Miss Mary Belts, daughter of
well-knOwn residents of Millsboro.
was married Sunday afternoon last
to John P. Steward, Jr., of Milford.
The ceremony was witnessed bv
only the immediate families of the

formed by Rev. George r. Ellis.
The bride was attended by Misses

man. Following the ceremony a
wedding supper was served. MI.
Steward is the son of ]. p. Stew
ard, grocer in Milford, and who

some Of its products are actually
surprising as to size and quality.
At present he has some tomatoes
ripening, of the HendersOn's Beef
steak variety, and one vine this
week has ripened two tomatoes
which for weight and size are
noteworthy. One tomato weighed
one pound, three ounces, and meas
ured 12X13 inches, while the other
weighed one pound, nine ounces.
and measured 15x16 inches. At

Mortimer Browning, the Ameri-
can organist, will give his annual
recital at the Presbyterian Church
Friday evening, August 23rd, at
half-past eight. Mr.. Browning is
fast gaining in reputation and dur
ing the past season has appeared
with wonderful success all over
the south, even having been en-
gagged after the close of the sea-
son, and was obliged to decline
several recitals in order to secure
vacation. His program this year
contains all new work, never be-
fore given in Milford. One number
in particular is interesting i'm
that the composition is built on
but four notes, Liszt's Prelude &
Fugue on BACH, the B-naturaI
key being used in the old style as
H. This wonderful and extensive
composition is rarely played on
account of it's extreme difficulty.
Mr.. BrOwning's sense of music col
or is most attractive and he has a
good opportunity to give evidence
of this in a weird number, Within
A Chinese Garden" In this num-
Der Mr.. Browning so registrates
his organ that one is transported
into a real Chinese Garden, where
strains of queer and mysterious
harmOnies are heard.
