RayviIle, 9Th District.-The change in the
weather last Saturday was reminder that
winter is wanting to linger in the lap of spring
The sudden drop in the temperature made
overcoats and heavy wraps desirable. Ice
formed on still water which was exposed over
an inch in thickness.
Our fruitgrowers are very much interested
about the effect the 'cold snap may have had
upon the buds and blossoms that had made
their appearance
Last Sunday morning Rev. w. e. Daugher-
ty preached an able sermon from the follow
ing text "Acquaint now thyself with God,
and be at peace" The congregation at Pine
Grove Church has preaching in day time once
month"; and at night also once month.
| Rayvile Circuit, u. B. Church, has six ap-
pontments and one pastor. 1t seems as though
the territory covered by this circuit might be
divided, thus concentrating the efforts of the
minister and enable him to do more good.
Arbor day exercises were held at our public
| school. There were speeches, Rotations and
readings by the different pupils, inteispersed
with songs. A number of quotations bearing
upon the occasion were given by different pu-
| pills. Following these exercises came the plant
ing of trees by the boys, and planting shrub
berry and flowers by the girls. The school
grounds at this place are large and well sur
rounded by shade trees. The boys in plant
ing their trees, did not forget the late ex-Sec-
| rotary OF Agriculture, the founder of the day.
! They also remembered our Examiner and his
| Assistant. The girls were equally as thought
| full in keeping in memory some of the leading
women of the land.
We have lost very good neighbor from this
| vilage-Mr. Duncan, who moved to Eklo
short time ago.

| Thomas ]. Miller. near Parkton, buried an in
! FAINT child on Tuesday.
The mail carrier of route No. 1, which star
ted last May, has not missed one day in eleven
months. This is a record hard to equal and
cannot be excelled.
| There are three rural free delivery routes
now starting at Freeland which, with one
route from Parkton cover the entire 9Th dis
| trict, with the exception of small territory
near Hoffmanville. which is being served by
another carrier. The system seems to be grow
ing in favor with our people daily. Next will
come consolidation of schools s.
Fork, 18th District.-The friends of Rev.
Solomon German are very much pleased that
the Bishop and Presiding Elder France have
re-appointed him pastor of Long Green Circuit
making his fourth year. For the past three

just such as tend to make one want to do bet
ter. Of all the excellent ministers that have
been on this circuit none have excelled him in
preaching soul stirring sermons they being al
ways based upon the teachings of Christ and
full of quotations from the Bible.
The ladies of the circuit find in Mrs. Ger
man very congenial and accomplished COM
panion. One lady said the other day that she
is the most learned person she ever met so
that the people Of the circuit can congratulate
themselves upon having such good pastor and
pastors wife,
l wonder when the road commissioners, who
the Court of Appeals decided had charge of the
county roads, will accept advice from the
