White Ground, I'd District.-One of the
most pleasant surprise parties ever given in
| this neighborhood was rendered to Mr.. and
Mrs. John w Upton. by their Baltimore friends,
on the evening of October 2lst. The party
came out in one of Kinnear's large buses,
| drawn by six white horses covered with bells,
| the ingling of which, coupled with the footing
| of the tin horns, made such racket as is rarely
heard in this quiet neighborhood So com
| pletely were Mr.. and Mrs. Upton surprised that
| when the ice-cream, &C., that had been ordered
| by the visitors was brought to their house,
| they refused to receive it and not until the
| party arrived did they comprehend what was
| in store for them. To say that they had jolly
time does not half express it. About o'clock
the table was spread in the dining room and
all partook of the refreshments that had been
so bountifully provided. When the hour for
departure came general regret was expressed
that the hours had sped so rapidly. Among
those of the party were Mr.. ard Mrs: T. Frank,
Primrose, May and Hettie Henry, Mollie Nc
Daniel, Maggie Handy, May Caring, Bessie
HARDWOOD, Nellie Kearner, Eta and BERTHE

Political matters in this section are unusually
quiet, very little interest being taken in the
campaign. No one talks politics or seems to
care anything about the contest.

lieve the monotony being weddings, six of
which have taken place during the past two
weeks. The young people are all the sons and
daughters of farmers The grooms have rented
places and have settled down to farming and
trucking. All have the best wishes of the COM
munity.
Thus far we have experienced the most re-
markable fall on record. At this writing we
have had no frost to kill vegetation. In exam
lining my diary, in which have kept record
| of the weather every day for ten years, find
that every fall in that period frost had destroy
| ed all vegetation before this time.
| Farmers have finished sowing wheat and the
acreage seeded is much smaller than usual. due
to the fact of poor crops and prices for several
years. Corn is now being saved, but there has
not been one old-time husking match. These
seem to be thing of the past.

Thursday night the attendance was small,
| owing to the inclement weather. Owing to
| this fact the question for debate was postponed
| until the next meeting.
Ihave conversed with number of people
| on the subject of the book fee question, which
was so ably discussed by your 9th district cor
respondent last week. All agree that there is
much injustice done by admitting so many
free pupils to the school at this place. l really
do not believe that one-half the children pay

the book fee for their children. There are
many who own property and do good bust

school as free pupils. would be the last man
to say make all pay, for know of many chill
dren whose parents are unable to bear the ex-
pense and who would be raised in ignorance
if the fee were exacted. The trustees should
destroy the free list every year and them only

whose parents are too poor to pay for them.
| There should be neither politics nor favorite-
ism in this matter and every child who can
pay should be compelled to dos So Juno.

For several years past the Hartford road has
been very much neglected and in consequence
those who use it object very much to the high
rates of toll charged. In consequence of this
neglect property along the road has deprecated
from the city to look at property, but who de-
clined to buy simply because of the bad con-
dition of the pike. Efforts have been made for
relief, but the company has always turned a
deaf ear to the demands Last December the
city grand jury indicted the company, but
when the case came for trial it failed because
of flaw in theindictment. Nothing has since
been DONE
