In Memoriam.

Died, in Gaithersburg, Friday morning,
February 9th, 1900, little Joseph Clayton,
infant son of N. Il. and Teresa Selby, aged
8 months and 81 days.
IL IS with sad and painful hearts that we
attempt TO chronicle the death Of our darling
je wei which God gave 70 Us for such short
ii me, Just long enough Tor that love and affec'
ton which parents only feel TO be stamped
upon our hearts that time wilFnever be able
10 erase. With parental care and untiring
watchfulness we stood by his little couch
and ministered To him, but in spite Of all our
tender care, and skill of the physician, we
could not keep him with Us.
Early In the morning, just as the dark
ness was about 10 change into sunlight, God
sent the messenger Of death and changed
our home Of sunshine into one OF sadness
aud gloom. But In the hours OF our sad
ness we do not Judge God foolishly, know
ing he is too good 10 be unkind and too wise
TO err, and He doth not willingly afiiict nor
gr:eve the children Of men. Although lie
has taken our darling babe from our bosoms,
may we bow and bend to His will, and al
ways remember that while we live In
world of toll and suffering we have bright
and precious Jewel that shines around Gods
throne above, and as the star Of Bethlehem
that guided the wise men 10 the Saviour,
oh may our jewel that shines to-day In
Heaven be the means of guiding us closer
70 God, 80 that as He sees tit TO call US one.
by one, We may all be reunited In the fam
lily of God, where death can never separate
US.
A precious jewel To us was given,
SO soon TO fade and die,
To dwell not here but ia Heaven,
That bissiul home on high.
Good bye, darling little man,
My precious little boy,
May we all meet 10 the better land,
Where ell is peace and love and Joy
BY his Parents.

The twenty.seventh annual Farmers Con-
Vention assembled at Sandy Spring on Tues
day morning last at 10 O'Clock and was we'll
attended Notwithstanding the bad condition
of the roads.
William W. Moore, chairman of a com
mittee appointed at the last meeting, re-
ported that 1t had been unable to secure
Waterman at Rockville crossing, owing to
inability to secure CO. cooperation of the Coun.
Gil of Rockville.
The questions discussed were "Under
what system can our county give us free
roads ?" and with what varieties OF grasses
can our pastures and moving lands be i'm
provedP"
The first question was the one chiefly
discussed. William E. Mannakee, of Burnt
Mills, was the chief speaker. He made the
following proposition, which was indeh'
nitely discussed by the meeting; THAT the
county take the present turnpikes and make
them free roads pay the stockholders per
cent on their stock and keep the roads In
repair until the present Court House bonds
are paid, then to buy the turnpike stock at
so per cent of Its par value, the First, Fifth
and Thirteenth districts to pay three fifths
of the necessary tax, the balance of the
county the remaining two.fifths." A vote
showed only one. third in favor.
A paper was read on the second question
by Albert G. Palmer.
A proposition was submitted from Direc-
tor Amoss petitioning the Legislature for
$4,000 for the use OF the Farmers Institute.
The convention Endorsed the proposition
and ordered copy to be sent to the Gov.
ernor and to each of the county Delegates
A proposition of President Miller was
adopted by the convention, as follows: That
a committee of three be appointed to meet
and confer with committees of the clubs,
three in number,) and organize an extra
convention to form a permanent organiza-
ton. White Oak Farmers Club was rep
