A SUCCESSFUL SUPPER STORES ENTERED

NOTES.
| PERRYvILLE. Md, Feb. Goth, 1890.
of the NJ. +. Church on the nights IF the
18th and 14th insts., was a decided success
the proceeds amounting to 1882 on the two
evenings. Those in Charge of the supper
deserve great praise for the way that the
supper was managed, in fact the whole
thing was well managed and appeared to
| give general satisfaction all around. While
we are best with some good people among
| US and 80 many took such 3 part in our
| supper as they always do on such occasions
yet we regret to say that we either have
some very bad ones among us or else they
come from a distance, as was proven on last
Monday morning when it WAS discovered
that E. Owens store and Striker & Wat
sons 81 ore had both been burglarizad. 1t
appears that the thieves had taken AN iron
bar from about the freight house and went
up to Messrs. Stricken & Wa.son's store,
near the Presbyterian Church on Broad
street. After forcing The back door they en-
tered and as it appears ate all they wanted
and after taking about $40 worth of grocer
les and notions they left not forgetting,
however, to take with them Messrs S &
w 8 hand axe and tap borer with which
they proceeded to Mr.. Owens store on
Front street where they pried open shut
ter in the back part of the building which
let then, into the back room of the store.
They then, with the tap borer, bored num-
Der of holes in the door leading to the main
building. Then large holes were cut about
eight inches long by about four wide, so
all the fastenings could be got at. After en-
tering they proceeded to the safes both of
which had been left Internationally IN
locked Gas Mr.. Owens never leaves much
money in them). From these safes they
got about 200 pennies, they then ransacked
the cases, emp led boxes and knocked things
abou' to suit themselves. MIR. o. doesn't
know what has been taken but thinks his
loss is about $40 or $50. Among other
things taken were about 40 penknives, 2
clocks, two or three pairs of shoes, several
manicure sets and several boxes of fancy
articles, besides handkerchief, pipes, etc.
1t seems strange that Jerry, the old bull
dog, who never failed before to give the
alarm, should lay quiet whilst all this was
going on, as the parties must have made
con siderable noise in getting in and then
they must have been in there a long time
and cleaned up their tracks we'll behind
them as there was not anything LETT to give
any clue towards following them.
The Second Perryville Building and Loan
Association made their first payment on tie
night of the 18th ST., when there was
about 500 shares taken and paid for. There
is something over a hundred yet subscribed
that will be in by the next meeting night.
The money sold from shares at per cent.
The association will be held open for 60
days. This association bids fair to be a good
one, as it is being handled by first-class Off
Ger. and the prospect for building never was
brighter, there is no doubt there will be
quite a number of houses go up here during
the coming summer.
There has been quite number of birth
day parties and wedding anniversaries
this winter. Two weeks ago there was
lemon party at D. McDoRald's Last week
there was surprise party and PRAYER meet |
ing at Mr.. WIN. Wards This week there |
was wedding annivers airy at MIR. John w.
Cochran's.
Rev. T. b. Hunter, the popular pastor of
the M. E. Church. will leave US in tho
spring. Who will take his place it is hard |
to tell. Mr.. Hunter is now carrying on a |
great revival at Principle, one of the ap- |
pointments of this charge The meeting has |
been going on for several weeks with quite |
q number of conversions and the altar full |
nightly Of penitents.
The health OF our town is fairly good.
The Jr. o. U. A. Ms are fourishing. |
They now have LIS names on their books.
Notwithstanding the failure in the ice
crop, our people have been favored with |
work all winter. We believe there is |
any body without work. LITE.
