BOHEMIAN, Dec. 3.-While Mon

In Bridal Attire

The rectory of certain church is
the scene of an unusual number of
weddings due perhaps to the popular

service he reads, which impresses the
couple being married with the solemn

On a recent occasion the minister
saw IN amused look on the face Of the
bridesmaid, one almost bordering on

Shows Progress of Time.

Twenty-Five years ago this last
Thanksgiving the Odd Fellows of Lib
by gave their first annual ball in a
little hall "a so. and about thirty
couples participated. The music con-
sisted of a two piece orchestra. We
have never failed to give our annual
ball on Thanksgiving night since that
time, and the crowd has been larger
ever year. This last Thanksgiving we
had two four piece orchestras and two
halls going full blast by eleven o'clock.
About two hundred couples partici-
pated. This shows the public conf
dencei the Odd Fellows and Rebekahs
have gained by their good work in this
community
The committee wishes to extend
thanks to the public for their liberal
patronage in the past.

From our investigation, we are for
ced to the conclusion that sometimes
there is a lack of nourishing food.
"As to the Jail and its surround
ings, we wish to repeat and empha-
size the recommendations made by
many preceding grand juries, name
ly: That the present Jail property
be abandoned and a modern build
ing be erected at or near the Coun-
ty Almhouse, under the provisions
of the statutes of this State enact.
ed about fourteen years ago. We are
convinced that no occupant of the
sheriff's office has done more in the
care of the prison than the pres
ent sheriff, Mr.. Coy.
"The physical conditions at the
Jail are such, however, that it is
humanity impossible to keep all Of
the premises sanitary or comfort
able. We consider the present jail a
to Georgetown, and dis
grace to modern civilization, and in
our opinion no language can be too.
strong in condemnation of existing
conditions.
1--WE found about forty prisoners
crowded into four rooms, without
toilets, running water or other san
itary necessities. We found black
and white, hardened criminals and
first offenders crowded together. We
think such conditions are especially
bad for young men and boys who
have violated the law for the first
time.
"These conditions, we think are.
a decided detriment to possible pe-
and, as citizens of the
county as well as members of the
Grand Inquest, we cannot too
urge that the deplorable-
conditions at the Jail be remedied
as speedily as possible"

Why not they?'

Why not they?"
Cnrlst's birthday will soon be
here again. Our greatest happiness
is derived at Christmas time, by
making others happy. What a won
derful Christian spirit it would show
if every church in the State of Del
aware would appoint a committee to
solicit the community, and appeal to
every individual, to give one cent
for each and every year old he or
she is, and use the proceeds to buy
an entire new outfit for the inmates
of the county houses, to be given to
them at Christmas time.
There will be a committee COM
posed of Superintendent McFarlin,
Superintendent Jones and Rev.
Schelhouse, to select the clothing
and try if possible to buy it at
wholesale price. There will be a
complete statement in the local pa
pers, giving the amount of money
received, and the amount expended.
The receipts sent in from each
county will be kept separate; so
that the inmates will derive the ben
eft contributed by the county.
Kindly send in your collection to
Laura c. Walls, Lincoln, Delaware,
by December 10, so as to give the
committee ample time to purchase
the clothing for Christmas gifts. I
thank you.

Mr. Alfred I. DUPONT states:
The ministers have a powerful in
fiuence in the State of Delaware, in
helping to make conditions better.
The State is naturally religious, and
If the facts were known. it (no
doubt) has a higher percentage of
church attendance than most states.
The minister (and the church as a
whole), should endeavor to impress
upon the people, and particularly
the young folks, the responsibility
which rests upon them, in looking
to the care of older people.
Most people are naturally kind
hearted, but very few realize the
conditions in which many of our
old people are forced to live. Not
one (perhaps in thousand) has
ever been inside Of an almshouse, or
their interest would have been
aroused long ago, that the inmates
should be made as happy and COM
Portable as possible.
It is the bringing out of the facts
before the people, that is so impor-
tant, so that Delaware may see the
real need of an entire change in
our present system in caring for
the aged.

the efficient superintendent and his

mates at the Almshouse, and in our
opinion it is impossible for the su-
perintendent and matron to give
them individually the care they de-
serve; and we recommend that the
Trustees of the Poor employ at least
one additional attendant whose sole
duty it will be to look after the in
mates, with special attention given
to several who are practically help
less. In our opinion, this is an i'm
perative need, as many Of the in
mates seem to be badly neglected.

MILFORD, FRIDAY, NOV. 20, 1872!
THE CHRISTMAS RUSH

Every newspaper should remind
its readers that they would serve
their own convenience, and save a
great deal of trouble, if they would
buy their Christmas gifts at once,
and send them by the mails or other
wise at the earliest possible date.
The agitation for early Christmas
buying has somewhat distributed the
strain created by the old holiday
rush. But holiday buying has so
greatly increased, that store clerks,
postal employees, and others who han
die this rush, probably have just as
hard a time as ever for a week or
two before the holiday.
The way the American people have
piled work on these folks has been
simply inhuman. It is all done
thoughtlessly, but none the less it
has been grossly inconsiderate. For
hundreds of thousands Of them, the
week before the holiday is period of
intense strain from which they may
not recover for weeks. Some always
get sick from overwork.
1t seems a most incongruous per-
formance, to take holiday which
was created to celebrate the Chris
tian message of peace and good will,
and make it a period when there is
no peace for the people who have to
handle this rush, and when so little
good will is shown them.
There are plenty of perfectly good
reasons why it is for the interest of
all of us to buy and send this mer-
chandise early.
But let us here in Milford consider
also an unselfish motive, and in the
spirit of friendliness which should
characterize the Christmas season,
try to make this holiday one Of hap
piness for all who have to handle
the gift business. If we will but
start in at once to do our buying,
and get the presents off at very
early date, we will have done our
share to bring peace and good will
to a lot of people who previously
have not had it.

RAILROAD IMPROVEMENT

Executives of leading railroads
have promised President Hoover that
they will carry on big program OF
railroad improvement during the
coming year. This will not merely
keep a lot of people busy, but it Will
make the country's business macnlne
work still more efficiently.
If the railroads keep on making
improvements, they will move freight
across the country still more rapid
". And when freight moves 1ast'
goods reach the dealer more prompt
". and he can get along with small
or stocks and order more frequently,
thus saving some of the expense OF
tving capital up in stock EVery
time a railroad improves the faciii-
ties for doing it's work, the countrys
machine does its WORK Will
less waste.
