ANNOUNCEMENT
Of the Completion and Dedication of
The New Methodist Episcopal Church

1t is with thankfulness in our
hearts that we wish to make known
that the new Methodist church is
practically completed and furnished
and that it is our purpose to ledicate
it to the service Of God on Sunday,
January 9Th, Of the New Year.
We feel that ou friends, the mem
bers of the sister churches of the
city, holding in mind the occasions
of like nature in the history of their
organizations, will rejoice with us
in the completion of our new church
home, and that all good citizens of
the city and surrounding country will
find responsive chords in their hearts
IN unison with the spirit of the oc-
casion, and with this conviction we
cheerfully enter upon the program of
the approaching Dedication Week.
To you all, our friends, we extend
a cordial invitation to lbe present al
these services. Without doubt you
are aware that this building and its
equipment have not been made posi-
BILE without the sacrifice of much
time and treasure, however, we wish
here to state that it has been the
determined purpose of the Building
Committee to make the most posi-
bic out of the means committed tc
them. The contract was not let foi
a certain price when the structure
was begun, but the contractor as
sumed the responsibility of its erec
tion for certain per cent of its ac.
tual cost, and we have founl that he
has been true to us in every particu
lar. Our interests have been his in
terest; he has had competent fore
man on the job all the time and thu
artisans he has employed have beer
COMPETENT and trustworthy.
The material used has been pur
chased as needed, and we have ha'
the benefit of falling market Mucl
of the material and equipment hav
been furnished by members of tn
church at actual cost. The equip
ment furnished by local merchants
not members, has been sold to US o.
5 very elase margin, and we feel tina
the plant could hardly have bee
built for less money,
We believe the building will be al
asset to the city of no little valu
and take this opportunity to thanl
our fellow townsmen and friends O.
the surrounding country for thei
sympathetic interest, often expresse,
during it's construction. We wisl
to call attention to the program O.
Dedication Week" to be found else
where in this paper, and again so
licit your interest and attendance.

L. r. DIEHL NEW MANAGER
AT GRAY FURNITURE STORE

l.. r. Diehl has resigned his posi-
tion with the FIRST National Bank and
will take over the management of the
T. l.. Gray & Son Furniture store.
Mr. Diehl has, made his home in Lib
eral several years and has proven his
business ability, so it is safe to predict
that the store will be in good hands
Mr.. Gray has not been in good
health and his varied business gave
him little more than he cared to
handle. However he will not be away
all the time and will assist Mr.. Dehl
until he gets onto the fine points OF
the furniture store.

GOOD FELLOWS MADE
A MERRY CHRISTMAS
With Truck Load of Good Things
4 They Visited the Homes of the
Unfortunate and Needy

For many years an organization
known as the Goodfellows Club has
distributed provisions AMI gifts to
, Me needy families of the city. This
year the Goodfellows did their bit
that no home should be dreary OH
Christmas Day.
K E. d. Cooper acted as general man.
aFer this year and put in several
days Of hard work that everything
be worked out as nicely as possible.
With the able assistance of Henry
Co.'S and R. w. Dickerson, something
liyeE$le8.5O was raised through do
pati6ns Wy business men and others
| However, getting the money was
about the easiest part of the work
In order to arrive at the needs to
be met, committees went over the
city, looking up cases where help was
needed. This was found to be toe
greatka task for the limited time, SC
everyone was asked to help and many
were the responses.
ONE Of the first things done was
the Purchasing of beef. The crit
ter Weighed thousand pounds. Chas
Neff and son, Burris Wright, O. l.
Cain and e. A, Hazel assisted in get
ting the cow to town, killing anc
butchering her, and cutting the meal
into pieces for distribution.
While this was going on, groceries
and toys were bought, and when ev
erything had been prepared, Mayor
VI. ". Griffith got truck from Jno
w Baughman, had it Appropriated!
decorated. Ray Kennedy was dressed
as Santa Claus and had big pacl
which contained all sorts of toys
Griffith drove the truck, Henry Cos
delivered the more substantial gift
while Santa Claus looked after TN
needs of the children.
There were all sorts of toys for tn
children of all ages, there being mor'
than two dozen nice dolls in the lot
kennedy carried good assortmen
in his pack and distributed the pres
ents according to his idea of VIVA
i would be most acceptable, and !
u every instance the kids were piease'
with their presents.
In all, twenty-seven families wer'
visited during the day. Agood as
sortment of eatables were left a
each place First, generous por
ton of good beef, tim potatoes, flour
milk, cranberries, candy and nut
and at most places some coal.
The Light Grain & Milling Com
pany gave the committee twenty IL
pound sacks of Lights Best Flou
and these were distributed. The Sta
Lumber Company, Paul W. Ligh
Lumber Company and the Fortn'
Lumber Company and M. E. Clark
each gave two tons of coal, making
six tons. The other donations wer'
in cash and averaged around $2.5'
each, and some other merchnadis
/ gifts.
1t is said by those who have helpe'
in former years that the management
this year was the best ever, and tina
through the merchandise donation
Z and the buying arrangements effect
ed, the money went about twice a
far as on former occasions.
The activity of the Goodfellow
has created an insistent demand TO
an Associated Charities, and this l
movement which should grow int
a good working organization. Unit
this is formed, persons in need ma,
appeal to w. B. King, secretary o
.esa Chamber of Commerce and thei
needs will have attention.

Giant Hatchetite Fullback With

Work This Week.

George Washington may be unable
to use big Josh Licarlone and Reds
Schofield on Saturday against Wash.
ington College at Chestertown.
Licarione worked out Yesterday,
but discovered he was badly bruised
in the leg, and Schofield was unable
to get into uniform owing 10 bruised
hip. With Earle Manson on the side
lines with a bad foot, the Hatchctite
backfield appears TO be pretty well
shot.
Springston, Crouch, Loehler, and
either owen or Wells will probably
start in the game Saturday in the
backfield. With Ptak and shaw on
the ends and Wheeler and Connolly in
tackles, the Hatchetites will have the
flanks pretty well protected. lavish
and Mulligan In the guards and
Hughes in center will fill out the line.
Licarione may be unable 20 get into
scrimmage today. in which event he
will probably start Saturday. There
is every indication. however, that a
green backfield will take up the going
on Saturday at Chestertown.
The Iatchetites are looking forward
to a stiff engagement with Gallaudet
on Armistice Day at the American

This is Landis' ACE in the hole" in
his difficulties with Babe Ruth over

OF the reasons why the baseball COM
missioner has been unusually slow in
making a decision in the case Of Ruth

About this time the Dodgers, who
had come under the management of
Wilbert Robinson in 1914. began to
make themselves a power in the Ma
tional League. They won the pen
nant in 1916 and Ebbets recouped
some of his losses. Since then Brook.
lyn has remained in the first di.
vision and the club has made money.
Robinson won another flag in 1920,
but, due largely TO the clubs fail
ure to make the necessary replace
ments for him, he finished fourth this
year. There was much dissatisfac
ton over this in Brooklyn and toward
the end of the season the attendan nee
look big flop.
1t was then that Ebbets began to
seriously consider retiring from base

restoration of his health. which has
been worrying him for the last year
or two. And it was then that Cohan
