Wednesday evening, where funeral ser
vices We're held on Friday afternoon b
the RevS. GiVan and HungerfOrd, an
burial made in odd Fellows cemetery b
( s. j. Wilson & Son. Deceased leaves t
mourn her loss the husband, parents, on
: brother and two sisters besides a hos
Of friends in town and county, who fol
lowed her remains to its last reStin
place. The demise Of this young lady ha
cast a gloom over Milton such as has no
been felt for long time. Young, Drl
liant, viVaciOus, and always cheerful,
can well be said There was garden ii
her face where roses and sweet lille
b,oomed." She had been a teacher il
the public school previous to her mar
riage, and an employee in the Fidelity
Trust and Savings Bank of this town
She was married TO most worthy mar
ON November Both Of last year and en-
jOyed nearly Two months Of married life
when death claimed he. She was
member of the Milton NJ. E. Church ana
I a Sunday school worker. The writer has
known her all her life ana it can truth
fully be said thai she was lady in all
that the word implies without the vices
that attach to many Her amiablity was
proverbial and her charming life may
well be copied by the young friends she
has left behind None knew her but to
love her; none named her but to praise. "
IL has been said. Death loves a shining
/ mark" and i'll this instance the grim
! monster did not miss his aim. II is sad
/ to part with one who was so endeared to
! the heart OF the community But the
/ parents and friends Of their loved one
must not think Of her as dead but as
! tranSplanted from world OF care into
the bright elysium of an eternal existence
freed from the tomb the cares OF life and
| its nOncomtant evils.
''There is no death; what seems to is
transition
! This life Of mortal breath
Is but a suburb of the bright elysium
Whose portals we call death
The Chautauqua will visit Milton on

Mrs. Annie Conrad has removed from
Federal street to Mill street.
Charles Vent and wife, temporarily re-
siding at Pennsgrove, n. j. are visiting
in Milton.
Leroy H. Johnson has about recovered
from a severe illness.
Mrs. Hattie J. Wagamon is convalescing
from an attack Of what appears to have
been the influenza in mild form.
AdOlDhus Johnson, engaged a PennS-
grove, n. j., was home attending the fu-
neral OF his brothers wife on Friday
George W. Jones was in town on Thurs
day, as he often is. We are always pleas
ed TO meet Mr.. Jones as he always ap-
pears to be in the best of humOr and
happy; and we love to meet happy peo-
pie. Mr.. Jones says he reads the Milford 1
Chronicle and takes pleasure in perusing
the letters from Glendale and Milton, !
and if he does go to sleep at times read !
ing them it is not from lack of interest
tributed to other conditions.
A Farmers Institute was held in the F
school hail on Friday. There We're but
few farmers present. Milton contains but .
few farmers other than those satisfied (
and they appear to have lost interest in /
their farming business and those who are /
yet engaged in the business in the busi- /
ness We're mostly absent from this meet
ing.
The electric wires extending from Mil
ton to LaYina Camp Ground are almost .
all down and the poles are broken off with
the ground The wires are now trailing
along the sidewalks and appear to be
dangerous, especially at night. Should
team or automobile become entangled in
these wires the consequences might be
dreadful. They should be taken care Of
by whOsOever they may belong to- And
we notice that the OVerseer Of the road,
just outside OF town, near the camp
ground has been putting some dirt on
the road near the bridge. \ very COM
mendable idea.
Milton streets need a supervisor, or at I
least the streets need repairing badly.
Town Council also wants supervisor for
the streets but no one appears to want
the job Milton also needs public pump
)r hydiaut. If a lady comes to town
with little child and said child gets al
most Chokeu eating cake, she has no
,hanCe Of getting a drink Of water W. shout
going to "a private residence for it. In
he days of the saloons there were two
public pumps-or one pump and one well .
and although they may have been profit

an advantage 10 the town. Let us have
