STOCKTON. MD, January IA. 1902.
f,ditorS Of The NeSSeng.r:-Im order to
show our appreciation of the many to.
kens of kindness shown during the year
will you insert the following in your
paper of this week.
The pastor and wife greatly appre-
ciated their donation referred TO in your
paper about Christmas times. But while
they do not come often i'll crowds, vet
scarcely has there been week since
we have been here that some token of
thoughtfuiness has not found its way
TO the parsonage. One of the many
pleasant features is that when il comes
TO donations all the churches JON and
become one for the time being. Many
improvements have been made, while
all are greatly appreciated none more
than those made to the parsonage,
which adds greatly To the comfort of the
inmates. Such as new roofs on porches
and carpet for sitting room. the last

The little band of faithful workers at

owing to the fact that he only breaches

a poor reception considering the
popularity Of the performers and
the we'll known character of the
play. q However, those who attend
ed were we'll repaid for the time
spent Several OF the performers
were new hands at the business,
having never been on the stage
before. and all things considered,
they took their respective parts
with dash and vim that would
have done credit to older heads.
There was really only one notic-
able mistake made and that was
of no Importance. The makeup
OF the company was excellent and
the costumes suited the occasion.
This play was staged here several
years ago by Mr.. ralbert, as will
