EAR FRIENDS:

IN With the dryness,
the wetness and the
- holiness, the summer
- of 1859 is just about
to leave us, according to Au-
gustine, who so long ago di-
vided the year into 365 days
and designated the months,
probably naming one for him
self. This brings us to the
very opening of school and
the long nine months ahead
for study. The local schools
are in readiness with all but
about one position filled and
that will be attended to in time.
The boys and girls will also be
ready, some reluctantly SO;
others eager to be on with the
business. The summer has
been one in which we desired
other things but it is just
about passed and we have liv-
ed through it's varying moods,
SO all is well, even if we do
not look the same.
The past week was one for
remembrance so far as Slaugh-
ter Beach is concerned. Each
day brought forth a different
event, well planned and car
ried out until Saturday when
the wind and the rain. brought
the celebration to an end. But
it was good to be reminded of
the other days and to take
part in the present way of cell
ebrating. All hope the firemen
of the resort benefited enough
to add to their equipment for
future use, for which the whole
program was planned. :
Sympathy is being express
ed to Mr.. and Mrs. George A.
Lindenkohl of Salisbury upon
the loss of their last child, a
son, born on August 6, who
died in Baltimore on August
%. He had been given the
name of George Scott Linden
kohl. The parents are well
known here, Mr.. Lindenkohl
being the son of Mr.. and Mrs.
George Lindenkohl of Haven
Lake. His wife was the for

daughter of Mr.. and Mrs. Cas-
