The fourth of July was celebrated here in
the usual way. The morning was very quiet
with here and there fire cracker), many
leaving for baltimore and various points on
the railroad where picnics We're in progress.
III the AFTERNOON 1t was not SO quiet. Young
men, and old ones, too, came into the village
and then 1T was ice cream, politics and beer.
At night there were fireworks and more beer.
The most noticeable event was the little social
gathering at 'sKalorama,' on the HILL There
Mr.. Edward Hewes, the generous host, and
Mrs. Hewes, assisted by Mr.. j. M. thinner.
man, entertained their friends. The first part
OF the programme was fireworks, which for
one continuous hour lighted the heavens.
The display was very fine. There was also a
display in the village at the same time, which
added greatly to the effect. In the country
beyond old women put their heads out of
their windows and wondered 1t was the
finest display ever seen in Sykesvile Messrs.
Zimmerman, Hewes and James +. Moulton
directed the display. After the fireworks was
dancing Two parlors were given to the
dancers. In the grove in front of the house
were hung hundreds of Chinese lanterns,
which had a delightful effect. The moon,
nevertheless, shone in all its splendor. Prof.
Ennis, formerly of the Marble Hearts" fur
nished the music, and the merry dance was
kept up until u o'clock. An elegant supper
was served, when the many present departed,
carrying with them a remembrance of at least
one happy fourth. Ss1ti7-Ft ~.
The threshing season has now commenced
in earnest A steady stream Of the golden
grain is now pouring into Sykesville. Mr..
Frank Brown was, as usual, the first to ship.
He is now running two steam threshers on his
farm. The wheat is in elegant condition, and
yielding between 80 and 40 bushels per acre.
Some yields have been reported in this dis.
trict as high as so bushels per acre. On the
Howard county side the wheat is equally as
good, heavy yields being reported all around.
Even after giving due allowance for the
shrinkage in the ground from seeding to har-
vest, the yield is little remarkable.
This has really been a remarkable year in
every way, and we expect that November,
1884, will mark new epoch in the history of
our country. AS [.lfl 3
Politics are very lively. Little else is dis
cussed now. The Democrats anxiously await
the news from Chicago, and stand ready to
support the nominee.
