Spring Has Arrived.

You greet us, Spring,
With chilly mitt,
But you are here
We're glad of it,
You'll warmer grow
As you advance,
And give the seeds
And bulbs a chance.
Soon you will smile
And act real nice;
Then Wen quit coal
And take in ice.
And we viii beat
The parlor rugs
And put in screens
To keep out bugs.
And on some day
Both warm and fair,
Some folks will don
Light underwear
And catch a cold
And stay home sick
Because they made
The change too quick.
And close at hand
Are now the days.
When folks a crop
VIII try to raise
In backyard plots.
And nail up Stats
To try and keep
Out dogs and cats.
So welcome. Spring
And though you're chill
We soon shall see
The daffodil,
And violets
And other plants,
And pesky flies
And hungry ants.

Is 1T TILGHMAN?

The Tilghmans have for genera
tlons been established in Maryland.
where the family was founded by
DR.. Richard Tilghman. who came
from London, IN 1850. Il was he
who built the famous Tiighman
homestead in Queen Anne county.
calling Il the hermitage" He
married a daughter OF Colonel
Phineas Lloyd. Since that time
there have been several inter-
marriages between the Lloyd and
Tllghman families and In two or
three cases intermarriages between
cousins or second cousins bearing
the name Tilghman.
Matthew Tilghrnan. who was
born at the Hermitage" in 1918.
was a grandson OF this DR.. Richard
Tilghman. Matthew married his
cousin. Anna Lloyd. He was a
member of the Continental Con-
gress, but failed 20 be a signer Of
the Declaration OF independence
because of the importance in which
ne was held by his fellow colonists.
Just previous TO the signing he was
sent as a delegate TO Annapolis to
frame a State constitution and acted
as president OF that convention.
In the meantime the Declaration ofl
independence was adoped without
his sigature. This Matthew Thigh
man mas been called the Patriarch
