Leap Year Party.

On Thursday evening, leap year
party was held at the residence of Miss
Mary N. Cunningham, Mr.. Ferris acted
as host and did it in q very creditable
manner.
The ladies invited and escorted
the gentlemen to and from the gath
ering. The young men looked tired, and
no doubt they were thankful for once in
their lives that they had the ladies to
wait on them.
The ladies represented different char
acters, and we make note of the different
costumes: Miss NJ. N. C. as "Gipsey;'
Miss E. P. as "The Daughter of the
Regiment" Miss G. Z. as "Huntress, "
and Mr.. R. d. as "Hunter;" Miss G. Q.
as "Little Miss Muffit;' Miss NJ. W. as
"Vanity;" Miss F. NJ. as Snow Miss
A. L. as Outlet" and of course there is
never Juliet" without "Romeo" and
M. q. represented the character;" Miss
NJ, T. as martha Washington" in com
pany with General George" in the per-
son of "Gov." C; Miss L. II. as "High-
land Lassie;" Miss l., E. as 'Bride" and
Mr.. ]. F. as Groom" Miss A. w. as
little Bo-Peep." We were unable to
ascertain the characters represented by
the Misses II. and Miss NJ. B.
A right royal time was enjoyed by
those present At about 10 o'clock a
bountiful repast was spread and the
ladies kindly escorted the getlenmen to
the table, and waited on them. After
partaking of refreshments the company
returned to the parlor where an hour Of
so was spent, and then the company dis
sembled. This is the first leap year party
in this town this season, and it was {
very enjoyable affair, and successfully
carried out.

1t is with sadness that we note the
sudden death of Harry ID. Miller, Regis
ter of Wills of Cecil county, at his resi-
dence about three miles north Of Elkton,
on Saturday morning last. Mr. Miller
had been quite i'll of brain fever for over a
week, but had improved 80 much that
the services of the doctor were dispensed
with and his friends thought him in fair
way of recovery. lie was sitting up on
Friday afternoon, and passed very quiet
night until awakened by the thunder
storm early on Saturday morning. He
asked for glass of water, Of which he
drank, and then wanted to got out of
bed. He was assisted out by the nurse,
but had hardly touched the floor before
he was dead.
Mr. Miller was about AZ years of age,
and leaves wife and four children, and
two sisters to mourn his untimely decease.
He was man of sterling qualities, up
right in all his dealings, his character
was above reproach, he was corteous in
manners and a kind neighbor There is a
shadow of gloom thrown over the entire
community in which he lived, ard host
of relatives and friends sympathize with
the sorrowing family, and mourn their
loss of good and honest man.
Mr.. Miller was the son of the late
Henry d. Miller, who died liz 1847; who
was Register of Wills at the time of his
death, having been appointed to the
office for life by the Governor Of the State
in 1916 or thereabout. The late Mr..
Miller entered the Confederate army

Mr. Slack, and asked him to pay him the
few dollars which he owed him. The

man, he asked Mr.. Slack for the loan of
