pair Oh uSn hawks were seen
lowering over the waters of the Broad
kill River on Tuesday. These birds
are not due here until late in March
Their appearance is considered as a
harbinger of the approach of Spring
The appearance of this pair at time
when the ground was covered with
snow and the country in the throes of
severe winter weather cannot be ex-
planned.
This section was in the grip of real
winter weather last week. Some of the
farmers being isolated by the deep
drifts of snow and the bad condition
of the road. Snow began to fall here
on Sunday night and continued near
ly all day Monday, and the high winds
that prevailed drifted the snow until
at many points the roads were impas-
sable. Only those farmers living near
the town were able to reach here and
as a consequence business was dead
in Milton. On Wednesday the weather
moderated and the snow melted and
travel was resumed in a short time.
This was only the second snow to COW
er the ground here this winter, De-
warm; all out door work going on
with little interruption; but this storm
has stopped all out door work, such
as wood cutting, trapping and fishing.
The Milton Canning Company re-
ceived twelve hundred bushels of seed
peas on Tuesday, to be distributed
among farmers for growth for the
