A Wedding ut White Marsh.

Mr. Phillip Nally and Miss Jeanette
Crosby were married at the Priests home,
White Marsh, on Tuesday. January 9Th,
Father Noel officiating. About two
O'Clock the bride entered on the arm of
Mr. Richard Nally. and the groom with
his sister, Miss Ruth Nally, of Washington.
Seldom has there been seen prettier bride
of decided brunette type, dressed in white
null trimmed with white lace and satin
ribbon, as we'll as white kid slippers and
gloves to correspond. completed by
white tulle veil, falling in graceful folds
from her head, with orange blossoms at
tached, bringing out in striking contrast
her lovely hair, blacker than the ravens
wing. In her hand she carried gracefullya
bouquet of bridal roses. The groom was
as faultlessly attired in the conventional
suit Only the family and a few intimate
friends were present.
After the marriage and congratulations,
Mr.. and Mrs. Nally left this historic old
spot, White Marsh, where so many in past
wears have launched out in life's matri-
monial boat, to sink or swim, for sorrow
or for gladness. The newly welded pair
directed their course to the home of Mr..
William Steward, Elverton Hall, where
upon her arrival she changed her we'd
ding costume for one of black brOeaded
silk A sumptuous supper was given by
Mr.. Stewart in their honor, about $50.
The wedding was as quiet as might have
been expected, Mrs. Nally having lost her
brother by gas suffocation in Baltimore
in November last she was devotedly at
tached to this brother, and his untimely
death, together with other sad changes in
her life of late were calculated naturally
to depress her and cast gloom over a
bright and cheerful disposition. We
trust the clouds that have been hanging
So dark and oppressive in her single life,
around her fair brow, NAV be dispelled in
her married life, and that sunshine and
happiness may reign misunderstanding
constantly with both in their new home
near Mitchellville. H. D. NJ.

Death of MIR. VIM. Joseph Wells.

This estimable gentleman died at his
home near here on Wednesday evening
after short illness of pneumonia in the
53,d year of his age.
Mr.. Wells was one of our must energetic
and successful farmers. He had purchas-
ed and paid for a good farm, and last
summer he addedto his house and made
for his family beautiful and comfortable
home. 1t is sad that he was not spared
longer to enjoy the fruits OF his industry
and prundcnt management.
He leaves a widow, two married daugh-
tiers. Mrs. Richard Coffren and Mrs.
Pinkney Mullikin, and two sons, John
and Horace.
The funeral will take place tomorrow
(Saturday), at II o'clock from St. Mary's
Church, this town.

made by J. H. Ralston and J. S. Edwards
Trustees, in October last, in the case of
Ralston and Edwards, Trustees, VS.. Frank
Whyte represented the exceptant, MIR.
Allen c. Clarke and Mr. J. H. Ralston,
the Trustees. Mr. Whites first exception
was that the property was not properly
certain metes and bounds being left out.
He quoted the case of Kaufman VS.. Walker
9th Md, page 229: where the descrip-
ton undertakes to give the lines they
must be accurate" Second, by an error
of the printer a9l acres instead of 90!
acres were advertised for sale, which is
misleading and IA fatal defect Third, that
the property, located on the Baltimore
and Potomac Railroad, was advertised
in the Free Quill, a local paper published
in Laurel, on the Baltimore and Ohio
Railroad and not in an old established
paper of general circulation, published
at the County Seat. Fourth, that the day
of sale was Thursday, October Goth, the
eve of an election when the financial
policy of the country was at issue and
and land values depressed, and the hour
was . p. m, and which on that day was
only one minute before sunset. The adver-
tisement also failing to show to whom
and from whom the deed of trust was
made. Finally, that if the ratification of
this sale should initiate against the equity
of redemption it should not be ratifi-
ed.
Mr.. Ralston answered the exceptions
in lengthy argument, claiming among
other things, that no inadcquacy of price
obtained for the land was shown The
case was held under advisement by the
Court awaiting return of proof that the
exceptant had had personal notice Of
time and place of sale.-Gizeae.

A Christmas Entertainment.

On Wednesday evening, the Both ultimo,
an elaborate entertainment was given by
the Sunday School of Brooktield which
was great success, and reflects great
credit upon the school. The delightful
weather brought forth a large crowd of
Leople who evidently enjoyed the eXer-
cises as shown by their close attention and
hearty applause. The addresses by the
pastor and superintendent were well re-
ceived by the audience. The church was
lavishly decorated for the occasion with
evergreens and artificial roses, and pre-
sented most beautiful appearance. A
collection was taken up for the benefit Of
the library fund The instrumental music
was skillfully rendered by Mss M. Eva
Garner. The school deserves congratula-

John II. McLean'S
Great Newspaper.

Without a single exception, there
is beyond doubt no greater or more
popular newspaper in the United
States than the Cincinnati Enquirer;
or a more successful publisher than
its proprietor, Mr.. John R. Mclean.
The old-time prices for the Daily
Enquirer have been maintained, and
its circulation largely increased each
year; hard times and cheaper jour-
nails failing to arrest its onward march
and high appreciation of the public
for its true worth and merit.
The Weekly Enquirer at beginning
of the campaign year was offered at
50 cents a year, and its circulation
increased by the addition of over
400, 900 new subscribers the most
substantial and coveted testimonial a
publisher could desire.
When asked for the secret Of such
success, Mr.. Mclean frankly answers:
The Enquirer has no opinions to force
upon its patrons, it simply prints the
facts and tells the truth that the reader
may form his own opinions. By
maintaining the price of the paper,
more news and greater variety can be
furnished, and every class of business
interests catered to, which a cheaper
journal cannot afford.
The very liberal support given the
Enquirer by the public at large, makes
it incumbent upon the management
to serve it faithfully with zeal and en-
terprise in minor matters as well as
those of greater magnitude.

who appears and proceeds to fill the stock
ilgs. Mr.. Charles Courtney Crandell, as
good old St. Nick, made great hit, and
amused the audience very much
The second scene was an enchanted
dell where were assembled the little fairies
and their queen. While thev dance and
sing amid the falling snow flakes, Santa
Claus reappears and announces that he
has loss all his presents by an accident,
and the Fairy Queen tells him that she
will get him out of his trouble With her
Magic wand and through the aid of Sin
bah and Aladdin an enchanted castle is
discovered which is made of bricks in the
form of boxes filled with candy. These
were then taken off one by one by the
generous old Saint and distributed to the
Chi dren of Trinity Church Sunday school,.
The little fairies We're trained by the
Misses Sasscer, Miss Ellen j. Harper and
Miss My Hill
Between the scenes Miss Mary King, of
Virginia gave some pleasing recitations.
Mr.. Sydney Hill, pianist, and Mr.. Charles
|. Wilson, vi"linist, played during the
performance and added much to the
pleasure of the entertainment.
Refreshments were also served to the
children, and Il short dance followed with
music by Mrs. James Harris.

Deafness Cannot be Cured

by local applications, as they cannot reach
the diseased portion of the ear There is
only one way to cure Deafness, AMI that
is by constitutional remedies. Deafness
is caused by an intlamcd condition of the
mucous lining of tho Eustachian Tube
When this tube gets intlamed you have a
rumbing sound of imperfect hearing and
when it is entirely closed Deafness is
the result, and unless the Inflammation can
be taken out and this tube restored to its
normal condition, hearing will be destroy
ed forever; nine cases out of ten are caus-
ed by catarrh, which is nothing but an in
famed condition of the mucous surfaces.

Fidelity and Deposit Co.

The Fidelity and Deposit Company of
Maryland, which is liable for one half of
the amount that the Employers Liability
Assurance Corporation of London will
have to pay the bank under its bond to the
Farmers and Planters Bank, will, from
present appearances, suffer a loss of about
10000, which will no doubt be reduced
by the assets of Mr.. Cornelius estate
From the statement published in the adj
vertising columns of the Baltimore Sim it
is seen that the company is amply able to
stand such a loss In addition to the re-
sources shown in this statement the COM
pany has over 100000 of available assets
which have been set aside as reserve for
such claims as this
