Jesse, a bright little year old son of S. b.
Furry, died on Tuesday with brain fever.
The funeral left here on Thursday morning at
> o'clock for Westminster to meet the 5:2l
train for Hagerstown. From there they drove
twenty one miles to Milestone Point, Wash
ington county, Md, where Mr.. Furry buried
his first wife and several children.
A great many people are complaining with
severe colds and sore throat. Some have la
grippe. Mr.. David Boose, who has been
confined to his bed for over three weeks, is
sitting up in his room again. Mr.. Upton
Lennon, who was kicked by horse several
weeks ago, is up and about again.
S. b. Furry has bought Mr.. Edward Saylor S
store property in townsville, Frederick county,
Nd. Mr. Furry will fake possession of the
property the coming spring. Silver Run will
lose a good citizen, and a straightforward
business man.
In our travels through different counties
we are often asked the question, how are you
getting along with the building Of the new
churches and dividing the old union church,
&c. As there are so many different reports
afloat we will try and give the readers of the
ADVOCATE what the Reformed and what the
I.utherans want. 1t is admitted that the old
union ground is too small for a church and
hitehing ground at times of communion and
funerals We often see gates thrown open at
adjoining fields and lots and used for htching
grounds. The Reformed congregation IS
building opposite the old Union ground.
That is what they ask the Lutheran eongre-
CATION to do and divide the old Union Church.
They say they have no ground TO build on.
When they bought corner lot adjoining the
old union ground several years ago to build a
parsonage some of the members told them
not to build on the corner, some future day
we may want to build church, and it GER
tainly would be Il beautiful situation for a
church. The Lutheran parsonage is a frame
building, and it would not cost a great deal to
move it on an adjoining lot. We don't think
it would cost rs much as law suit. and 1t
certainly is not the course for christians to
take to settle the matter in law or Sullivan
and Kilrain style. Such course would bust
some of our neighbors' religion wide open.

A correspondent at Sykesvlle, writes:
Negotiations are reported which look to the
establishment in Sykesville of a factory for
the production of all kinds of table ware and
kindred articles of which flint powder forms
the basis. There is factory now in opera
ton at Hoods Mill for crushing flint rock,
but the pulverized raw material is sent East
to be manufactured. The same parties who
control the above works have under consider
alton the plan for removing the whole plant,
both for preparing the raw material and
turning out the finished ware, right to the
quarry's side, rs it were. And for the latter
branch of the industry, the water power,
climate, accessibility and other advantages of
Sykesville have justly attracted attention."

A Bold Confession.

At conference of leading Indiana Repnb-
licans at Indianapolis last week, Hon. W. T..
Brush, of Charlottesville, made a speech, in
which he declared that the Republicans in
1888 carried Indiana with Doodle, and that
unless some way could be found of using
Doodle under the Australian election laws
they could not hope to carry it again. The
Indianapolis Sentinel says this speech was
received with applause, no one challenging
Mr.. Brush's statement, and bnt few even
venturing to demonstrate with the speaker for
his frankness.

MgssRs. EDIToRs.-S last writing you
we have entered upon a new year, and have
PASSED about 10 days of it. The remainder
is in the future coming, might say ''for better
or for WORSE" and while you no doubt are
having plenty of snow and ice We too are
ENJOYING some frosty weather. We have had
several heavy frosts this season, enough to
kill the weeds and grass. | may have told
you before that weeds grow all through the
winter some seasons. ! suppose that may be
the reason that rag weed grows large enough
to climb. | have used some for fire wood.
They are not quite large enough for back logs,
but do very nicely for the remainder of the
fire. Today has been pleasant, with occasional
showers, which will bring up the tomato
seeds. Possibly some Of your readers would
like to see 20 acre field Of cabbage at this
season of the year, about ready TO head.
One neighbor is shipping beets from acre
lot which are now selling in New York at
81. rs to 81 per bushel crate. He expects to
ship 1900 bushels from the acres.
Oranges have been selling at 81 per box,
and some fancy lots as high as 81. so delivered
at the depot This makes very fair return
from a bearing grove, and it don't take u
dozen years to make a grove either Groves
that were planted seven years ago are now
bearing. One grove of Is acres planted at
that time yielded about 500 boxes this year,
and the trees are still growing. A full crop
for grove of that size would be about 1000
boxes, and know of one acre grove that
has yielded 1900; not so bad.
Our little town still moves on, and now
hear a church bell ringing for services; not in
the back woods any more, if we have become
'scrackers.' Our Marion county phosphate
boom still goes on, and thousands have been

to follow.
