PLEASANT RECEPTION To
The REV. DR.. MOWBRAY

Armory Hall was the scene of happy
gathering Tuesday evening when the
members of the Methodist Episcopal
Church welcomed their returning pastor.
Rev. William R. Mowbray for another
year, by giving the social gathering in
his honor. The early part of the even
ing was given over to addresses and
music. Among those who were heard
during the course of the evening were
Rev. Thomas Davis, pastor of the Bap-
tist Church. Rev. H. L. Bunstein, pas
tor of the Presbyterian Church, Profess
sor Varney, of the High School, Joseph
e. Holland. who spoke for the Church
Board, William G. Abbott, and Miss
Virginia Henderson, who spoke for the
Epworth League. James F. Anderson
was master of ceremonies. Between
the addresses music was interspersed
The affair was one of the finest of the
kind ever held in Milford, and to the
popularity of the returning pastor much
of the credit for the success must be
given. During his pastorate here Rev.
MIR. Mowbray has made hosts of friends,
not only among his own church members.
but throughout the entire town, and the
vast crowd which attended the reception
is ample proof of the popularity Of the
man. 1t is the hope of the Chronicle
that his pastorate may long continue,
and that his success will be undated.

MAD DOG KILLS STOCK.

A mule owned by Willard Potter of

acting queer appears d on the farm of

dog owned by him. He drove the ami
NAL away, but it returned and attacted
Mr.. Watson, who got his shot gun and
attempted to shoot it, and in flight it
went towards the farm of Willard Pot

in his yard. Since the rabies developed
in the mule at Mr. Potter's several other
mules have been watched, and all the
dogs in the neighborhood are under OBJ
servation. DIR. F. P. Ruhl. acting under
instructions from the Live Stock Sani-

BIGGEST STORM OF The
WINTER COMES IN APRIL

The eqinoctial storm which usually
comes about the twenty-first of March
was delayed until April Bird, this year.
and it certainly was one of the worst
storms of this or any other year. Early
on Saturday morning a high wind and
binding snow which would have done
credit to a Canadian blizzard, started.
The wind blew from the northeast, and
increased in velocity up to the noon
hour, and then continued a steady gale
until night fell on a winter seen such as
Delaware has not witnessed in many
years. The wet snow chung to every
thing it touched until its weight either
bent or broke what it adhered too. and
as a result the telephone and telegraph
service was soon cut off from neighbor-
ing towns. The snow melted rapidly
early in the morning, but the weather
turned colder, and it became a mass of
half-frozen snow and slush. which cover
ed the ground as night came to the depth
of ten inches on a level, but in most
cases it was banked from ten inches to
three feet deep. The wind effectually
prevented even animals from facing the
storm, and as a result the business of
Milford, and all lower Delaware was at
a stand still. Not a team came from
the rural districts, and only such farmers
as were compelled to come to town
reached here in automobiles. The Rural
Mail Delivery men found drifts which
stopped their teams. and they had to be
dug out with shovels, and the trips
abandoned.
In the midst of the storm about four
o'clock, the fire alarm was blow from
the pumping station, and the Firemen
responded with both hose and carriages
promptly. The fire was only a chimney
at the home of Lee 0. Truitt on Causey
Avenue, and it was not necessary to
unreal the hose.
Easter Sunday, April 9TH, was just as
beautiful overhead. as the day previous
had been stormy. The sun shOne warm
and bright, and the great banks of snow
shrunk under the sun rays as rapidly as
it came, so that by the afternoon the
drifts had dwindled, but remained bar
riers to travel. 1t required two horse
team two hours of hard work to get from
Shawnee to Milford, a distance of only
two miles, and only men on horse back
were able to get through early in the
The grass and wheat came from under
the snow green and beautiful, and the
snow fall was one of the greatest benefits
to the farmers which has come to them
this spring.

REMOVING The old Shed
ALONG WALNUT STREET

Even the mules object to having to
stand under the drip of the old distigur-
ing sheds which Obstruct the streets in
the business part of Milford. Last Men
day morning a team of mules were
hitched to 2 x post under the old shed
in front of the old store owned by
Joseph E. Holland, and tenanted by
Smith & Hurley as grocery. became
disgusted with having to be tethered to
so disreputable appearing cover IN front
of store on the main street of Milford,
and without much effort pulled the post
out ard down came the shed. This
did not cause the old shed or the store
building to be renewed, but the shed va s
promptly propped up, and the team OF
mules removed to another and better
appearing lettering point. There IS no
charge for this advertisement Of Smith
q Hurley's grocery in this notice as
they would welcome a modern store
building to do business in, il it were
possible to get one built for them, or to
purchase the property on which to build
it a reasonable figure. For several years
Mr.. Holland has had plans drawn for
replacing this section Of old buildings
on the main business section Of Milford,
but that is as far as the enterprise has
gone. Probably the mule teams may
accelerate the building, unless calmity
of fire should bring it about before they
can accomplish their work. The Town
Council certainly has the right to cause
all distractions which are either dan
gerous or are nuisance because Of their
appearance over the sidewalks, to be
removed, and we hope to see the present
Town Council compel the removal of all
structures. shed, or other things which
are distractions to either pedestrians,
or the firemen. from the sidewalks of
Milford. Impose an annual tax of one
dollar on eacn awning post, each hitch
ing post or other obstruction placed
upon the sidewalk in the shape of signs,
peanuts roasters. etc. This will bring
revenue where the property owners or
leasehOlders maintain such distractions.
For the improved appearance wItnout
such things see the new Jump and
Watson Blocks on North Walnut SIreet.
Tax all awning posts each year and
they will come down promptly without
further trouble on the part of Town
Council.

REMOUEILIyG NEW FIREHOUSE.

The first floor front of the portion of
the Handy Building" which was re-
Gently purchased by the town, formerly
used by the Adams Express Com
pany, was torn out on Wednesday, and
workmen commenced to remodel it for
a firehouse. The front will be replaced
with large glass doors. but the floors
will not be lowered. A slanting incline
will be used to run the apparatus into
the building. The crying need of the
town at the present time is a modern
fire fighting equipment such as all of the
progressive towns on the peninsula have
installed. A fire will awaken the people
of Milford some of these days to the
fact that proper fire fighting apparatus
is an investment. Those who are charged
with the upkeep of this portion of the
towns property should get busy at once.
