Monkton, N. G. r. R.-Dorothy Cornelia,
infant daughter of Rev. and Mrs. 3. A. Potter,
died at st. James rectory on Saturday after
noon last and was buried on Monday at
o'clock.
Mr.. Joshua Hutchins was the recipient of a
pleasant surprise party on Saturday evening
last, the affair having been gotten up by his
wife in honor of his 59th milestone in LIES
journey. His friends and neighbors also had
the sad pleasure of saying farewell to Mr.. and
Mrs. Thomas Mem. Orr, who, on Monday OF
this week, left for Washington to visit Mrs.
Orr's uncle, Mr.. Herbert Miles, after which
they will visit Jamestown. Thence to New
Orleans, from there back to Vancouver's Island,
whence they will sail for their distant home in
Melbourne, Australia.
Mrs. Orr, since infancy, has made her home
with her aunt and uncle, Mr.. and Mrs. Joshua
Hutchins, at 'Hutchins House," My Lady 8
Manor, until about three years ago when her
father, Mr.. J. Pearce Richardson, a successful
business man of Melbourne. was in this country
on business and to visit his kindred and his
daughter returned with him and came back to
Maryland in May of this year the bride of her
fathers partner in business, Mr.. Thomas Mem.
Orr, who, while in Maryland, has made many
friends among bis wifes kindred and others.
They join in wishing Mr.. and Mrs. Orr bon
voyage and many happy returns to America i'll
the coming years.
Mrs. Edwards, of Baltimore, who spent the
summer with her daughter, Mrs. William d.
Curry, of the Manor, has been quite i'll the past
week.
A colt running in pasture field of Mr.. w.
D. Curry was found dead on Tuesday morning.
1t is thought it was struck by lightning during
the heavy storm on Monday evening.
The chronic grumbler need not complain
about the scarcity of rain during the month Of
September, 1907.
The races at Manor Glen track drew large
crowd on Saturday last, but the rain interfered
with the sport.
The agitation over the price of milk paid the
farmers has slightly stirred some of the Monk
ton milk shippers to raise their voices and ask
that the dealers pay them an additional cts.
gallon, which in the end comes off the consul
mer as the dealers forthwith raise the price in
the city. The farmers cannot produce milk at
20 cts. gallon, nor as cheaply as they could
when feed was not so high. In my immature
judgment it is the dealer or middleman who
makes the profit. while the farmer does the
work at loss. I do not see why the dealer
should get a lnrge commission on a gallon
of milk to handle it. particularly when some
of the diaries handle thousands of gallons. 1t
strikes me it would be well to turn the light on
the dealers profits while the agitation over the
milk question is on, and let the farmer, the
dealer and the consumer have square deal all
around.
Mrs. Mollie M Hemp, wife of Mr.. Roy
and Mrs. Joshua McCauley, of Monkton, died
at the home of her parents, on Saturday last.
The funeral took place at Monkton M. E.
Church at 8 o'clock on Monday, conducted by
Rev. Solomon German. The pail bearers were
Messrs. W. E. Miller, G. L. Wheeler, w. R.
Matthews. Harry A. Matthews, Harry Harris
and John T. Young. Mrs. Hemp was native
OF Monkton, member OF the church and Snn-
day school, and while of quiet and retiring
disposition was a woman OF lovely character
and had many warm friends who sincerely re-
greet her early death. Much sympathy is ex-
pressed for her parents and husband in their
sorrow.
Monkton public school reopened last Mon
day with large attendance. The consolida-
ton of this and Corbett school necessitated an
addition to Monkton school building, which
was not finished in time to permit the school
to open on September 10Th. H.
