CITY vs.. LOCAL PAPERs.-Do the city
papers say anything in regard to your own
county? Nothing. Do they contain no.
tees of your schools, meetings, churches,
improvements and hundreds of other local
matters of interest which your home paper
publishes without pay? Not an item. Do
they ever say word calculated to draw
attention to your county and aid in its pro-
gress and enterprise? Not line. And
yet there are men who take such contracted
views of this matter that unless they are
getting as many square inches of reading
matter in their own paper as they do in a
city paper they think they are not getting
the worth Of their money. 1t reminds us
of man who took the largest pair of boots
in the box because the price was the same
as the pair, much smaller, that fitted him.

From the London Daily News.
"Joe," the chimpanzee, which for three
years has had the honor of separate
apartment in the Monkey house at the
Geological Gardens, recently died after
about two months illness. OF all the
members of the ape tribe the chimpanzee is
probably the most tractable, and of all
champanzees Joe was perhaps the best
tempered fellow that ever existed. Ife
readiness he always exhibited to learn any
new trick the ingenuity of his keeper could
devise was remarkable; and the good tenn
per he always displayed when asked to per-
form them for the benefit Of visitors was
not less surprising. He emulated the
achievements of Blondin and Leotard with
equal success, and seemed especially proud
of himself when he was ordered to go
through the series of gymnastic exercises
which embraced the feats that have made
the names of those men known all over the
world
If a nut were presented to him he would
not crack it in the usual way, but would
place it under the donors foot, and assist
the process by administering sharp blow
with his fist on the toes of his unsuspecting
visitor. He always seemed devotedly at
tached to his keeper, and when shut up
close in his room would summon him by
repeated knocks at the door. In the even
ing, when the time for bidding him good
night - approached, he used frequently to
go into a frenzy of grief, tearing his hair,
rolling on the floor, and screaming out like
bad-tempered, spoiled baby with extra
strong lungs.
Nevertheless, he was really good-temper-
ed, and was never known to malicously
attempt to hurt any one. He would show
his visitors to the door with the utmost
politeness, turning the handle and opening
the door without assistance, and shaking
hands with his departing guests. Joe had
one fault. He might have taught pick.
pockets lesson in the offering line OF
business, which would have borne danger
ous fruit in London crowd.

SPRING.

Welcome, Sweet Spring, with all thy varied
charms,
With all thy freshness and thy myriad
flowers:
Winter relenting, opens wide its arms,
And Spring comes bounding from its
sunny Bowers;
The earth is robed in clothing fresh and
bright
Kind Nature spreads her mantle over all;
But man, 10 dress himself up spruce and
right,
Should get his Clothes at BENNETT s

THE ROADS IN FULTON TOWNSHIP
The supervisors of Fulton township, Lam
caster county, held their triennial sale of
roads at Wakefield on the Goth inst. This
system of selling the public roads for
repairs works admirably in Fulton, and
will elsewhere, when managed by capable
supervisors. After six years trial the
supervisors of the above township make
the following statement in their handful
announcing the sale: after six years
experience, with greatly improved roads,
we have been able to reduce the tax one
Thousand dollars per annum, thus clearly
demonstrating that our system of mending
roads, when impartially carried out, is far
preferable to the old one.'' The present
board of supervisors of Fulton is composed
of the following gentlemen: Timothy
Haines, Joseph jenkins, Levi X. Brown.

Too LATE.-We have received a copy of
memorial to the Legislature of Maryland
by the Temperance Alliance, with request
to publish, but it is rather late as that body
has gone where the woodbine twineth.
The memorial contains much interesting
information collated from differerent
ton would emphasize more strongly The
shameful conduct of the Maryland Legisla-
ture in their course on the temperance
question. The reason may be found in the
fact that the whisky party goes single for
its interest, while the supporters Of tenn
perance are too slavish in their party fealty
to act with the same independence as their
opponents.

Death Of q Well.Kn0wn Citizen.-IHe
Baltimore Sun says: Mr.. Hugh Bolton,
well-known and much esteemed citizen of
Baltimore, died at his residence, No. 15l
Dolphin street, about half past ten o'clock
Thursday morning, of an affection of the
heart, disease of which he had long been
a sufferer. Mr.. Bolton had attained the
seventy-ffth year of his age, having been
born in Cecil county, Maryland, on the I'd
of November, 1900. On attaining his
majority he came to Baltimore and entered
into the paint and naval store business at
No. 81 McElderry's wharf, where he con-
tinued for some years past in connection
with his sons) up to the time of his death,
a period of over fifty eight years. He was
a man of the most irreproachable character;
as merchant and business man none stood
higher. Through the last half century he
fully identified himself with the interests
of the city. Moro than fifty years ago he
became a member of the old Independent
Fire Company, and until the volunteer
department was superseded by the paid
department, in 1859, was considered one of
the most active firemen of Baltimore. For
more than thirty six years he acted as
rrsssurer of the Independent, and for al
most that length of time represented the
company in the directory of the Firemens
Insurance Company. the latter position
being retained by him up to the time of
his death, he having been annually elected
by the stockholders. The deceased has
several relatives residing in Elkton and
vicinity.
