A WORD TO OUR SUBsCRIEERs.-We com
mence this week sending out bills for sub
scription due this office, and We hope the
gentle reminder will not be lost upon those
indebted to us Many Of the bills presented
are for small amounts, but from their num-
Der it can readily he understood that the
aggregate is not matter Of Indifference to
us.
The financial crisis bears as heavily upon
newspaper publishers ms upon any other class,
and those who owe small amounts, as well as
those for whose Indebtedness we have waited
patiently for some time, should Lear this
fact in mind and send us what they owe us.

of the death of Mr. William NJ. Johnson of
this county, which took place at the residence
of his father-in-law, Mr.. Noryille Clayton, in
Baltimore city, on Monday night Mr.. John
son had recently been appointed to position
in the Custom House, and was discharging
his duties up to the time of his death. The
Gd-ette says
lie had been complaining for some time
past, but refused to take any medicine or to
consult IL physician. On Tuesday evening he
took supper with the family, but shortly after
complained OF being unwell and, without
his knowledge, DIR. ]. Brooke Boyle was sent
for, and he prescribed for him. After the
doctor left Mr.. Johnson became worse and
the doctor was sent for n second time, but
before he arrived johnson died. DR.. Boyle
gave it as his opinion that the deceased died

This most excellent lady and eloquent preach
cr held Il meeting in Dublin, at the NJ. E. Church
two weeks ago. The meeting was large, the
church being crowded to its utmost capacity.
Caroline, after II beautiful prayer, preached Il
most beautiful and loving sermon. Mrs Talbot
is Il member of the Orthodox Society Of Friends
Her preaching is chastc, eloquent refined and
persuasive, and is well calculated to reach the
heart of the sinner. This devout lady has tray
ced thousands of miles to preach glad tidings
10 needy sinners. She has visited iails, penlten-
tiaries and ball rooms, to preach and pray with
convict prisoners. She is spending her time for
the good of her fellow creatures, without money
and without price, and she Is well calculated TO
DO the work of her Divine Master.

A LONG-LIvED FANILY.-.The Heaps
family, in this county, presents record of
greater longevity than any other family in
the country or perhaps in the State. There
are now living in Dnhin district four broth
ers Of this family whose names and a@cs are
as follows: William, aged 81 years and /
month, John, AGED 81 years and Il months ;
Archibald, AGED - years and 4 months; and
Elijah, a~cl Is years and ) months. They
have sister living in York county, whose
age, which we are permitted to state, as she
is married lady, is SO years and months.
The combined age of the five i; II years
and months. Their average age is 50 ycais
and , months They are children of Archi-
bald Heaps, who in 1898 purchased 400 acres
of land on Broad Creek, in Dublin district,
and removed thithcr with his family from
Marshall's district in 1900 BY energy and
frugalty, 800 acres adjoining have been added
to the original tract. The four brothers now
occupy adjoining farms on Broad Creek
Neither ofihem have ever had law suit until
now, the younger brother being engaged in n
legal controversy arising out Of the removal
of II refractory negro from one of his tenant
houses.
Their father, Archibald Heaps, was sol.
dicr in the Revolutionary war, and three OF
his sons shouldcred their muskcts in defence
Of Free Trade and Sailors Rights" in 1912.
The four brothers are now, and have always
been Jacksonian Democrats--a fact that at
tests the soundness Of their judgment, rs
their record as soldiers proves their patriot
ism.
We question ifany other county in the
State presents the record of So numerous u
family living To such good old age, aud en-
joying SO universally the respect and esteem
Of their ncighbors. Their family record is
one of which their descendants may Justly
feel proud.

ASSEMBLING OF CoNGREss.-T first sCs-
sion Of the Forty-third Congress commenced
at Washington, on Monday. Very few of
the members were absent at tho call of the
roll. The Republicans have a larger MAORI

in numbers. Among the new Senators is
General Gordon of Georgia. Il wellknown
Confederate soldier. Alexander H. Stephens,
vice president of the late Southern Confedera-
cy, is "A member of the House. and was pres.
ent on Monday. One improvement there
will doubtless he over the last scssion--the
absence of colored members. Pnchbecls

to Mr. James Wick, the celebrated scotsman,
OF Rochester, N. Y, for copy of his Floral

finest tinted paper, and is handsomely illus

upon the subject OF floral decorations, that
will possess cspccia, interest at Christmas
time. We can vouch for the reliability of his
seeds, and for his fair and generous dealing
with customers. Tile Guhe is published

THE MONUMENTAL CITY, ITS PAST HIS
TORY AND PRESENT RESOURCES" We are
indebted to the author, Mr.. George w. How.
ard, for a copy of the above interesting and
valuable work. 1t is, as the title implies,
sketch of the history of Baltimore city,
from the time that David Jones, in 1850,
made the first settlement upon the east side of
the Falls that bear his name, until the present
time. The work embraces 200 pages and is
handsomely illustrated with engravngs of
the public buildings and other objects of
interest in the city 1t contains also sketches
of picturesque scenes in Druid Hill Park and
at other points attractive to strangers.
The principal value of the work, however
is in the full and complete manner in which
it sets forth the commercial and manufacture
ing advantages Of the metropolis of Mary
land. The growth of Baltimore city has
been so steady and with conspicuous
absence, on the part of her merchants and
others, ofboasting, that TO many Maryland
crs even, her present advanced position rs n
commercial centre is matter of no little sur
prise, and of great pleasure as well for we
Of the counties take pride and delight in the
growth and prosperityof our commercial me-
tropolis and feel that her interests and our
own are indissolubly connected. This work
by Mr.. Howard should be widely circulated
in all parts of the South and West, and
throughout the counties of Maryland 1t
can not fail to he of direct advantage in pro-
noting those commercial and manufacturing
enterprises ofthc city that have obtained a
permanent foothold, and in fostering those
that are of more recent origin.
