As spring advances upon us our people are
beginning 20 look round about them, m order
to make those arrangements or changes, which
are. to a greater or less extent, necessary in
almost every community, in carrying oet the

+. Iauver has already removed TO our town,
having Telinquished the mercantile business,
and sold his stock Of goods at Eden 10 Messrs.
Jno J. Abbott 4 Co.

has been SO very prevalent among us during
the winter has given way 10 better state Of

The Wild geese have begun their north
westward journeyings again. which, according

cry.
Mr.. Jabez A. Bush has sold a small farm Of

properties in the vicinity Of Patapsco for sale.
At Patapsco. on last Sunday evening, Rev.
w. II. Wheeler. of Baltimore. preached q
very comprehensive and interesting sermon 10
quite large congregation. His remarks we're
founded upon the 3sth and 39ih verses ct the
eighth chapter Of Luke.
The signs Of the times indicate that with
the opening Of the spring cur little town and
vicinity win shake off the leshargy which has
held il for so long, and enter into busy,
hustling career. as many Improvements nre
contemplated and much new enterprise eN-
pected. ss that no man need say that he seek
eth employment and sindeth none.
The grain crop in this ne'ghborheod is

History Of the Methodist Protestant
Church.

We are indebted to Rev. j. +. Murray, ID.
D.. pastor ofthe Methodist Protestant Church,
this city, for a copy Of History OF the Mary
land Annual Conference Of the Methodist
Protestant Church. BY J. T. Murray and 7.
H. Lewis. Ii is n neatly printed and bound
little volume Of one hundred and twenty -four
pages. The principal matter of the book was
written by Dr. Murray for publication in a
periodical, and at the solicitation Of Rev. NJ.
Lewis, who assisted in the work, additions and
e-arransements we're made and put in the
more enduring form Of book. 1t opens with
Methodism in Maryland, and follows with the
division that occurred from 1924 to 1923,
which resulted in the organization Of the
Methodist Protestant Church. The history Of
the Church is briefly sketched, including the
only serious difference in the body since its
organization, the Missionary Controversy.
The work of the Church is next reviewed, a
sketch of number of ministers Is given. also
a compend Of the minutes Of the several con-
fesenees, and other matters in connection with
the work and growth Of the Church. 1t is an
interesting work, and should be in the hands
Of every Methodist Protestant and all others
who desire TO know the history Of this now
important branch Of the Christian Church.

The author of the bill for the apportionment
of the State of Virginia into ten congressional
districts seems to have been governed by a de-
sign to secure as many read adjaster-republiean
congressional districts as possible without
reference to either population or contiguity of
territory. For instance, the first, fourth and
seventh districts, all of which are arranged to
give readjuster- republican majorities viii have
populations of l3l 500, 800 and 1913, 600,
respectively, whilst the only two democratic
districts, the sixth and eighth, will have pop
ulations-of lS5 and I60, 1000, respectively. In
other words, three readiuster-republican dis
tricts have a fraction over 400, 900 population,
whilst two democratic districts viii have a
population Of nearly $4,000. The want of
eontiguity in the districts is quite as striking
as the difference in their populations.
