Sweet Air, 10th Disrrict.-The meeting of
the Sweet Air Lyceum last Saturday night was
a decided success. Every nook and crevice of
the hall was crowded with people who, taking
far and near to hear and see and enjoy the
wonders of the local playhouse. The program
was interesting from start to finish and every
body laughed over the debate, for it was both
sublime and ridiculous" The subject was
taken from Tennyson's I'm Memoriam," and
it was Resolved, IT'S better to have loved and
lost than never to have loved at ALL" Rev. w.
L. Schmalhorst and Mr.. J. Howard Fox spoke
affirmatively, and Messrs. Edward ]. O'Dono-
van and Elmer r. Halle, negatively. The
judges, after chuckling over the weighty ut
terances of the orators OF the evening, decided
that it was far better ito have loved and lost'
land everybody else seemed to think the same
way.
Miss Alice Price wrote the "Searchlight,"
the lyceum paper, and nearly everyone got in
the "limelight" before she had finished. This
paper is one of the most interesting features OF
the lyceum. 1t consists mainly of original
poetry, essays and comments on a variety of
timely subjects, well seasoned with 'jokes' on
the various members of more or less personal
nature.
Among those who assisted in the program
were Misses H. Silver Wilson, Alice Price,
Katharine NJ. Patterson and Messrs. Elmer
Price, Ernest Dance and Thomas Burk. The
Sunnybrook orchestra, under the leadership OF
Prof George Treut, furnished music and was
accorded hearty welcome.
Acting on the suggestion of the Monkton
correspondent in last weeks issue of THE
UNION, the following question was selected
for debate December LIST: Resolved, That at
the present time there are greater advantages
and opportunities for the country boy on the
farm than in the industrial trades or the learn
ed professions"
This is timely subject and competent
speakers have been asked to take part in the
discussion. E.

enjoyed.
Much indignation has been expressed by the
farmers of this section over Mr.. August +.
Trappe's interview on the reason why farmers
have such a difficulty to secure farm labor,
which appeared in the Baltimore papers this
week. Mr.. Trappe is secretary to the Bereau Of
of Immigration. He declares that men do not
care to work on the farm because they are
badly fed and paid, which is an unkind re-
Election on Maryland farmers. 1t is surely
undignifed for men who hold official positions
to give vent to such unjust criticisms.
