Trustees Of the Poor. Til

Trustees OF the POOr.-The above board
met at the Poor House Monday for the pur-
pose of passing accounts against that insttu-
ton, and making the award of pensions to
out-pensioners in the county. The cleanli-
ness and neat appearance of the place, both in
and out Of doors, and the economical manner
in which it is conducted under the manage
msut Of Mr. Thomas ~ WEIGH, who has had
it in charge as overseer, for number Of
years, does credit to him, and is an honor to
the county We have been unable at this
writing to obtain any accurate estimate Of the
amount allowed out-pensioners, or what has
been the cost TO run the Poor House for the
past fiscal year, but we promise in the near
future to obtain the necessary information
and submit it to our readers for their criti-
ci,m, disapproval, or appreciation.

Halliday Advertising.

Holiday Advertising. Signs of the APP
preaching holidays are multiplying daily aad
the belietis general that this. years Christ
mas will be al exceptionally merry and live
ly one. But while placing their stock and
arranging for the holiday season our trades
men should remember the Importance Of avail
ing themselves of the surest and best methods
to secure custom. Publicity through the
press il universally recognized AS the most
effective and intelligent means of reaching the
judgment and purses o. the community, and
no tradesman can hope to realize his expecta-
tons unless he ellis the public in type what
he has to sell and the inducements he can
present to win patronage. As to the superb
ority of the MARYLAND INDEPENDENT for this
purpose there can be no question. 1t has an
extensive circulation throughout the entire
county. For the coming holidays we will
suppl, advertising space on the most reasona-
Die terms, and invite dealers in all classes of
holiday goods to at once communicate with
US.
