MILTON

In all of its splendor Auctumn's here
Most beautiful season of all the year
Bins are full of golden grain,
Apples red and mellow;
Closets full of peach preserves,
Pumpkins round and yellow.
When Autumn comes, cool and cIeai
The leaves come tumbling down,
Gay with colors red and gold
And make a carpet on the ground /;
Then / know 'Fall'' is here.
l like to wander thru the woods
And rustic thru the leaves;
To listen to the chipmonks
AS they chatter in the trees.
like to hunt for chinquipins,
Chestnuts and fine ferns;
To catch the flash of a bluebird's wing
And listen to the red bird sing.
Ike to walk along stream
It's just the time of year to dream
OF winter sports-bobsleds, and skates
And wood fires glowing in the CRATES
When inhale the fragrance of a rose
Or behold the gold in golden-rod;
When stand and gaze at a noble tree
This is the thought that comes tC
me
"Be still, and know that am God"
Milton, Del. Mary Crouch Quig
State Candidate
From Milton
Broadkill Hundred has a candi-
date for State Insurance Commits
sioner in the person of William W.
Conwell. Mr.. Conwell is fully cap
able by education and experience
of filling the position with credit to
himself and the people of this hun
dred. Mr.. Conwell is a Democrat,
but we believe many Republicans
from this district will support him
at the election on next Tuesday
Before he moved from Milton to
Norfolk, Va, Mr.. Conwell was en-
gagged in the banking business, the
timber business and .cannery,
There are many who remember his
liberality and loyalty to friends.
Upon his return to his native town,
Mr.. Conwell Immediately took an
active interest in its affairs. As
clerk in the office of Court of Chan
Gerry and clerk of the Orphans
Court in and for Sussex county, he
has inaugurated many reforms in
the business management of these
offices. 1t is believed that William
w. Conwell will be the cause Of
more "split tickets in Broadkill
Hundred than was ever known be-
fore. ...
