Milford chronicle., 1928-10-12

Tee moved to Dover last week. anu
the property he vacated is already
occupied by George Jester. Warren
Lynch will move to Wilmington,
and his property will be occupied by
o. T. Roberts, a railway mail clerk.
The property vacated by Mr.. Roberts
will be occupied by Mr.. Shockley,
railroad man. The vacant property
left by Mr.. ShOckley has been sought
by two or three prospective renters.
At this time there are very few new
homes under construction. With
the transfer of several more rail-
road men here it looks as if renting
homes will be at a premium.
Fl. E. Girls Have Fine Exhibit
Building Program Deferred
In order that the general public
and friends interested in the work
of school girls may get some idea of
the work that is being accomplished,
arrangements have been made to
place their exhibits in the store Win
dow of Preston Browns meat mar
ket. The display is divided into
three groups as follows: First, pre-
serves, pickles and jellies made by
the second year girls; second, can
ned tomatoes, peaches and beets
by both open kettle and cold pack
method, done by first year girls. Pat
rOns of the school should make an
effort to view this exhibit, which
gives the girls and their instructor
more encouragement, always re-
membering that the girls of today
are the housewives of tomorrow.
Then, too, remember that Miss
Thelma Buell., home economics in
structor, is always glad to welcome
visitors to her department at any
time. On Thursday of this week,
Miss Buell. will take the Sophomore
group on shopping trip to Milford.
The girls are about to select the
materials for their wool dresses
which will be started next week.
This idea was planned to give the
girls real experience in planning
and buying so that they will be more
capable of judging materials and
prices.
Quarterly Conference
The End and 9rd quarterly confer
ence of the M. e. Church was held
Monday evening, with District Su-
perintendent DR.. w. E. Gunby pre-
siding. One of the chief matters of
business was the new educational
and it was decided to de-
fer the erection of the building until |
spring. Rev. Collins is now closing
his fifth year as pastor of the local /
and at this meeting was
invited to return for |
the next Conference year.
Farmers Busy
Farmers in this locality are very ,
busy at present time endeavoring To |
catch up with work caused by the !
rainy period. So much rain fell that |
wheat seeding is about three weeks
behind, though during the past week !
of excellent weather, by working
early and late, they have been able /
to regain some lost ground. Then
many of the farmers with large
forces of men are now in the midst
Of one of the largest sweet potato
crops ever recorded in this section.
Only one accurate report thus far
has been announced. Roy Jackson,
residing a short distance from this
town, had out thirteen acres and
has finished digging, from which he
harvested 6,170 baskets of primes,
besides the smaller potatoes. He is
storing his crop in large potato
houses on the farm awaiting an adj
7ance in the market. Several other
armers in this vicinity are getting
good yields but have not finished
heir work as yet. n
