this vicinity for the benefit of the Mechanics
vile Band was a decided success, considering
that the weather was anything but favorable.
The net proceeds were S35. The members
say they are very well satisfied, and we are
requested to say to the ladies' and gentlemen
who took such an active part in the affair
that the members of the Band return theiI
most sincere thanks for their energentic work,
and also to the public generally for their lib

celent music for beginners during the festival.

FIRST Annual Reception of The Westminster

The Westminster Club, an organization eff
tected by a number of the young men of this
community several months ago, for intellec-
tual and social enjoyment, which has been
occupying rooms over FrizelFs restaurant,
adjoining the Farmers and Mechanics Bank,
recently fitted up with some elegance and re-
moved into the Albaugh building, adjoining
Carroll Hall. Here they have seven rooms,
of which they have furnished reading room,
a card room, board room and a lounging
room, with velvet, brussels and moquette
carpets, chairs, tables, lounges, etc.
They signalized their change of quarters
by public reception on New Years Day,
which was attended by citizens from every
section of our city and county, and visitors
from Baltimore, Washington, Annapolis,
Frederick, Hagerstown, Hanover and other
places
The Board of Governors, consisting of B.
f. Grouse, president; J. Milton Refsnider,
first vice-p president John II. Cunningham,
secretary and treasurer; John J. Baumgart-
ner and James A. DifTenbaugh, were assisted
in receiving and entertaining their guests by
Mrs. Judge Bond, Mrs. DR.. Shaw, Mrs. DIR.
Billingslea, Mrs. +. o. Grimes, Mrs. George
NJ. Parke and Mrs. John l.. Reifsnider.
Other ladies who had consented to sssist
were kept away by sickness and death in

occupied cosy nook and discoursed eloquent
music.
As this club has grown from small begin
ming with unusual rapidity and vigor, and
now promises to grow still more rapidly and
be an established and influential feature in
our social life, a brief account of its purposes
and methods may be interesting. 1t is de-
signed to be a means of cultivation and i'm
provement as well as means of enjoyment
to the members. To this end provision is
generous and the government is rigid. The
reading room is supplied with the best maya
zines and newspapers. All sorts of unbe
coming behavior are strictly prohibited.
Neatness and care in the use of the premises
and the demeanor of the members are ex-
acted under severe penalties. The govern
ment is vested mainly in the Board of Gov
errors, who are elected annually. Admis
sions to membership are carefully guarded
An application must have the written recon-
mendation of three unofficial members in
good standing, be passed upon by the Board
of Governors, conspicuously posted in the
club rooms for period of ten days, then
balloted on by the members. If three ad-
verse ballots are cast the application is re-
jected. Provision is also made for honorary
members, who have all the privileges of the
club except that Of voting.
Applications are pouring in, and it is prob
able that the membership, which now num-
bers over fifty, will be doubled within a short
time.

LeGORE'S IMPROVED COMBINATION
OF LIME is superior to all common grades

attempted by any other manufacturer. Our
rock and improved facilities exceed any other
in the state. Farmers will not need pound
of bone where this lime is used. Do not be
deceived Or imposed upon any longer. Be
sure you are right and get LeGore's Com
bination, and be convinced how easy, quick
and cheap land can be improved and full
crops grown. Furnished in carload lots to
suit. Farmers can order their own lime.
