small ability of farmers to pay their store

The world is in anguish because of the bit

ENTERED A MILL.-About II O'Clock,
on last Saturday night, as Mr.. Vinsinger
the proprietor of the Head of Elk Mills, was
returning home from town. he discovered
a man coming ont of his mill door with a
bag of feed on his shoulder. The thief
started up the race bank in the direction
If the Ear Creek" and Mr.. Vinsinger
also started in pursuit of him on the other
side of the race and headed him off from
the town. The race being between them,
the thief, like fox, took the back track
and crossed over the bridge. Mr.. V. then
returned to town and informed Bailiff Shock
ley of the robbery and communicated to
him the name of the suspected party. The
bailiif repaired to his house, and, in few
minutes, the thief came back from his ex-
cursion into the country and the bailiff
arrested him. He admitted taking the feed
from the mill, but said he found no one
there to wait on him, and hesitated not to
help himself, intending to pay for the feed
some time in the future. This was en-
tirely too thin" when it was discovered
that he had broken the glass from one of
the windows in order to effect an entrance
into the mill and had arranged string to
the bolt Of the door, in very ingenious
manner, for the purpose of boiling it after
he had made his exit.
Justice Foard committed him to Jail to
wait the action of the grand jury at the
April term oS court. The name of the
party arrested is Archibald Owens. Mr..
Vinsinger has suffered from the pilfering
propensities of thieves for some months
past. 1t is hoped that the thieylng will
stop now.

The First Sunday School in Cecil Comfy,

Mr.. EDIToR:-Many of your readers we'll
recolect the Rev. John Wilson, a seeding
Presbyterian minister, who was the propri
etor of the New Leeds wooden and cotton
factory. He was an Englishman by birth,
he having left part OF his family in Eng
land. In 1915, two or three of his daugh
tiers arrived in this country, one of whom
was fully imbued with the Christian spirit.
Having imbibed the spirit of Robert Raiks
on Sunday schools, soon after her arrival
in this country, she commenced Sunday
school in the present New Leeds Church
and soon gathered in it all the children in
the neighborhood. During the writer's at
tendance this lady had about sixty scholars,
all of whom she taught herself, and had
better order than many of our modem
schools This the writer knows to be the
first Sunday school in this county A reli-
able gentleman in Baltimore tells me that
the first Sunday school in that city com
menced in 1916. In all probability Miss
Sarah W ilson's was the first Sunday school
in Maryland. But few of that class is
left, many having gone to rest with their
teacher above. If her grave is known, !!
would suggest to the Sunday schools of
Cecil that thoy all make a small contrbu-
ton to mark her res surg place. Who will
