Street Railway for Reisterstown.-T

Voice says there is nothing that could be done
that would be of so great benefit to Glyndon
and Reisterstown as the erection of the proposed
street railway between the two places-especially
to Reisterstown. We would suggest that meet
ing of the citizens of the two places be held at
an early date and committee appointed to So
licit subscriptions to the road and to report at
future meeting. We have heard of two gentle
men at the southern terminus, who would sub
scribe $500 each, and several others in the same
neighborhood who would gladly invest from $50
to 500 in such an enterprise and we have no
doubt but that there are others who would sub
scribe if solicited. Let the enterprise be pushed
noe, so as to have street railway connecting
Glyndon and Reisterstown by the next heated
term, and while our community is filled with sum
mer boarders, the road will start with q good
send-off.

From Philopolis, 8th,District.- Senior
Gunpowder Agricultural Club met on Saturday
last, at the farm of Col. Walter S. Franklin, near
Cockeysville. This was formerly the property of
ex-Sherif Samuel W. Worthington, and is one of
the finest farms in the county. The land having
had especial attention paid to it, the crops the past
year were very large necessitating the erection of
additional buildings for storage room. The many
improvements made by Col. Franklin since he has
had possession of the farm attracted the attention
of the club members. The fattening cattle mum
Der 33, and are in splendid condition, being nicely
groomed; the other stock on the farm is also in
fine condition. About 500 barrels of corn is still
in the cribs notwithstanding the fact that winter
is so far advanced. After some further inspection
of the premises the Club repaired to the residence
of the Col. at Ashland, where the host and hostess
entertained the members in a sumptuous manner.
The principal subject for discussion was the APP
plication of lime, and while some deemed it best
to apply on sod ground, yet there seemed to be
preference with the majority for applying it on
plowed- ground.
The selling of grain direct to millers was con-
sidered an advantage to the farmers.
Mr.. Nelson r. Miles was foreman of the meet
ing. Among those present not members of the
Club were VIM. B. Sands, Henry II. Carroll, T. c.

Death of Rev. Mr.. McCormick.-Re
Thomns Mccormick, the oldest member of the
Conference of the Methodist Protestant Church in
the State of Maryland, died Tuesday morning last,
at the residence of his son, Luther Mccormick,
in Baltimore, in the 92d year of his age He was
born in Loudon county, Va, in the year 1892, his
ancestors being of old Quaker stock. Shortly after
his birth his mother died. and the father, giving
up housekeeping, entrusted his to the care OF
an uncle, Mr.. Thomas Moore, who resided near
Sandy Spring, Montgomery county, Md. There
young Mccormick remained until he was fourteen
years old, when he was bound apprentice to
Thomas Kenny, carpenter, who ran extensive
shop in Baltimore city. In October, 1911, he join
ed the M. Z. Church, then under the pastoral con-
troll OF Kew. John Pitts. Four years later he mar
ried Miss Maria Stewart, and removed with his
wife to Union Factory, Baltimore county, near
Ellicott's Mills, where he followed his trade, an
was appointed class leader by Rev. S. G. Rozel.
After a short stay at Union Factory the young
classleaderreturned to Baltimore and was licensed
to exhort the 4th of February, 1916, by Rev.
Henry Smith, of the Baltimore Conference. The
same year he was chosen one of the pall-bearers
to Bishop Asbury, whose remains were borne to
Baltimore, for burial. In 1917 Mr.. Mccormick
was licensed to preach as local preacher by the
Quarterly Conference of Baltimore city. He was
ordained deacon in 1922 by Bishop VIM. McKen-
dree and on the 9Th of April, 1929, appointed by
late Rev. Nicholas Snethen elder in the Methodist
Associated church, now known as the Methodist
Protestant church.
Though beyond mans allotted age, the death of
Mr.. Mccormick was rather unexpected. Only last
Monday week he attended the regular weekly meet
ing of the preachers, and was assigned to take
part in q discussion on "The Sabbath" He died
quietly while reclining on lounge. He had been
married twice his secoud wife being descendant
of the famous lawyer Luther Martin. Though
unable to undertake any active labor for the past
twenty years, Mr. Mccormick always took live
ly interest in the church of which he was so
bright an ornament.
According to his own request he was buried in
plain coffin, without Grape other insignia of
mourning, the simple Quaker habits of his ances-
tors seeming to impress him to the last.
Mr.. Mccormick, when an apprentice to the
carpentering trade, worked the old gate-house
building in this town, that stood on the spot where
the Lee building now stands.

New ucies I'm Gems.

The fancy for Oriental and India st, les has
reached to jewelry. The newest gold made
into jewelry is now finished in the rough, as
if at had been taken from the melting pot,
and the diamonds, emeralds and rubies sunk
in the metal in any careless fashion. The
most exquisite skill and careful study of de-
tail are necessary to properly flush this ap-
-parently unfinished jew,lry. Eastern designs
and tropical flowers half an inch in size are
chosen for patterns to some new orna-
ments. The pomegranate flower with
dark enamt led leaves and a magnificent vel
low diamond in the centre, is one pattern for
a handsome pin. Ladies' pins continue to be
chosen in long, slender lace pin style. A
long Pompeian vase, in unfinished gold, with
diamond and rubies sunk in it, is one pattern
When gold earrings are worn they are IN
small sized ball shape, fastened close to the
ear OF in large hoop style Bracelets are now
preferred in pliable linked style. Two brace
lets are generally chosen, in different size
and style. One bracelet may be in plain
linked squares of Etruscan gold, while the
other bracelet is composed of squares of vel
lowish gold, set with turquoise. All Jewels
are now sunk in the gold in gypsy style.

Maine stat. Agricultural society.

The president and trustees of the Maine
State Agricultural Society continued their ses-
sion, Friday forenoon. The president and
two trustees were present. The work of the
present meeting is that of the revision of the
premium list and routine business of the So
ciety. A number of the premiums on stock
were enlarged in the view of always drawing
out better exhibition of the stock interests
of the State. The board have not yet settled
upon the novel features of the exhibition.
Some addition land has been purchased, and
various repairs on the grand stand and grounds
will be made during the summer. At
Friday mornings meeting Mr.. Pierce was
appointed a committee of one 10 procure plans
and estimate the cost of building an agricul-
tural building for the use of the society for
agricultural implements and at the grounds.
The big show looms up prospectlvely IN big
ger proportions every year. The building
talked of is a move in good direction. The
trustees have in mind at present, building
with two floors surely, and very likely three
