Best Lighted Homes
The Eastern Shore Public Service
Company awarded the following prizes
to Milton householders for best lighted
homes on Christmas night: First prize.
Noah E. Warren second. j. Leon
Black; third, Charles Barker. The
prizes were not awarded for the best
decorated, but for the best lighted. In
our opinion the decorations at the home
of Mr. and Mrs. Clyde Belts on Union
street, were the finest in Milton. Mary
and the Christ Child. the three shep,
herds and a star over all were depicted
at this home. II was very impressive
and received favorable comment from
the many who paused TO see.
