Historic New York.

Recently | gave the readers of the
DEMOCRATIC ADVOCATE some incidents
of my trip to New York in 1889 | am
a humber citizen now than at that time,
and yet it may be that the great changes
in the general aspect of things and espec-
tally in the mode of travel, might lend
certain interest to another trip to that
throbbing heart of American life in the
end of 1898
Though like Phra the Phenician in
that l change the scenes and conditions of
my avatars, | am unlike him in changing
also from one extreme to the other in the
importance of my station in life.
Instead, then, of starting from Mount
Vernon, as [ did in 1889, amidst honors
showered upon me from all quarters of
grateful country, [ started this time from
the charming city Of Westminster, which,
however, was utterly oblivious to me and
the journey which was SO full of interest
for me- You know that | was not going
to be inaugurated president, for since John
Adams, who succeeded me in 1897, no
president has been inaugurated in New
York. Some of my readers will stop short

For the Democratic Advocate.
To the Teachers of Carroll County


In partnership we understand
Two brothers bought piece of land;
200 acres when surveyed,
And each s400 paid
One end being richer than the other
The elder said to younger brother
'I'l take the end that's not so poor,
And pay half dollar more
Per acre, if you will agree
That that end may belong to me -
Il will. if you'll the land divide
Said he-.'I will And at it went;
But after he some days had spent,
And found it had his soul perplexed
He called on his surveyor next
Who labored hard but could not quite.
Make land and money come cut right
Then threw it down in grief and pain,
Declaring he d ne er try again.
Since that this sum has travelled round,
To see if any could be found,
Who could divide this piece of land,
So that each brother understand,
How much each one would have to pay
Per acre in his own survey.
Now reader as its come to You
Take hold. and show what YOU can do.
This problem has excited great deal o
interest among the teachers Of Howar,
county. 1t was submitted to them through
the columns of the .Ellicott City Times
by Mr.. W. J. Robinson, clerk to th'
county commissioners. Several solution

In Spain the advent of Easter brings
out masquer who calls himself Easter

of the parsonage he was addressing, ali
Easter King once babe Emperor Charles
V. to do him homage by uncovenng his
head. The Emperor complied with sigh,
and addressing the paschal dignitary said

THE EASTER BRIDE.


Easter anthems, Easter flowers,
All the joys of Eastertide-
But the sweetest thing it bringeth
Is the bluShing Easter bride.
White and slender Easter lilies,
Standing tall in pure array
How the CLINT of bridal satin
Steals your glory half away!
Easter bells are hardly silent
Ere begins the wedding peal;
Easter buds still deck the altar
Where the Easter bride viii kneel.
Fashions fads and fashions follies
Reign anew at Eastertide;
After Lenten prayers and SacEcioth,
Shines serene the Easter pride.

But to know when Casters come
Puzzles even scholars-some.
When March the twenty-first is past,

And when you see it full and round.
Know Easter'Il be here soon.
After the moon has reached its full
Then Easter will be here
The very Sunday after,

The moon should reach its height,

SOME GOOD ADVICE.

Back in Illinois the farmer
thinks he is lucky when he aver
ages SIS an acre for his corn crop.
Sometimes his crop is a failure
and he realizes next to nothing.
What would the Arkansas Valley
farmer think OF realizing that
amount per acre for his crops'
Does he fully appreciate the con-
ditions and opportunities that are
his as compared to those Of his
brother in the efiete east.
Farmers in the Arkansas Valley
can realize $50 per acre for the
Land they put into tomatoes, and
fully as much from other crops. a
writer in the Holly Chicitain last
week gives some sensible advice
in regard to farming in the Arkan-
sas Valley. He says;
Better raise one acre and make
money than twenty acres and lose.
The only difficulty to overcome is
the curbing Of our ambition.
Don't spread over too much ground.
Judiouslly irrigated. cultivated and
handled, FIVE acres cultivated to
such crops as onions, celery and
cantaloupes here, will make as
much as forty acres in the east. |
raised 500 bushels OF onions from
an acre, and have also raised but
seventy-five. The seventy-hve
cost as much as the 500. The con
tinual planting OF any one crop
will ruin the land.
II watched the cantaloupes
come into market in the east last
year and they nearly all had soft
spots, the result of careless hand
ling This can be obviated by us
ing baskets in gathering and a
greater amount OF care in packing.
II we take pains and plant cau.i-
flower, cabbage and onions on
space set aside for that purpose,
planting just what we can take
care of, then we are sure to sue
coed "

THE SCHOOL ERECTION.

The school election takes place
next Monday at the Columbian
high school building. The polls
will be open from to S p. M, and
every citizen who believes in a
progressive and efficient admins
tration of our school affairs should
turn out and vote for r. w. Pat
terson. He is familiar with all the
details of school affairs in District
No. II, and made one of the best
officials this district ever had. For
the next few years ii is absolutely
necessary that the business affairs
OF this district should be placed in
experienced and capable hands.
There will have to be new school
houses erected and many improve
ments made to provide for the ac-
commodation of our rapidly IN
creasing school population. The
present is hardly the proper time
for experimenting with new fan
gled educational methods. Mr..
Patterson has both the educa
tional and business qualifications
necessary for the position and we
hope to see him elected by large
and decisive vote.

the cause of silver one iota by en-

Are they not now willing to admit
that fusion is an unholy alliance

NEW SCHOOL LAW.

The house bill providing for the
organization of county high schools
in counties of the fourth and fifth
class has been signed by the gov

amendment to the bill makes its
provisions applicable to high
schools already organized. This
feature OF the bill will be especially
appreciated by the taxpayers Of
school district No. II, as it brings
our local union high school under
the provisions OF the law and
makes it an educational institution
which will be entitled to the finan-
cial support Of the entire county.
The board of directors of the
high school will be composed Of
five members, consisting Of the
county superintendent and four
members to be elected by con-
yention OF all the school directors
