Milford chronicle., 1930-07-11

ham, cheese and tomatoes, pickles
of all kinds; coffee made in per-
colator which knew how to perco-
late and was hot and was what was
needed to warm us up. Cakes of sew
eral kinds which made a meal am
pie for any one to enjoy; we were
in a mood to attack and land many
of the larger fish which we pro-
ceeded to do.
We occupied the boats and swung
out in the pond. We tralled for quite
a while, when our host had a strike
and landed a choppie. bass about a
foot long, and so it continued one
round of excitement until our host
had captured seven of the larger
fish and the writer had captured
five. When we concluded we had all
that was needed for home use, we
prepared to return to the cabin and
get ready for home which we did.
We found the ladies ready with
everything packed; we proceeded to
climb those long row of steps which
taxed the wind of all present.
AS we went along we noticed
lean hound dog following us, and as
we had some of the handwiches left
we tried to fill the hungry animal
full. We first tried him with a ham
sandwich which he pronounced good
and then a cheese sandwich and he
gulped it down without a murmur,
and finally when we gave him a to-
oI, fhnIIOhf t1At
would stint him, but not SCATTER
eating seven of those sandwiches he
followed us to the automobiles ask
ing for more.
We regretted leaving the pond as
everything was so pretty and the
flowers and trees were so lovely but
the time had come when we must
go and so we started on our home
ward march.
AS the host took over new route
we passed through Mt. Pleasant,
Kirkwood and Red Lion. Everything
seemed to be prosperous and far
mers were busy getting their ground
in shape for future crops.
We remember being told by our
host that a long line of farms we
passed by belonged to a family by
the name of Cannon. They were all
fertile and the herds of cattle and
horses seemed to speak of prosper
ity.
We arrived at the home of our
host and hostess about six O'Clock
and found that the servants had
dinner ready for us, which we pro-
ceeded to eat and proceeded to the
living room where we engaged IN
conversation until ten o'clock when
we retired so as to get up early and
return to our home in old Sussex
county the following morning.
After a good nights rest and hav-
ing eaten a hearty breakfast we bid
our friends goodbye, promising to
come again at the first opportunity
After a quick run down the State
taking note of many improvements
we failed to see coming up and STOP
ping only in Milford few minutes
we arrived in Glendale at 10 a. m
having finished one of the most
remarkable trips in our existence.
We were glad to get home once
more but whenever we remember
with what kindness we were sc
/ heartily treated-its creates a long
ing to soon be with our friends once
more.
i Wheat TreShing
Wheat threshing is in full swing
, this week.
The crop will prove much better
than at first supposed.
The price is very low. One of the
most progressive farmers in Slaugh
ter Neck told the writer that he haC
only been offered seventy-five cents
per bushel for his crop, which is
large one. This price will not pa!
the farmer for producing it.
The poor farmers are having hare
luck. Nothing they seem to raise will
produce any profit whatever. Th'
writer remembers, when quite
small boy, he used to ride the horses
at what was called at that tim'
wheat treading."
The ground was put in shap'
something like an old time circus
