Old Town and the Maryland Central
Railroad.

Mr.. Theodore F. Wilcox, President Of the
Old Town Merchants and Manufacturers
Association, in recent interview with re-
preventative of the Baltimore Sun about the
needed improvements of Old Town, said
"Our business in Old Town is growing, and
il could be still further increased q, tritling
cost. The main obstruction is a political
one that could be wipe out at one blow. |
refer to the extension Of the Maryland Cen.
trail Railroad to Hillen Station. The city
practically owns the Western Maryland. If
the authorities of the city aud county will do
the proper thing, they will see that an add-
tional track is laid upon the crossties of the
Western Maryland. This would permit tue
narrow gauge Maryland Central cars to run
upon track of proper width. The matter
lies to great extent with the city council"
The idea advanced by Mr.. Wilcox will
meet with favor in Hartford aud Baltimore
counties. For many years the citizens of a
large portion of both counties transacted the
most of their business in Old Town and their
leaning is still strong in that direction Old
Town can now boast of fine, large stores of
all kinds, as well as manufacturing enter
prises, sufficient to supply nil the needs of
country people, while the lower rents, rs
compared with other parts the city, enable
Old Town merchants to sell goods at low
prices.
We believe the extension of the Maryland
Central Railroad to Old Town, as proposed
by Mr.. Wilcox, would add materially to the
value of the road, and greatly increase its
convenience to our people.

Our County Fair.

1t was evident, from the large attendance at
the meeting of stockholders of our county
Agricultural Society, that there is still a wide
spread interest in the society which only
needs to be fostered and properly directed TO
ensure every year first class fair. The
stockholders wisely determined to reduce the
admission fee TO the fair to twenty-five cents,
and abolished, for one year at least, the
privileges of free admission to stockholders
and their families. The meeting was almost
unanimous on both of these points.
The society is now burdened with debt
of $4,000, against which they have buildings
and grounds worth over $4,000. Notwith-
st finding, unless some measure had been re-
sorted to for increasing the receipts at the
annual exhibitions, it was only question
of time when this valuable property would
have to be sold to pay the debts Of the society
Such result would have been crying shame
to our prosperous and enterprising county,
which no public-spirited citizen could con-
template without blush.
The newly-elected board of directors met
on Monday and elected Mr.. John Moores, of
the third district, as President. Mr.. Moores
is recognized as man of business ability and
energy, and we are confident he will do all
in his power to place the society on its feet
again. The new board of directors, we be-
lieve, may also be depended upon to do their
duty, but unless the her stockholders lend
their personal aid and influence to make an
attractive fair this year, another financial
failure will be the result. Former boards of
directors have not had the encouragement
and support which they should have had,
and it is unjust to charge the lessened re
ceipts entirely upon them.
1t should be remembered that the directors
serve without pay and have very few privi-
leges beyond what are enjoyed by other stock
holders. They are therefore entitled to ask
that every friend of the society should aid
them in promoting its interests 1t is not
too soon for every farmer in the county to
look over his stock and decide what he will
exhibit at the fair, and Harford's notable
housekeepers, too, should bestir themselves.
Much of the attractveness of the fair to
many persons depends upon the display
in the household departments, and we hope
ourJair friends will prove friends to the fair
by doing all they can to aid the directors in
having creditablc and successful exhibition
in 1888.
