The good shedding snow, which we
are having, has enabled our farmers
to do much hauling. Lime rock and
coal are heaped up in large quanti-
ties on all farms owned by the ener-
getic and thrifty farmers ofour county
around about. The absence of those
heaps of lime rock and coal would
plainly indicate that energy and in
dusty are badly needed by owners of
such farms.
Last Saturday there passed here,

We kindly accept the explanation
given by our friend correspondent
of Bethlehem in regard to those apple
trees and freely beg pardon for being
so slow of apprehension. 1t never
entered the writer's mind that they
were young scions of one or two years
growth. People living in a timbered
country when others speak of trees
even if they are apple trees, are liable
to judge they are of some size, as the
following incident will prove: A friend
of ours being present at the opening
up of Oklahoma for settlement, was
informed by a friend of his that he
had procured a timber claim and
begged of him to go along and see it..
Our friend being used to see large
timber naturally expected to see large
trees. When they reached the claim
our friend was delighted with the lay
of the country but he failed to see the
timber part, so he interrogated his
friend as to that part of his claim,
whose answer was pointing to clump
of bushes, cover there it is" Our
friend asserted that without exaggera-
tion the tallest one was notover fifteen
feet.

WAR RECORDS OF MARYLAND
Her Union Soldiers OF The Great
War.

htT vi Inc Gfeat WAF<&
War. f
Col. q. w. F. Vernon, of the State
commission TO. the compilation and
publication of the war records sof
Maryland Union soldiers in the late
civil war, said a few days ago that
the first volume of the records we're
now in the hands of the printers
Messrs. Guggenheimer & Weil--and
was expected to come from the press
about the middle of February.
The volume contains the records of
the white land forces from Maryland,
while the second volume will contain
the records of sailors and marines
and Maryland colored troops, and, al
though two or three thousand dollars
of the $4,000 appropriation bill will
remain after the publication of the
first volume, the amount will be an
sufficient to complete the first volume.
Maryland sent into the war on the
Union side 50,316 white, and 9,718 col
ored troops, and 1926 sailors and ma
rines, nearly one-teuth of the male
population of the State at that time,
and the work of collecting and COM
piling the records have been arduous
on account, largely, of the neglect of
the work for so many years following
upon the close of the war. many re-
cords having been lost or misplaced.
The first volume-of $50 Dages-ex-
hibits a most creditable work upon
the part of the commission-Adjuta
General l.. Allison Wilmer, Colonel
Vernon and Dr.. j. H. Jarrett. A
brief military history of each regi-
ment, battery or independent com
pany is given, as well as a short ac-
count of the officers, and disposition
of the rank and file, no extended or
individual laudation being INDUCED
in, due credit, however, being given
to conspicuous service. The name of
every officer and enlisted man is
given, so far as has been possible to
collect them, the records of the State
Adiutant Generals Office and of the
War Department being carefully
searched to that end
The resolution under which the rec
ords are being published provided
for one thousand copies only, of which
three hundred were to go to the
Grand Army of the Republic and the
balance to adjutant generals of other
States, public libraries, etc, and Col
Vernon, who deems such number of
volumes entirely inadequate to sup
ply the demand from these and other
sources, suggest provision be made
for larger edition, to be sold at cost
to such persons as desire them Many
of the old soldiers, he thinks, would
be willing to pay for the records, to
hand down to their posterity

There is not one great modern char

reaching no higher than his ankles

his shoes, and failed utterly to raise
their eyes to the noble head, with its

through the frightful soul-straining
weight that was laid by the people
upon this man of the people. AS the

vary our pettiness-are no longer eX-
