The Cecil Whig., 1885-12-12

A gracious revival is in progress at
Wesley Chapel, Elk Neck. The pastor is
working earnestly in the cause Of biz pro-
tfession, and the beneficial influence of the
meetings is being largely felt.

lamar who now have their offices in the Cres
well building on Main street opposite Mrs.
Edmund Browns store. Mr.. Halnes oc-
oupies the lower and DR.. lamar the upper
floor of the Eastern end of the building.
They are both costly fixed in their new
sanctums where they may be found by
those having business with them.
Mr.. Francis Bradbury held reception
at his residence on Church street in cele-
bration of his late wedding last Tuesday
evening. A large plumber of guests were
present, including many friends of both
bride and groom. After enjoying deli
cious repast the guests retired at an early
hour. Later in the night a party of the
young men of the town gave them rather
boisterous ca,athumpian serenade.
There will be services in the Presby-
teriau church tomorrow (Sabbath) both
morning and evening by the pastor, Rev.
K. w. Beers. The subject in the morning
will be "a Call to Decision" In connec-
tion with this service the new members
who have this week united with the church
will be publicly received. The evening
subject will be: GLOW Christ feeds the
World - All are welcome
A dispatch was received by Mr.. b. +.
Crawford of the First district, on Wednes-
day last, denying the truth of the report
that his son, Benjamin Crawford. sheriff of
Graham county, Arizona, had been muir
dered by the Apachee Indians. The first
incorrect report was largely circulated in
this vicinity and greatly shocked the many
friends of the supposed dead man. The dis
patch that came on Wednesday was great
relief to all in general.
The sad death from diphtheria of Clar-
ence, the little son of Mr.. Charles Collins,
of this town, occurred on last Wednesday
afternoon. Clarence was in his fourth year
and was a boy of much attractiveness and
to his parents, to whom the sympathy of
the entire community is accorded. The re-
mains of the child were inferred in the new
cemetery on Thursday afternoon. The Rev.
VIM. Schouler performing the beautiful
and solemn funeral rites.
We would like to know upor what
grounds the CentreciHe Observer bases it
claim of being the "largest paper published
in Maryland.' 1t is rather inconsistent to
place such statement before a public that
can see for itself how entirely untruthful
it is. We believe the Baltimore weekly
American is larger paper than the Obser-
rer, we believe the Frederick City Ne,cs is
a larger paper than the ObSerrer, nor do
we see wherein the latter surpasses THE
CECIL WHIG in point of size and amount
of reading matter contained in it each week
Under the auspices of several young
men of this town a series of four lectures
and one musical entertainment will shortly
be held in Odd Fellows hall. The details |
of the course will be announced at another
time, when also the subscription list will |
be open at Mitchell's and several more of
the principal stores of the town. The price |
Of season ticket, admitting one person to
the five entertainments, will be one dollar,
and single admission tickets will be twenty
five cents. The cheapness of these rates
will be observed. The course is gotten up to
afford the citizens of Elkton pleasure and
information, and we hope to see the enter
tainments largely patronized. When def
mite arrangements have been made with the |
lecturers and musicians the date of their
appearance here will be announced and |
tickets will be for sale.
