DIR. Dulaney failing to reach here because
of the snow drifts near Clarksburg, his pull.
pit was supplied on yesterday by his junior,
Rev. G. p. Smith.
For the first time in many years only the
Baptist church was opened for service on
Sunday, February 10Th. The snow drifts
in the north and south roads were simply
immense and it was almost impossible for
people to get into town. Save the bowling
winds our little burg was quiet as the city
of the dead, and worship was paid to God
only at our home affairs.
Almost "all hands and the cook" assisted
10 shoveling the compact mass of snow out
OF the roads La this our citizens showed
their persevering disposition. Citizens of
a community who, as unit, refuse to assist
their county in such dilemma as Western
Maryland has experienced certainly don't
deserve the plaudits due the patriotic and
thrifty citizens OF our community.
Rev j. ID. Rayiield, pastor of the Baptist
church at this place, Germantown, Edwards
Ferry and Burdette, will shortly remove
from our town to Burdette. During his
stay among us he endeared himself to our
community as social christian gentleman,
and a worthy minister. We hope he may
succeed in his chosen work wherever he
may be called to labor.
Death still seems to enjoy his visits to our
community. Rev. j, d. Rayfield conducted
the funeral services over the remains of
George johnson, who died saturday, Feb.
ruary 9th.

Last Friday evening while Mr.. Wallace
Poole, Jr., ami Miss Genevieve Young,
one Briarey Halls popular teachers, were
out selghrding, Mr.. Pooe's horse became
frightened at u shadow on the snow and the
sleigh was capsized, throwing both occu
pants out. The horse and sleigh reached
home with quickness and dispatch leaving
the young people to peramhuiate the dis,
lance oil about one half mile, which lay be
tween them and their destination.
Briarley Hall, the popular female semin-
airy near our town, will have a public
reception Friday evening, February 2lst.
These receptions are social and successful
AS the years roll on parents learn more
and more the importance OF educating their
daughters,
No weddings to report, and from present
indications there will be none soon. Cupid
may be, as ever, doing some silent work and
the mysterious force called by sentimental
people-love-may be only dreaming Of
conQuests in the future. The little brown
bird may yet come. to the window of many
a soul that all unconscious drifts on with
the tide of Time, for dead be the soul that
with IMMUNITY trifes with this untarnished
jewel of Eden
