The Corn BuyerS-MrS- DlllehunI heao1ngS-
A Hop olitics-Accidents.
The pleasant weather of the past week has
been generously taken advantage of both in
profit and pleasure Thousands of bushels OF
wheat have been threshed and loaded at
Svkesville, Gathers and Gorsuch's. We
have here, too, a veritable corn exchange.
Three buyers have established themselves
here and are doing 4 rushing business. The
first and most prominent is Thomas W. Fisher
ESQ, who has an office in the Schultz build
ing. He has as his representative here A. j.
Dougherty, who buys for him on the street
and in the highways and byways of Carroll
and Howard. Edwin Hewes is represented
here by Wade H. d. Warfield and Agent
Norwood, and John Harris, of harness fame,
represents a Frederick county firm, who buy
on the spot for cash. John was the last one
to 90 into the grain business, and it looks now
as if he would come out last, for in his eager
ness to purchase he bid like a woman at an
auction, and got sadly left at the elevator.
The dancing platform on the tournament
grounds was left intact for a few days, that
the neighborhood might enjoy the benefits of
one of the best floors ever laid in the county.
On Monday night the young society ladies
gave a dance there, which was well attended.
On the same night Delegate Gorsuch gave a
watermelon feast to a few of his friends of the
neighborhood. Ii was thought by some there
was some political significance in this meet
ing, as watermelons once took prominent
part in Freedom primaries, but such was not
the case. There are no bargains to be made,
nor will the thinking men of the party, who
have its best interest at heart, and wish 1t
success. agree to any bartering The district
will 90 uupledged to the convention. About
a dozen partook Of Mr.. Gorsuch' hospitality
at "Idelia" The ladies were away at the
Sykesviile dance. so You know there was more
poker than politics that night
