O'Clock this evening. Mr.. Brownell had
an ugly wound in the lower part of his

may have met with foul play, while others
think that his team ran away with him.

Baltimore, Washington and Annapolis
Electric Railroad contractors are at work,
ed men have camp.
After the examination by DR.. N. A.
Ryon, the justice of the peace had the

Items from Laurel.

One of our new industries is the fine
steam grist mill recently started by the
Schooiey Milling Company, situated right
in the center of the town. The whir OF its
busy wheels can be heard from morn till

manufactured, Laurcl's Belle being one
of the most popular.
Conn's Department Store, on the corner
of Main street and Washington avenue,

takes the character of Garrick and Mr..
Robert Williams that Of 1ngot. They
will be assisted by pupils of the High
School. The play has been carefully pre-
pared. 1t is mirth- provoking and attrac-
tive and should be literally patronized as
it is for the benefit of the school
The question of fuel still agitates the
minds of our people. We have been able
to procure soft coal and the splint coal
from Virginia in small quantities. 1t is,
however, far from satisfactory owing to
the smoke and disagreeable odor which is
emitted by it. Laurel is surrounded by
forests primeval," we have not only 1.-THE
murmuring pines and the hemlocks,' but
plenty of good oak and hickory wood.
The farmers and wood choppers, however,
do not seem to be aroused to the exigen-
cies of the situation, for the market is
poorly supplied, causing both anxiety and
discomfort to all. E. c. c.
