The Salisbury High School is much
interested in a debate on Woman Suf-
frage to be held by the literary socie-
ties on the 30th instant. There is much
discussion, too, over the prize which
the Just Government League of wi-
comico County offered to the ninth,
tenth and eleventh grades for the best
essay on Votes for Women. There is
some fine suffrage sentiment among
these ladies and gentlemen and there
are some "foemen worthy of their
steel."

In Memory of John C. Bentley

The following address in memory of
the late Mr. John C. Bentley, was
made by Mr. Charles F. Kirk at the
meeting of the Montgomery Farmers
Club at the Home of Washington B.
Chichester, near Olney, on January
17th:

"What lack the valleys and mountains
That once were green and gay?
What lack the bubbling fountains?
Only the sound of a voice,
Tender and sweet and low,
That made the Earth rejoice,
A year ago.

What lack the tender flowers?
A shadow is on the sun:
What lack the merry hours,
That I long that they were done?
"
