Celebrating Their Sixtieth Wedding An
niverSary.-Rev Joseph Mettam and wife eel
ebrated the sixteth anniversary of their wedding,
on Friday 9th instant, at their residence, Pixies
Vile, this county, where they have resided for ff
ty years. The Sun says: "The venerable couple
were married in the Episcopal Church, Chester
field, England, Nov. 6, 1925, it being the Estab-
lished Church, and marriage was not considered
legal unless performed in that church. Mr.. Mettam
was baptized in England by the Rev. David
Jones, in the Chesterfield Baptist Church. He
was called to the ministry before he reached his
majority, and preached two years in the Metho-
dist Church. He was about 81 years of age when
he Joined the Baptist Church. He preached in
several villages of England, frequently walking
eight or ten miles Sunday morning, and again as
many more miles to preach in the evening. He
finally concluded to come to America, though at
one time he was on the eve of going as a mission
airy to China. He arrived in this country in
August, 1882, landing in Norfork, Virginia, leav-
ing his wife and two children to follow him, pro-
vided he would think it advisable. After short
stay in Norfolk, not being able to get suitable
employment, he came to Baltimore, where he met
with warm Christian friends and soon obtained
employment at his trade, that of gunsmith and
locksmith, and preaching on Sundays and week
nights to the few Baptists then in Baltimore.
The following year his wife and two boys and
some friends landed in Baltimore. The oldest

After remaining in Baltimore a couple of years
the Rev. Mr.. Mettam and wife paid visit to
Pikesvie and made the acquaintance of some Of
the residents, who induced them to mako it their
home, and in very short time they were located.
After preaching in private houses and the village
day school Mr.. Mettam thought there was field
open for a Baptist church, and it was not long
before one was started. DR.. James Smith con-
tributed the ground and Mrs. Carroll the stone
from her quarries, and Major Wise the timber
from his woods and other contributions of money
and labor, so that in February, 1885, the Pixies
vile Baptist Church was finished and opened for
public worship, and up to the last year or two the
Rev. Mr.. Mettam has been its active pastor.
Tha venerable couple have reached the advanced
age of 80 and 81, respectively. They have five
children, all married, and some twenty five grand
children, all living within eight miles of the old
homestead.N

Recent Property Sales.-The Gainesville
Argus reports the following sales of property in
that section of the county:
Inc Hause property, containing 81 acres, situa-
TED near Catonsville, was sold recently by Messrs.
Machen and Larned, trustees, for about $4,000.
In view OF the dlapidated condition of the fences
and improvements and neglect of the land, it was
considered very fair price.
Mr.. Il. Livezey, our resident real estate agent
and broker, recently sold 81 acres on the pike,
one-fourth of a mile from the village, belonging
TO Mr.. Jervis Spencer, to Mr.. VIM. B. Wilson
for the sum of 81, 900.
Also acres on the Old Road, formerly Mr..
hobinson's, and adjoining "Harlem LODGE" with
beautiful dwelling, and grounds tastefully laid
out and improved with variety of ornamental
trees and shrubbery, for the of S. 900, to Mr..
Alexander, of Washington.
Mr.. Liyezey sold about four months ago, some
20 acres of land for Gen. John Gill, to Mr.. D. G.
Howell price $500 per acre.
Mr.. Livezey states there is good deal of try
ing for country-seats and property on the line Of
our Gainesville Short Line, he having several
parties now negotiating for property, and if the
road is managed to meet the views of purchasers,
flares moderate and frequent trains), there will
be very large addition to our population in the
coming spring.
Mr.. Livezey has also succeeded in leasing
"Harlem Lodge" to Mr.. and Mrs. Parkhurst for
three years.
The outlook is very fattering for an active real
estate movement for Catonsville, and very much
depends on the policy to be adopted by our steam
road, in regard to having trains frequent and
moderate rates of fare to residents and everyday
travel over the road

The Reason Why.

In explanation Of the wonder to east
ern people how stock can winter in the
cold climate of the northwest, with the
ground covered with snow and natural
streams closed with ice, Hon Granville
Stuart. one OF the oldest and most ex.
perienced stockmen in the country,
rays that open water during the extreme
cold season is Il positive injury to cattle
He explains that if during the severe
weather the ground is covered witt,
snow, the cattle in feeding will secure
sufficient moisture to alley thirst with
out unusually chilling them, and will,
consequently, remain in the hills and
sheltered places, thus securing the best
feed with the least exposure, whereas if
the ground and small pools are frozen
up, and only large bodies of water are
open, without snow, stock is compelled
to travel long distances to seek relief
from their increasing thirst, and if sue
cessful in reaching water will so gorge
themselves with it that they become
thoroughly chilled and stand by the
coveted liquid until, as Il cowboy ex-
pressed it, their sides are frozen togeth-
cr.-[ Ex.

Sell As They Rlpen.

A mistaken notion prevails among
feeders of beef cattle in the matter OF
selling The experience OF all butchers
and buyers for butchers, is that the
feeder of Il bunch of cattle insists upon
having the whole bunch taken, whether
ready for market or not. To illustrate !:
a man has ten head Of steers in the
stable or lot, feeding for the local market,
seven Of them have taken kindly to
the TODD and are ripe for slaughter. The
other three are not ready. but the feed
er refuses to sell any without the whole
are taken. The idea prevails that the
good ones must be made to sell the thin
ones. Just the revere is the case The
poor ones make the price of the good
ones. The butcher wants ripe cattle and
is willing to pay a fair price for them.
But il he has to buy lot of unripe cat
tie he makes the price on the lot low
enough to cover the loss on those he
does not want. The cut on the good
ones is usually very material. The true
plan is to sell the best and get the best
price, reserving the balance to be
brought up to a proper standard by
longer and more generous feeding.
They VIII make YOU more money stand
ing to good feed than to 60 in with the
ripe ones. There is never Il loss by
feeding until the animal is fully ripe
