the subject of obtaining wagon licenses in thecity,
it is stated that license is required for the sale
of produce when brought to the city for that pur-
pose. But when persons bring produce of any
kind raised by themselves, or as the agent of the
producer, to Baltimore, and hawk it about the
streets or deliver it to customers whether regular
customers or not number has to be procured
from the comptroller for the wagon or wagons so
used. If the produce is taken to market and sold,
and not delivered at the houses Of customers,
then no number is required upon the wagon. No
numbers are required upon wagons used by coun-
try storekeepers in hauling their supplies from
the city, nor is any number required upon wagons
and carriages used by people who come into the
city to shop or to purchase family supplies
Numbers are required upon milk carts, butchers

The Coming Fair.=Tl

The Coming Fair.-The managers of our
county society deserve credit this year for the
celebrity and thoroughness with which they have
fitted up the fair grounds. Favored in many
ways by nature and by man, Timonium has never
appeared in better plight than it is now for the
coming exhibition. The grass is green, not
Drowned by drought the track is in splendid or
der; the buildings and shedding overhauled and
repaired, and everything apparently in entire
readiness for the busy week ensuing. 1t now re-
mains for our people, by their hearty personal
participation in the event, by their contributions
to the completeness of the exhibits and by their
attendance on the grounds, to show that they
second the efforts which the Board has put forth
to make the fair not only creditable, but an hon.
orable testimonial to the skill intelligence, in
dustry and public spirit of the county, of which,
so to speak, they are representatives.
1t is only through mutual cooperation by
every man, woman and child, who has something
worthy of being exhibited, whether product of
the soil, of the mine, of the anvil or the bench,
that great success can be achieved; and if the
exhibition of this year fails to be this it is not
the fault of The UNION, which has plead for the
earnest assistance of all who could help what is
so deserving an institution as our home fair.
The time for action has come, and if Baltimore
county means to assist and maintain her place
amongst her sisters of the State, her people must
now show that they are wide awake, not torpid !;
alive, not moribund; practical, not dreaming.
Our resources, our products, our capacity, our
opportunities are such that we are far ahead of
many other communities; and it only needs en-
ergy, and the disposition, to show this to the
world. Let us do this, for the sake of ourselves,
of our families, of our county.

Wants the Belt, Too.-A writer in the Old
Town (Baltimore) Advocate says "The people
residing in that part of Baltimore county known
as the "Belt," are commencing to make a little
noise just as the wind whistles at first before it in
creases to q storm. 1t seems that the "Belt' has
been paying one-third of the entire taxes of Bal
tmore county without receiving any representa-
ton whatever, the farmers of Baltimore county
making effort to for the needs ofthep population
in the district above named without experience
sufficient to measure up to the wants of q growing
people. 1t is case where the tail is trying to
wag the dog, metaphorically speaking, and the
dog is commencing to growl. The accommoda-
tons given in return for the money paid over to
the tax gatherer not in keeping with the needs
of thickly settled community, and may sooner
or later lead to some disaster. 1t would be wise
for the property holders in the "Belt" to allow
themselves to become part Of the city of Balt-
more, the difference in taxes paid would insure
them more protection and comfort, and would in
crease the value of their property. There is
difference between a country road and street
filled with houses-one requires q fre-plug, the
other does not. THERE'S also difference between
a large accumulation of personal property in any
particular place, and the green fields, because no
one could make much by trying to rob the fields
of their product, whilst the presence of plenty of
well-armed, brave policeman is necessary to make
a community feel secure in their possessions"

An excellent home entertainment is

A good plan is for all the members of

some one tbing-a chair, or q stove, a
pile OF books, a dog or cat. Or one may
sit as "model" and give the others
twenty minutes in which to make a

happens that rome mem Der of tn o family

should lake his turn at this, and be OBJ

clay, mud of the proper consistency, will
entertain group Of youn zsters for an
evening, in modelling. The quick -witted
boy, or girl, will make rude framework
