AN EXCELLENT SERMON.
Our pastor, Rev. Mr.. Dare, preached an
excellent sermon, on Sunday last, from the
39th verse of 3rd chapter of Lamentations.
THE WEATHER.
The weather is still dry and warm We
have had no rain for three weeks, except
ing few small showers, which lasted but
few minutes.
RACE COURSE.
1t is rumored that we are to have a race
course in Elk Neck, where all that have
fast trotters may come and try their speed.
BOOTS STOLEN.
Willie one of the OILERS at Turkey Point
was asleep, some person stole the boots off
his feet. The same party also stole the
molasses out of a key and filled the key
with water. Suspicion rests heavily on a
certain one. IT'S better to lose soles than
to steal them. y. Y. Z.
