The Democratic advocate., 1891-05-02

We mentioned in our last items the deatl
of John Boose, and our report was sent II
before the funeral took place on Friday
morning. 1t was largely attended, persons
being present from Westminster, Littlestown,
and other places, TO pay their last respects 70
the deceased. Mr.. Boose was held in
high esteem by all who knew him in this
community, and his neighbors all unite IN
saying they have lost good friend and
neighbor Mr.. Boose's age was 81 years, j
months and days The pail bearers were
Levi J Motter, Joseph Cookson, Isaiah W.
Cromer, Rufus W. Hesson, George A. Form.
walt aud Ephraim Grouse. The funeral
services were conducted by Rev. j. &. Moss.
Jacob Bankert was quite poorly last week.
Later reports say he is improving. Mr..
Bankert was balif for n number Of years
under Judge Hayden.
Myers district boasts OF having the heaviest
constable in the county-Mr. John Stuller-
whose weight is 546 pounds.
Since the jury was drawn for the May term
of court, we hear some of our people say they
cannot understand why none were drawn
from Myers district We think Westminster
ought to be the banner district in place of
Myers, because it generally has more than
its share of officers, jurymen and fires. Take
the vote in consideration, Myers gets less
Offices and jurymen than any district in the
county. We don't have many office seekers,
except those that move to our district. They
are apt to ask for office before they are here
long enough to get warmed up. We don
expect to be forgotten in our county conyen-
ton this fall. Myers wants something for her
200 Democratic majority hereafter.
On Monday morning last, a little grand son
of j. Henry knpple, of this place, started a
fire in Il lot OF dry corn stalks near the barn
yard. When the alarm was given, the fire
was burning very brisk, but was extinguished
before it reached the barn yard.
On Tuesday afternoon our people saw q
dense cloud of smoke rising in the direction
of Littestown Some thought the town was
ablaze. Later in the evening news reached
us that Joseph Cookson had burned some
brush on his corn ground, and a high wind
blowing at the time carried the fire to an adj
joining woods of John 7. Messenger and
burned over s or 10 acres.
Mrs. Jacob Bankert, of Cherrytown, saw Il
large black snake in her garden. a short
distance away there was another lying on n
tree. Wm. II. Bachman killed two snakes
on his farm adjoining the town, each measur-
ing feet. The name of the place ought to
be changed to Snakes Delight"
On Thursday the carpenters commenced
work on the new Reformed church. On
Monday the stone cutters expect TO be here
The masons will commence the brick work
about the same time. The mechanics expect
to continue on until it is completed, so we
may expect very busy season for farmers
and mechanics from now until tits completed.

THE WHIT MONDAY PARADE.
II Promises to be a Grand Demonstration
and viii Probably Exceed All Pre-
yious Ones.

The Knights of Pythias are progressing
well with arrangements for their Whit Mon
day demonstration, and the parade promises
to be equal to any ever witnessed in this city,
even if it does not eclipse those Of few years
ago.
Lodges have been invited from Martins
burg, Shippensburg, Waynesboro, York and
Hanover, in Pennsylvania, and Williamsport,
Hagerstown, Mechanicstown and Frederick
In addition the Pythian Drill Association has
accepted an invitation to be present, and the
Drill Association of MaHinsburg may take
part also. Some acceptances have been re-
ceived by the committee, and each lodge has
been requested to bring band of music.
All the bands of Carroll have been invited,
or will be, and it is probably that some ten or
twelve bands will furnish music on the occa-
sion.
Efforts are being made to get the celebrat-
ed Fifth Maryland Regiment and band and
drum corps, to take part, and the Mayor and
Council have joined the lodge in the invita-
ton.
If the citizens properly aid the lodge West
minister will have great parade.
