at once. This would be doing it just about as
efectually.
The Democratic club in this place is, in
some respects, n very lively organization. Its
meetings are few and far between and when they
do have one it proves regular circus. The
"boys" don't seem to enthuse worth a cont during
the present campaign.
Mr.. John c. Baker, wellknown Hartford
county Gamer, lately lost several horses very
mysteriously. 1t was thought they were poisoned,
but whether from drinking the alkaline water
from the canning factory or from other cause,
has not been developed.
Mrs. VIM. George Read and daughter, of

tors of the Maryland Central road, it was shown
that the affairs of the Company are in satisfac-
tory condition. It was stated that the road re-
quires a considerable share of the revenues to be
expended for betterments, and tho strictest econ
omy is to be observed.
The York road railway appears now to be
doing very heavy business but the cars they run,
particularly the through cars,are disgrace to the
company. They are old, dingy, rough and gen.
orally uncomfortable. The company should do
better by its patrons who deserving of superior
accommodations to those now extended to them.
"A few weeks ago horse belonging to a
gentleman at Churchvile, Hartford county, was
sold in Baltimore. Several days afterwards the
horse disappeared from his city home, and on
search being made for him, he was found in his
stable at Churchville, having travelled nearly 80
miles to seek the companoDship of his old friends.
The Board of Directors of the Maryland
Central road held a meeting on Friday of last
week, but very little business was transacted
We learn that the receipts for September were very
less the increased rates OF fare and the present
passenger schedule had much to do with this
condition of affairs.
The business of the York road railway, be-
tween this place and the city, has largely incrcas
ed. 1t is now not an unusual thing to see from
ten to fifteen through passengers from Towson.
town to Baltimore, and the number who patronize
the horse cars appear to be steadily increasing.
The announcement schedule on the Maryland Gen.

AFR. Frank Brown, Of Sykesvile, Carroll

The shares of stock of the Cecil county
Agricultural Society are SIC each, and the holder

county Society are S. each and holder of two
shares is entitled to a ticket admitting himself,
wife Tor LADY, and two children to all exhibitions.
We approve of the Cecil county plan and would
something like it to our home Society.
One trouble with the Baltimore county fair
10 that the stockholders arc given too many priv
ileges. A man who holds two shares of stock,
which cost $40, gets a ticket each year which ad-
mits himself, wife and two children. Many per-
sors took two shares simply for this reason. 1t
would pay the Society far better to pay good
dividend on their stock to these people and com.
pei them to plank down the cash for admission
to the grounds.

When polishing your stoves for the winte-,
that if little vinegar or some cider is
mixed with the stove polish. it will not take much
rubbing to make the stove bright and the black

you are very anxious to make it brighter and
more cheerful looking than ever before, add few
drops of coal oil. large stove in THE UNION
Office has been treated in the manner described
and now it is the handsomest one in the village.

the people to aid the cause by sending to them
such seed as they have or may procure. The

The Belair Times says: "In consequence
of disagreements with the B. 4 o. authorities, the
Hopes Company, which had been engaged in
the piers, abutments, etc., for the B.
4 o. bridges over the Little and Big Falls, has
finally suspended operations. The works at
Little Falls was completed ten days ago, and the
company was about to go ahead at the Big Falls,

On the Cecil county fair grounds they have
q beautiful main exhibition hall that cost up
wards.of five thousand dollars. 1t is over 200
feet long, 40 feet wide and handsomely painted
inside and out. The interior is beautiful and
has not post or other obstruction to mar the
view. One public-spirited citizen advanced the
money to build this hall and he is willing to wait
until the Society is ready to repay him. We
don't appear to have many men of this stamp in
Baltimore county.
The amount of building going on in the
Belt, just north of Baltimore, is something won
derful. New houses are springing up on every
hand as if by magic and they are hardly
until they occupied. They are
generally q very nice class of houses and it will
not be long before the most attractive portion of
Baltimore city will be in Baltimore county. Our
,ounty's taxable basis. in consequence of this, is
rapidly increasing. 1t would be good thing if
our people could feel this in the way of reduced
AK bills.
