CIDER PREss.-Mr. D. w. Zentz has his
new steam power Hydraulic Cider Press in
position and has already made some cider on
it. He is pleased with it's working and says
he can guarantee yield Of 10 to 20 per cent
more than can be gotten from the old style
press. Until September LIST, the cider mill
will be run two days each week, Monday
and Thursday; thereafter 1t will run daily.
The charge for making cider will be one cent
per gallon. The increased yield will make
it profitable to have the work done on Mr..
Zentz' press.
THE FAIRY CANTATA will be reproduced
in the Town Hall, Thurmont, on Wednesday
August 21st, 1895. Some very decided chan
pes in the costuming have been made and
attention to details in the action Of the play
will strikingly improve 1t. The programme
will be further strengthened by the addition
of the following musical specialties: The
Arion Sextette of male voices, one Of Fred
erick Clty's most popular musical organiza-
tlons.
Both HANDS INJURED.-Our very popular
young townsman, Mr.. Chas. Mackley, met
with a severe accident on Monday last, that
we are panied to say, will MAIN him for life.
While attending to his steam power ice
cream freezer, the third and fourth fingers OF
the left hand was caught IN the cog wheels;
grasping at it with his right hand to aid In
extrlcatlng it, the second finger Of that hand
was also caught and broken. The left was
drawn in we'll back into the hand, the bones
crushed and the tendons and muscles torn
and mangled.
Drs. Brely and Kefauyer were called and
gave Mr.. Mackley the benefit Of their very
best surgical ability.
The finishing touches have been put to the
Farce and Musicale to be held in the Town
Hall, Thursday, 18th inat. and thoroughly
enjoyable evening awaits all who attend. A
fine new piano has been secured for the oc.
casion from the Ordway Piano Co., Of
Hagerstown, Md, and the program finally
completed by the addition of Miss Margaret
Mentally of Baltimore, who will recite, to the
list of contributors. The music, both vocal
and instrumental, is Of a high order, and in
the Mandolin and Violin Solos the citizens of
Thurmont will have an opportunity TO hear
music of kind that is seldom presented in
this town. The farces, too, are uproariously
funny - the good natured abandon with
which Clarence Fits mutilates the English
language, Mrs. Cables volubilty, and Jno
Downley's unpleasant yet laughable exper-
Co., ~ wofhor nppcupI phQnfpr
human experience We predict this enter
tainment will long be remembered with
pleasure by all who are fortunate enough to
hear it.
