Messrs John Root q Bon are now con-
tracing for corn and tomatoes for the Pen.
mar Cannery. Our farmers do not stand by
this industry % they should; We are informed
that the nrm has difficulty In securing the
desired acreage. We are assured that at the
prices paid, both corn and tomatoes yield
double the revenue per acre that any Of the
regular farm crops do and We arc at loss
to understand why there should be any DIFF
hculty in securing all they want.

A case was heard before Justice White on
March 30, In which the decision will affect
great many persons IN this county. 1t was
a test suit brought by the Baltimore and
Frederick Turnpike Company to compel Mr..
John Hamilton to pay toll Of % cents
incurred whilst the latter was On his way
and returning from the funeral of relative
st Mt. Carmel Church some time last year.
Mr.. Hamilton Refused TO pay, and several
times the bill was sent. After hearing tho
evidence, Justice White decided that toll
cannot be collected from persons either going
to or coming from funeral. An act OF tho
general assembly of 1885, makes it . misde-
meanor for any turnpike company to 90
collect, and it was on this authority that tho
decision was given.
TowN ELEcTlox.-At the. election for
burgess and town commissioners on Monday
last, more interest was shown and . larger
vote polled than for number Of years. Tho
convention named two for burgess and eight
for commissioners, from whom one for bur.
CESS and four commissioners were chosen
and the plan at least resulted In an increased
interest. We were called upon to print
about four times as many ballots as were
cast and until the polls were closed the
workers were busy.
We append the result:
For President of the Board.
J. Wesley Creeger %
J. Harry Covet ID
For Commissioners.
