Bel Air will capitulate to the teachers

to the public is the fine entertainment furnish

evening, an entertainment by the teachers one
evening and two evenings of unalloyed de-
light with the Schumann Concert Company

| As the time approaches for fall seeding, l

The largest yield of wheat this year was
from my Special Compound. The best set of
grass is where Special Compound was applied
last fall.
The secret of the success Of Special Com
pound is that'it is made of pure bone; it lasts
longer, and makes better crops than any
other fertilizer. You have only to look back

had along with other goods. Farmers are still
using II, while the other brands have gone out
of existence, or have had their names changed.

now have come back and bought my goods
telling me that they never have better crops
than when they use them, and, besides, their
farm gets richer all the time, and they can al
ways get a set of grass, and cut good crops of
hay after it.

the superiority IF them.

A Touching Story.

In st. Mary's church yard, near Emmorton,
is the grave of u young Englishman, concern
ing whom an interesting and pathetic story is
told. He was well connected in his native
country and crossed the Atlantic seeking his
fortune. His health failed and starvation star
ing him in the face he found refuge in the
Hartford county Almshouse, where he died.
Before his death he requested the overseer to
inform his parents in England of his fate. His
body was buried in the "Potter's Field" on the
Almshousc farm and his request complied
with. Shortly afterwards sum of money was
sent by the afflicted parents to pay for the
erection of Il tombstone over his remains. This
was done and afterwards they requested that
the body be suitably inferred in an Episcopal
church yard, the parents being members of
the Church of England. Accordingly the re-
mains of the unfortunate young man were re-
moved to ST. Mary's, where they have quietly
rested for nearly half century. The tomb
stone, which had been made of soft limestone,
was accidentally broken before the removal
was effected, but was restored. Again it broke
and the present rector of the church had it re-
paired. The inscription, now almost illegible.
is as follows:
ITO the Beloved Memory of
NATHANIEL BENDALL,
who was born at Wiltshire, England, and died
in Hartford County, Maryland, December 8,
1850, in the 26th year of his age.
Stranger, moment stay, if in thine eye
A tear e'er stood or bosom heaved sigh;
moment gaze-this humble stone
Records the memory of dear loved one.
Removed from home he drew his dying breath;
No parent soothed him in the hour of death;
No sisters tear upon his couch was shed;
No brothers arm upheld his dying head.
He died beloved, and memory heaves Il sigh
And moulds affections tear in many an eye.
Ills distance servers else we would not crave
Thy tear Of pity on this humble grave.

was told some one was in his melon patch
He and his partner, Mr.. l.. T. Michael armed
themselves with the panoply of war and made
for the patch Mr.. Malcolm found the intrud-
er where he lay hid among the weeds and
vines. He ordered him to get up but the fell
low was little slow to move. Mr.. Malcolm

late to do growing crops much good, except
late sugar corn.
Mr.. Cornelius Cole, one our best tomato
packers says there is not much to can and that
the season will necessarily be short. Mr.. Cole
is an expert on tomatoes and knows what lie
is talking about 1t is trte and true saying

There is little wonder that all the agents

RECKORD'S SPECIAL COMPOUND.
They say 81 will sell you just good fertil-
izers as Special Compound, for several dollars
per ton less my Phosphate is us good as
Rcckord's Special Compound Some even
say, "If my fertilizer is not rs good as Reck
ord's you need not pay for it y and cases have
been known where they DID NOT have to pay
for it. Even then the cheaper fertilizer was
the most expensive. You loose your crop and
time also.
With our experience we know how to make
fertilizer that is best adapted for the crop upon
which it is to be applied. Certainly we know
as much about it as people who never made
pound in their lives.
You need fertilizer that will bring the re-
suits in the soil. 1t is not so particular as to
its analysis. Fertilizer with the same analysis
can be attained for much less money than we
sell Special Compound for. If you only desire
analysis we can make fertilizer. guaranteed
as high analysis as Special Compound, for u
the price of the Compound, but the compost
ton will not be the same. Yon get more than
the analysis from us. With each bag of Spe-
cial Compound you get quarter of Il century's
experience in manufacturing. The results
show this is worth something in fertilizer.
The crops stand drought much better and
give much larger yield than when cheap
common goods are used. The largest crops
raised in Hartford have been raised with Reck-
ord's Special Compound.
All of the best and most successful farmers
buy it because they know the BEST Is THE
CHEAPEST. They prefer it at so per cent.
advance i'll price, because the results pay
them.
we are prepared to give you better SER
vice for the money than any other manufac-
turer Offering goods. Our expenses are less
and our facilities better. Wcwould be pleased
| to have any one visit our factory and examine
our stock before manufacture, and remain if
| they desire while it is made.
We stand ready at all times TO buy from our
customers their products, thereby making Al
| home market for their grain, &c. We sell all
kinds of Fertilizer and Chemicals and will name
lowest price upon application.
