Milford chronicle., 1923-06-22

The citizens Of LeWes were sorry to
hear the news last week that the
Maryland, Delaware and Virginia Rail-
road, which operates between LeWes
and Love Point, will after June "a, be
discontinued. from Owens Station to
LeWes. This Of course means that the
town of Milton, one Of the most pro-
gressiVe little towns in the State, will
be cut entirely off of any railroad
communication whatever. The nearest
railroad station being Ellendale,
which is six miles away. It is expect
ed that Milton citizens will at once get
their steamboat corporation going
which they have been talking about
since the sale Of the railroad recently.
1t is the opinion of many of the bust
ness men in this section that their
proposed steamboat line between Mil
ton, LeWes and Philadelphia, will be
good paying proposition.
The past three damp and rainy days
which have prevailed in this vicinity
have been highly appreciated by the
farmers for setting out their tomato
and sweet potato plants. Many of the
farmers had to reset their entire to-
matO patches owing to the fact that
the gale wind which passed over here
last Saturday simply beat and whipped
them to pieces. Many of the patches
were in good shape until the wind
came.
Fire, of unknown origin, broke out
in one of the shacks for hired help,
near A. F. AndersOn's cannery here
at One-thirty o'clock last week, and
completely destroyed it. The fire
company responded promptly, but it
had gotten so much headWay that it
was impossible to save it.
