quested to make reply at once, as the matter

gaging tickets is ell that is needed to make
the winter Entertainment" a success.
Reserved seats tickets for the season are 81.

starvation is little less than a literal fact in
the P. E. Church. One clergyman, who gave
up a So, 900 position in a business house to

$500 year. He has wife and four children
to support, and is highly praised by his bishop
and his parishioners. Another, with a wife
and six cnsldren, received last year less than
$500 of the $500 promised him, though he has
parishioners that can afford to summer at the
seaShore.

From Taneytown Cabbage Heads.


To the Editors of the Adrocate Having
noticed the piece in your paper speaking of
certain company of our young men here as
the ''Taneytown Cabbage Heads, would say
in reply that, as for any disturbance being
created by said parties, is all nonsense. The
merchant spoken of as having been insulted
is, in reality, the insulter. Having accused
one of our young men of being fabrieator,
was asked to place his grounds for such re-
mark, which he was unable to do. Why?
Because, believing the remark would never
be repeated, and that he would never be called
on to prove it, took this means to belittle a
gentleman in the eyes of the people. Now,
there is this much about it: If person is al
lowed to SANDER without restraint, and show
that the so called Cabbage Heads would be
thought of far and wide as a set of rowdies,
simply by the one who is the inferior. But
we would say in conclusion that, notwith-
standing the appellation of Cabbage Heads,
we know the laws of etiquette sufficiently to
mind our own business.
