poisoned by poison ivy, sumac or any of the
dangerous woods which infest almost every Sec
ton of the country, lose no time in binding over
the injured parts with green plantain leaves,

dwelling. This remedy is found to be the best Of
many tried, and seems to act like charm.

Farmers throughout the country are all
busiIy engaged blowing and getting ready for the
fall seeding. Many of them having heard of the
enormous yields raised in other sections of the
State will endeavor to eclipse them next year, if
it is possible to do it, by giving greater attention
! to the preparation of the land to be seeded and
in the selection of fertilizers to be used. The
| yield of wheat per acre in Baltimore county
should be as large as in any other county in
| Maryland. We have good corn and grass lands,
and why not so good for wheat?
The editor of the Hampstead Enterprise
lately took ashort drive through the northwestern
section of Baltimore county and expresses himself
as being greatly pleased with what he saw. He
glanced at the village of Trenton, 9Th district,
and speaks Unpleasant calls at the farms of Messrs.
| HrInacost and others, all of whom he commends
for their excellent farming and wide-awake bust
ness ideas. Our brother should come further
down next time and get into the "true nwardness"
of our county, SO to speak, and he would be so de-
lighted that he wouldn't want to go home. Come
down and we'll make it pleasant for you.
The telegraph Office having been removed
from the Smedley House to the railroad office in
this place, it is proposed that the LIST of Sep
TENDER Mr.. Florentz Sommers, the operator, will
also become the ticket agent of the company here
displacing Mr.. j. Park Wiley. The change will
be made with a view to economy, thus dispensing
with the services of one employee. Mr. Wiley
has filed his present position since the road was
first opened to Towsontown, and by his close at
tention to his duties and his willingness at any
and all times to oblige the patrons of the road,
has made himself very popular with the travelling
public, who will part with him with many regrets.
"A prominent county official took his family
out to drive Saturday afternoon, and when about
two miles from home one of the wheels of his car
riage locked for want of grease He went to the
house of colored family near by, got some lard
took off the wheel, and, as he thought, "greased
up, but still it refused to turn and he was think
ing about having his family walk home Just
then two young men came along in buggy and
taking in the situation, stopped to render what
assistance they could. They took the wheel off
and found that the box was fast to the spindle,
the outside of the box being literally smeared
with lard. The county official thought the box
was the spindle and when he discovered his mis-
take he smole very broad smile. He knows
more about law than he does about spindles, but
he proposes to read up some on the latter.
