visitors, and heard the same appeal IOI
better farming from the Secretary OF
Agriculture. At about 10. 80 o'clock on
Saturday, u. S. Senator Willard Sauls-
bury. and his guest, Hon. David F.
Houston, Secretary of Agriculture ar
rived in Milton. They were met by a
small, but enthusiastic company of
farmers and others interested in that
line of work. The meeting was held in
the room of the New Century Club,
above the post office-and there the
Secretary discussed for a very short
time on what he had seen during his
iterniary in Delaware, and compared
the natural advantages of the State,
its soil, its climate, etc, with those of
the other States of the Union. all of
which he had visited during the last
two years. The Secretary has a en-
gaging personality and a disposition
that appears natural to win men unto
] him. His manners were ingratiating,
and his admirers were sorry for him to
depart to make good his other appoint
ments. 1t has been remarked by some
who heard him, they would like to lis
ten to him talk for an hour or more.
Senator Salisbury was on his home
ground while in Sussex, and met not
only friends but acquaintances tried
and true. That honorable gentleman
has his admirers in Milton-for he has
done something for Milton people, while
he has been a member of the Senate,
that those beneficiaries will remember.
He also has his enemies, but they are
enemies in politics; as all politicians
are, he is welded TO his party, but acts
for the interests of any who may appeal
to him, irrespective of their political
affiliations. The distinguished party
left Milton at II. 80 enroute for Milford.
And the incident, not unexpected, has
furnished gossip for some time to come,
or until something else cut off the or
binary course of events, transpires to
take its place.

There is a practice in vogue in the |
churches of Milton that reminders me |
of fifty years ago, or when was boy. |
That is non-confOrmity with the prac-
tees of the churches. When the con-
gregation stands to sing, some will sit; /

read, some will back themselves in a
corner, and if they have room will
stretch their feet out on the seat and
so on. Now this is done only by few
who presumably knows no better. But
they should be taught better and should
conform to the rules and practices of
any church. to which they may go.

The mail service we now have is real
ly the best we have ever had. The
noon mail from Glendale arrives on
time, and if the evening mail was to
come the same way, we would get it
half hour sooner than we do. Passen-
gers at night often prefer to hire a
private conveyance from Glendale to
Milton than to wait an hour for the d.
