| About 1000 persons attended Emory
| Grove camp-meeting last Sunday. The weather
gave a good many drenching. Should the
weather prove favorable next Sunday it is eX-
| pected that the crowd will be much larger.
->It is not an unusual occurrence now for
| the Blue Mountain express ON the Western
Maryland Railroad, to run from Glyndon to
! Baltimore, distance of about 25 miles, in TWEEN
ty minutes. This road is in splendid condition
and the equipment is in all respects first-class.
"a slight change of the schedule of the
! MARYLAND Central road went into effect on
| Thursday. The train which formerly left for
| TOwsontown and Loeb Raven at 10 A. NJ,
How leaves at IL O'clock. On its return trip
| this train reaches North Avenue Station at Il. 30
/ p. NJ.
- Baltimore county truckers who had to-
matoes in market last Saturday, were Obliged
to sell them for anything they could get and
hundreds of bushels were sold as low as Is cents.
The late rains caused the tomatoes to ripen rap
idly and the markets were glutted, depressing
the price.
"A St. Louis preacher named Hicks has
gone into the weather prophet business and
says we will experience heavy storms between
the 18th and 10th of August, and from the 9th
tn the LIST of September. He also says that if

earthquakes.

> A lady of our acquaintance has a seven
year-old boy who is very fond of good things to
eat During recent heavy thunder storm the
mother expressed some fear of the lightning,
when the little fellow said mamma, you
mustn't be afraid God won't let the lightning
strike anybody who makes as good pies and
cakes as you do"
->Rumors are again being circulated that
when the MARYLAND Central Railroad is sold in
December the Pennsylvania r. r. Company
will secure control of it. 1t is earnestly hoped
here that there is truth i'll the report. Should
that company get the road it would be only a
short time before we would have tirst-class
railroad facilities.

> For some time past two white crows have
been using in the lower end of Green Spring
Valley and about BroOklandwood, where they
have been seen many times The birds are not
exactly white, but they are certainly not black,
and can be easily distinguished from their
mates on account of their peculiar color. In
all other respects they are exactly like the black
crows.

I'VE have complaints from Greenwood p.
O. that the package of UNIONS addressed to that
office which should have been delivered Satur-
day morning last, did not reach its destination
until Monday. The cause of this delay was in
the Baltimore postOffice. Our paper is mailed
regularly from this office every Friday evening
and if it does not reach all county offices by
Saturday the fault is not with us.
1.-The County Fair is only two weeks of
from next Tuesday and it is time to be getting
ready for it. Everybody in the county should
go to the fair at least one day and thus encour-
age the enterprise. There is no better adver-
tisement for county than good agricul-
tural show and all should take an interest in
its success. The coming exhibition promises
to be the best ever held by the society.
IA resident of TOwsontOwn this week re-
ceived postal from Philadelphia friend with
the following message: High license has
played havoc here and as there is no prospect
of an abatement, write to ascertain if the dis
tillery in your precinct is in operation; pre-
sumo you will comprehend what l desire to
know" The recipient of the postal has no idea
what the Philadelphia man is driving at.
THE Towsontown correspondent of the
Baltimore San got considerably mixed in his
letter published in Mondays edition of that
paper. He stated that the Maryland Central
Railroad would be sold here that day, and also
that the Towson Guards tournament would
take place on Monday. The railroad will be
sold December 10th and the tournament did not
come off until Wednesday, This is another
case of going from home to get the news.
MIR. Chas. +. Fendall, of TowSontOwn
while on recent visit to Hartford, had fine
sport fishing for white fish in Deer Creek, near
Clermont Mills. In few hours he caught
fifteen, the largest of which was 1913 inches i'll
length. An eighth of an inch appears to be a
trifing thing in measurement of that kind
but it's always well to be exact. Of course
everybody knows that Mr.. Fendall wouldn't
lie about small matter like that, particular
ly in measuring fish.
->In short time THE UNION hopes to be
back in its old quarters in the Lee Building.
We will occupy the entire second story. of the
main building, using the rear room for our
presses and engine and the front for composing
room and private office. This will give us much
more room than we had before and will enable
us to fit up a complete establishment, with
everything new. The newspaper press has al
ready been put in. 1t is one of CampbelPs
latest improved machines. The other fixtures
are ready to be set up and by the end of next
week we hope to have everything in running
order SO far as the press room is concerned.
