singular transaction in real estate recently
took place in the 18th district. Mr. George A.
Ely, of Baltimore bought the farm of about
100 acres near st. Stephens Catholic Church,
belonging to Mr.. George A. Davis and ON
which he now resides, as does also his son,
Mr.. VIM. J. Davis, who has been farming it.
Mr.. Ely paid nearly $4,000 for the farm. Mr..
VIM. J. Davis then came up to this place and
bought the farm of Mr. George Dahler, adjoin-
ing Fork Christian Church, containing so acres,
for SO, 500. Mr.. Dahler expected to have
public sale of stock and farming implements,
but Mr.. Ely then bought the stock and nipple
ments of Mr.. Davis, whereupon he Davis
bought the stock and implements of Mr..

in-law, Mr.. Philip Eek, his farm, stock, &C.,
located about two miles from here. and then
bought the farm he has just sold. He i'm
proved it very much and bought new stock
and implements. He keeps everything in
good condition and has done what believe has
never before been done by anyone in Baltimore
county, viz: Made two clean sweeps of farm
and stock, making good sale both times, and
each time at private SALE Mr.. Dahler reserved
house and one acre of ground where he ex-
poets to live and take things easy. He started
years ago with nothing, working for so cents
a day. thus showing that there is money in
farming, if economically managed. He says
he cleared $500 last year and it was about the
worst year farmers have had, but Mr.. Dahler
looked after the little things. He has sheep,
COWS and chickens and makes everything
count.
Mr.. George M. Halle met with a singular &C.
cident recently. He was attempting to open
glass jar of tomatoes but the top held fast.
He was sitting down and had it on his leg, try
ing to twist off the top, when the jar broke, cut
through his clothing into his flesh, about half
an inch deep and one and a-half inches long.
He had the wound sewed up by DR.. j F. H.
Gorsuch. The ragged glass cut his clothing as
clean as if done with knife. If Mr.. Halle
had thought to have run the point of thin
case knife around between the rubber and jar,
the top would have Immediately become loose.
The Jar IS alrtlg0t ana running the KNIFE
around lets in the air, which loosens the top.
Care must be taken not to bend the edge of
the top, as it will then not be fit for use again.
Mr.. Arthur Clayton, who / reported in
previous letter having rented the Anthony
Lindsay farm from Mr.. James J Lindsay. has
secured the Geddis farm for another year from
the new owners, Messrs. Elmer J. Cook and A.
A. Piper He expects to start milk herd and
ship to the new association in Baltimore,
suppose, as his father is one of its most en-
thusiastic supporters standing by it as all
others should have done who promised to do
so at the beginning.
