Perry Hall, 18th District.-Having seer
nothing in the columns of THE UNION for some
time from this populous section OF the county
/ feel it my pleasant duty to send you some
thing. 1t is true we have rather more qulel
at times than is good for us, but an occasional
family broil wakes matters up, but these are
more to be deprecated than written about ID
the newspapers. Christmas ana New lear
passed quietly with us and 1t was remarked
that the saloons appeared to do much smaller
business than usual. The young folks bad
their dances and other seasonable amusements
find that the people are a good deal absorbed
by the trouble between John Bull and the
Beers and the arrival of the daily papers Is
eagerly awaited for news from far off South
Africa. The sympathies of nine out of every
ten people one meets is with the Beers, and to
many it seems incomprehensible that mere
handful of people should make so much
trouble for the great and powerful old Eng
land The Beers like liberty as well as oui
own people and they are manfully shedding
their blood to obtain it.
A new baker wagon started out from this
place last Monday to supply the people OF the
surrounding country with bread pies, DC. II
went as far as Magnolia, on the P, w. d b.
Railroad and is said to have done rafting
good business. The owner of this outfit is To-
Gated on the Brooks property, near the toll
gate. The baker who, for the past twelve
years. had been coming out here from the city
twice a week, has discontinued his visits, the
home man, apparently, having run him on.
Several changes of residence will soon be
made by some of our people. Mr.. William ID

taken charge of by Mr.. Wallace Richardson.
Mr.. Charles Horn will remove to Baltimore,
having found employment with the B. q O.
Railroad.
Mrs. Henry Walter. of this place, spent two
weeks in Baltimore with her children who are
living there
Mr.. A. Thiell, of White Plains, n. Y, is
visiting Mr.. Henry Walter.
People of oil SHADES OF politics regret that
Mr.. A. A. Blakeney has retired from the Board
of County Commissioners, but general salts
faction is expressed at the appointment of Col.
B. L. Taylor as his successor. Many do not
take kindly to the idea that Col. Taylor may
now lose the place because of the Senate's re-
fusal to confirm him, as hag been reported.
At the meeting of the Germantown Build
ing Association last Monday night the sum of
$500 was disbursed, and applications were re-
ceived for $1,000 more, but they had to be
turned down for the want of funds The as
ISOLATION stands Al and its affairs are managed
by a careful and intelligent directory. HALL.

A few nights ago some person or persons ell

back way by the road that leads from the Jar

who was passing along the road that night saw
lights in the meadow, but surprising it to be
Mr.. Price or some of his hands paid little at

have the guilty ones apprehended M.

in leaving off their heavy wraps. There is no
excuse for any one to 60 without his overcoat,

been compelled to sacrifice his outside coat for
the want of little cash to pay for the Xmas
present that he gave his best girl.

Cronhardt, 9th District.-The farmers of
this neigh borhood, with few exceptions, have
filled their ice-houses with fine quality of ice
from to inches in thickness. Some people
make the mistake OF not having an ice-pond
of their own, and while waiting upon some
one else's pond, miss the opportunity of filling
their houses. 1t is good plan, where one has
water on his farm, to have pond.
