A DAY IN MILTON

MAY 10 1882

Wednesday , May 10, 1882:

Noah McGee's old building is being moved. Work commenced Monday, however,

the movers have experienced considerable difficulty.

The Reynolds & Company cannery have excavated the hill near by in order to make a

road to the produce landing on the river.

Captain Bonsal has arrived in Milton from Lebanon and will remain until the completion

of his vessel being built by the Black Brothers. John Davidson has the contract to build the

cabin for the vessel being built by David Atkins. This, with the one he has underway for

Captain Bbonsel will keep his busy. It appears good workmen are scarce.

Yesterday, John Foulk, agent for the Wilmington Morning News, severed the connection

with Mrs L. W. Fox's drug store.

Shipping arrived the schooner Clara Waples, under Captain Hunter, with bricks from

Haverstraw. Ships cleared, the schooners J.C. Atkins, Captain Baynumn, and the James

Carey, Captain Atkins, both with pine wood for Philadelphia.

The towns fish house market is plentifully supplied with trout at ten cents a dozen.

The Methodist Episcopal Church will hold the quarterly conference Saturday next. The

Rev. Todd, presiding elder will preach on Sunday.

The Wilmington Morning News has printed a denial from Mr. Robinson, in regard the

elopement published by me some time ago . The statement I made was publicly made by

the sister of Mrs Lank, the eloping woman in a dry goods store in town.

Miss Clara Waples has returned from a three week visit to Phladelphia.

Several children have taken seriously ill by chewing locust shavings from tree nails for

the vessel building.
