The Democratic primary recently held in this
district was as primaries generally are farce and
a mockery, votes being freely bought and sold.-
| Truly that highest boon given to an American
citizen is becoming terribly corrupted, so much So
at least that most stringent laws should be passed
to preserve the purity of the ballot box and the
! sanctity of American suffrage against manipula

| primary is equivalent to an election in Baltimore
county, such laws should be enacted that citizen
who would dare sell his birthright for "mess of
porrdge should be ostracised and never be allowed
| to VOTE Then and not till then will we have
| honest elections. The Sun newspaper, in speaking
of the new parties springng into existence, said
that if the Democratic party did not get its eyes
| open soon they will be opened for it. This is
| true of both the old parties. The people are
becoming tired of political tricksters and the
| party lash, breaking the letters that have bound
them to the old parties and assuming an indie
pendence that, the Sun says, will open the eyes
| of the old parties sooner or later.
The new church is fast approaching completion

Hereford, 18th District.-Time travels apace
and we promise ourselves to do many things which
are never accomplished because this steady trav-
eer will not tarry to suit the convenience of man.
But omissions and commissions, performances and
negects, duties and pleasures, many acts in
the drama of life passing into history for the in
struction and may we not hope in some respects
for the benefit of future generations.
Our staid old village is doing its part in these
other places, has its incidents and events. Last
month the colored people held camp meeting
and the white folks run it for them, and the poll
ticians made the whisky run to the detriment of
the morals of some of the young men. Entertain
ments and pic-nics are furnishing pleasure and
recreation for all classes while the financial pro-
ceeds aid worthy objects in the churches and So
ceties Sickness and death make an occasional
victim, yet the increase in population exceeds the
decrease.
The farmers are busy in the labors of the season
and the corn shocks that dot the fields tell of the
maturing of autumn grains, while the seed sowing
in progress is the preparation for the anticipated

can tell who shall be the reapers. But harvests
and reapers will come not only in the fields but
also in fe and it is to be wished that the people
would be as careful in sowing good seed as the
farmer in sowing good grain that the harvest
might be equally satisfactory and profitable. But
thissbusy world has so much to claim our time and
attention in the present that too little leisure is
given to the immortal and eternal of the future
which we fear will cause remorse when too late.
However, your correspondent prefers to commend
rather than censure, to encourage rather than
Judge: and while there is wide margin for i'm
provement, a commendabe zeal in moral and re-
ligious things prove that many are not negligent
of their eternal interests
On Sept. 10th the Middle District Baptist Asso-
citation met in our village. This body is composed
of some of the Baptist Churches of Baltimore and
all those located in Baltimore county. The pro-
gramme consisted of preaching and discussion Ut
subjects relating to missions and church prosperity.
In the report on home missions the success Of the
lowering Manual Labor School for the Indians
| was highly commended. This school is located in
the Creek nation of the Indian territory, where
number Ct the qaaQGs arts and also given proper
moral and religious training, and we could not

discussion the political parties were censured for
their want of moral courage and pandering to the
rum power, and voters we're urged to make tenn
perance matter of principle and conscience, and
if present success not attainable he who voted
for principle wasted his vote, for truth and
right were mighty and would prevail. Other dis
