A whist club is about to be formed as an out
growth of the social by those who are fond of
the game.
The people of this community heard with
deep regret of the death at Palm Beach, Fla,

owner here and did much towards the inn

hood, being a very progressive man.

Randallstown, I'd DESTRUCTION Tuesday
night, 10th instant, Welcome Lodge. Knights
of Pythas, of this place, celebrated its fifteenth
anniversary. After the usual business had
been disposed of refreshments were served.
The attendance of members was large and the
affair was an enjoyable one throughout.
We are now in the full enjoyment of what
is known as 'bottomless roads," but these
are nothing new in the I'd district. We have
had them for generations and see no possibility
of change for the better. What is known as
the Distillery road is from II to Is inches deep
with mud.
At last our hopes are frightened by the fact
that the electric railway between Baltimore
and Frederick will be built, the distance by
the proposed route being 45 miles. This will
give this section rapid transit and we will then
make rapid strides in advancement.
The son of Mr.. and Mrs. VIM. Snyder. of
this place, who had been very sick for some
time and who was improving, took sudden
change for the worse and died on Tuesday after
noon The remains were inferred at Mt. Olive
Church on Thursday. Nj.

Chow To Make Things Go."-This is the
title of a lecture that Rev. DR.. Madison G.
Peters, pastor of the Baptist Tabernacle Balti-
more, delivered on Tuesday night. Following
are some of the good points in the lecture:
Understand your talents. Find out for
what pursuit you are born and fill the groove
nature intended for you. Don't choose bus
mess because your father wants you to follow
it. No matter how inviting the business or
profession, enter it not unless your talents lie
in that direction. Remember that the most
despised calling may be made honorable by
may be man of polished manners and a col
lege professor boor.
"Stick to your business and your business
will stick to you. To succeed you must be
unanimous with yourself. This is the age of
specialists. 1t does not pay to know every
thing. The men whose names are immOtal
are identified with some single achievement.
They rode hobby. The art of pleasing is the
art of getting on in the world. Good man
ners are prime factor of success. Like
standard gold they are passport everywhere.
Ninety per cent. of what the world calls
genius is nothing more than the talent for
hard work
THE world does not owe US living. Every
man owes the world work. There are plenty
of young fellows who live off the earnings of
their fathers until they can find girl who is
fool enough to marry them; then they live off
her father.
Luck is waiting for something to turn up.
Pluck, with keen eyes and strong will. turns
up something. Bad luck is a man with his
hands in his pockets waiting to see how things
will turn out Pluck, with sleeves rolled up
and hard at work, makes things come out.
THE men who stand at the summit have
fought their way up from the bottom. What
ever you do, do we'll. Don't be an average
man.
Garry a full head of steam. 1t is time
enough to be conservative when there is no
room for progress. Everybody is in the way
of the man with wheelbarrow; horse COM
ing at full speed always gets clear track.
BE patient. Nobody can cheat you out of
ultimate success but yourself. Hold your
ground and push hard. Swim off and don't
wait for anybody to put cork under you"
