Easter Services.

Easter was appropriately observed at
the Methodist Episcopal Church on Sun
day. AT the morning service the pastor,
Rev. 2. H. Webster, delivered an able
sermon, and the music rendered by the
choir was exceptionally fine. The chancel
Of the church was beautifully decorated
with profusion Of potted plants and
flowers.
At the evening service, which was in
charge Of the Sunday school, special
program Of responsive readings, recita-
tons and music was given. The primary
department had no small part in the ex-
ercises. and the little folks showed careful
training in the splendid manner in which
their various songs and recitation were
rendered. A large choir assisted with the
music, which had for its beautiful theme
the risen Christ.

PHONE MEETING.
Seventh Annual Stockholders Meet
ING Of the Cecil Farmers Tele-
phone Company.
COMPANY HAS SUCCESSFUL YEAR

The seventh annual stockholders meet
ing OF the Cecil Farmers Telephone Com
pany was held in Woodmen's Hall, Rising
Sun, on Saturday, the 18th inst.
The presidents and treasurers reports
showed the company to be in very thrifty
condition. The energies of the directors
during the past year had been largely
devoted to reducing the initial indebted
ness of the company rather than to further
increase in extensions of lines and new
business. The treasurer's report showed
that the indebtedness had been reduced
one-half besides meeting the expenses OF
several hundred dollars for new equip
ment for switchboard. The net earnings
of the company we're over ten per cent.
After full discussion Of the matter il was
voted not to pay dividend this year but
to apply the proceeds to wiping out the
Indebtedness. The company now has ago
phones in operation. The plant is being
kept in first class condition and fair
amount charged off each year for depre-
citation, showing that the financial condi-
ton of'the company is greatly improving
each succeeding year.
Three directors whose terms expired
were reelected. Messrs. Pogue, Biles and
Reynolds.
At the conclusion Of the stockholders
meeting, the board Of directors organized
as follows: President, R. K. Rawlings;
1st Vice Prest., Elwood Balderston; I'd
VicesPrest., /. Wayne Reynolds; Secy.,
Cecil E. Ewing: Treasurer. J. 7. c. Hop
kins. Jr.; Jas. H. Maxwell, Jos. T. Grove,

May Lose promised Industry.

w. H. Foster, general agent of the
National Fireproofng Company, Of
Pittsburg, Pa. reports that his company
may not locate the proposed clay works on
Red Hill, near Elkton, Notwithstanding it
has bought tract of nearly 400 acres Of
land there with clay deposits in almost in
exhaustible quantities on it. The reason
assigned is because the Pennsylvania
Railroad Company will not. or at least has
not, offered the company what is termed
a reasonable freight rate. The Elkton
improvement Company has taken up the
matter and referred it to its executive
committee for immediate investigation.
