HAPPENINGS IN
II AND ABOUT TOWN

Little Wallace F. McFaul, Jr., sol
of Mr.. and Mrs. Wallace F. McFaul
celebrated his third birthday las
Wednesday.
The wet weather has been detri
mental to the tomato crop in this
section. Quite few acres have beer
altogether ruined.
Quite few rabbits have been seeI
along the shore at Milford Neck
These rabbits, it is thought, having
been turned out of here several years
ago, have taken to the sandy street
ches.
The following Milford men re-
turned from one days fishing party
at Slaughter Beach last week, with
go splendid trout: Messers R. H
Jamison, John w. Hallett, Van Nuis
WilkeTson, A. J. Higman, and DR..
Josephs, of Wilmington.
The faithful Circle of Kings
Daughters will hold their first Fall
meeting on Thursday afternoon, Sep
tember 1st, at three o'lock in the
Community Building. 1t is hoped
that every member will be present
as plans for the Carnival are to be
discussed.
A meeting of the International
Sunday School Association will be
held in the Avenue NJ. E. Church,
Milford, on Saturday evening, Au-
gust q, at 7.3O o'clock. All are urged
to attend. An invitation is extended
tn Cedar Creek Hundred Sunday
Schools, also.
There was some sort of party go
ing on in the colored district of Mil
ford, Monday afternoon, judging by
all the hilarity that could be heard
emerging from one of the houses. A
chance passerby found the jazz and
the little colored girl dancers on
nearby porch very entertaining.
A number of trees are being re-
moved on South Second Street, in
order to put in curb line and gut
ter along the street recently built
there. On Friday tree fell against
an electric wire, causing the cleo
trio lights to go out in that vicinity.
But the damage was quickly attend
ed to by Mr.. c. E. Banning.
A benefit bridge and 500 party will
be held next Tuesday evening at the
Nurses Home of the Milford Emer-
gency Hospital, at o'clock, under
the auspices of the Ladies' Auxiliary
of the hospital. The tickets, which
will be sold for so cents, may be
engaged from Mrs. Bess Gillespie. !
There will be prizes and refresh
mentS.
The w. C. T. u. bake is to be at the |
Pierce Hardware Store, Saturday |
morning, Aug. 27, beginning prompt !
ly at $50 o'clock. All the usual good
things bought at bakes can be had. /
The ladies are making special effort .
to make this a successful bake. Don't !
forget time and place. First come,
first served. (Nice cakes a spe-
cialty.)
The Milford Racquet Club is well
patrOnized by it's members, some of
whom are developing into exception
ally good players. One often over
hears a conversation describing
certain girl or man with gorgeous
backhand," or ga very good chop
|
control" Unless one is quite IA
miliar with the terms, there is some
doubt as to the sanity Of the speak
ers.
At the town meeting on Thursday
called by the Chamber of Commerce
to determine whether the people of
Milford wish road built east of Mil
r.k,- <.R I
It was decided to hold mass meet
ing on Thursday night and referen-
dunn on Friday between one and six
at Armory Hall. All taxpayers either
from town or out-of-tOwn are re- {
Quested to vote on the subject be- I
tween these hours. I
Party telephones have their draw /
backs. But there is one family in {
Milford whose phone is so placed t
hat it cannot be heard ringing from l
me of the rooms in the houses. For v
neighbor's phone is on q
he same line and can be
heard when all windows are up. t
When the bell of their phone was out n
# order for some time, this family Il
uffered no loss. So there are some r
:ompensations in a party line! a
A series of parties, each consist o
ng of a luncheon, followed by a g
better health" lecture and an alum +,
mum demonstration, have been con-
.ucted in Milford during the past o,
month by the representative of a
arge aluminium utensil concern. At VI
ach party three names are drawn al
} determine where three future par al
les will be held, with all the lunch
on and labor of cooking, etc., furn- al
she'd by the representative. Among IL
hose fortunate in being able to en-
srtain their friends so easily, have in
cen: Mrs. H. I. Salmons, Mrs. War g,
en-, Mrs. N. M. Stokes, Mrs. Jesse al
egar, Mrs. N. B. Downing, Mrs. W. pC
