Will Adopt Baltimore County's Plan
Hon. Michael Bannon, Treasurer of Anne Arun-
del county, came to Towsontown on Saturday last
for the purpose of acquainting himself with the
plan of collecting taxes in Baltimore county
After careful examination he expressed himself
much pleased with the system in vogue here and
will adopt it in Anne Arundel. In order to start
right he engaged Mr.. Chas. B. Rogers, chief clerk
for Treasurer Schone, to open the books that are
to be used in his Office There are four counties
in the State-Anne Arundel, Dorchester, Prince
Georges and Batimore-that have the volunteer
system of collecting taxes, and after visiting
the treasurers' offices of the three latter and in
specting their respective workings, he adopted
the Baltimore county plan as the simplest and
best.

Quite Pretty Picture.-A correspondent
arthur W. Nyce, Lake Roland, Md writing to
the Rural Record, published at Chattanooga,
Tenn, on the subject of "Maryland Farming"
draws this pretty picture of our own county 81
wish some of the Record readers could travel over
Baltimore county with me. To my mind it is
certainly one of the most beautiful spots l have
ever seen. The scenery ranges from the most
peaceful to the sublime. 1t is thickly settled,
and the farms so close together as to make one
feel that he is only riding through one large viii
lage. As rule the places are small, and as a
consequence the owner well to do. But again we
come across q place which reminds us of ante
bellum days, and we can in imagination see the
negro quarters, fairly alive with pickaninnies.-
Some of these old places still held in the orig
inal plantation tract of 1000 acres more by the
descendants. But it will not be many years be-
fore they are cut up into small farms. With
land from $50 to ST 900 an acre, it is not to be
supposed that these large places will be held for
long"

From Woodbury. young city may
soon be given the sobriquet of "the village of
churches" On last Sabbath we added another
to our list-now numbering eleven.
The Trinity Reformed Church dedicated
with appropriate services, at p. m. The pastor,
Rev. Mr.. Dietrich, assisted by others, led the SER
vice.. The sermon preached by DR.. Esch-
bach, of Frederick City. At night, DR.. Saylor
and the pastor conducted the service of confrma-
ton, and admitted seven members. The church
is small, but very pretty frame building, in a
central location, and cost $4,000, which, with the
lot, $4,000, are paid for. There remains but
small debt on the furniture.
Our people ought to be good In addition to
our churches, we have very active "Young Mems
Christian Association" mainly under the manage
ment of Mr.. A. E. Eichelberger, an old merchant
and Christian gentleman. Then too we are
temperate people. We are proud to let it be
known that we have long had local option in
cessful operation.
The large Meadow Mill, under the good man.
agement of Mr.. Alceas Hooper, has been closed
for some time. The Clipper Mill, under Mr.. Jas.
Hooper, Mr.. David Bell, superintendent, has been
partly closed but resumed on Monday. This is
serious drawback to our citizens, so many of whom
are dependent upon these mills for their support.
Some seriously believe that the hard times are at
tributable to the failure of the country to elect
Mr.. Blaine.
Mr. Cleveland has made no appointments here,
by turning the rascals out" We have none in
Office, but several who would like to be.
Our experiment of an electric motor, by which
to run the cars from Huntington avenue to Wood
berry, is success. The tests already made show
that the electricity edo move" the cars. The only
thing now remaining is to adjust minor points.

motor will do it at fourth that cost Mr.. Thos.
c. Robbins, the general manager of the railway
company, is giving it close and careful attention.
When he announces to hepublic that all is ready,
there will be no failure.
1t is wonderful invention. This has improve
ments above all others. OCCASIONAL.

The Hawkins Divorce Subtitle opinion
of the Baltimore county Circuit Court in the
divorce case of Amanda NJ. Hawkins VS.. DR.. John
W. Hawkins, filed in the Clerks Office We'd
nesday, and is as follows: "The bill of complaint
is this cause asks for the passage of decree
mensa ct horo. The plaintiff alleges ill-treatment
by the husband, and the answer denies the aver
ments of the bill and presents counter charges of
a similar character. The testimony is voluminous,
and discloses the existence of much domestic
infelicity. But the testimony adduced by the de-
PENDANT is certainly credible that offered by
the plaintiff when due regard is had to the re-
spectability of the witnesses examined. Exclud-
ing all the defendants testimony which has been
excepted to, enough remains to show that with
respect to bad temper and harsh treatment neither
party is blameless. In Maryland there has always
been, by the courts, careful recognition of the
sanctty of the marriage relation, and the tie will
not be dissolved by judicial sanction for light and
trivial causes. When wife invokes the interpo-
stion of court of equity, and asks to be relieved
from the sacred obligations imposed by her nuptal
vows, she should approach the tribunal of justice
without culpability.
"If in this cause blame attaches to the husband
the evidence discloses equal culpability the
part of the wife, and the principles enunciated in
Childs VS.. Chids, 40 Md, 500, must govern us in
our determination. The bill of complaint should
therefore be dismissed, with costs to the plaintiff,
and 1t is so ordered. GEO. YELL0TT.
DAVID FOWLER.
al cannot concur in the above decision.
JAS. D. WATERS"
On Thursday the plaintiff, Mrs. Hawkins, gave
bond in the sum of $4,000, and ordered an appeal
to the Court of Appeals from the decree of the
court dismissing the bill. The counsel for the
plaintiff are Messrs. A. II. Robertson, d. G. McIn-
tosh and Marshall Hall, and for the defendant,
Major John 1. Yellott and Hon. Geo. Hawkins
Williams.

Arlington, Sd District.-Pic-nics and ex-
cursons seem to be the most popular things on
the tapis just now. On Tuesday of this week the
NJ E. Sunday School South, of this place, held
its annual picnic at Browns Mills, very pic
turesque place, about three or four miles from
here. The day was a pleasant one and they en-
joyed it to tho fullest extent returning home late
in the evening. About Thursday of next week
the McKendree M. E. school will also go to
Druid Hill Park to spend the day, and doubtless
visions of ice cream, with the plates heaped up"
and lemonade, arise in many Juvenile minds.
The new race course and its appurtenances ap-
pear to be progressing rapidly. We suppose
Arlington will one day vie with its neighbor,
Pimlico, as the Mecca for sportsmen.

The following sharp competition between two

took place lately, viz farmer bought single
reaper and mower from a dealer, whom for
short, we will designate A. B, another dealer,
told the farmer if he would return the machines
he bought of A, that he, B, would make him
present of two new machines, the kind he was
selling. The farmer tells A of the offer, and A
agreed to take his machines back, provided the
farmer would make affidavit, which he did, and
received the gift from B, and now A is publish
ing the affidavit, much to the discredit of his COM
petitor, B.
Farm machinery, like sewing machines, need
considerable reduction in prices, and then deal
ers could not make such offers. O.

suitable to the occasion, preached by Rev. DIR.
