MILTON NEWS.

Last week we received a copy Of the
Wareham Courier, published at Ware
ham, Mass. Among its contents was an
account of the death of Mrs. Joseph l. W.
Burgers of that city. This ladv's maiden
name was Caroline Sands, and many,
many, years ago, with her father, taught
school in Frederica, Del. And, for the
benefit of the Frederica readers of the
Chronicle this item is written "Caddie
Sands:' Yes, there are many of the
( elder ones in Frederica who yet remem-
/ Der that intelligent, vivacious, and in
teresting young lady. Miss Caddie 20
was familiar figure in that little town.
But, 0 my how the years have flown

forgotten Miss Caddie," when a few
years ago when J. Edward Addicks. or
as Mrs. Burger styled him. THAT incu-
bus Addicks," invaded Delaware with
the purpose of buying the Delaware legis-
lature. l received a letter stating Sic
had been taking the News and Adver-
tiser to see what the incubus Addicks"

becane the property of the Milford
Chronicle she, as a subscriber, became a

and We have been correspondents ever
since. In her letters she wrote of MANY
things reminiscent . and told how she.
often in school, took me in her arms and

after her husband had preceded her.

of the charitable institutions of Ware
ham. She leaves, besides several near
relatives, two children: Harry S. Burg
