The Fair.

When Autumn comes around with its
when the blackbird and crow flock in po-
litical meeting and elect delegates TO the
southern convention, and the English spar
row abandons the cares OF his ninth family
for the year, the farmers thoughts naturally
turn to grand round up where he can brag
on his fifteen barrel-to-the. acre corn, and
fftybushel wheat.
In some counties big tournament and
annual picnic serves this purpose. The
money collected goes TO some church or fire
department, or something Of the kind, and
the people never see 1t again. But in Old
Montgomery, where for about hundred
and thirty years the natives have been
watching the outgo of their dollars with
great concern, there has grown within the
last fifty years an institution which collects
| from some to divide among all. 1t is no sordld
corporation with money getting as It's only
object. 1t is a mutual affair, which pays no
dividend to any stakeholder, has no high
salaried officials to sit in easy chairs, (does
not own an easy chair, and in fact exist
only by the patronage of the farmers. Thai
is our County Fair.
1t Is not 80 big as some, but it is biz
enough, and the people only can make
bigger. The management are lively men
hustlers, and if they only can persuade ever!
one TO hustle the Chicago Worlds Fair, i
our estimation, would be no where. 70
owe the Fair little account, settle it b
coming this year. You will not regret il

Condition of the Crops.

The Maryland farmers are jubiant over
the crops. Reports to the State Weather
Bureau report that they are In fine condi-
ton, and few failures have been reported
this week. The recent heavy rains did not
injure the crops so much as was expected,
and the large fields of corn in Northern
Maryland, especially in Howard and Har-
ford counties, were about the only ones that
were damaged. The past week has been
greatly favorable to the farmer, so far as
weather is concerned, and progress in all
kinds of produce has been marked. The
temperature generally has been below the
normal, but there has been an abundance of
sunshine to ripen grain not yet harvested
Corn is in fine condition all over the
State. Tomatoes appear to be ripening
slowly, and the prospects are only fair.
The best reports have been gotten from
North, East and Central Maryland, espe-
cially Frederick and Howard counties
All along the Eastern Shore the tomato
crop is rather under the usual average, and
in some districts will be decidedly poor. In
Calvert county the crop will not reach half
the size attained last year, while In Caro-
line the crop is said to be light, bat OF very
fine quality.
The peach crop is reported to be in fine
condition, and the indications are that 1t
will be much better than was at first thought.
The northern and western counties are send
ing the best peaches.
Potatoes in all parts Of the State are yield
ing from 100 TO $50 bushels to the acre, and
are of fine quality.
Tobacco Is we'll along, most of the early
tobacco being already cut and housed. The
late tobacco, which at first was thought
would be failure, is improving, and will
probably be good crop.
The outlook for sweet corn, sweet pota-
toes, turnlps, grapes and apples, is good, and
farmers feel much encouraged. Celery ia
coming up finely, and the second crop oil
clover is almost ready for cutting, and is
very heavy. Pastures were never better al
this time OF the year. The truckers have SC
far all had good crops, and have made good
progress with their fall blowing.

Counterfeit Mileage Tickets.

Recently there appeared in Pittsburg a
man giving the name of Il. d. Lucas, accom-
panied by woman calling herself May
Anderson, who attempted to dispose OF
counterfeit b u o. Mileage Books. They
did succeed in selling some to the brokers,
and then departed Tor Cleveland, where
they registered at the American House as
II. @. Lucas and wife.
In their efforts to dispose of the spurious
tickets, they aroused suspicious, which were
at once communicated to the b. & o. Agent,
who Immediately took such action as led
to the arrest and conviction of the woman,
who was found guilty Of selling counterfeit
tickets, and sentenced to six months in the
work house, and to pay fine OF $500 and
costs
The man succeeded in making his escape,
but as he is known TO the railroad people
and the police, his arrest is only question
of time.
The b. g. o. officials have taken every
precaution to prevent the sale or use of
these spurious tickets, and have expressed
determination to prosecute to the fullest
extent Of the law anyone caught attempting
to use counterfeit mileage or other bogus
forms OF transportation, and will be espe.
cially vigorous against brokers found offer
ing them Tor sale.

Opinion of a Neighbor of Mr.. Collier

Mr. Editor: |, as an old veteran and G Z.
A. X. man, am glad TO see the sprightly
letter of Mr.. l.. A. White in your last week 8
issue. AS Mr.. White says, there is no need
of one word of defence of Mr.. Collier in
any neighborhood In which he is so well
known as he is here.
He has been my near neighbor for many
years, and | can say most heartily that 10 no
quality that is required to make man is he
IN anywse lacking.
can say further, that as to honesty, com
potency and every other attribute OF gen
teman, he is far In advance OF any OF his
critics-more especially in XII ndness and
charity to the needy.
