One of the most atrocous crimes that could
be perpe,rated, was attempted at Appletown

suffering from hydrophobia. Neighbors
were hastily summoned and upon examina-
ton it was found that the animals were stuff
ering from poison. Ar investigation OF the
trougbs revealed the fact that poison had
been placed there during the night and that
! the horses had eaten of 1t. From their act
the animals suffered intense pain and it was
only by the quick appliance of antidotes that
they were saved.-Boonesboro Times

WORDS BY ALICE H. OsLnR, 90.
Time in its flight has brought us
Where we have striven to be,
And now, our school days ended,
We part regretfully
The class of ninety nine
Now launches on life's sea,
But days of Aud Lang Syne
Forgotten meier shall be.
Hope, like star, shines brightly
Upon each unknown way,
And with Gods blessing on u.s.
Well reach our port some day
Aye, reach our port some day,
| For with hearts both true and brave
| Although the storms may buffet,
Well conquer wind and wave.
Farewell to Alma Mater,
To teacher, too, and friends,
May truest JOY and pleasure
The path of each attend.
AS we go our different ways
