DEMONSTRATION SUPPER

A departure from the usual way OF
serving church suppers will be made
when the Ladies Mite Society of the
United Brethren Church hold their an
nual supper on December Bird in Town
Hall. They have engaged Mr.. j. r.
Baker of Baltimore, a professional ca
terer, to prepare and serve the supper,
thus eliminating the worry and care
usually involved. The idea of having
the supper served by an outsider may
sound foolish and expensive, but such
is not the case. In plain words, the
supper is merely demonstration.
Mr.. Baker gets his materials from
leading food products manufacturers,
and uses this direct method of getting
the best of these foods before the
public. People who have attended
these suppers say they are great, SO
one is not taking any chances on 60
ing. The only request that Mr.. Ba'
ker makes is that as many people az
possible come to the Hall so as to be
served at 6 o'clock. The price re-
mains unchanged, 35 cents. Come arId
and try this out.

md by which thousands are saved
from death. The lecture was spoken
very interestingly and iluently, and
appealed for larger and more gifts.
A free will Offering of $25.00 was

Before and after the lecture a large

CASE TRIED

Last Friday evening Justice Robert
E. Cadow heard the suit of Evers F.
Weddle against the Commissioners of
Thurmont in a claim for money he
overpaid the Board while acting as
collector of taxes and electric light
funds for the year 1916. The evid-
ence submitted showed that, taking
the statement for the year 1916 rem
dered by he Board and comparing the
actual payments made by Mr.. Weddle,
his payments did exceed somewhat the
amount of charges against him in the
statement. AS there was no evidence
brought forth to contradict this, JUS
tice Cadow rendered verdict in favor
of Mr.. Weddle for $3.50.
The case has been much discussed
for some time and attracted a throng
of spectators who remained until a
bout 1890 p. m. to hear it through.
