As the holidays approach business begins
to liven up. The stores are filled with Christ
mas goods, and every want can be supplied,
for its n well known fact that nowhere in the
world can better country stores be found than
in Sykesville. The harness trade is branch

Mr. Clarence Il. Brown has started in the
business and opened new harness establish
ment in the warehouse of Mcdonald Bros.
Mr.. Samuel II. Duvall, with his usual enter
prise, has occupied the large factory building
of Zimmerman & Schultz, where he displays
his wagonware.
Frank Brown will build twelve cottages on
one of the new avenues. Work will COM
menced on them this winter. He is now linn
ing his meadows heavily, and will put on
10000 bushels. He has three teams con-
stantly hauling lime and lumber. The new
avenue, to be known as ''Springiield Hotel
avenue will be opened next month. This
will make one of the finest driving roads IN
the county Most of these new avenues,
which have so much added to the value OF
property in this section, have been purchased
by Mr. Brown, and the roads made at his own
expense and given to the public. Why can't
the county give us some first class roads-say
one or two in each district-at the expense of
the whole people? There is road in this
district known as the Marriottsville road, and
we are credibly informed that no one who
lives near that road can get insured in any OF
the mutual insurance companies which insure
against accidents. The agents say the risk to
life is too great where they have to travel
over that road.
Carroll county will have some exhibits at
the New Orleans Exposition. We have for
warded fine specimens of mica from the farm
of Mr.. George Burnam, near Henryton; also,
fine specimens of soapstone from the lands of
Edwin NJ. Shipley. Mr.. Shipley has two
quarries on his farm of very fine quality. A
Vermont company are now negotiating for
the lease of one of them.

MEssRs. EDITORS Your interesting and
valuable journal comes promptly and regu-
larly to hand. and, Carroll being our native
home, we peruse the contents voraciously.
We are sad we did not have the opportunity
to remit you a turkey for Thanksgiving, but
sincerely trust our old friends and relatives
did not forget you. You stimulated the good
old Democrats of Carroll, and they responded
nobly. Your rooster was of mammoth di-
mensions-let him crow and proclaim the
glad tidings to every land and cline. 1t is
high time there be radical change.
The Elkridge Fox Hunting Club had de-
lectable chase on Thanksgiving in Back River
Neck, starting from Gen. Geo. S. Browns
ducking shore.
Messrs. George and John Shafer, of Gran
berry Valley, paid us short visit. Although
they were very much smitten with our fair
damsels, yet they fastened home.
We are ashamed to inform you of the
weight of our pigs, yet the writer's father
raised the largest hog ever grown in Carroll,
to lay all jokes aside. DR.. W. H. Mace, our
most efficient physician, had hog killed
which weighed over 400 pounds. Mr.. Wilson
Shaffer killed five pigs, averaging 21Opounds,
the largest weighing over 300 pounds. Mr..
Shatfer recently purchased Mr.. JAS. button
farm of 1872 acres, in Back River Neck. The
farm has nearly mile of river shore, and is
considered the best place for wild geese in
the county.
Mr.. R. Vollmer has improved his fine farm
with large and handsome dwelling.
1t is now the heighth of duck shooting, al
though they are not so plentiful as in some
past seasons.
We desire to express our thanks to you for
printing our letter of some time ago, and
shall endeavor to appreciate your kindness if
you do likewise with this one. S. p.

Christmas this year falls on Thursday, we

words from old to modern English:
If Christmas day on Thursday be,
A windy winter shall ye,
Ofwinds and weathers all wicked,
And hard tempests strong and thick.
The summer shall be good and dry,
Corns and beasts shall multiply;
That year is good lands to till,
And kings and princes shall die By skill;
What child that day born be,
lie shall have happy right well to thee.
