THEORETICALLY the LIST of January is

Feb. G. True winter began on December

THE Baltimore Presbyterian in noting the
Rev. j. T. Umsted New Years poem, calls
him tho poetlaureate of the Baltimore
Synod.
PROF. GROVES, who was unable to attend
the State Teachers Meeting last week at
Dover from indisposition, is out again on
his rounds in visiting the schools.
The conference assessment for this station |
for the conference claimants fund (worn !
out preachers or widows and orphans of de-
ceased ministers) 1925 was raised en-
Sunday last.
THIS has been o remarkable winter for
mechanics and laborers. Our carpenters
and, painters who are usually laid on the
shelf in January, have been as busy, the
most of them, as any part of the past
year.

a new process and for whiteness and ight-
ness cannot be- excelled; at least such was
the verdict on some Maryland biscuit into
which some Of it was converted.
The inch or two Of snow caused the
livery stable man to turn out yesterday
morning Gearing perhaps that it would be
the only chance Of the Winter, but after
a ride through several of the streets he
too hauled in. The jingle sounded very
merry, but it takes more than slush to call
out full chorus of the bells.
The establishment Of MesSrs Tschudy &
Cats, which has been shut up since the
close of the basket season, opened again
last week on the years campaign in saving
timber. on which it will continue uatil the
| opening OF the peach basil el season two or
three months hence. The sound OF its
whistle seems like a call to business.
THE warm weather the past two weeks
! (which eliminated Yesterday in slight fall
| of snow and cooler weather) began to
cause the peach growers some concern
least it should swell the peach buds, but SO
far we think no damage has been done.
A week or two more Of such weather would
have had its effect AS it was the violets
and maple trees were nearly in bloom.
The February meeting of the Levy Court
will soon be at hand and voters heretofore
omitted from the list and persons since
moving in the Hundred or coming of age
had better have their names in by that
time. The right to vote should be this
most cherished of those bequeathed by
Liberty, because the people thereby become
responsible for their rulers-whether they
be good or bad.
The pretracted meeting in this town
which commenced two weeks since, is con
tinued through this week with more o
hoped for than actual results The meet
ings have been we'll attended, the preach
: ing and exhortations direct, congregation
attentive and membership mainly on duty
and in this respect the meetings have bse
enjoyable and beneficial, but there has no
been thus far any stir among the in
I psnitent.
