cIes and Agricultural Implements.
The strong cry has been ever for the
newer aud better until today it would
seem as if perfection had been reached in
the line of agricultural implements chief
among them THE Champion Mower and
Binder, cast upon the harvest fields by
this energetic firm, whose business at West
Minister dates from April of the present
ycIr. When one sees their famous
g Champion harvester at work-cutting,
binding and punching the sheaves in rows,
! lis safe to say that the Messrs. Lockard' S
harvesters and mowers are among the best
in existence, equinped as they are, with
ball and roller be- sings, which finishes
their perfection and makes them sell in
both hemispheres.
At this progressive establishment, Lib
erty street, you win find much to consider
WELL if at all interested III its special
ties, Here, for instance, are the famed
Mitchell and Lewis Wagons; the cele-
brated "Studebaker; as well as the
"Milburn, the 'Birdsell'7 and the old
Hickory wagons-in which that sterl-
ing Democrat himself, Andrew jackson,
would not hesitate to ride, were he still in
the flesh. And then their complement
of drills, plows, rakes, binders, ETC., charm
the eye of the enthusiastic and wide-awake
farmer. Among this variety of interest
ing objects, may be specified the "Oliver
Chilled Plow, and the Syracuse Bridge
Drill; likewise all the ''cultivators to be
found for sale elsewhere, of any use to
tillers of the soil <.

EPHRAIM HAINES.

Since time immemorial it has been GUS
tomary for lovers of free institutions to
elevate from spheres of activity and use
fulness to the pinnacle Of power, men of
honorable deeds and lofty virtues; nor does
the world S history lack Of. instances where
the recipients of such proofs of esteem
have richly deserved them. 1t is certain
ly no reflection upon the shining worth Of
others to remark, that among Maryland s
sons few, if any, enjoy wider degree of
respect in this community than the subject
of this sketch.
A native of Carroll county, born at
Union Bridge and trained in the path of
industry, Ephraim Haines has made his
mark among his fellowmen; not so much
through that so-called quality of ''good
luck" which, it seems, follows some NOR
tails from childhood to senility; but through
his inherent ability, coupled with keen
sense of probity in all his actions and aims
A successful farmer and dairyman, ship
ping produce and milk to the Monumental
City; a cattle-dealer for more than twenty
years, whose sales In the Eastern markets
have been quite remunerative, he was
summoned, as it were, like "the Roman
farmer Cincinnatus' from the fields which
he titled to post Of trust and dignity
having been elected Sheriff of Carroll
county his native heath, in 1897; and
carried his district, which had formerly
yielded Republican majorities. Mr.. Haines
is Jeffersonian Democrat, and it speaks
we'll of his popularity when he carried his
election I'M face of hitter opposition- by
majority of Seven, overcoming Repub-
lican majority of eighty five in his district
and carrying the county by margin OF
1876 votes.
His residence at Medford presents a
scene of luxuriant beauty and fertility
thanks to his earnest efforts in the agri-
cultural line.

French gentleman man of culture and
acknowledged linguistic ability retail in
his most savorsome vein the humorous
details of an embarrassing situation in
which he had lately found himself. His
English remained faultless up to the
point in the recital at which, the climax
being reached, he found himself unfortu-
5nately compromised. And zen,' he con-

with anger and embarra ssment, the gem

elderly lady undertook to say that there
must be some error in his speech, though
she could not supply him a correction.
