Miss Bessie Davis, of Philadelphia, is on a

Miss Davis expects to extend her visit through

last from her visit at Mr.. Lauterback $.

and Sylvester Vondersmith, of Resterstown,

Mr.. and Mrs. c. Hugh's were guests at Jacob

On Sunday afternoon last at Jacob Bran
deuburg's. Rev Z. Burhman christened an in
FAINT daughter of Charles and Mamie Hughes,

Rain has fallen every day for the last ten
DAYS. and has not stopped at this writing.
The wheat and clover fields look as though
they were rolled. The wheat is very heavy
in this section. but the yield will not be as
large as was expected. Some of our farmers
are talking of moving their wheat that Is
down so badly. The grass crop will be heavier
than for several years, and only II lew days
will elapse before hay harvest begins. Some
OF orr cOrnields present the appearance OF
grass fields, as the ground has been too wet to
work There is much complaint about the
potato crop at this time. The vine is very
puny and delicate looking, and it seems that
the old enemy. the potato bug, has taken
advantage of the situation by stripping the
vine.
II was children's day at Freedom on sun
day last. and although the weather was so
unfavorabIe the church was well nigh filled.
The trimmings were very pretty but not
elaborate. The children acted their parts
well, and deserve a great deal of credit they
must have been practced much 10 have gone
through with the parts assigned them, as some
were difficult The NJ. +. School marched
from their church where they had assembled
for the purpose, down TO NJ. (. Church South.
and AS thew we're about to enter the church
they we're met at the door by the superinien-
deaf. Mr.. r. J. Baker, aud conducted up the
left aisle to the left Of the pulpit The choir
rendered some very excellent music on tue
occasion. We have often heard the Silver
Lake Qaartette, but doubt it ever they could
nav ,exceiled this choir The address BY Rev.
J. r. Andrew was excellent. Ii was mainly
directed to the children, who seemed to drink
in the words as they were uttered. A col
lection was taken up aud a handsome sum
realized. which will compare with Il not ex-
coed that at Harmony or even Oakland.
Croquet Is gaining popularity again IN tins
place, and cur young people even so so tar as
10 play on Sunday. What pity the weeks
arc not a liule longer
On Thursday last Mrs. Marshall Sslby,
through a mistake, gave her baby a morphiG
powder. aud the child went 70 sleep and re-
NAMED for long time as if dead. The par
en,s were much alarmed. and Or. II. r Ware
was summoned al once and remained with
the child an night. About daylight the child
showed signs Of life much 10 their relief.
