->Small places ranging from 10 to Is acres,

People who can't talk politics with
out getting excited and angry and making
human windmills of themselves by churning
the air with their arms, had better talk about
something else. The weather is a much more
soothing subject and adjectives of a more or less
forcible nature are then entirely unnecessary.
1.-The beautiful farm known as mont
i
tains about 600 acres of land and has on it
fully 10000 fruit trees of all varieties. Several
thousand bushels of peaches were raised this
wear. hundreds of bushels of which went to
waste. Miss Mackln, of Baltimore, owns the
farm.
Prohibition friends are also running Presi-
Dental ticket this year. What they are doing
II for is not quite plain, but it makes little
fun for them and don't hurt anybody. When
it is all over Mr.. Bryan and Mr.. Woolley will
exchange condolences and that'll make it all
right.

Lady's Manor, will, on election day, provide a

Voters who are tout for the cash"-and
we are sorry to have to admit that there are
many of them and of both colors-are now cir
culating around waiting for a chance to
pinch" somebody. 1t is said of these fellows
that they take money from both sides and
then vote as they please afterwards. AS an
object lesson it would be good thing if few
of them could be landed in the penitentiary.
Very little money is being put up here
on the result of the Presidential election
Where odds have been offered they have inva
riably been on Mckinley, with very few
takers. Betting on elections proves nothing
and it should be avoided There are still lef
some of those cheerful idiots who make wheel
barrow, Grape on the arm, and some such
wagers, but even they appear to be fewer thar
usual.
- When the cunning season opens IN TINS
county next week people will experience the
same trouble as heretofore with men prowline
over their premises with guns in their hands
