MILTON NEWS

last week for us to congratulate the
chronicle on its new dress The
enlargement of the paper was some
thing we had been anticipating fol-
some time and our dreams of its ap-
nearance were more than realized
when a copy of the first edition reach
cd us. The readers of the Chronicle
will no doubt, be much pleased with
the paper in its enlarged form, as there
will be space for much more news
than formerly. There was no objec-
ton to the paper in its old garb, of
which we are aware, but, as this is an
era of improvements, and new devel-
opments, the Milford Chronicle as a
progressive journal must keep pace
with the march of events. We believe
this act, on the part of the managers
of the paper will be appreciated by its
subscribers, and the reading public
in general, and secure to them a lar
ger patronage than heretofore.
We are glad to notice that another
correspondent of the Chronicle is to
be married; and another of the en-
ployees at the office is to join the
hymenal corps; and, that the Chron-
icle is not losing any of it's prestige as
a matrimonial factor, and, all this
argues; there is hope for the writer
