J Jacksonville and Sunnybrooks 10th Dis
! trict.-About noon on Wednesday. October
| sd, the frame dwelling of Mr.. John Cook. ST..
on the county road north Of Sweet Air, was
destroyed by fire. At the time there was no
one at home except Mr.. Cook, who has been
bedridden from paralytic stroke for three
years. and his youngest daughter, Miss Bertha
Cook, who kept house for her father and
brothers. 1T was fortunate circumstances
that one Of the SONS returned home Just in
time to rescue his father from the burning
house. The neighbors responded promptly to
the alarm, but the flames spread so rapidly
that it was impossible to save much of the con-
tents Of the house A few vaIuables were
saved by Miss Cook. who worked like hero.
She has the sympathy of many friends in the
destruction Of her home and they have done
all in their powor to cheer and comfort her.
The estimated loss is about 81, 600. with only
$500 insurance-not enough to cover the value
of the contents of the house.
The funeral of Edwin T. Isenock, son of
Mr.. C. G. Isenock. who died suddenly in Bal
more, took place on Thursday afternoon at
Chestnut Grove Church and was largely at
tended by relatives and sympathizing friends.
Rev. Thomas E. Copes, pastor of Towson M.
e. Church, conducted the services, assisted by
Rev. William L. Schmalhorst, pastor Of the
church. There were number of beautiful
floral tributes. The pail bearers were Messrs.

mock. Oscar Ensor and Emil and Charles job
lonowsky.
There are number of pretty and well Gull
tivated farms in this section OF the county
and they are admired by all who pass this
way. Our people generally are thrifty and
law-abiding and hence we are contented and
happy. 1t is often wondered at why 80 many
of the young folks leave us to take up their
homes elsewhere, especially in Baltimore.
A very large congregation attended the
communion service at Chestnut Grove Church
last Sunday morning. Twelve persons united

We have not yet learned whether or not the
Sweet Air Lyceum will be revived for the

so successfully conducted it will receive the
encouragement of everybody.
