Mr.. J. w. Dodd, of your place,
passed through this place Saturday,
stopping at the festival on his return.
He says he grows tired of of work and
business. and enjoys Rests once a
week, consequently his many friends
up this way get look at his spark

! has to cross the limo to resi-, you know.

Mcssrs. Frank Eichelberger, w. E.
| Morgan and C.. a. Miller were seen in
gether with lady friends of your city,
which was both appreciated by Rector
and congregation. 1t is very encour-
ageing to see SO many visitors come
in as there are SO few church people in
the congregation. Without service SO
long we felt nearly despairing, but Mr..
Thomas draws large congregation
considering circumstances; is affable,
an excellent minister, and liked ex-
ceedingly well by all the denomina-
tions here, and we trust now our
church will grow.
Since the rampage everything is
quiet "along the Potomac" and the
habitation is just the same.
The r. r. bridge under the super
vision of Mr.. Chauncy Foster, has
been completed and is fine piece OF
workmanship.
The strawberry festival under the
auspices Of the ladies of the Presby-
terrain Church was very well attended
and we hope successful financially.
There will also be one by the ladies of
the NJ. E. Church, Thursday, Friday
and Saturday of this week. We hope
theirs may also be success.
The Gerardstown Band held their
annual picnic last Saturday. The boys
know how to entertain their guests
lovely, for every one seemed delight
ed with the evening. Under the tu-
torship of Prof. Gold Miller they have
made rapid progress in their music,
and play excellently. We are inform
ed they contemplate playing at the
festival Friday night. We hope it
may be so.
Miss Mollie Besore, a pretty and
pleasing young lady of Smithburg,
Nd, IS paying all extended visit to
her aunt Mrs. G. O. Snyder. We
trust that her visit may be pleasant
one.
Miss Maud Cline was called home
last week by the extreme illness of
her sister.
X you are mink! and your con-
glomeration of vacancies in the
shape of fiattery for "Beatrice" is laid
aside for future use. How absurd |!

"She is not dead but sleepeth," was
a consoling thought that crossed our
mind on Monday morning as we
heard of the sad news of our friend
Miss Anna Cline, of this place, who
passed away, and whose spirit entered
the portals of heaven on Monday.
Young, lovable and beautiful was
this fair victim whose life was pure
and noble. Another joyful heart has
been stilled in death, another sweet
flower has been plucked in youthful
beauty, it seems almost beyond reali-
cation. but oh how true. Death has
surely placed its sceptre upon the
brow of a loving daughter and an aft.
ectionate sister. For months she lay
i'll, forever hoping for the better, and
thus life ends.-She was for long
time under the care of a physician in
Pittsburg, Pa, and since here. She
has been attended by Drs. Snodgrass
and Daniels. Anna is gone! She the
sweet delicate flower, and the chills
and blasts of this cruel world were toe
much for her to bear. Young, true
and beautiful her gladdening voice
made summer in the bosom of her
friends and gave light to her happy
home. TITS sad to remember that
never more will the happy voice be
heard or her bright eyes look love and
tenderness. All! The heart is but
human after all, and death teaches US
the lesson that God calls young In
their glee as well as the aged. She
bore her sufferlngs with womanly for
titude, receiving all the care loving
friends could give her, but her time
has come, another angel sits on the
highest throne to share the pleasures
of heaven. Her guileless heart, hel
kindness, her sympathies, her sun
shiny nature and her good will for al
ulCW olOullu DCl q lIOSG Vi
friends, and life was sweet to her, but
as soon as she heard the angels whis
per "cOme," without murmur anC
with smile On her sweet lips she fol
lowed the fight heavenward. Straight
to the Golden Gate left ajar for one
more loved one to enter. She was
inferred in Greencastle, Pa, on Thurs
day.
Very sad was the hour of parting
How bitter the tears that were sheC
by her parents, her sisters and broth
ers as they saw Anna laid with the
dead. BEATRICE.
