august Oh anu cOlu enough early
this morning for frost-qnite con-
trast to last weeks weather, which
was unusually warm and sultry for
Deer Park.
Mrs. A. S. Steele has been in our
town for week or so. on her way
from Chattanooga. Tenn. to New
England. She intended leaving on
Saturday last, but was Frustrated by
an attack OF malarial fever, from
which she is still suffering. though
somewhat better than she has been.
Miss Bessie Miller. of Sandy Spring,
Md, is visiting Miss Kate Davis.
Miss Bertha Berry, who has been
spending some time with relatives in
Deer PARK. left for her home in Port
land, Maine, last week, intending to
spend some time at Newport on her
way.
Messrs. Geo. Spates and Robert
Cummins and Miss Marie Maulsby,
of Baltimore, are visiting Mrs, A. G.
Lott and family.
Messrs. Suter, Right and some
others from Piedmont. with their
families and friends from Cumber-
land, had a picnic in the woods near
here last Saturday.
Some of our charitable ladies have
organized Children's Home in our

other needy children of the county.
The store and dwelling house COM
bined. belonging to Mrs. Steele has
been donated by her for that purpose
and is now undergoing alterations

officers, &C., will be given later.
One evening last week aunt Phebe
Pogue, an old colored woman living
in Deer Park, who has been sick and
unable to work for sometime, receiy-
ed very pleasant surprise. The
colored walters and nurses, from the
Hotel surrounded her house about
ten O'Clock. and by their singing
called her to the door. The Presi-
dentof the deputatiOn then delivered
an address to the effect that it was
considered the duty of the cOlored
race, wherever they might be to dis
cover and assist persons of their own
color who were in need, and therefore
they had visited her, and begged her
to honor them by accepting their tes-
timonials of esteem and good will.
The testimonials Were-fourteen dol
lars in money and seventeen pack
ages of groceries. Aunt Phebe re-
piled in an appropriate and elaborate
speech, thanking them heartily for
such substantial assistance, and wei
coming them to her house, and a
lively evening ensued. The whole
affair reflects great credit on the
charitable men and women who were
so ready to relieve the wants of one
of their own race, and their conduct
is not unworthy of imitation.
The aquatic teats of the swimming
master at the natatorium connected
with the Hotel was quite an attrac-
ton one evening last week.
Mr.. r. j. Heads birthday was cele-
brated last Sunday by the gathering
together of his children and grand
children at his residence about two
miles from here.
