THE BAY FILLING UP.
The SinepuXcnt Getting Shall
lower all the TimIc The
Remedy.

To the northward of Ocean City
there are many large creeks and the
st. Martins river. which empty into
these various bays, but the depth in
many places is insufficient for the
water to flow freely and to carry away
the sand and drift which is brought
down from these creeks and rivers,
consequently the entire series of waters
from South Point northward is rapidly
filling up aud will soon he incapable
OF navigation even for the small craft
which now at high water can ply back
and forth. This will take from the
oystermen and others who make their
living with these small vessels means
of subsistence.
BY not very great amount Of
dredging this difficulty can he removed.
Dredging should commence off Kclley's
Point in the nothern part of Chinco.
league bay and continue from there at
certain intervals TO the northward. II
would he necessary to give a draft Of
seven feet Mt low water for this entire
distance, to dredge a channel through
these various spots for depth Of three
or four feet, and this would give at
high water an available depth Of nine
feet for vessels to ply back and forth.
a greater amount of dredging might
be necessary in the bay just back Of
Ocean City for purposes Of anchorage,
but when this channel has been dredged
the facilities for those numberless
Maryland citizens who live by the
oyster business at and below Ocean
City will be very much improved aud
the pleasure of the residents on the
Eastern Shore and visitors throughout
the State much enhanced by reason of
pleasure boats, which could be then
used TO very great extent. The
bottom is Of an easily dredgible char.
acicr, so that for channel 80 or 60
feet wide for this entire length of II
miles the cost would not be very great.

One year ago Ocean Lodge, Indie.
pendent Order of Odd Fellows, Of
Snow Hill, gave an entertainment in
their Hall to the members of their
families aud such invited guests as

spacious Lodge Room. The affair
was such a pleasant one that the Lodge
passed resolution that such a pro.
gram should be carried out annually.
Last Tuesday night was the date of
the second annual entertainment aud

than the one Of last year. The pro.
gram embraced speeches, readings,
recitations, singing and ice cream aud

ing ode" after which followed short
but fervent prayer by Rev. J. l..
Nicholson. District Deputy, |. T.

responded to by Mr.. Taylor. Then
Rev. Ralph Coursey sang Annie
Laurie" lie was followed by Prof.
G. 5 Richardson in recitation, Ell.
titled the "Moneyless Man !" it was
delivered in good style, AS Mr.. Rich.

public would like to hear and see
more Of him. Miss Julia Fooks, the
sweet singer Of Colbourn's, rendered
one Of her priettiest songs and was
followed by Mrs. {. l.. Vincent, who
read The Actors Story" Then came

Grand Secretary Jones, in an address
on Oddiellowship. What he don't
know about the Order and its benefits,
there are Few people who do. lie has
been the Grand Secretary Of the
Grand Lodge of this State for many
years and is probably one OF the best
posted Odd Fellows in the whole
world. His address was Il good one
and was appreciated by all present.
When Mr.. Jones had concluded his
address, Il quartet composed of Rev.
H. I. Coursey, G. l.. Vincent. X. ID.
Jones, and Carlisle Baker, rendered
MY Old Kentucky Home :" they
finished in storm OF applause and
responded again with the cold Oaken
Bucket" After the Quartette,
recitation was announced by Rev. 5.
J Morgan Mr.. Morgan has been
under the Doctor for several weeks
and was in weak condition, but his
oratory charmed the entire audience.
He has few equals rs a reciter and his
memory is simply wonderful. Mr..
Morgan was followed by Mr.. { l..
Vincent in song entitled My
Polly's n Peach" which caught the
audience and he responded with
another selection.
Noble Grand Station then announced
an intermis-ion, during which ice
cream aud cake was served free To all
present.
