arged sheir Towson office in order to provide
additional room for their retail trade in hard
ware, paints, &c. The business of this COM
pany, both at Lutherville and Towson, has
grown rapidly in the past two or three years.
- Mr.. William r. Hoff. of Sherwood, n.
! C. r. R., has a very fine breed of English set
4 tiers. some of which have lately been sold at
/ prices that would make the non-dog fancier
\ open his eyes. He also proposes to add to his
kennels the finest strains of pointers and

business of nearly every kind has been slack

/ business.

bill in the Circuit Court at Belair for divorce
Baltimore county. The bill says they were
married in October, 1898. and that she deserted

- II looks like the County Commissioners
were going to have no little trouble in the set
Element of the water-plug question. The COM
panies say they will not accept less than s25
per year for the use of each plug. and the Com
missioneTs say they will not pay more than
$15. And so the matter remains at present.
- 1t has been taken as rather poor indica-
ton of the extension of the electric line on the
Belair road that the company is now engaged
in putting strong ratings along the dangerous
places on the road in order to prevent acct
dents. 1t is reasoned that if the road is to be
built further out this work would not now be
done.
- There is some talk of increasing the
number of days of the sittings of the County
Commissioners from two to three a week.
1t has been suggested that if this be done and
the pay of the members of the Board CORES
pondingly increased, that payment of mile
age should be discontinued. Doubtless the
Commissioners would accede to this PROPOSE
ton.
- And now the Water Registrar of Balti-
more city has notified the County Commits
sioners that on and after February LIST, 1900,
the city proposes to charge $50 per year for
each water plug used by the county. This is
worse and more of it, And the Registrar says
that unless this demand is acceded to the water
will be cut off. The present charge is S25 for
each plug.
- Messrs. John H. Richardson, A. F. Hart
man and William Leyshon the three 18th dis
trict justices of the peace who were turned
down by the Senate, appeared before the Coun-
ty Commissioners on Tuesday and made de-
Tense of their official acts. They claimed that
they had done nothing illegal and that there
had been no collision to collect improper fees
from the county.

taken by the Board.

who spends his summers in Hartford at his
home near Taylor, has sold to Washington
dealers part of his fat CATTLE which averaged
!, 400 pounds, at nearly six cents pound.
The cattle were in prime condition and brought
the top of the market. Mr.. Howard is an ex-
tensive cattle raiser and his cattle bring good
prices. -Hdrford Democrat.
81 Late rains have had the usual effect upon
the public roads of this county and already the
annual complaints are beginning to be heard.
When the weather remains good our roads are
all right, but little freezing and thawing and
some rain is too much for them. A gentleman
who lately Travelled in forty-eight counties in
New York State says he did not see anywhere
as miserable roads as he struck in certain
district in this county.
"a young lady living not far from Tow
son wore beautiful bird in her hat. Last
Sunday night, when she returned from church,
she placed the hat on chair in the hall until
she was ready to retire. When she went to
get it an hour or so later the sight that met her
oras mas
and what it did to that bird was plenty"
Moral Don't wear birds in your hats
1.-Two men have been in Towson lately
following the gang who have been stringing
the copper wires on the new poles of the Postal
Telegraph and Cable Company. They pick up
the smallest clippings from the new wires and
no doubt make living selling them for old
copper. All the longer pieces that are cut off
are taken care of by those who are putting up
the line, but these men take no account of the
smaller bits, the securing of which furnishes
an occupation for the two.
