Thirty Years Ago
Taken from the 1909 Files of
the Milford Chronicle

The members of the Rod and Gun
Club of Milford had results beyond
their most sanguine hopes when they
took the field Tuesday in their
friendly contest for game. The two
parties returned with the greatest
collection of game ever seen in Mil
ford, possibly in all Delaware. as the
result of one days shooting. The
winning side was that of J. Russell
Evans. who topped Captain Meeker
by 81 points. The club, with its in
vited guests, sat down to a banquet
prepared from this game on Wednes-
day evening, at the Windsor Hotel.
The menu contained ten different
kinds of game, all of which had been
shot the previous day by the gun
ners. Col. Townsend acted as toast
master The speakers were at their
best. and the addresses of DR.. ]. S.
Prettyman, DR.. G. W. Marshall, Geo.
B. Hynson. Dr. c. W. Reid and Will
liam Pennewill, of Dover, received
very liberal applause. The music
was furnished by a quartette COM
posed of Charles ]. HolZmueller,
Darwin S. Collins, John Horton and
ROBERT L. Hall.
Isaac A. White and wife have re-
turned from a visit with their daugh-
ter in Wilmington.
Early on Sunday morning last the
NJ P. Church at Georgetown was en-
tirely consumed by fire, which had
its origin between the ceilings from
a defective flue. The church cost
about $4,000. and was insured for
$1,000.
(From the Glendale letter of Paul
Pry): Glendale has been blessed
with an abundance of religious effort
for three weeks past, which we hope
will strike deep enough into the town
authorities to have them enforce the
laws. Special meetings have been
crowned with success, as over 80
have professed repentance of sins,
and found peace in the grace of God.
One of these was a confirmed and
habitual liar, with every known in
habit, and most profane
character. Since he has changed,
lies. whisky, and oaths have been
scarce, and it is a great change for
the better in the community. On
night speaker from Wash
ington.. d. c., talked on ''The Moral
Side of Society" and her language
was touching and impressive, many
eyes showing tears. To all this a
new sect, or denomination of re-
ligiOn has sprung up here, and its
advocates are travelling around fill
ing the homes with literature to
prove that they are the only true
of the Bible, and to wor-
ship their way is the only source of
Heaven.

Do you ever read Charles Dris-
coll in his column "Nrzg York Day
by Day." Very often he has per-
Sonal note. Ii has been said before
in this column that cat may gaze
at a king. That is the way feel
when copying anyone so noted as
the aforesaid writer. The personal
note amounts to this. Recently | read
that at Antoine's, a very famous res
taurant in New Orleans, they have
lately served their millionth order
of "OySfrrS ROCketriieT." This delic-
acy has brought fame to that res
taurant and rightly so, for well do
remember one evening in company
with number of newspaper friends
having "OysfrTS Rockefeller" served
along with PompanO and the things
that go with them. The restaurant
is now a hundred years old, and no
ones visit to New Orleans is com
plete until they have been served a
