The Baltimore County union. [volume] (Towsontown, Md.) 1865-1909, 1886-05-22

Hebbville, I'd District.-Owing to the search
ty of news in this section have not been able TO
write for several weeks, and would not now only
there are so many giving me "Hail Columbia" for
having nothing in The UNION. Allow me to say
to such that if they would give or send me items
of general interest, or if they would send them to
the editors they would be glad to receive them
The literary society held its final meeting last
Friday night, and was only business meeting to
settle up accounts. The association has been
grand success in every way, and you, Messrs. Ed
itors, come in for large share of the praise, as
your valuable paper weekly gave publicity to and
aided its influence. The benefits derived from it
by this community are incalculable and inestima-
BILE. The resolutions of coincidence adopted by
the society, and to be presented to Mr.. Luther
Timanus and family, are being engrossed by Prof.
Burnette of Eaton & Burnette's Business College,
Baltimore, and no doubt will be very handsome.
A double wedding took place here last week
Mr.. August Detmer to Miss Jennie Sutch, and
Mr. Charles Sutch to Miss Mary A. Kiser. The
nuptials took place at Gainesville, Rev. George
W. Ebelin, of the Lutheran Church at that place,
officiating. On the return of the bridal par les
grand reception was given them by Mr.. John
Sutch. Mr.. August Detmer being joked about
having to pay $3.50 for his wife instead of Sl.O
by waiting until after the LIST of June, said, "Im
satisfied L didn't pay too much for her."
This section is frequently visited by large sea-
birds of late. The bird Mr.. Luther Timanus shot,
and which was mentioned in my letter at the time,
was an osprey, the actual measurement of which
was five feet and nine inches. On last Monday
afternoon two strange looking birds came flying
over. Mr. August Detmer ran out with his gun
and winged one of them. The other flew around
its mate for some time but sailed off just as Mr..
Adolphus Smnk came with his gun. The bird
that was winged stood five feet high and measur-
ed six feet aud half from tip to tip of wings, and
belongs to the crane species.
The old church, which was offered for sale last
week, was bid in by Mr.. John Kalb. The build
ing committee has decided to use the old church
material Excepting the shingles) in the new
church. The new edifce will be 80 by As feet,
Gothic style, and quite an improvement to Hebb-
Vile when completed. Rev. III. N. Greninger and
C. Hidy are committee to secure st. Johns
Church, where the literary society meets. TO had
Sunday school and preaching in during the cree.
ton of the church, and if it cannot be secured
the congregation proposes tenting out. MessS.
A. Hidy and j. Mackin are to do the wood work
by the day. The mason work has not been given
out. The spire of the church will be about 70 feet
high, raised from an eight foot square vestibue.
The roads are being put in good travelling con-
dition in this section, by the supervisor, and
great deal of labor and material have been re,
CURED
Mr. William Piel recently made trip of four
or five days through Pennsylvania and on his re-
turn gave glowing account of the crops. The
late rains have given the grain and grass in this
section a wonderful impetus and now it is thought
that there will be over an average crop of both.
Mr. William Riddle has moved his house back
preparatory to erecting fine large front building,
into which he proposes taking his recently made
bride. So you observe that Hebbville is fast i'm
proving.
Mr.. John Fishpaw, the recently appointed mag
istrate for this section is now ready to attend to
any business placed in his hands, and he being a
live, knowing man, the public can rest assured
that the business will be attended to promptly.
