The Lyceum Festival. " or vaudeville
,,iist closed here last week was much en-
Soyed by its patrons, but most OF all, by
chose whose guarantee made the perfor.
-niances possible And the people are
satisfied, and whose business is it? Il
she people chose to send their money tC
Sears. Roebuck & Company, whose bust
ness is it but why should some people
always be CRYING, ''patronize your home
Dealers" if the purchaser is satisfied
Where is the consistency in cUndemning
A people in sending their money away
from home, because they think they are
syetting their goods cheaper or at least
getting what they want. and in patron
izing a travelling troupe that demands its
money in advance. and carries away from
she town nearly all that is paid it? We
believe in patrOnizing home industries /;
but when home industry has not what
you want, and won't keep all you want,
chen it is ones privilege to send where
one can get what he wants, and pay the
price asked for it, But when a travelling
troupe is not willing to stand on its own
merits, and demands its pay in advance,
conditions are changed But, if the peo-
pie are satisfied, whose business is it
They pay the bill. 20, consistency thou
art jewel -
We understand most of the tomato

decided what the Milton canneries will

At members meeting of the NJ.
p. Church, held on Wednesday evening,
where every member of the church stands
on an equal footing, male and female,
the business of the church for the past
year was adjusted. The old Board of
Trustees and Stewards, with few excep- |
tions, was reelected. Miss Virginia |
Jefferson was re elected organist, and |
Delmar White, assistant. George R. |
Davidson was elected delegate to attend |
the Maryland Annual Conference that
convenes at Washington. D. c., on April |
4th, and G. w. Atkins was elected alter
nate. Rev. Frank Holland was asked |
to return, for the sixth year, to this |
charge. Under the circumstances, we
think il would be the part of wisdom for
the Conference to return Mr.. Holland to
Milton. True, Mr.. Holland has served
the church at Milton for Eve years, and
served it faithfully; and now an extraor-
dinary occasion confronts the church.
There has just closed a revival service
unprecedented in the annals of Milton
Eor many years. Many of these converts
have connected themselves with the
church Mr.. Holland represents. Mr..
Holland knows them, and they know
Mr.. Holland. Would it not be better for
Mr.. Holland to return to Milton for an
other year, and look after these converts
We think it would what will the Mary
land Annual Conference think and do
The minister's salary is somewhat in ar
rears, and it is hoped this will be liqui-
dated before the beginning of Confer
ence.
