through which the parade marched.
The procession started at the north
end of Union street and marched
thence to Front, to Federal, passing
the judges stand in front of Fisher
Brothers store, to the carnival
grounds. The judges were DR..
Lever, of Baltimore, William Hobbs
of Georgetown, and Frank B. Carey,
of Milton. The decisions of the
judges and the prizes awarded were
as follows: Company coming long
est distance, Parsonburg, Nd, S15-
90; Company with most men in line,

Apte Brothers cannery is now in
the midst of the tomato canning sea-
son. The Draper cannery is packing
both tomatoes and lima beans. The
tomato crop in this section is about
forty per cent short of full one,
owing to heavy rains knocking off
the early blossoms and young fruit,
but the quality of this product is
above the average. The same con-
ditions caused the early planted
lima beans to be very short in pro-
ductiOn. At this time the later
planted crops are coming into fruit
ion and the yield is very satisfac-
tory, both as to quantity and quail
ity. These plants are giving en-
ployment to hundreds of men and
women and an increase in the mer-
camille business of the town is
noticeable.

scended upon Milton and vicinity
and are making it decidedly unpleas-
ant for the residents. Cattle on the
marshes near the bayshOre are suf-

in myriads and are kept
busy fighting them off until the sun
rises well above the horizon.
