The Modestown festival cleared
sol 60, nearly finishing debt on church
and parsonage. A pleasant occasion
to all.
Mr.. Russell Wood has returned to
New York, Miss Mary Taylor to
Northampton, and Miss Ella Mears
is visiting Atlantic.
We all sympathize with Mr. Rowles
and Mr.. J. w. Gillespie's family in
their great sorrow. Mrs. Rowles was
regarded as an excellent christian
lady, ready to live usefully or die in
Christ.
Some one is said to have entered
at midnight last week the lower part
of Mr. VIM. Matthews house, light
ing lamp and searching around.
The family up stairs awoke, when
the light was blown out and the
visitor fled. Articles were moved
and the window opened, with blind
Stats cut.
Tuesday, 2Sth, Atlantic festival had
a large crowd, with visitors from
Northampton, Baltimore, and else
where. Members worked well, peo-
pie were liberal, and we guess they
cleared over $40. Pastor lectured at
night. Their church pews from
Michigan are among the most beau
tiful and comfortable in the State.

Deaths.

Mrs. Fannie j. Rowles, wife OF
James c. Rowles, and daughter OF
Mr.. John w. Gillespie, Mappsville,
died at the home of her parents Fri
day, August 24th, of consumption,
aged 33 years. She passed the last
seven years OF her life at Drummond-
town and daily knowledge of her
enables US to join in the tribute
which appears in these columns from
her old home. In this brief notice it
is enough to say of her, that she was
noble christian woman-at peace
with the world and with the Master
whom she loved and served. She
had faults, of course, but they were
so nearly kin to virtues, that her
kindly disposition and sweet and
amiable manners made everyone for
get them. She died as she lived in
loving solicitude for the welfare OF
her friends and the church to which
she belonged. The last hour OF her
life was spent in talking of them ere
her Maker claimed her for his own.
She had no enemies and everyone
who knew her will join with US in
regrets for her early death.
Capt. VIM. f. Burton, in his usual
health through the day, died at his
home near louisville, Thursday
night, August 23rd, aged "a years.
He was a well known citizen of the
county and held in high esteem by
many friends throughout the East
ern Shore. Even his ripe old age
does not temper the shock received
by his sudden death. We can truly
sympathise with his family in their
affection.
Mr.. Fl. w. Dunno, superintendent
of N. Y, P. s. n. R. r., died in Phil
adelphia, Sunday night, and the
news was received with expressions
of sorrow generally in this county on
the following day. He was in the
prime of life, and a career full OF
promise seemed to be in store Tor
him. He WIS only SO years old. In
his personal and official relations
with our people he commanded for
the most part their confidence and
esteem.
