The Lodge numbers 40 members, in good
standing.
Mr.. T. Jefferson Scott peeped in on
| us one day this week, and by the twinkle
of his eye we knew he had good news for
us as well as plenty of work for himself
He told us to prepare ourselves for the
hardest seasons work in hand bills this
office has yet known. This announce
ment made us actually grin smile, and
before we had time to collect our senses
and thank genial, jovial JEFF, he was off.
On looking out the window we discovered
a gentleman engaging him in converse
ton about sale which he was to have,
and trying to secure jeff IS valuable SER
vices as auctioneer.
"A demonstrating match took place
at St. Augustine, Nd, this week between
Mr.. j. Polk Steele of Chesapeake City'
and Mr.. George McCrone of Warwick,
Md. The match was for 800 side and
| 90 birds each. Mr.. Steele killed II birds
out of 80. The six last birds shot at were
found dead outside of bounds, making
one bird missed. Very fine shooting.
This makes score of 10 straight killed.
Mr.. Steele is an amateur, but very good
one. Mr.. McCrone killed 10 out of "a.
making Mr.. Steele winner. Mr.. Lewis
Boulder of Chesapeake City and Harry
Crawford of Warwick shot at birds each
for S15 side. Crawford killed A and
Boulder .
Mr.. John Wilkinson, the well-known
sewing machine agent of Elkton, paid us
visit or Wednesday. He informed us
that he had been robbed on Tuesday 1t
appears from his statement, that the
store had been left without charge, and
it is supposed that the thief had entered,
and they not hearing the bell over the
door ring, helped himself, A neighbor
looked in, and discovered young man
standing in the room, and enquired after
Mr.. Wilkinson. He was informed by the
supposed thief that Mr.. w. was not in.
At this time Mr.. W. heard the bell and
went into the store, but found no one,
thinking it was some of the neighbor's
children. After five o'clock, Mr.. W. went
to get some change from a purse in the
drawer, and discovered his loss. Money
and valuable papers in all amounted tt
about 81 900. We hope Mr.. Wilkinson
will recover his loss. He informed vi
that he thought he weuld get them.
