Sparrows Point, Md, Master
William Jarvis of Norfolk. Mrs.
Maud Jarvis and daughter, Mar

who acted as skipper, pilot, oars
man, wheelsman. and man of all
work. They reported as having
a good time and caught a dozen
and half good fish, besides toads
etc. Miss Margaret. who failed
to provide herself with a line was
something like the virgins who
failed to take a supply of oil. there
were no lines to spare and she
could only sit and regret her fol-
ly when too late to make amends.
The drought still continues. 1t
is the dryest time in this locality
that | have ever seen, and so far
as ! know, il NAV be the dryest
lime since the days of Elijah and
Abab. About four weeks ago
there was the best prospect for a
good crop Of corn that | ever saw
and now it is the poorest. But
VIC have no right to complain
about such things. it is all in the
hands of the Great Sovereign of
the universe, who sendeth rain
upon the just, and the unjust He
wlthholdS the showers and the

exist; all showing upon what a
slender thread hangs ali our

that from a district s. wide and

our banner from trailing in the
