Mr.. john Terrell! wishes to inform a

INDUCED iii.
The daughter of one of Elkton's most
| prominent citizen and the son of another
/ citizen of equal high standing in society
were seen to depart hurrieily on the 127
train Tuesday last. As they are both
| youag and both familiar with the sting OF
CUpd'S arrows it was rumored that an
elopemeut had occurred, but investigation
proved the cause OF their sudden and
hurried departure to be of an entirely diff
fsrent nature.
The cantata of the Morning Star"
/ which was beautifully rendered at North
! East on Tuesday evening last, will be re-
/ peated again at an early date for the bene-
! fit of the Grand Army Post. Among ali
/ the singers on Tuesday night none diStin.
| gutshed themselves quite 50 much as Miss
| Carrie Foster. Her voice is strong and
well trained aud her solo was sung in an
| excellent manner.
/ On Monday last the subscription list of
| the young men 5 lecture course, which will
! be inaugurated at Odd Fellows II Hlll week
after next, was opened and up to the pres
eut time few more than one hundred
tickets have been sold. The number ac-
| tualiy required to be sold ere the manage
! ment can proceed with the lectures is 200
| and we hope the good citizens of Elkton
and vicinity will come forward to swell
the list TO that number. Those who have
| already subscribed for tickets pronounce
| the course ore of the cheapest and best thev
have ever known of, as five such lecturers
as Alexander X. Mcclure and the Rev
! Waldo Messdros can be heard for 81 90:
making the cost OF one lecture but twenty
cents. 1t is very probable that Charles
Emory Smith, of the Philadelphia Press,
and Max Adler (ChaS. Heller Clarke of
the Philadelphia BuHrtia, will be among
the lecturers. The subscription list will
he open until next "Wednesday, when by
tha time it is hoped the 200 names will
| have been secured. The citizens of Elktou
are fGlly intellectual enough and sensible
| enough to appreciate course of good lee
tnres and they should encourage the man
ayers OF the present course by subscribing
Immediately for tickets. 1t may well be
stated that these lectures will not be of the
Cul-aud dried ordered with which usual
audiences are generally greeted, but are
eIoqnently written upon eloquent subjects
and will be eloquenty delivered 1t has
now been several years since the citizens of
Eikton have been treated to 4 good lecture
aud they should appreciate the opportunity
now offered them which may not b. re-
peated again for long time.
