the association meets the first Sunday in the
month. The officers are Miss Ida Wilson,
president; Alverta Lamotte, vice president;
a. n. Zentz, secretary; Grant Harding, assis-
tant; Margaret Wilson, treasurer. The mem
bers and others who have not joined are in
vited to do so. On Saturday, the 2lst instant,

the benefit of the School. The Wariieldsburg
Band will be in attendance. Several speak
ers from abroad are expected to be present.
Ice cream and confectionery will be served at
moderate prices.

meeting will be held in the grove adjoining
the church. Several ministers from abroad

Threshing has been stopped for few days
by the late rain. We suppose about Friday,

E. S. Mccoy, Jr, of this place, has left the

probably make his future home.
Farmers are about through with wheat and
rye harvest Many are getting ready for
threshing and will begin at once. Reports
from Baltimore county show yield OF 80
bushels per acre. The oats crop, on account
of hot and dry weather, will yield poorly this
season. The hay crop is short. Corn and
potatoes are looking well and promise fair
yield.

Mr.. Coock preached one of the best sermons
we have ever listened to, but, by the way, we
fear that few of the congregation missed a
good part of the sermon on account of being
SO tired from the last weeks work, and prob
ably did not get as much sleep as they needed.
Of course we don't charge any one with sleep

Sunday, July LIST, children's day, was cele-
brated at Deer Park N. p. Church, and great
pains were taken to make the occasion pleasant
and attractive. The services were conducted
in the grove adjoining the church, where a
stand was erected for the speakers and the
singers. The stand was handsomely decorated
with beautiful flowers of many varieties. An
arch was formed over the organ, from which
was suspended the words, in silver letters,
''The Chidren's Missionary Jubilee" The
speeches, dialogues and recitations were fine,
and every part of the program was performed
with great skill and accuracy. The singing
was all that could be desired, Miss Fannie
Buckingham presiding at the organ, assisted
by Miss Fannie Barber. A piece entitled
1.-THE Silvery Bells" led by Mr.. Elias 0gg,
was sung with great skill, and attracted the
attention of all present. 1t was indeed the
happy children day. Rev. W. A. Grouse,
pastor of the charge, delivered an able address
! to the congregation. 1t is estimated that 600
persons were present, and the day was all
that could be desired.
Mrs. C. W. Arnold, Sr., who has been con-
fined to her bed for several days from injuries
received by fall, is convalescent.
Mrs. Hardina Gibson is also reported as
being very i'll from injuries received by fall
recently. Mrs. L. X Markell is confined to
her room with complication of diseases.
