The winter has been unusually hard

toward furnishing the new church re-
Gently built at the Mills. We have SO

Severe colds are the order of the

I was talking to a prominent citi-
zen of this county few days ago on
the subject of temperance. He said
in part IF the state of Maryland
would pass law that none but pure
whisky should be sold that would stand
thorough test, and then see that
this law was carried out, we would
have but few saloons, and no drunk
ness" He said further, Pure whisky
is a good medicine, and one could
hardly drink enough of it to make him
drunk" The man is quite a popular
fellow in this county, although he Is
not total abstainer as myself, yet
he is a fellow who liz friend to all in
need.
