While Taylorsville boasts of its chickens
and Institute, Gist Of its cross-ties, gas we'll
and railroad prospects, Bloom can boast of
its large fish. Some of the early rises in the
vicinity claim that they saw one Of the fnny
tribe that would weigh at least one hundred
pounds, and it was not whale, only a herring
We learn that some person, thinking SO large II
fish would drive all others from the pond. in
tended to kill it by the use of explosives,
but fearing the Game warden, change his
mind. Those living near the bay, being ac
customed to the presence of the fish, think
herring very docile and perfectly harmless

ret. Mr.. A. Dorsey is building store with

One very windy morning, some weeks ago.
a family living in the vicinity of Eldersburgh,
and who raise poultry to some extent, found
one of their incest chickens had gotten its
feet frozen by standng in Il snow drift So
they concluded to have chicken for dinner
The chicken, it seems, had no feathers. 1t
was brought 10 the house and its feet soaked
in cold water; and after it was prepared and
cooked dinner was served. During the meal
the only daughter of the house. Il brilliant
conversalionalist, discovered that the chicken
had bones if not feathers. She was delighted
with the knowledge and knowing full well
that such discovery would be quite an event
in years to come she decided to mpart her
knowledge to some friends for the benefit Of
the community. Consequently one morning
friend received through the mail pair OF
chicken bones, tied with the sweetest of pink
ribbon, and slip of paper on which was
written: 'Have you seen my feathers :?
Even the cold hearted recipient felt that the
gift was worthy of the most hearty thanks
And TO show due appreciation gave the bones
to Pup. We are request to say it is natural
to suppose that the wind blew the feathers
away.
Judging from the length of time some of the
young men stay, the berry crop must be en-
ceptionally good around Berret.

Miscegenation in Maryland.

EDITORS DEMOCRATIC ADVOCATE Have
you noticed the "Miscegenation Bill, of one
Putze, a member of the Legislature from Bal
timore? Does that Dutch Jew mean that it
shall be lawful for negro men to marry white
women and vice versa?
If he does is that what the Republican con-
troll of our state means?
Is it possible that such degradation awaits
our state and its white people?
Can you explain why the Sun paper, News;
Herald and American have not commented
upon the infamy of Putzel's Bill? Is it pos
sible that all these papers, principally sup
ported by white people, are in favor of negro
ism intermingling lawfully with the Anglo
Saxon race?
Are Edwin Abel, Felix Agnus, Wesley
Oler and Douglas Gordon in favor of the Put,
gel Bill? If not why do they not denounce It
Because these people are "Gold Bugs, do
they want the color of our blood currency so
mixed as to make it yellow?
The county press should declare itself upon
this subject, at least, and at once. +. {. w.

Striking Back.

The action of the grain dealers of Frederick
and Carroll counties, who organized in Balti-
more several weeks ago, with A. D. Birely,
of Ladiesburg, Frederick county, chairman,
for the alleged purpose of refusing to ship to
any commission men of Baltimore who deal
directly with the farmers and have them ship
their grain direct to them instead of through
the local dealer, has aroused considerable
opposition among the farmers of Frederick
county.
D. Columbus Kemp, president of the farm
ers institute of Frederick county, says the
officers of that body have given the matter
serious consideration, and will issue call for
resolutions will be offered denouncing the boy
colt which the LEGAL dealers have attempted
to place upon the farmers of the various coun-
ties in the State, and take srch other action
as they may see proper for The protection of
the farmers rights and interests.
