The entertainment on Tuesday
night by the Good Templars, at their

ed and reelected credit upon the par
Elephants. The recitations and read,
ings were good, the vocal music de-
lightful, and the selections by the
Mappsville cornet band were well
rendered and added much to the en-
tertainment. Rev Mr. Wood pre-
sided, and made strong talk at the
conclusion of the exercises in behalf
of the purposes of the Order. If
tree is known by its fruits then
this is indeed good one that has re-
Gently taken taken root in our midst.
The young man, Samuel Stevenson.
who died in Baltimore few weeks
ago, lived until recently very near
this place, and from our intimate &C
quaintance with him, we can say
that his life and death is richly Wor-
thy of more than q passing notice.
We very often see or hear the term
"model young man" applied to indi-
viduals, and sometimes we think
without due consideration of all that
the term implies, but in applying the
term TO the late Samuel Stevenson,
we do so considerably, and without
any reservation whatever. We know
of no one living Or dead to whom the
words could be more fittingly applied
than he. He was honest, industri-
Gus, intelligent, manly and true. He
honored his parents, and loved his
relatives and friends. Malignancy
had no place in his heart, nor was
his tongue polluted by slanderous
words. Every man was his friend
and of nc one was he an enemy. Ger
tainly the world must be bettered by
the example OF such life.
