The migratory birds are. leaving for the
South, where they will spend the winter. The
martins, some of which had habitation in Tow

-Tramps are getting to be very numerous
in some sections of the country and are becom-

any disposition to work and appear to be bent on

thing of any of the loafers with which the people
are afflicted.

upon them as those of larger growth who are at
times similarly favored.
Persons who desire to secure places under
the new county administration if it be Demo

Waterman of the Jail, tried to get the prisoners in

One week from next Tuesday the county
fair commences. Every citizen of the county
should so arrange his business affairs that he may
visit the fair at least one day. Aside from the
pleasure he will thereby experience he SHOULD
feel it duty to give at least one day to so laud

| successful every one must take an interest, i
only so much as by adding the price of one ad
mission to the society's treasury.

"A young member of the Towson Guards
went out cunning with friend the other da
and after two unsuccessful attempts to fire hi
gun, he set about investigation. His frien
asked him if he had loaded the gun properly an
| ha ha had md Unn m lain hat
had been told to put the shot in first and notwith
standing the fact that he followed directions, th
darned old thing would not 60 off. The youn
soldier gets little red in the face now when an
one asks him if he is fond of cunning.
