Work will be resumed on the new depot
next week, and the necessary grading will be
completed by the time the building is ready
for occupation. Work on the new avenue
will not be commenced until April. This
avenue will com mence in the rear of Mr.. +.
NJ. Mellor's stor e, and circle around the hill
on which the new hotel is proposed to be
erected, and will intersect the public road
near Springfield Church. The road will be
first-class in every particular, and will be de-
lightful for summer travel.
Sykesville will shortly be q great summer
resort. There are more applications for
places than can be supplied. Churchmen and
politicians want to come among us, but we
think we are pretty well supplied in that line,
and in some Of our citizens we have both of
the elements happily blended.
Mr.. VIM. Benefits new building will be
completed in few days. Before stocking it
Mr.. b. purposes dedicating it with a grand
dance.
A new building association has been Or
gained, with Mr.. S. r. Duvall as president.
Building associations are very popular here,
and have been beneficial in their results.
Farm work will be very backward, owing
to the protracted winter weather; yet we think
change is near at hand, for it is sure sign
of spring when Sykesville man goes to Bal
timore to have his hair cut.
We have received numerous letters the past
week congratulating US on the stand taken for
longer school terms. We would rather our
friends had sent their communications to the
ADVOCATE, as many of them were worth pub
fishing. We hope to have some figures next
week which will show the Importance OF this
movement to the people. We find that nearly
every one endorses the views of the ADVOCATE
in reference to the number of studies. We
have been informed that some of our public
schools are teaching Greek. This language
would be of little use in Sykesville, unless 1t
were for the hard swearers. Their compound
oaths in the dead language of Greece would
doubtless have musical sound.

We are glad to know that Westminster has
prospect of better paved streets. That the
streets need paving no one can deny-in many
places the mud makes it almost impossible for
a lady to cross from one side to the other.
With mud and water so plentiful, we often
wondered why the money making men of
Westminster had not utilized it. Poultry
raising is said to be profitable; ducks would
certainly flourish in Westminster, for they
could find friendly pond in front of almost
every door. The children could be amused
for hours watching them dive for worms If
