ON DEDICATION DAY

Postmasters Usilton and Radcliffe
of Chestertown and Cambridge, re-
spectively, were present at the dedi-
cation of the new post office building
Thursday of last week in this city.
Mr.. Usilton was of the opinion that
the architectural appearance of the
local building did not compare with
that of the one in his town; but, Of
course, that was only the result of his
extreme loyalty to everything Ches-
tertonian in particular and Kent
County in general.

cure their names, which u regretted.

the parade coming to rest before the
stand erected in front of the building.
The program was in charge of Hon.
T. Alan Goldsborough who presented
the Rev. Mr.. Lester, pastor of Beth
any NJ. P. Church. Mr.. Lester open
ed the exercises by an invocation, at
ter which came the presentation of
