the
interests of the community and Of
Yourself, for only in the preserva-
ton of the community and of your
self can the home paper hope for
4 continued existence.
And because you are loyal to
your friends and to the community
you believe in the home paper and
its ceaseless work for home and
home people.
Your interests and those of the
home paper are identical, and you
need it quite as much as it needs you
And the man who recognizes the
necessity for a community of inter.
ests becomes a builder, and not a 1
