MILTON NEWS.

The couf -rences of both of the Metho.
dist Churches are near AT hanC, and the
stewards OF the Milton branches are
-aang their best endeivOrs to raise the
ministers salaries before they leave for
thsir annual gathering. Milton is well
knowu tor doing this. While the simile
may not be in good taste, we may com
pare the plan adopted to raise the
preacher salary, of late years with the
argument adduced for raising hogs, i e.
The family spends a little each week to
raise its hog In the end he has his hog
and does not feel. or miss The money.
The late habit of raising the minister s
salary ov the envelope system, and Civ
ging a small pr tiOu weekly would in the
send result in the ministers salary being
paid and the people wouldn't feel any
spOrse off. But here that troublesome
little conjunction comes in, but" they
don't do il They, the people, will re-
solve to do 50 and so, and will faithfully
observe their resolution for one half or
rmure of the year, then they weary in
-Rell doing" and quit, leaving the rest
Of the indebtedness to be raised on the
-eve Of conference This is often hard to
.do. It's Just at the beginning Of spring
aN4Alu many AaNAAAANa AukN AdAA All AtiEN
aoond do to pass the winter over, and
r2hey are without money and almost
without any thing else. The beginning
oi spring is bad time to raise money.
Bat Milton has always paid its ministers,
and will do it again. It is the belief of
many that neither of the minister will
return for another year. Why, we can
not tell in the case of the Rev. Holland.
He has been asked for by the unanimous
vote of the late members me ting, and
If the Maryland Annual Conference so
wills, there is nothing to hinder him
from being returned. Rev Zack Web
-ster does not expect to return If we have
been correctly informed. Yet it is hard
40 tell what the Off ial board of Mr.
Webster's church want.-or, a part OF
them. When men, or a man, don't
know any better than Ito love a man
almost to death. and then vote against
him. there is something wrong some

should be repealed, according to the

26th In addiu to the State Board of
Education, Commissioner of Education
Dr. Charles A. Wagner and Superinten-
dent Carroll will be present. This meet

Frederica, it is earnestly desired that
goodly number Of its citizens lie present
at this meeting. The people in the ad-
joining districts who will be affected BY
the same conditions are requested to be
on hand also. We want to get down to
basic principles to discuss ways and means
of getting better results of money ex-
pended for education. Every adult in
the district should be present, as the
subject is one of vital interest and we
want an expression of the people. This
meeting is not for the children, as we
want the hall filed with ADULTS, except
in cases where the parents are Obliged to
bring Their children with them Don't
forget the date, March 29th. We want
your ideas on the subject, so make siren
uous efforts to be present.

BOWERS.

Entertainment at the Casino.
The Bowers Dramatic CLUB, organ
li2e1 and instructed by Jacob Hammel,
a graduate from Philadelphia in that
line of business, will give a play this
coming Saturday evening, the 25th OF
March, in the dance hall Of the Cas-
ino Hotel. entitled Diamonds and
Hearts" Mr. Hammel, by his extra
ordinary talent at this line of enter
tanning, has inculcated in his list of
performers a most surprising show
of perfection, and this play will surely
be well worth going to see. 1t is hop
ed that the puplic will appreciate his
efforts by giving him a full house.
Lecture Next Monday.
On Monday evening, March 9th.
there will be given a lecture, illus
trated by stereoptican views, by Rev.
w. F. Stewart, Of Camden, Del, in
the NJ E. Church at Bowers Beach,
entitled, "In His Steps, or What would
Jesus Do?" Rev. Stewart comes very
highly recommended, and we pre-
sumo he will have big audience.
Frederick Resumes Trips.
The steamer Frederick arrived at
Bowers the past Tuesday, to the great
Joy Of number of our citizens who
were out OF coal. This steamer hav-
ing been overhauled while in Phila-
delphia the past two weeks started
on her regular trips this past Thurs
day, and we trust will have a success

Shad Fishermen IN Trouble.
The shad fisherman at Bowers are
certainly having troubles of their own
not only on account of the condition
of the weather, which is cold and
backward, but because of certain laws
that conflict with the particular meth
ods OF fishermen. Many fishermen |
use poles to stake their nets on out in
Delaware Bay, and these fishermen
have been informed, by a man calling I
himself a detective (but not commits |
stoned by any State authority that !
any fisherman who fishes for shad
with nets hung on poles, must take I
their nets up by noon on Saturday, I
and must not put them down again
until midnight on Sunday night. The
Bowers fishermen claim it is an i'm
in this method of fishing.
It is often the case, that were they
to take them up, they could s
not get to their nets on Saturday on
recount of the weather conditions,
which is quite often the case. Now
hen, the facts in the matter are, that
the fishermen do not fish their nets
Turing the time from noon Saturday,
md midnight Sunday night, that it
,annot be a violation of the law. OF
course, there are different opinions
N this subject, and those that differ
iay that while the nets are in the bay
hat it is an obstruction, and that the
lets are fishing all the time, catching
my passing shad. It is very evident
hat the whole movement is aimed at

WARNING OF OUTLAWS
HEADED FOR BORDER
Trevino Says That Villistas, Having
Eluded Carranza Troops, Plan
Another Raid.

CHIHUAHUA CITY, Mexico, July

making their way north with the oh

American border, according to conf
Dental advices to General .Jacinto
Trcyiuo.
The adviccs. which came from Santa
RoSalia, said that the outlaws skirted
Chihuahua City by travelling in small
groups to the little settlements north

the commanders of the garrisous at

at about POO. lie pointed out, how

military authorities on the American
side OF the frontier to be especially
vigilant.
"With the advent of the rainy sea-
