G.. E. Social at CarrOlltOn.

Tuesday evening, February 25, was
the scene of a most enjoyable time,
and one long to be remembered by
those who were present. The occa-
sion was a George Washington social,
given by the C. E. Society of Bethel
Church, at the home of its president
and his wife, Mr. and Mrs. K. R.
Taylor, near Carrollton Station. Ow-
ing to the inclement weather quite a
few persons were prevented from at
tending, but in spite of this large
number were present.
Mr.. Taylor's home is an ideal one
for such an occasion, the spacious
parlors being divided by folding
doors. These were thrown open, max
ing it one large room. American
flags were used in abundance for dec
Grating, festooned with red crepe
paper, while in the center Of the
room G.. E. flags were very beautifully
arranged. George and Martha Wash
ington's pictures occupied very con-
spicuous places also. Two members
of the society took the parts of George
and Martha, wearing colonial cos
tunes, and having their hair powder
ed. They were assited by Misses May
and Maude Taylor, Helen Wisner,
Beulah Evans and Mrs. Walter Tay-
lor, all members of the social commit
tee. Each of these ladies wore her
hair powdered and presented a CO.
lonial appearance.
A special program was rendered, as
follows:
Harland Greene
Song...........:" All Hail the Power of Jesus Name
Song. Onward Christian Soldiers
Miss lorraine Taylor
Biography of Washington. Miss A. Myrtle Caps
Speech, John Henry Jones. Master Leroy Taylor
Song........... Aud Lang Syne
A memory test followed the pro-
gram, in which nineteen questions
were asked on the life of Washington.
Miss Vera Oursler answered the larg-
est number of questions and received
framed picture of Washington, while
a miniature Ratchet, with a bunch of
cherries attached, was presented to
Marion Taylor for answering the least
number of questions.
A G. E. pin had been hidden and
the guests were asked to hunt for 1t.
Every one Joined in in true G. e.
spirit. After a general search. Ross
Taylor proved to be the finder and
was given very unique and hand
some match receiver, made from
real cherry wood, and decorated with
Washington's picture and miniature
hatchets. Small hatchets, half of
which contained the names of the
States, and the other half the capt.
tolls, were distributed by George and
Martha" These were matched and
general invitation to the dining
room was extended. On entering they
found table we'll filled with cake
and chocolate, and in the centre of
the table was a small cherry tree fill
ed with large, red cherries, which met
the gaze of all the spectators. Each
did justice to the tempting things set
before them.
At late hour the merry party re-
paired to their respective homes, but
not before thanking their host and
hostess for their kind hospitality, as
well as the committee for having ar
ranged such an interesting program,
and hoping to have the pleasure of
attending another such one in the
near future.

AN OLD SUBSCRIBER.
He INDUCES in "reminiscences Of the
Long, Long Ago.

Hampstead, Feb. 20, 1908.
Editor of the Advocate.
This is my goth birthday and l have
been reading your paper for more than
40 years. Was reading it at the time
the former editor was murdered and
have been taking it ever since. l lived
IL years in Baltimore county before 1t
was divided and 72 years in Carroll
county, and have been in IL States and
have never moved out of the house l
was born in. I knew all the men
who surveyed the county, and all of
them are dead except one, Lewis Will
liams, now resident of Indiana, who
was one of the chain carriers. l knew
all the judges and sheriffs this county
has had except the present associate
Judge and present sheriff. l knew the
first Judge, Dorsey. He lived in How
ard county, and would get on his horse
on Monday morning at his home and
ride to Westminster and call court
and say "Now, gentlemen, it is seeding
time and l want to go home Saturday"
and Saturday he would adjourn court
and get on his horse and ride home.
Nicholas Kelley was the first sheriff
of Carroll county, and l can name all
the officers the county has had since.
| do not think there is in Westminster
a man that was a man when this
town was made county seat. l am
proud of my county to think we have
the lowest taxes of any county in the
State, and am glad we have some OF
the men like David Stoner living yet
that helped to keep the taxes down.
I am proud of our United States Sena-
tor, VIM. P. White, that was born the
same year l was, 1924. If we had
some older men like him in our House
of Delegates we would have less eX-
pense and more work. l voted for him
for governor and United States Sena-
tor also.
We have only three men, and l am
one of them, who were in Hampstead
at the time the county was made, and
we were children at that time. l am
now "a years old. l rode on the first
railroad in Maryland. 1t was oper-
ated by a horse and ran from Owings
Mills, Baltimore county to Baltimore.
I went to Baltimore on said railroad
with my mother in 1886 and deposited
in bank 5000 in silver, it being the
nearest bank. / was IL years old. In
1912 l rode over the BE- o. r. R. from
Baltimore to Cumberland, the terminus
of said road at that time.
l think when our House of Delegates
adjourns it should be for eight or ten
years. By that time they would per-
haps find something to do. I have been
waiting every day for them to pass a
bill to increase their salaries, but they
have been too busy to do so.
I had a surprise party at my house
Saturday night, at which four genera
lions were personal---very. of my
children, grandchildren and great
grandchildren, aged from 81 years to
1 year.

IL the weather is unfavOrable, the So
cial will be postponed to the follow
ing Friday. Refreshments will be
sold for the benefit of the church and
good program will be presented. A
cordial invitation is extended to the
public.
Owing to lack of space, we are COM
PEELED to carry over to next week the
larger part of our county correspon-
dence. This is not done because the
news from our neighboring towns is
less desirable, but because the bulk
of it comes in after much other mat
ter is in type. With our new equip
ment and enlarged paper, we hope
soon to be in position to handle all
copy that comes in.
March did not come in like a lamb,
nor yet like lion. There was little
wind, but enough hail, rain, sleet and
ice to make outdoor life uncomfort-
able. Since the LIST the weather has
not been unpleasant. The average
March temperature for the last 81
years has been AZ degrees and the
warmest March in that time was that
of 1903, when the average temper
ature was so degrees. Last year the
highest temperature in all those years
was reached, when ON March 22,it rose
to SO degrees. The coolest was de-
grees, on March 4, 1873.
Western Maryland College relay
team met Delaware College relay at
the Hopkins track last Saturday night.
Delaware failed to show the form that
was reported about them and w. M.
c. won very easily. Delaware showed
poor judgment in using their best
men first. Stu1tz took first relay and
finished eight yards ahead. Turner
was second and made 10 more. Brown
increased the lead about 20 more and
Marcus, the last for w. M. c., increas-
ed it Is more, making lead at the
finish of over so yards. This was the
last event on the program and was
supposed to take the place of the an
nual virginia-Hopkins race. Owing
to the one-sidedness, 1t was not inter-
esting except from a Western Mary
land point of view.
