St. Anthony's News.

Monday morning bright and early we
start old "Liz" for her journey over the
roads far and near to find the news which
here appears.
Monday morning the funeral of James
Kelly of near Thurmont took place at st.
Anthopy's parish church. 1ntermsnt in
the old cemetery on the bill.
Tuesday morning the funeral OF Miss
Lucy v. Knott of Hampton Valley took
place from st. Anthony's church. In
terment was made in the old cemetery
on the hill.
Wednesday morning we continue with
"Lizzie" and as we passed by the COL
lege we noticed nearly all the students
going home for Easter. We proceed to
to Emmitsburg to see how all these bows
would be accommodated in the small lone
coach of the Emmitsburg railroad. The
Western Maryland officials sent in two
coaches to accommodate them.
Wednesday tenebrae services were held
at the College Chapel.
Holy Thursday marked the special Ho-
i ~ Week services in all churches. The
repository at St. Anthony's and the Col
lege were very beautiful. The watchful
hours at St. Anthony this year, especial
ly during the deep hours of the night,
were better attended than in former
years. Owing to the Indictment weather
of Thursday evening the Seminarians at
the College did not make their journey
to St. Anthony. Services we're conduct
ed by Rev. G. H. Tragesser, the pastor.
At this service the pastor announced the
death of His. Eminence, Cardinal Gibbons.
Following the announcement, Rev. Ira
gesser delivered very instructive SER
mon.
Friday morning services began at 7
o'clock. In the evening Rev. Albauck
delivered beautiful sermon on the Pas
sion. Saturday morning services began
at 6 o'clock.
Easter Sunday the first mass at Z, at
which time practically all present took
communion. 1t has been very gratifying
to the pastor to note the attendance at
the Lenten Services this past Lent.
Now for the moving days. Old Liz"
has to run to keep up with all the filters.
We pass the old home of BENZ. Hobbs
and here We find George Lingg and fam
lily located. having vacated the Jourdan
property recently purchased by D. Cal
laghan. Over past the Jourdan place we
find Edw Shorb and family located. hav-
ing removed from the D. Callaghan ten
ant house on the Hickey Place. Passing
the College house formerly occupied by
Mrs. Fred Braun we find Prot. Thos. j.
Norris, having removed from the Legarde
property. In the Legarde property we
find Mrs. Henry Eckenrode and family.
At the D. F. Roddy farm near Franklin
vile we find Mr.. and Mrs. Robert Feitz.
These are few of the changes this eek.
Ii any have been omitted We shall strive
to locate them for next issue.
Ground has been broken for the erec-
ton Of new house to be erected on the
D. F. Roddy property near Clairvau'
Schoolhouse.
Take notice to recent meeting of thu
) Frederick County Farmers Association
held at the Court House on Saturday
Note how they would cut the tax rate
at the schools expense. Two offices ir
their list we note they desire to abolish
are the County Truant Officer and thu
County Probate Officer. From the sen
timent so far prevalent in this section
we would be very sorryeto see either o
= these offices lost. The position Of tn
D Truant Officer we feel sure is a very i'm
t portant one as children who do not 60 t.
: school and have no just reason for stay
= ing away are brought to task by this of
3 ficer and made to attend, while the Pro
baton Officer, Miss Mary J. Mum, o
3 Frederick, has been a great assistanc
to Judge Glenn H. Worthlngton, Judg
n of the Juvenile Court, in securing evi
y dence in disposing of cases of neglecte
children. We certainly do not envy eithe
= Mr.. Harshman or Miss Mum in thei
:. positions, but we feel sure allin this sec
: ton will cooperate with them at all time:
: The parish school reopened Tuesday
The College will reopen Friday.
