1t has been many days since the little viii
lage of Edwards Ferry has been heard
from, but nevertheless it is blessed with those
same old hospitable homes which tend to
make everything so bithe and gay. Christ
mas has been spent very pleasantly, and
seems to have been enjoyed by almost every
one. You may search the globe, from the
Golden Klondike regions to the extreme
borders of the South and you cannot find a
more sociable set of people than those we
possess. Our people are not only hospita-
BILE, but also talented. We have students at
different institutions oflearning which rank
foremost in the State, and the cadets can be
seen passing to and fro from village to vii.

Annoying to Farmers.-.The Com,

missioners Of the District of Columbia, I'M
der date of the 4th of December, published
police regulation in regard to the use of bicy.
Giles, carriages, wagons, &C., on the streets in
the District, section II of the same reading
as follows:
"On and after March /, 1898, all motor
carriages and all vehicles drawn by draft
animals in motion between one hour after
sunset and one hour before sunrise, shall
display lighted lamps, so placed as to be
visible from the front and both sides there
Of"
While we have no disposition to criticise
the action of the Commissioners in this mat
ter, we think that the above regulation will
work great hardship on the farmers of our
county who market their produce in Wash.
ington. We have talked with number of
farmers on the subject and they are unani-
nous in the opinion that the enforcement of
the regulation will put them to a great deal
of unnecessary trouble and expense, without
corresponding benefit to anybody. They
claim that while light might be carried on
or in front of an ordinary market wagon
without inconvenience, such could not pos.
sibly be the case when large four and six
horse wagons loaded with hay, straw and
other bulky products were used. While
farmers generally sell and deliver their loads
of hay, straw, sc during the day, there are
often times when they are detained for want
of an order and then have to drive to a dis
tant part of the city, thus OBTAINING them
until after night fall, and laying themselves
liable to the penalty of arrest and fine unless
the above regulation is complied with. We
believe, with proper representations made
to the Commissioners by our people who
are interested in the matter, change can
be made in the regulation, at least so far as
wagons loaded with hay and straw are con
cerned.

Donation to a Pastor.--Tuesda

Donation to a Pastor Tuesday, De-
cember 21st, a meeting of members and
friends at the parsonage of the M. e. Church
South, Gaithersburg, put Pastor Lloyd and
his family on the sunnyside. Substantials
and delicacies, such as the farm yields and
the trade supplies, were offered in abound

gospel teaching that the communication Of
creature comforts is small thing com
pared to spiritual benefits conferred in faith
ful pulpit and pastoral service. Though
intended as a surprise, it was hardly sur
prising, for this congregation has honestly
won an enviable reputation for generous
treatment of its ministers in this regard

County Libraries.

The establishment of county libraries is
one of the subjects of legislation to be
brought before the General Assembly
The idea itself is commendable one, but
it is not likely to be carried into effect
Even il the State appropiates the $4,000
asked, 800 for each county, as the nucleus
of the fund for library, the counties them
selves, in the majority of instances, are apt
to be very slow in adding to this sum a
sufficient amount of money to purchase
even the most modest collection of books
! In the country districts the school libraries
have prove of great value, and many OF
them are adequate to the reading demand
in the community. These libraries have
cost the patrons of the schools about as
much money as the majority of them care
to see expended for such purposes, and they
would naturally object to contributing, d.
rectly or indirectly, to the county libraries.
With the county library located in the
county town, its greatest benefit would be
reaped by the residents of the town and the
immediate vicinity. In a number of the
COuuJleS large pTOpuitlbu vi INC ihuubi-
tants seldom visit the county town, owing
to its distance or inaccessbility, while their
urban interests perhaps lie in another coun-
ty. 1t is reasonable TO suppose that this
class of citizens would object, and object
strenuously, to being taxed for library, the
chief and often the sole use OF which would
be confined to town people.
The promoters of the county library plan,
however, are not urging an entirely imprac.
! ticable project. Much depends upon its
scope and purpose, reference library in
the county towns would be valuable to the
great majority of the people in each county.
A circulating library of general literature,
as we have said, would exist for the benefit
of the few, and those necessarily deprived
of its use are certain to object to a PROPOSE
ton to support It, AS the school library
system has been established, it would prob
ably be better for the whole people to ex.
pand aud develop it, and drop the county
library proposition, for some years at least
