Gatherings such as were had at Shi-

a few Sundays back. should be en-

everybody was happy. Relatives,
friends and neighbors met ana good

it's worth the price Nothing strength

Grea; Day at Shiloh

Probably the greatest day in many
respects in the history OF shiloh
church was observed there last sun
day, the event being the third quar-
terly convention of the Randolph
County Singers Association. The
crowd was estimated to number at
least $500 people and not a thing
occurred during the entire day to mar
the pleasure Of anyone. The crowd
was highly entertained throughout the
day. The hospitality of the Shiloh
community was showered upon the
visitors in great shape as is always the
case whenever public gathering is
had there. An excellent program for
the days exercises had been arranged
by President stephens and his help
ers and the whole community was
there to help make the occasion sue
cess and not a thing was left undone.
Promptly at IL o'clock the conven-
tion was opened with prayer by the
Rev. J. A. Allison, pastor Of the church
at that place. and after singing several
of the old, familiar hymns, by
the entire congregation announcement
was made by Rufe Wiley. one of the
best masters Of ceremonies that ever
undertook to handle a program or
spread a feast ,as to the arrangement
for dinner and personal public in
present to make himself at home and
partake of their hospitality. And the
dinner, it was there in super abun-
dance-fresh mutton, ham, chicken.
cakes, pies, pickles, tomatoes, ice cold
spring water. enough to feed almost
twice as many as were present. If
anyone went away hungry 1t was his
own fault. 1t was great feed and the
arrangement for serving was perfect.
After dinner it was decided that
owing to the enormity of the crowd
the program would have to be rendered
in the grove. Singing classes present
registered and at l o'clock the sing
ing began, led by the shiloh Juniors.
a class of perhaps twenty children,
none of whom were more than fifteen
years of age. Other classes followed
by rounds, Peach Orchard No, 1, Shan
non. Pocahontas and Shiloh Seniors.
We have attended several singing con-
ventions but never have we heard bet
ter singing than on this occasion. Ev-
cry class present had a fine collection
of songs and rendered them well The
crowd was especially attentive and
gave applause at the end of every
number.
At the proper time opportunity was
given for bids for the next convention.
John ID. Campbell. in short, snappy
address, placed Skaggs in nomination
and that place was unanimously 'se-
lected for the fourth quarterly conven-
tion, which will be held on the fifth
Sunday in September. Adjournment
was taken at 4 o'clock

"NO SHOOTING

The Commissioners of Thurmont
have posted signs throughout the town
calling attention to the penalty for
firing explosives within the corporate
limits. The fine ranges from $500 to
$4,000 for each offense. The celebra-
ton Of the Fourth is somewhat pre-
mature in Thurmont, having been un-
der way for three or four days, and
this has occasioned the "No Shooting"
notice and also called forth a protest
from a number of citizens.

SOME DRINKERS

Each year thirsty Americans con-
sumo 1000, 100000 bottles soft drinks,
and this total does not include bever-
ages such as near beer made from ce-
reals. These drinks come from 10000
bottling establishments and over no.
900 soda counters. The skilled chem
ist has provided host of flavors
which the consumer cannot distinguish
from the original. The aroma as well
as the color and flavor of fruits is be-
ing initiated. These modern bever-
ages contain nothing dangerous to
health, but the food and drugs act
demands that such products be labeled
for what they are.

and cakes that will be used in the
mess during the month. Pies and
cakes will deserved to the boys prac-
tically every day and they will have
some sort of fresh fruit at almost
every meal. Major Small said it
hasn't been so many years since he
was a boy himself and he therefore
has very good idea of just what a
boy likes to eat.
1t is quite evident from the above
list that the call "come and get it,
