Mrs. william II. Pearce.

Mrs Caddie Pearce, wife of William Fl.
Pearce, of Cecilton, Md, died at her home
on Wednesday night, after an illness of
several weeks, in her 37th year. She was
the daughter of the late William M.
Watts of Bohemia Manor, and has always
lived in Cecil county, where she was well
known and held in high esteem. Death is
ever a unwelcome guest, but when he
enters the family circle and claims from
its midst the wife and mother, his coming
is most disastrous. The death of Mrs.
Pearce is no common loss to the community
in which she has lived and where she was
known and loved for her beautiful chris
tan character. Since early childhood she
was identified with the M. e. church, and
was actively engaged in every good work.
Especially will she be missed by the poor
and unfortunate, for her tender sympathy
and ready assistance were never sought in
vain by one who stood in need. and wher-
ever her name is spoken it is coupled with
benediction. Her record is that of a
true and faithful wife, and loving, devoted
mother. and an earnest, active christian.
She leaves husband and six children,
besides four brothers and sister and a
large circle of friends. Her funeral will
take place on Sunday afternoon, from the
Cecilton M. E. church, at 2.30 o'clock. In
terment at Ceciiton cemetery.

Ancestral Traditions Kept ALIVE by the
Small Boy.
Halloween here, as elsewhere, was cele-
brated by the rising generation in the popu-
lar manner, on Tuesday night; and every
small boy in the community seemed 10 be a
volunteer in the army of mischief that
raids the country each year on this occa-
sion
There was no serious damage done
though, other than the removing of gates,
doorsteps, ringing door bells, throwing
corn and making great noise.
Possibly all unconsciously our youth
pays tribute to our celtic ancestors across
the sea in keeping up these traditional GUS
toms. though the halloween festival is not
nearly SO generally observed as it formerly
was.
