MILFORD GRANGE

The attention of all members is call
ed to the change of opening hour-2
p. m. during the short fall and winter
days. This had not been published
before, and when Grange opened on
Saturday last the attendance looked
slim, but by 2:30 o'clock the increase
in the attendance was very noticeable.
Miss Houston rendered a beautiful
piano solo.
THE Question Box" brought forth
good discussions, as usual. There was
much to be said against raffling, with
a few for and a few Indifferent.
"Tresspassing by Chickens" was of
deep interest to almost all, and sever
al good authorities were quoted and
the remedy for such nuisance given.
Chicken diseases were talked over.
Many were interested in the age
limit of attendance of young children
in our Grange.
Interesting reports were made of
the meeting of the Kent County Po-
mona held at Cheswold on the previ-
GUS Thursday Milford was repre-
sented by seven members.
Because of the bazaar the next re-
gular meeting of the Grange will be

TEACHERS OF KENT and
sussex TO MEET here

The plans for the Kent and Sussex
County Institutes which will be held
in Milford the week of November Sth.
have been completed, and now only
the arrival of the teachers is needed
to make the affair huge success. The
merchants of Milford who have been
securing homes for the teachers, re-
port that the people of this town have
more than furnished homes for the
teachers. The teachers will arrive in
Milford Tuesday morning, will be
here at noon that day for their first
meal, and will leave Milford Friday
afternoon of Institute week. This in
formation is given in order that all
persons who expect teachers will
know just when to provide for them
and how long to provide.
The Institute sessions will be held
in three places each day; the Armory
Hall, the Milford New Century Club,
and the Milford High School Assembly
Hall. The cOlored teachers will be
in session at the same time and will
hold their meetings at the Brick
Church. The teachers of this race
from the entire state will be in Milford
The evening sessions will be held on
Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday
evenings of the week, and will be far
above the ordinary line of Lyceum en-
tertainments. On Tuesday evening,
November 9Th, Dr. Edward Amherst
OFT will entertain with one of his IA
nous lectures. DR.. OFT has been in
Milford before and is well known to
Milford audiences. Wednesday even
ing THE American Girls" a musical
organization of the first order, will
be the entertainers. This company of
seven young ladies renders both vocal
and instrumental numbers, and is ac-
companied by a reader. On Thursday
evening, "The American Quartette,"
male, will be here.
All of the evening entertainments
come highly recommended.
The day sessions will be devoted
to regular institute work, as
in past seasons, and some well-knOwn
educators will be present. In all,
about four Hundred and fifty white
teachers will make Milford their home
for the week. They will be welcomed
here as in past years.
The committee having charge of Sc
curing homes for teachers report that
a number of persons have made ar
with teachers for board,
but that they have not notified the
committee. If those people will noti-
~ the committee at once they will
save much confusion at the last NOM
ent. The committee has assigned the
to the various homes, and
any arrangements made without their
will cause much misunder-
Tickets for the evening entertain
nents during the Institute will be on
sale at the Corner Drug Store next
Friday. The price of the course will

Possible Error

Some think We violated last week in
our last paragraph under the heading,
The Grain Trade, the very prinei-
pies we had previous laid down. about
circulating evil reports unless they had
reason to expect that they would do
some good or protect some worthy in
terest.
Perhaps We did. If so it demon,
strates that 1T is easier To preach than
10 practice. y
There is no positive evidence that
anybody was holding up the elevator
site. All we know is that any delay
was expensive TO the organization and
no good reason could be discovered why
the site Was not located.
1t was OF vital Importance 10 have ii
located. and the question was how to
eSpediate matters and the plan men
toned was tried and the site was stak.
cd out the next day
There might havo been a better way,
but noon other could have brought
more speedy results. 1t may even be
that it did not hurry matters. We
not say positively.
When your cows were gone. you did
not know whether they were strayed or
stolen. You wanted to find them and
went about it. The same with the site
1t is found and there We are willing 10
let the matter rest, ii others are. Ii
others wish to run down rumors, we
have no objection.
