The Baltimore County union. [volume] (Towsontown, Md.) 1865-1909, 1904-12-31

Jacksonville and Sunnybrook, 10th Dis
trict.-Mrs. Nelson McClung, who lives near
Sunnybrook, has returnrd from ner former
home in York county, where she went to at
tend the double wedding Of her SISTERS, miss
Lee Gemmill and Mr.. Manifold Lanius, and
Miss Edith P. Gemmill and Mr.. }. w. Lanius
which interesting event took place at the
brides home. The ceremony was performed
by Rev. +. B. Everitt, while the happy, young
couples stood beneath floral arcn IN the par
lor, which was deliberately decorated for the
occasion. The grooms are Drotners. Last
spring Miss Lee GemmiIl visited this section
of Baltimore county and made many friends
while here.
A large party paid donation visit to Rev.
and Mrs. James w. Campbell, az the manse,
Sweet Air, few nights before Christmas. and
carried with them an abundent supply of edi-
bles of all kinds and other gifts for the pastor
and his family. There was also purse for
Mrs Campbell. After several hours had been
pleasantly spent the visitors dispersed, wish
ing the pastor and his vile Drlgnt christmas
and happy New Year.
The new rural free delivery, which is now
in operation here is the cause of much incon-
yenience to the citizens, many OF whom are
longing for a return to the old star route SER
vice. Before the present outrageously bung-
ling arrangement we had reliable carrier and
our mails were always promptly delivered.
The postmasters were polite and attentive to
their duties and there were no causes for COM
plants. There are no complaints about the
present carrier, but it is the system that is so
very Objectionable. Formerly we received
The UNION promptly on Saturday mornings
when everybody was looking for it. Now we
do not get 1t until Monday.
A large number of young folks gathered on
Tuesday night at the home of the Misses
Owens, near Sunnybrook, and several hours
were most pleasantly spent Music and games
were the chief features. Refreshments, in
Guiding all the delicacies of the season, were
served. The company reluctantly departed at
a late hour.
Farmers are busily engaged filling their ice
houses As a rule the ice secured is of finer
quality than that harvested last winter.
Owing to the inclemency of the weather and
the condition of the roads the attendance at
Y. p C. E. at Chestnut Grove Church last Sun
day evening was not so large usual. It is
hoped the members will lose none of their for
mer activity and that they will attend the meet
ings in larger number. This will be especially
gratifying to the pastor.
The holidays here are passing in the usual
way Old Santa Claus visited many homes
and with bis lavish distribution of presents
gladdened the hearts of many little ones.
Those who expected to keep their eyes open
long enough to see the old elf were disappoin-
ted, as sleep overcame them and the oppor-
tunity was lost at least for another year.
