was listened to with marked attention
and delivered very excellent address.
After he had spoken on this subject,
Hon. Thomas j. c. Williams of Balti-
more, Judge of the Juvenile Court, was
introduced, and his address was greatly
appreciated and enthusiastically receiv-
ed, as. he branched out and gave a splen.
did exposition of the issues in the war,
and read many extracts of interest
from the letters of Washington, ad-
dressed to the people and the soldiers
during the Revolutionary War, and
every one was there voted that it
was very instructive and intellectual
on the subjects. Much praise must
be given the singing by the high school
girls and Prof. Bender, as they sang
several patriotic songs to the delight of
everyone who was there. The speakers
were introduced by Gilmor S. Hamill.
Chairman for Garrett county, who call
ed upon DR.. Shultz to open the meet
ing by invocation, and after the ad-
dresses were delivered the meeting was
closed by the benediction by Rev. j. C.

cation of the war spirit, and stated
that he proposed to return in a short
time, and visit in every possible section
of the county and talk to the people
about the Importance Of organization of
the people for the benefit of our soldiers.
Many thanks are due to the ladies of
the Red Cross for their favor in decorat-
ng the hall, and large number of them
