us farmers. The spring crops uncultivated, har-
vest upon us, and the ominous clouds still pour
ing down their fullness until the ground is soften
| ed to pulp. Well may we exclaim what shall we
| do,' and echo, as in mockery, answers BACK IN
silent cadence from its mysterious depths, what
shall we do" The above was the eloquent etfu-
sion of rhetorical Hebbville farmer to friend,
| who replied with diabolistic grace damn tt
| True, the farmers are back with their work, out
'theres no O. takin' bout it in dat kind O.
style," for all will be well if you little patient
| Messrs Monterey and Adolphus Smink have
| finished concreting the beautiful square on Eutaw
| Place, near Boundary avenue. The City Commis-
| sioner was well pleased with the work that he
wanted to engage them Immediately to concrete
another square, but having Mr.. Riddles house to
do could not undertake it for the present. One
thing about these gentlemen is, they thoroughly
| understand their business
The foundation for the new church is rapidly
| progressing The cornerstone will be laid with
appropriate ceremonies on the 18th OF July, when,
| no doubt, the populace of Hebbville and its en-
| virons will turn out en- masse and the occasion
| will be one long to be remembered. The demoli-
| ton of the old church a sad affair to some
of its old members. Within its time honored walls,
| that have withstood the elements for so many
years, they have worshipped, that when it was
| razed to the earth the tear unbidden fell.
Mr.. William E. Upton has bought self binder
| with all the modern improvements attached, which
he told lady complete. After moments
! pause she replied, "No; no machine is complete
| until it has a mill and bakery attached to 1t,
and dyspeptic chimed in, "and digestive ap-
| aratus also."
| Inasmuch as the trustees of Humane public
school No. have taken a nap-judgment on the
patrons of said school, in reappointing the present
teacher in opposition to their wishes, the private
school will be continued next year. The first year
it numbered fifty six pupils and the present year
it reached upwards of seventy. Next year, If all
tha afed natrOniZe the private school,
the eyes of those in authority will be opened to the
| interest of the children of this community and a
| good male teacher will be secured for the school,
| The public will receive the thanks of the teacher
of the private school for their kind patronage and
his efforts in the education of chdran OF this sec
tion will be redoubied next year.
Among the many improvements in this section,
and perhaps the most noticeable is the front yard
| of Prof. Zimmerman, which is not only ornamen-
tai but unique and attractive. The design is orig
ina and the execution the work of his own hands.
| 1t consists of rectangular mounds surmounted by
fine life size statuary, elevated circles and geomet
ric designs adorned with choice Towering plants.
| These together with neatly graveled walks, all
| combine to produce result quite novel in a rural
section where the usual order of things is rather
plain. The Prof delights in landscape gardening
and says it is a most potent appetizer.
| Is it not very strange that our goodly heritage
is to be pest-ridden every Sunday by hordes of
scoundrels and outlaws from Baltimore, who dare
not, under cover of night, much less in the glare
of day. comnit it such lawlessness in the city as they
| perpetrate every Sunday at midday in our midst.
| Last Sunday seemed to be gala day with them.
| Crowds of them came out in wagons. They drank
beer and whisky, played cards, haooed, cursed,
danced and demolished fruit trees. In fact devils
| incarnate could not have behaved worse. DIR.
| Hebb and others solicited Mr.. Adophus Smink to
become special officer for this section, andif he
| will accept the DR.. will take his name over and
| have the good fathers at Towsontown appoint him.
1t is hoped something will be done at an early day
to bring these law breakers to justice.
| Mr.. John Stern, while returning from the city
the other day with heavy load of manure, ran
| down a high embankment along the roadside
| Fortunately no damage was DONE 1t would be
well if the County Commissioners would widen the
roads for men who cannot drive in 81 foot road.
AS my school has closed until Sept. 1st, and
| having nothing else to do, will accept Mr.. Bray
shaw's challenge to meet him with "greased mus
cles" in mortal conflict, a. half league apart, Mr..
VIM. Piel, mayor of Hebbvlle, acting as my second.
The time and place indefinitely postponed.
Mr.. Charles Widerman, who had such narrow
escape from instant death by log rolling on him,
is convalescent, which is quite an agreeable sur
prise to every
"The harvest is great out the laborers are few"
No wonder, when the work is done almost entire
ly by machinery, which, like canker, is destroy
ing the vitals of those who eat their bread by the
sweat of their brow.
At the time of this writing Mr.. Adolphus Smink's
wife is very sick with an acute attack of cholera

Long Green, 11th District.-Our valley is
blooming with rich harvest of every kind of
gran grass and different cereals and the farmers
heart is made to rejoice at the great abundance of
all his products We are in the midst of busy
times The weather has been unfavorable for
working corn and potatoes ever since these crops
were fit to work, now that the hay and wheat are
ready to harvest the corn and potatoes have also
to be attended to. This is very unfortunate, and
doubly so account of the scarcity of labor. If
it were not for the self binding harvester we would
be in a very bad fix. But thanks to the poor, des
