Lost His Thumb Nail.

Fremont Anderson will remember
the recent coal strike we are think
ing. A farmer brought in a load OF
wood and Mr.. Anderson assisted him
in swinging the rear OF the hobs
around so it could be unloadel
easier, and in doing so the thumb
on his right hand got caught in the
corner of the hobs and the entire
nail on the thumb was ripped off as
slick and clean as if done with a
surgeons knife. 1t has proved a
mighty painful accident and Ere
mont has been compelled to carry
his hand in a sling a good share OF
the time.

NEW YEARS DAY.
Completion of Another Milestone
Notable Event in The Life of
Man.

Human instinct from earliest time
has made much of the beginning OF
a new year. The completion of an
other milestone is a notable event
in the life of a man or a nation.
One is reluctant to see the years
slip into the shadow without MAX
ing some note of their passage.
Harrased by trials and drudgery.
many people are glad to see the old
year go, and look on to the new
period without much pleasure. If
one has the right attitude, the star
of hope should always be shining
along the pathway ahead, even il
the clouds linger over present
scenes.
Each year ought to bring new
gifts and experience and achieve
ment.
The wayfarer has paid down one
year of his life, and if he has been
wise he has made old Father Time
give him some fruitions in return.
he will not wish to live over the
past, but he will look ahead conf
dent that he can avoid some previ-
Gus mistakes, and attain results
previously out of reach.
CHEEKY hearted people like to
laugh at the passing years, and show
that they are just as young as ever.
In these droughty times, New Year
will not be the halcyon and voci-
ferrous time of yore. But people
will find that they can celebrate
without creating the raw material
for sick headache. The dancing
crowd will feel that the dramatic
moment of midnight adds new
zcst to their frolicsome feet.
In silent churches and many quiet
homes. waiting hearts will listen
for the booming bells that announce
one more journey completed around
the great circle. In these thought
ful scenes the mind seems to rise
above the limitations of earth and
to realize the vastness of the uni
verse. God will be thanked for
many mercies. The heart will cheer
fully OPEN the door to the yelled
unseen that lies beyond.

Popular Young Couple Welded.


The marriage of Miss Ruth Cert
rude Dinger to Mr.. Robert a.
Smoot was solemnized at st. Bene-
diets Catholic church in this city
last Friday morning at nine o'clock.
The marriage ceremony was per-
formed by Rev. Father Hogan. The
young couple had no attendants.
A wedding dinner was served at
the home of the brides parents to
about sixteen relatives and friends.
The bride is daughter of Mr..
and Mrs. John Dinger who reside
north of the city, and is a charming
and talented young lady, possessed
CT many graces, which has endeared
her to large number of friends.
For several years past she has been
a popular and efficient milliner and
it was while at Jefferson, Iowa,
where she had a position that she
met her husband.
The groom is the district manager
of the Consumers Service Station
Inc, of Rock Island, III. and his
headquarters are at Paducah, Ken
lucky. He has charge of the build
ing of gas service stations. Those
who had the pleasure of his ac-
quaintance speak of him in high
eegrity.
Mr.. and Mrs. Smoot departed on
Saturday night for Chicago, where
they will remain until after New

That Little Brown Church" Again.

The following item has appeared
in number of the papers in north
ern Iowa: "A movement has been
started in Northern Iowa to raise a
fund of voluntary contributions for
purchasing guide posts to mark the
roads leading to The Little Brown
Church in the Vale" at Bradford,
Chickasaw county. There. are a num-
Der of different roads in the vicinity,
and as it is two miles to the nearest
station, Nashua. There is a decided
need for crate road marks to
guide thousand of visitors to the his
toric church Many of the visitors are
in that region for the first time, and
many come long distances to see the
church or hold services or for mar
riage ceremonies, as it is fast be-
coming the leading mecca OF the
state of cupid. In the past six
months over 10000 visitors have
been to the church and many mar.

VOW THAT THE BOYS ARE HOME

The arrival of many of the men who
have been with the American Army
in Europe brings back to friends and
acquaintances men who have had Won
derful experiences, which when told
seem like dreams TO those of us who
have been at home during this great
war time. Such men as David Pruitt,
and others who were actively engaged
in the air fighting. can interest for
hours those who would listen atten-
lively to recitals of their life eXper-
fences during the past two years. Then
there are many others, soldiers in the
Army and Navy, who have recollections
which will do great good to be repeated
to those who have been unable 10 re-
alize the conditions of the great war
as experienced by these men. Let us
get these men to meet with the men
and women of Milford in the State
ArmOry some evening, and in their
own good way recite the history of
their experiences. The Milford ChrOn-
icle will pledge the publicity, and Col
Onel Townsend will see that the Ar
mory is available for this meeting, or
series of meetings. but it will require
the efforts of the many friends of these
soldiers who have been in the war,
to get them to contribute the real
story, to instruct and enlighten the
people and make them realize the great
espOnsibilities we sustained during
the war.

SUSSEX LEVY COURT

At a meeting of the Sussex County
Levy Court last Tuesday afternoon
the following cOnstables were chosen
for the year: Nathaniel J. Stuart, Mil
ford; Charles T. Gray, Bridgeville
Frank P. Dawson, Seaford; Minos B
Hearn, Laurel; James B. Hudson
FrankfOrd; William T. Hudson, Sell
byville; George H. Wharton, Millville;
Charles T. Jester, Georgetown; Thos.
NJ. Fowler, Milton; Frank E. Johnson,
Lewes.
in the future all of the county off
Gals will be required to fill out blank
whenever a telephone call is made in
order that trace may be kept of calls
on official business and calls that are
made on private business.
A delegation from Little Creek hun
dred appeared before the Court and
asked tor improvements to road
about two miles in length extending
from the farm of Mrs. Susan Beach
10 the farm of John Henry The abut-
ting property owners have obligated to
donate one third of the construction
cost. AS the funds in that district at
the presen time are low, it was deemed
advisable BY the Levy Court to aban-
don the idea at this time. Later in the
year, possibly in the summer, when the
tax money begins to come in to the
county treasurer, the proposition Will
be given consideration, and it IS likely
that the road will be built.

receive a proper education that will
fit them for the battle of life
Mr. Anderson further stated that the
State should compel the parents to
send their children to school during
the school year, even though the par
ents did not want to do so. Also that
il was reasonable to expect the State
to spend as much money at least on
the education of our children as is
spent on our roads.
Mr.. Shilling devoted his time to an
swering inquiries made by interested
persons in the audience. which in
quiries showed that the subject under
discussion was being given earnest
thought by the thinking people of this
community and elsewhere as we'll.
While there was doubt as to the real
feeling of those present toward the
proposed legislation, it was moved and
seconded that a vote be taken to de-
termine the exact proportion for and
against the measure. with the result
that a standing vote showed 95 for
and only 2 against the proposed re-
vision.
1t was further decided to transmit
to the Senators and Representatives
from this section an account of the
meeting so that they would be en-
cOuraged by knowing that the senti-
ment is overwhelmingly in favor of
giving Delaware children equal OppOr-
tunity with the children of every other
State in the Union.
