Sunday was an ideal day for the
161st anniversary at Barratt's
Chapel. Hundreds of worshippers
thronged the grove and listened to
the fine sermon and other features
of the program. Attractive pro-
grams with the picture of the chap
ell on the cover were distributed
Many will keep them as souvenirs
of the day.
Sunday morning, World Com
munion Service will be held at
Trinity Methodist Church at IL a.

The Frederick Volunteer Fire
Company was called out at a. m,
on Wednesday of last week to ex-
tinguish a fire on South Jackson
street. An elderly colored woman,
Lille Tatman, had lighted her oil
stove, which blazed up beyond her
control and set fire to her house.
She was trying to fight the fire
alone when neighbors discovered
the blaze. The house and contents
were destroyed, leaving her home
less. The pastor, Rev. Gibson, has
given her a temporary home until
some other provision can be made
for her.
