Home Mission Band Fair.

While the voters of Elkton We're busy
with their tickets and their friends, little
band of busy people were preparing to hold
a fair at the Presbyterian Parsonage. Tues
day afternoon and evening were damp and
disagreeable. The heavens were mourning
for one or more of the political parties in
the country, but in the present mixed state
of affairs it would be hard to say which
But Chinese lanterns, plenty of lamp-light,
and an unlimited supply of good spirits,
kept things bright around at the Manse.
The young people had full license for two
evenings. The parlor was frightened up by
/a table we'll filed with variety of fancy
articles, az we'll as a line strung across the
room overhead, upon which the larger arti-
cles We're hung. The Boys Band had Il
table where they dispensed candies, cakes
and apples, and 4 variety OF small articles,
to the younger portion of the visitors. 1t
need not be said that this was Il popular
corner of the room for the little folks. The
dining room was set apart for refreshments
lee cream and cake monopolized the exten-
Sion table, while the deal kitchen table, so
ornamented that it failed to recognize Itself,
did duty in the interests of cake, candles
and fruit. 1t was gala time for the BARNS.
The patience aud good llnmor of the genial
hostess was taxed toa great degree, but was
found fully equal to the trial, aud trump
ed, under it all. The actual gain i'll dollars
and cents, after all expenses were paid, was
tie neat sum of S4l.19.
Our friends in the com munity are already
aware that these young people are clothing
an Indian girl in Alaska; and that the Boys
have succeeded in doing something towards
clothing a young boy in the same school
We hope they will all develop genuine
Home Missionary spirit, which will increase
and deepen as wears increase to them.

To Our School Directors,

The attention of those who have an
oversight of our public schools in town,
is called to the condition of the school
pump. 1t has not been in working order
for "a long time. The conseq hence is that
the children are sent to the neiyhbors for
water. Water is free, It's true; but, lit,
tie children cannot supply the water need
ed by Il large school, without leaving
gates open, splashins the well platform.
and oftentimes breaking the pump. This
is the result of the condition of the school
pump. and that condition is the result of
negligence on the part of those who have
charge of the interests of the school. Get
the pump fixed, or We shall shut down
on the methods now ustd to get water
for the school SUFFERER.

INTRODUCTION.

INTRODUCTION.
As there appears to he no itemiZer in
the Neck. we thought it might not be
amiss, to jot down lew notes and give
our neigh borhood an airing through the
columns Of your valu ,ble paper.
OUR FARMERS
are all through with seeding and the vast
green wheat fields contrast beautifully
with the varied hues of the Autumn
leaves of the forest trees of which we
can boast of not few. The corn crop
has been gathered. and promises an abun-
dant yield. The various other crops have
all been good, and all together it has been
favorable year to farmer and fisherman.
CUNNING.
The cunning season has opened, but
game appears scarce. Red and black
head ducks are moderately plentiful, but
canvass back are scarcer than they have
been for many seasons.
IMPROVEMENTS.
The spirit of improvement is abroad in
Neck. Mr.. VIM j. Wilson has completed
a new wagon house and granary, on the
IIyland farm. Mr.. +. Whorton is erect.
ing new dwelling. and the new NJ. E.
parsonage at Ilarts which was built las,
year through the untiring energy and
zeal of the pastor Rev. &. S. Conaway
has recently been painted and presents
quite neat and comfortable appearance
and greatly rebounds to the credit of the
little society here.

at the Wesley Chapel for three weeks

work and several have professed conver
| son. May the work go on and the pas
tor be as successful in the pulpit as he i.
in house building and have many souls
| for his hire. and be ever instrumental il
building up Emanuels kingdom.
/ SCHOOLS.
| The schools of the Neck with one ex
exception have all changed teachers thi
year. Whether for the better or not ha
yet to be proven. But we think some .
the trustees could be changed with ad
vantage to both teachers and patrons.
