Milford chronicle., 1930-05-02

two days sickness in the Beebe Hos
pital, Lewes, cast a gloom over this
community. DR.. Jones had quite a
number of patients in this town,
where he had been coming for years.
He will be sadly missed.
H. W. Jester commenced on Mon
day the erection of a dwelling on the
lot on Main street, where his former
home was destroyed by fire, two
years ago. We understand the pres
ent structure to be erected will be
more up to date in every way than
his former home was, though it was
considered one of the handsOmest
residences in the town.
William H. Workman, contractor,
of Milton, has the work in charge.
On Thursday morning Of the past
week we had snow, frost and ice.
The damage to growing vegetables
was heavy. Potatoes that were up
were killed and the patches had to
be replanted. The damage to the
fruit crop it will take some days to
estimate.
Edwin Rust and family moved on
Monday from the Jester property on
East Main street to Bridgeville
where they will make their future
home. We are very sorry to lose
these people from our town. In
church work they were always will
ling to help and we cordially rec
ommend them to the Christian peo-
pie of Bridgeville.
A. Smith, the agent for the Rural
New Yorker, seems to have great
success in getting subscribers for
that valuable paper. From the num-
ber Of copies of the paper carried
each week by rural carriers it would
seem that Mr.. Smith has nearly sue
ceeded in placing a copy of this
great. help to the farmer in every
home on his route.

Church News
The Church School Sunday NOR
ming was not as well attended as 1t
should have been. It was a beautiful
day and instead of 76 there should
have been 100 scholars present. The
title of the lesson "Giving Up All
For the Kingdom" This was story
of a rich young man who came to
Christ and asked Him what ne
should do to inherit eternal life. The
Master repeated to him several OF
the commandments which the young
man said he had kept from his youth
I'D. Then He said to him, If thou
would be perfect, go sell that which
thouh asst, and give to the poor, and
thou shall have treasure in heaven.
Come and follow me. But the young
man went away sorrOwful for ne
was one that had great possessions.
The discussion in the class brought
forth the truth, that men in this day
will sacrifice character and sink be-
low the brutes of the field to enable

ed more than their share OF this
worlds goods in an unlawful man
ner, that sorrow and heartache that
generally follows this way of accu-
mulating riches. No one who by su-
perior skill robs his fellow man, and
takes that which should remain MS
