 The eleventh annual concert given by the Prevocational Grammar school pupils last night, and which will be repeated in the school hall this eve- ming, was an altogether pleasing af- fair. The audience joined in several times in singing the chorus of national airs and much credit is due Professor G. B. Mathews for the able training that the student chorus received.
 All of the chorus numbers were well rendered as were the solo num- bers. Violin selections by George c. Marlow were well received as was a piano duet by Hazel Sampson and Gertrude Klar. George Marlow ana Earl M Lambert also gave pleasing violin duet and the reading '"The Ride of Jennie McNear', by Hilda Rubicoff was very we'll rendered.

is A FREE ADVERTISEMENT
FOR SUSSEX COUNTY PEOPLE

The following notice has to be pub
lished by the Levy Court of Sussex
County, so that all the people Of this
county may be notified that the annu-
al licenses to do business in Sussex
County, Delaware, expire with June
1st, 1917, and that the business folks
Of Sussex County will be compelled
to pay penalties and fees, should they
fail to take out their annual license
to do business for another year, on
or before June 30th, 1917.
The Levy Court of Sussex directs
the publishing of these notices, and
this year, the notice was directed to
be inserted in one paper in George
town, and one on the western side
Of the county. The balance of the
people of Sussex County, and there
are about $4,000, who do not happen
to see either of the two mediums of
publicity selected, will know nothing
about the penalty likely to be impos-
ed upon them through their failure
to make prompt compliance with the
notice; and, for their benefit alone,
the Milford Chronicle is printing the
notice in its columns this week.
The Levy Court seems NOT to have
grasped the fact, that ALL THE PEO-
PIE are entitled to know the facts
in public measure, and not simply
the few individuals who may reside
in the vicinity of the local papers in
which they have selected to print the
notice. Each and all the people are
entitled to have notice of any penalty
which may be imposed upon them,
and for that reason, each newspaper
IN the county should have been direct
ed to print the notice. The law pro-
Tides that the notice shall be printed
IN not less than two papers in the
county for public information, but it
ioes not say that effort shall not be
made to inform all of the people in
IN important matter in which they
ire interested. This is a nOn-Dartf-

All licenses expire the first day of
