this country cf ours never again be
subjected to season of depression
which affects the world at large as
well, but soon and very soon may
we see business going forward at
such rapid pace, giving to all en-
ployment for a long time to come.
New Years is the time when peO-
pie make good resolutions. II Is a
good time to do so. While We can
not penetrate the future, we can
look back over the past year and
see our mistakes and if we would
correct them, it will take strong will
power to leave off those things
which have been troubling us for a
long time, and some time to bring
about this result, we will need to
draw to our aid a power which
comes from above.
We know it is a common practice
at the commencement of the new
year to say that we will not engage
in the drinking of liquor, chewing
and smoking of tobacco. Stop usiDI
prOfane language and hundreds of
other things for which many of the
human family are addicted, but such
resolutions are seldom kept; only a
few are able to so so. Don't wait for
the first of January to roll around
to stop those things which are with
in themselves a disgrace to those
who possess them. Stop at once!
AS we enter the new year may we
look forward to a year of prosperity
to all the people of Delaware and
the country at large as well. May
the farming interest get back to its
former standing; above all may the
churches every where get back to
fINfY. ,ofh rph fhn
church stood for everything good in
any community, and whose influence
was felt among The people at all
times. May the new year bring back
to the church the old time religion
and the old time revivals, which
were such a help in keeping the
sanctrlaries OF the Lord in such
prosperous condition in the times
when our fore parents WOrshipped
in the years past and gone.
Finally we are hoping that the
new year will bring to the force
which is publishing the Milford
Chronicle, the best weekly in Della
ware, and To its readers as well, the
most happy and prosperous new
year in their existence.
ButfheriDG Hogs !
Many of our citizens and farmers
nearby have slaughtered their hogs
the past week; some have been quite
heavy and one especially will be
hard to equal Parker Beebe killed
hog last Saturday which weighed
$40 pounds. Can you beat it? Will
liam Workman killed two which
tipped the scales at 6l9 and 522
pounds. and Isaac Clendaniel killed
two, weighing 447 and AIS. James
Williams killed two weighing 435
and 400. Harry DickersOn killed one
weighing $50 pounds. I
Hogs have done unusually well
this year Most of them have been
large. but the price of pork is so
low il doesn't pay to raise hogs for
profit. For poor people it is kind of
a saving fund in raising hogs for
hoem use as they will find a way to
feed them, otherwise the money
would be spent for other things
which perhaps they could do with
out and at the end of the year,
while the money would have been
spent there would be no hogs to kill :
and they would have to do without
least of sausage, scrapple, spare :
bones and those delicious home
cured hams, which go far in keeping
he larder well filled.
