NEAL OBREIN'S MINSTRELS
WILL PLAY IN MILFORD

Neal OBrein's Minstrels, which is
among the leading troupes in the
country will play in Milford in the
very near future. The contract for
the engagement has been signed by
the Plaza Theatre here and announce
ment of the exact date will be made
at a very near date. The O'Brein's
Minstrels do not play towns as small
as Milford as a general thing; but it
was through the efforts of two of Mil
ford's citizens who know the manage
ment of the show that they were in
duced to sign up to play at the Plaza
Theatre here. The show carries fifty
two persons with it, and has twenty
eight piece band. While the stage at
the Plaza Theatre is the largest in
any theatre south of Wilmington it
is barely large enough to accommo-
date the O'Brein's Minstrels in their
opening act. The troupe carries its
own scenery. The show will stop at
Milford to break its trip from Norfolk
to the northern cities. 1t plays regu-
larly in Wilmington, and each year
many Milford minstrel lovers go to
that city to see the show when it is
playing there.

RURAL MAIL CARRIERS
CONVENE In DOVER

The Rural Mail Carriers Association
of Delaware met last Friday in Dover
Century Club with rs members, in
cluding one or two postmasters. The
main part of the session was taken up
with an address by Mr.. Nichols, of the
PostofIice Department at Washing
ton who had been sent here by H. H.
Billany, Fourth Assistant Postmaster
General to represent the Department.
Mr.. Nichols spoke at some length on
the problems confronting the rural
carriers, complaints made of different
kinds and how all such problems were
received and settled.
1t was agreed to hold the next meet
ing of the Association at Georgetown,
on Labor Day.
Eighteen new members Joined the
association, making the total mem
bership 80, there remaining only
twenty rural carriers in the State not
as yet members. It was urged upon
all to increase the membership by
the next meeting so that the entire
number of rural carriers in the State
might become members of the asso-
citation.

TURN OUT KANSAS
RABBITS in SUSSEX
Charles E. Reed Of Slaughter Neck
Asks Others To Help RestOck
Their Farms With Game.

An effort to restock the farms near
Slaughter Beach in Sussex county
with rabbits, will be made this pres
ent year. Sixty Kansas rabbits have
been bought by Charles E. Reed,
while others have been given to him
by the game warden, to be turned out
on his farm, known as the Campbell
Farm" which consists of several hun
dred acres of woods, cleared and
marsh lands, reaching for nearly two
miles from the Delaware Bay shore.
Mr.. Reed calls upon other farmers
and residents of Slaughter Neck to
help protect the rabbits, so that they
may multiply. If the hunting dogs are
restrained from roaming the woods
and fields, both day and night, from
now until next November, the rabbits
turned out now, should have very
largely restocked that part of Sussex
county contiguous to Slaughter Beach,
so that another season, will afford
some hunting and leave a supply
from which to restock adjoining dis
tricts. It's a pretty poor kind of a
man or woman who will not COOP
crate with efforts to restOck the farms
with wild ame-especially when the
and owner goes to the expense and
trouble to get the breeding stock.

DIR. LOFLAND INJURED
WHEN AUTO UPSETS
Local Physician Narrowly Escaped
Fatal Injuries Near Magnolia
Last Friday Afternoon.

DR.. James PembertOn Lofand, one
of MilfOrd's practicing physicians
was painfully injured last FRIDAY af-
ternOOn when the automobile in which
he was driving turned over and pin
ned him under it. DR.. Lofiand had
been in Wilmington on Friday and
was returning to Milford when the
accident occurred. When nearing
Magnolia, just north of the home of
Frank Soper, the car swerved sud
denly to the left side of the road and
ploughed into a high embankment
The vehicle turned completely over
twice and pinned DR.. LOfand in the
seat. An automobile party following
the Lofand car, stopped and the occu-
pants brought DR.. Lofland to his home
in Milford. Physicians attending him
state that he has a fractured rib and
was badly bruised and cut. An eye
witness to the accident stated that the
car acted as if the steering gear had
broken and wobbled from side to side
before crashing into the embankment.
He also says that the car turned COM
pletely over twice. The car is very
badly damaged. In fact, after looking
at the automobile, a person can but
wonder that the occupant was not in
stantly killed.

FTREMEN CALLED TO
FIGHT FARM FIRE

The Carlisle Fire Company, of Mil
ford, answered an alarm of fire last
Friday morning, for an out-of-town
fire. The blaze was on the farm owned
by Cooke Creadick, of Harrington, and
located near Browns Branch, between
Milford and Harrington. The farm
only recently was purchased by Mr..
Creadick from Pierce Simpson, of
Milford. The place was tenanted by
Elmer Paris. When the Milford fire.
men arrived on the scene of the blaze,
the flames had made such headway
that they were unable to render as
sistance. The dwelling, summer kit
chen and the contents of both build
ings were destroyed. The Paris fam
fly had a very narrow escape from
serious injury or death. They were
awakened by the smoke and had just
reached the outside of the house when
the roof crashed in. Some insurance
on both the building and the contents
was carried by the owners, but not
enough to replace the property de-
strOyed. The Carlisle Fire Company |
made excellent time in reaching the |
farm. Notwithstanding the fact that |
hey were several miles further away
rom the fire than the Harrington
Company, they had been on the scene
several minutes when the Harrington
Company arrived.

MANY PERSONS NOW
PAYING FILING FEE
TaxabIes Are Paying Now In Order
To Avoid The Last Minute
Rush At Tax Offices.
NO BLANKS BEING SENT OUT
All Persons Must Secure The Blanks
Themselves At The Various Of.
fices--March IS Last Date.

Residents of Delaware who are de-
sirOus of avoiding the last minute
rush at the several State Tax Offices
are now filing their income reports
and paying their $500 filing fee which
must accompany the report. In The
years past the offices at Wilmington.
Dover and Georgetown have been
crowded during the last few DAYS. and
it has been almost impossible for the
taXables to make their return. This
was caused by the people waiting un-
til the last minute. This year the
taXables seem to have realized that
they will save themselves ineonveni-
ence by paying their filing fee now
and avoiding the last minute rush.
All State Income Taxes and the fill
ing fee are due March 18th. No extern
sion of time has been given to the
residents of this State this year, and
those who fail to make their return
on or before that date will be subject
to the penalty as provided by laws of
the State, The tax Offices are not
sending out blanks to persons subject
to the filing fee and income TAX. The
taxables can obtain them, however, at
the banks throughout their county, at
the offices of Notary Public and at the
tax offices in each county. Returns
may be made to any of the State Tax
offices; either at Georgetown, Dover
or Wilmington. 1t is better, however, |
that they be made to the Office located |
in the county in which the taxable re-

HAZEL COUNSELMAN
DIES OF HORSE KICK
Small Daughter OF MIR. And Mrs.
Benton COunselman Succumbed
To Injuries Saturday. 4

Hazel Counselman, the foLr-year-
old daughter of Mr.. and Mrs. Benton
COunselman, of Houston, died at the
Milford Emergency Hospital, about
six o'clock last Saturday morning, as
a result of injuries received when she
was kicked by a horse. AS reported in
last weeks issue of The Chronicle,
the child was playing in a field with
the horses at the home of her grand
father, w. M. Pearce, and was kicked
when she struck the horse with a
switch. Immediately following the
accident the child was brought to the
Emergency Hospital where medical
attention was given. The first exam
ination lead the physicians to believe
that the injuries to the child were
not serious, and after the proper at
tention had been given to her she
was allowed to be returned to the
home of her parents. On Friday, how
ever, she suffered relapse and was
again taken to the hospital. In addi-
ton to the staff of physicians con-
nected with the hospital, a specialist
from Philadelphia was called in an
effort to save the life of the little girl. |
Death resulted Saturday morning.
Funeral services were held on Tues
day afternoon, and interment was |
made at Odd Fellows cemetery, Mil |
iord.
