Hog cholera is prevalent in the vicinity
of Churchville. Messrs. Jacob Livezey
and John H. Maggie have each lost two.
The rest of their herd were afflicted with
| the disease but were cured by Robinson's
, Hog Cholera Mixture. 1t is seldom we
make local notice of anything that may
be deemed an advertisement and this
remedy is only given for the benefit OF
our subscribers should they be so UNI
fortunate as to have the malady break
out amongst their swine.

1t is the intention of the club to make a
vigorous campaign this Fall.
An Unknown crazy man has been visit
ing number of houses i'll the vicinity OF
Wilma for the past few days and frighten-
ing the residents He seems to be per-
fectly harmless and in furnished condi- |
| ton. When offered food, he has refused
to touch it. He was at the residence of
Mr.. George Archer, the Democratic nomi- |
nee for County Commissioner, and acted |
so queerly that Mr.. Archer telephoned to |
the Sheriff to come down and take charge
of him. In the meantime the man went
over to Franklinville and was there ar
rested and taken to Towson. He claims
to be from New York.
The County Commissioners, on Mon
day, awarded the contract for improv-
ing the Bel Air and Churchville road to
Charles A. Hook, Jr.. of Baltimore. They
passed an order to this effect, subject to
the approval of the trustees of the will of
William Woolsey The matter will be
finally ratified at the next meeting ofthe
Board, provided the trustees agree to
the contract, and the work will be COM
menced at once. 1t will have to be conf
pleted before the winter weather sets
in and the contract will probably stipu-
late the first day ofNovember. This will
give the county five and one-half miles of
first-class public road at cost of$3, 900,
as the will provides for the payment of
$4,000 out of Mr.. Woolsey's estate,
when the trustees shall pass upon the
work and accept it.
While some workmen were engaged
recently, in removing pile of old ties on
the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad near
Swan Creek, they discovered a lot of
silverware, which afterwards proved to
be the property of Mr.. E. E. Pearson,
whose house was robbed on the Oath of
March last. The silverware had been
carefully wrapped and on the bottom of
the cake stand was scratched the name of
William Foard who said he thought he
should be rewarded by the owners. There
are a number of old cross ties in that
section and Mr. and Mrs. Pearson are
hopeful of getting back the other pieces
that were stolen at the same time. 1t is
evident that the party, who is now serv-
ing a term in the Penitentiary, and on
whose person was found carving knife
which belonged to Mr.. Pearson, was the
guilty party, but on account of his in
carcaration, had no opportunity to re-
move the hidden plumber.
The recent agitation about the i'm
provement of Main street, Bel Air, has
stirred up the Town Commissioners and
they have promised to take the matter
up at their next regular meeting. We
sincerely hope that they will see their
way clear to make this improvement. 1t
is badly needed and there is no advertise
ment for the town that will prove more
effectual in bringing strangers here to
locate than to have good streets and
sidewalks. The Commissioners have
lately laid some stone tagging both on
Main and Gordon streets which will last
for many years to come. There are some
other pavements in need of repairs, but it
would serve the best interests of the town,
if both improvements could not be made,
on account of the financial condition of
the treasury, to fix up the street and let
the pavements wait a while. The work
can probably be done for less than So 900,
and if the citizens raise one-third the
Commissioners ought to do the rest.
