The Fair.

The Hall Fair inaugurated on Tuesday OF
last week has received excellent support in
some directions; in others not so good, yet
withall satisfactory.
For iostance, in the matter of sale of fam
lily and season tickets, the most sanguine
and ball galleries have been profitable, but
the booths and the CHANGING departments
have not been as well patronized as was
hoped for.
The entertainments could not possibly be
gotten under way before Christmas evening
and that fine advertisement was lacking
during the early days of the Fair. Since
they started, the attendance has been mark
eddy better and everybody remains. This
feature should pack the hall every night this
week, for some of the very best things ever
produced on tina: stage will be given during
the last four days of this week; nothing will
be repeated except by pressing request and
not then certainly.
We have one suggestion to make; it is
that our young ladies and gentlemen do not
| stand so much aloof from active work on
the floor; more of them should come forward
and engage in soliciting sales directly. A
cold lunch of ham, chlchen or turkey with
coffee is served in the dining room on the
lower floor, also oysters fried and stewed.
Ice cream is served in the booth on the main
floor and across the Hall one can get cup
of hot chocolate for a nickel. A delicious
lot of cake and confectionery is offered at
the first booth to the right, while natty lit
tie fish pond is the attraction at the extreme
right of the room. On the third floor is an
Art Gallery in which 129 works of art are
displayed. You can get your overcoat
or lady's wraps checked Tor a nickel, for
which turn Immediately to your right when
You enter.
The donations have been liberal and are
yet coming in. The fine rich toned Brad
bury piano that is in use has been loaned by
Mr.. j. NJ. Birely, Frederick City's leading
dealer in pianos and organs. The instru.
ment is for sale.
The Fair will be open on New Year after
J noon, Admission Free.

protracted meeting conducted by
rev. II. X. Rife, has been in pro
gress for about two weeks at Mt. Zion
By the kindness of Roy and French
Stump we had the pleasure of being
at the meeting last Thursday night.
The sermon was earnest and the sub,
iect forciby addressed itself to the no.
bier sentiments Of the congregation
And when the invitation To those
Wishing to turn from the error eff their
ways was given, quite number from
all parts of the mach crowded house
went forward ard occupied the seats
provided for that purpose. Two or
three made public professions during
the evening and one very gratifying
thought about the matter is that there
WAS no excitement. The sermon was
gospel, pure and simple, and the mu-
sic, led by the familiar voice aud face
of y. b. Kelly VAS good The pray
er offered by Wesley Polling was not
a rehearsal of some old familiar phras-
es, but was addressed in an earnest
manner for the needs of the hour.
There may have peen other PRAYERS,
but we didn't hear them. The best
of order prevailed. Mr. Rife is gain
ing quite Il reputation as revivalist.
