The attendance at the meetings of Sweet
Air lyceum is not SO large this winter as it was
last and this is strange in view of the fact that
the programs are always interesting. Last
Saturday night the discussion was on the fol-
lowing:
"Resolved 1t is the sense of this lyceum that
the President acted unwisely in sending the
fleet of warships from the Atlantic to the Pa
cific coast"
Messrs Edward ]. O'Donovan and Elmer R.
Halle spoke affirmatively and Messrs. VIM. @.
Erbe and Alexander Guthrie spoke negatively.
The judges decided in favor of the resolution
4 to 1. Before the debate the usual literary
program was rendered, among those taking
part being Messrs. Thomas Burk, BENJAMIN
Burk, Ernest G. Dance Edward J. o. Donovan
and Misses Eva Nau, Bertha Burk and Mabelle
Guthrie. Mr.. Elmer R. Halle, president of
for the New Year" The tariff will be dis.
cussed at the meeting on Saturday night,
January 25th.
Apparently the grip has subsidized and the
doctors have little respite from their arduous
labor. 1t seems strange that some preventive
cannot be found for this troublesome malady
Its prevalence has been great annoyance, to
say nothing of the suffering it has entailed.
The weather continues very mild and those
who have not secured any Iceland this is the
case with nearly everybody-are growing APP
prehensive about the matter But there is
time yet for plenty of cold weather
Mr. John Smith and Mr.. William Burk
have been very busy with their steam rigs
saving lumber and shredding fodder. The
weather has been much in their favor.
Mrs Howard Jackson, of Jacksonville, has
been visiting relatives and friends in Baltimore.
The leap year joke is getting to be a back
number Very few if any of the girls take
the matter seriously and it is altogether right
and proper that they don't. Some of the leap
year parties are very enjoyable, however.
Mr.. and Mrs. John Ensor, who had been
very sick with grip, are able to be out again.
Their daughter, Mrs. Robert Miller, of Jarretts-
vile has been visiting them.
Elijah Quickly, an aged and highly respected
colored resident of this section of the county,
died on the 18th instant at the home of his
son, James Quickly, near Sweet Air. About
two years ago he was stricken with paralysis,
since which time he had not been able to get
about. He was in all respects good citizen
and had the confidence of his white neighbors.
For many years Elijah was sexton of Chestnut
Grove Church and always performed his duties
faithfully. He is survived by widow and
six children.
The G. E. meeting at Chestnut Grove Church
was led last Sunday evening by Mr.. Alfred
Day, of Baltimore, who spoke interestingly
on Songs of the Heart" The attendance was
good. Nj.
