The Jug breaking at Bethel M. E. Church
took place last Monday night and was largely
attended, large number being from dis
tance. The exercises were of the most in
teresting character, consisting of dialogues,
speeches and select readings, interspersed
with singing by the school, all OF which was
rendered in excellent style, eliciting much
praise from the audience and rejecting credit
upon those who had it in charge. Rev: J. D.
Still, of Baltimore, formerly of Westminster,
was present, and delivered an appropriate
address, which was listened to very atten-
lively. The jugs were then broken, the con-
tents of which amounted to about $34. The
amounts ranged from 81 up to 50.
