BAY VIEW, Feb. %, 1888.
Will johnson, of Baltimore, paid us a
| brief visit this week.
Mr.. Hawkins, of Brooklyn, and some
pastor, Mr.. Litsinger.
| Mr.. +. s. Jetferis who has been ailing for
some weeks past, has recovered sufficiently
to be out. His friends are glad to see hirE
bright and cheerful as of yore.
| Our favorite horse Careless" is still in
the front Notwithstanding the fact that the
owner of "Bell" is striving to make it ap-
pear otherwise. In confirmation Of our
words Mr.. Leedom, his owner, challenges
any HORSEPOWER in our village for any
amount and at auy time place to a trial
of speed. To be decided by judges selected
| by the contestants.
The warm sun of the past few days is
rapidly drying our streets, tho mud and ice
of last week fast disappearing Also re-
minding our citizens who engage in fishing
in the spring of the year that the time is at
hand when they must overhaul their boats,
nets, etc, preparatory to their annual navi-
cation to the sunny sands of he shore
washed by the restless pillows of the blue
| Chesapeake.
That the best of locks are an insufficient
safeguard against evil disposed persons has
! demonstrated in the case of John Trim bIe's
mare "Patti." This valuable young ami
| he, a., of lar
peatedly ridden and driven by some I'M
known party or parties during the last few
weeks despite the midnight vigils of MIR.
! Trim bic and doubly bolted baru-door 1t
is supposed to be the work of some of our
| juvenile fox hunters. We trust that the
| perpetrators may be discovered and receive
merited punishment which will be severe
If we are TO use John S words as criterion
by which to judge.
| The entertainment spoken of by us in GU.
last writing will be held in the church on
! Wednesday evening, Feb. 29th. The exer-
| cises, we have reason TO believe, will be quite
| Interesting and well worth the price of ad-
| mission, which will be % cents. The pro-
ceeds will be used in defraying minor bills
| of the church.
! If you will permit l would say few
| words concerning bob" and his commuui-
cation of last week. Whilst it is net our
! purpose to use the columns of your valuable
| paper a battle ground, feel constrained
| TO say that which must remove the ban
which he (Bob) mas placed on me. To hear
| him talk one would naturally infer that he
was truthfulluess personitied, but, alas /!
alas for himself and his oft published vic
tins he has hardened his heart and stiffened
his neck to all things pertaining to the
truth, and at the sacrifice OF friend and neigh
hor closes his eyes to all that is honora BILE,
and dashes away upon a stream of borrowed
| eloqueuCa pfofusely eulbellished with sec.
ond-hand phrases which he has adroitly
| purloined from some foregoing writer's
! waste basket, and which he utlizes in de-
| framing al who may chance TO come under
las observation. lu perusing his latest pro-
| auctions we find them to be an unmitigated
| fabrication from end to end excepting one
paragraph relating to a funeral which was
| correct, composed in the main of words of
praise of himself and his, and the dispsr-
agement of al! others. Now we do not say
this in Idle way but can summon a
/ cloud OF witnesses y no will vouch for the
truthtplluoss OF our assertions,
"JABIN."
