St. Anthony's News.

Easter Monday we let Liz" rest.
But Tuesday she was called for the test
so we cranked her up and away we went
to pick up the news of recent events.
Last week we promised to secure all
names of persons moving to different
homes. Here are a few we omitted:
Mr.. John Gessy from Clairvaux farm to
tenant house of D. Callahan vacated by
Edw. Shorb Frank McNulty and wife
to Clairvaux farm.
Tuesday afternoon ended practically
all fittings but not the cold spell. Ice
one-fourth inch thick was reported Tues
day, Wednesday and Thursday mornings.
Goodbye fruit, flowers and clover. The
two big magnolia trees, one at the home
of Mrs. Jas. Settler and the other at the
home of Mrs. Alex. Knott, were in full
bloom, but when Mr.. Frost called on
Tuesday night these two Towering trees
were spoiled of all their glory.
Wednesday we located nothing of any
importance so we had pleasure trip.
The County Agent examined fruit trees
and reports about rs per cent loss to
Frederick county
Wednesday evening the Emmitsburg
train came in with an extra load, the col
iege students returning from the Easter
vacation.
In passing, we note that Prof. Thos.
Norris was among the candidates to re-
ceive the fourth degree of the K. of c.
exempliied in Baltimore on last Monday.
Congratulations to the Professor.
Thursday the Clarion came, all Won
dering from where the news came. Not
very hard to find since ''Lizzie" is on the
beat.
Saturday evening a dance was held at
at the home of Mr.. and Mrs. Edward
Ridenour. The guests reported pleas
ant time.
Sunday, beautiful day, found many
hunting for arbutus. In many instances
reports came that it has all been frozen.
Monday Thanksgiving Mass was Of
fered at St. Anthony's. A large number
attended. Thursday High Mass will
be offered for His Eminence, the Cardi-
nal 1t is earnestly hoped large crowd
will attend.
Saturday the College will open the
baseball season with Franklin and Mar
shall as opponents. Coach Dickerman
expresses high hopes of landing the VIC
tory.
Mr.. and Mrs. George Wagner are re-
ceiving congratulations on the birth of
young son.
Mrs. James Settler and little Marguer-
lite Huan spent Tuesday and Wednesday
at the home of Mr.. and Mrs. Robert
Feitz
There will be an eclipse on April 9th.
How many peeps have you so far?
Better count them.
Monday evening while in the Opera
House at Frederick we noticed the fol-
lowing from here and Emmitsburg:
Messrs Edw. Settler, Thos. Marshall,
Chas. Geiselman, Joseph Geiselman, Roy
Gorley, John Wagaman, Chas. Hemler,
and George Eyster; Mrs. Chas. Hemler
and Mrs. Chas. Geiselman; Misses Mary
Knott and Bernadette Jourdan. All
seemed to enjoy "Way Down East" as
we did and feel sure all who witnessed
the picture did the same. The picture
is not at all exaggerated. Plain truths
and facts make it the best picture ever
seen in Frederick county. If you failed
to see il you missed lots. A beautiful
moral.
