FIRST NATIONAL BANK
INCREASED BUSINESS
Stockholders Told That Earnings
Were Largest In Banks History

Stockholders of the First National
Bank & Trust Company of Milford
heard a report of excellent progress
on the part of that bank when they
met at. their annual meeting on
Tuesday. The report as submitted
to the owners of stock in the insti-
tuition showed that the bank has
closed the best year in its history.
1t showed that for the six months
ending December 81, 1881, the gross
earnings exceeded any previous six
months in the history of the bank.
This was gratifying information to
the stockholders, and was pleasant
ly received by the citizens of Mil
ford.
After deducting depreciation on
the bank building and furniture and
fixtures, and reserving a sufficient
amount to pay the regular dividend,
a very substantial amount was plac-
ed to undivided profits.
The same officers were elected for
the year 1882. They are: President.
Daniel Hirsch; first vice president,
I. Dolphus Short; second vice pres
ident, John w. Herring; secretary to
board, John c. Truitt; cashier and
trust officer, Wallace F. McFaul.

MILFORD SCHOOL NURSE
GIVES DEC. REPORT
There We're Fifty-six Minor Injuries
Among Pupils For The Month

At the monthly meeting of the

for the month of December was re-
ceived from the school nurse, Mrs.
Louise C. Farrow.
During the month of December
there were Sc minor injuries
among the school children of the

der was broken during some outdoor

was X-rayed and set; one dislocated
shoulder was taken to a physician
to be reduced; one pupil suffering
from a contagious eye condition

count of various illnesses. In addi-
ton to all of these, sixteen (16)

SUSSEX LEVY COURT
MAY REDUCE TAXES
POnders Decrease At Expense OF
County Improvements

The Sussex County Levy Court is
considering reducing the county
taxes from the present rate of
eighty cents on each $100 Of asses
sed valuation.
Although the amount by which
the taxes would be reduced has not
definitely been decided, many who
oppose any reduction contend that
cutting of the tax rate would seri-
ously handicap road construction
work and necessary maintenance
work in the county during the next
year.
r. C. Hill, county engineer for
Sussex county, appeared last week
before the Rotary Club in George
town to present facts and figures y
aid the club in determining what
stand it will take on the proposal
to cut the tax rate.
Mr.. Hill argued neither for nor
against the proposal, stating that he
attended the meeting only to aid
the club to determine what its pol
icy will be.
The assessed valuation of proper
ty subject to taxation by the county
now stands at 3S,O00,OO0. The pres
ent tax rate yields the count yabont
S3O4,OOO. OF this amount 561A per
cent goes to the county highway de-
partment for new road construction

There has beeR much interest
shown by the towns of lower Della

from Philadelphia to Cape Charles,
by using Route 113 from Dover,
through Milford, Georgetown, Sell

through Harrington, Salisbury, etc.
Mr.. DeLysle, vice president of the

ton, and Rotarian, was the speak
er at the Rotary meeting Monday.
Mr.. DeLysle explained the bene-
fits that the towns on the coast
would derive by having the bus
lines follow Route 113. Milford be-
ing the largest town on Route 113
between Dover and Pocomoke was
urged to cooperate with the High
way Association in having the route

Second Ward Council Can
didate Says His Stand
Is Misinterpreted
IS FOR ALL PEOPLE

John Mayhem, who will announce
himself a candidate for one of the
seats in Council from the Second
Ward at the annual Town Meeting
tonight, has asked the Chronicle to
correct a statement which appeared
in this paper last week to the effect
that he expected the aid of the poll
ticians to elect him to office.
The Chronicle gladly makes this
correction, for we do not want to
injure any man in his run for
Council. We believe, however, that
a statement of the facts as they pre-
sented themselves is worthy of pub
lie notice. The writer of last weeks
article, who is also writing this,
was stopped by Mr.. Mayhem on the
street and asked what he knew
about the situation so far as it ef-
fected the Town elections. He was
told frankly, that so far as the wri-
ter was concerned that we believe
that it is to the best interests of the
City of Milford that two members of
the Light and Water Board, four of
whom reside in the Second Ward
should be returned as members of
Council because of their experience
in the management of this impor-
tant piece of city property. Follow
ing this expression on our part, Mr..
Mayhem said that he expected to
announce himself q candidate for
Council. He further stated that in

Governor In Speech

CONDEMNS DRY LAW

Governor Ritchie, of Maryland,
last Thursday night became an
avOwed candidate for the Demo
cratic presidential nomination with
the simple declaration:
"Of course l would like TO be
President; who would not ."
The Ritchie announcement came
after numerous speakers at a BAN
quet arranged in the Governor s
honor by the Concord Club at Balti-
more had referred to him as the
logical man to lead the Democratic
drive for control of the Federal Gov
ernment next November.
Included among those who favor
ed Ritchie for the presidency was
John Hemphill, Philadelphia Demo-
cratic leader, whose remarkable
race for the governorship of that
overwhelming Republican State in
1880 leads the Ritchie followers to
hope the Pennsylvania delegation at
the Democratic National Convention
will be lined up behind the Mary
land Governor.
Hemphill, Mayor Jackson of Bal
timore, Richard Cleveland, son oil
the former President, and other
speakers built up the "We-Want-
Ritchie" atmosphere in a series of
brief talks. Hemphill promised his
listeners that if the Democrats
nominated Ritchie the party would
carry Pennsylvania.
"And he is the only Democrat is
the United States who can do il"
Hemphill added.
Senator Walsh, of Massachusetts,
generally allied with the Smith
wing of the national Democracy,
made a speech lauding the Mary
land Governor without stint, but
with an apparently studiOus avoid
ance of committing himself to the
Ritehie candidacy. Walsh,s refer
ences to former Governor Smith and
similar references by other speak
ers drew applause almost as spon-
taneous and hearty as that accorded
Ritchie himself.
1t was a typical Maryland turnout
for the popular fOur-term Governor.

acquaintance throughout tie State
