Without Water.

kNIr. John III. Weldon is apublic SER
want without water on his premises.
Mr.. Weldon is one of the keepers of
the severn bridge, and lives in the
house on the bridge. All the water for
drinking and cooking purposes has
to be obtained at the spring of the
Government Farm, nearly third of "a
mile away, and il is reached by many
a climb up and down dale. Water is
so precious an article at the Weldon
house that thirsty traveller can scarce
get drink of il as il would nearly
keep hand running to the spring all
the time to supply the numerous re-
quests from those who pass that way.
In winter the question of water is
considerably aggravated. The issue of
well and pump on the public road
near the bridge or not has been on the
tapis for some time, and, if they were
supplied they would be, not only a act
of justice TO the bridge keeper and
his family, but would be a great con
venience TO man and beast of the
travelling public. No doubt many a
horse on that road if he could write
his name, would join in the petition
to the County Commissioners TO hurry
up it'll that pump and well.

Hunting Coon On Government Farm

The large walnut tree on the Gov
eminent Farm, on the northwest side
of the public road, near the Severn
bridge, was set on fire yesterday ar
ternoon and greatly damaged. Short
ly before the flames were discovered
three colored persons were seen gath
ering cornstalks out of the field, it is
supposed, to start the fire. To drive
a coon out of the hollow in the tree is
thought to have been the object of the
originators of the fire. The tree was
worth a hundred coons.

a Paper Wedding Celebrates Second
Anniversary-A Game Involving
knowledge of Characters
Used in Music.
A Paper Wedding.

A paper wedding celebrates the sec
ond anniversary, and it may be the
jolliest kind of an affair with little
trouble and small expense. These oc-
casions should be confined to the fam
lily and intimate friends and in conse-
quence be very informal, full of good
comradeship and sincerity.
Table cloths and napkins come in
really artistic patterns and are just
the thing to use, also paper flowers to
decorate with and for the centerpiece.
Years ago when hot houses were an
almost unknown quantity except with
the very rich, flowers of paper were
always used and considered the height
of fashion. Doilies of lace paper come
in all sizes, also paper holders for
bon-bons, sailed nuts and ices, so the
linen.
Have the snapping-cracker caps to
put on before refreshments; by having
two of each color partners may be
chosen. If the hostess wishes and it is
practical, the guests may be asked to
come in costumes of paper. The girls
can achieve most charming toilets by
purchasing for a trifie the last years
patterns from a modiste or a pattern
maker. The men will probably have
to content themselves with neckties of
paper, and huge boutoniere. Por-
there's and window draperies made
from strips of crepe paper are aston
ishingly pretty, especially in pink and
white. To make the decorations still
more "papery" quantities of Japanese
lanterns, parasols and fans may be
used. For amusement a game could
be concocted from the flags of all ma
lions" which are of paper and come
in an envelope for the sum of ten
cents. To the person guessing the
most award a prize of a box of sta
tionery or any of the numerous ar
ticles made from paper.
