Dancing parties in Elkton have been
notceably scarce in Elkton during the fill |
and winter. In fact we do not recall a sim
gle ball or hop given AS there are two
halls in the town suitable for the purpose
this would appear to indicate either the !
poverty or frugality of our young men who
are fond of the dance. Our notice was called |
to this matter by the reports of festivities in
other Peninsula towns.

ufacturing Company propose moving their
machinery for the manufacture of fertilizers
from Colora to Baltimore. This change |
| which will be made next fall is principally |
on account of the heavy expense arising |

The business of the company which is good
can be managed with more economy by

cities that have sprung up along its line.

"A novel method of collecting funds for
| church purposes is that employed by the
| congregation of the Elkton Presbyterian
| Church in raising money for the Manse
fund. Each member who desires to aid the
project is given two cents or talents" The
| object is for each to increase the amount as
| much as possible. Someof the methods are
| quite novel. One young lady commenced
by making tatfy and selling it. Another
bought a spool of cotton from sympathetic
| merchant at or below cost and { hen sold it
| at profit.
We have received copy of the Balti-
more Sun Almanac for 1899 This is the
| most valuable reference book to citizen

| scarcely week during the year that we
do not turn to its pages for information
| which often can be leaned from no other
| source. The Sun deserves the thanks of all
| intelligent Marylander for the care and
| accuracy with which this handbook of i'm
| portant information is prepared. A copy
| is scented to each subscriber of the daily
and weekly Sun.
The probability of securing leo in this
vicinity is small No ice has been secured
vet on the Hudson or Kennebec rivers.
None of the dealers here have any carried
over from last season except Mr.. Henry
Vinsinger who very fortunately has his
large ice house nearly half full or about 500
tons. We understand that Messrs Mearns
| & Walker. tn e North East dealers also have
good supply. Three farmers in the vicin-
| itv of Zion who built new ice houses last
fall now think that they could have inves-
| ted the money TO more advantage.
