DR. Henry F. Carey. of Baltimore
has recently been making some marvellous
cures of persons who have been afflicted
with impaired vision. In some cases h'
has restored sight where there was tota
| blindness. His treatment is not of {
quack nature and he stands high as &
legitimate physician. Unfortunately fo1
this section of the country, his reputation
has become so widely known that he has
decided to seek larger fields and will
shortly remove his office to Chicago.

The cold wave, which struck this
vicinity on Tuesday night, has set the
residents of our county TO seriously think
ing about their winters fuel supply.
There is practically no coal in Bel Air,
In consequence of the scarcity of an
thrlcite coal, the hardware stores
have been doing rushing business in
the sale of wood stoves and can scarcely
keep supply on hand. 1t looks as if
every one will have to accept wood as a
fuel or else recourse to coal oil as
small towns will stand little show of
getting any of the precious fuel. ever
should the mines open up at once. Of
course, there may be an opportunity
later in the winter, but in the meantime
the people cannot afford to freeze.
MIR. Bernard Courlaender, IT., has
been transferred from the position of
Baltimore District Passenger Agent of
the Pennsylvania Railroad Company to
an important position in the general
offices OF the company in Philadelphia.
He has been succeeded by MIR. Edward
Youngman, of Philadelphia, who was
assistant chief clerk to Mr. George W.
Boyd, Assistant General Passenger gent
of the Pennsylvania system, and is re-
ported to be capable official. The pro-
motion of Mr.. Courlaender is considered
a merited and deserving recognition OF
faithful and efficient services as passenger
agent, which position he has held since
1896. Previous to that time he had been
located at Newark. New Jersey, in the
service of the company. The nature of
his position brought him in contact wit h
the general public and his uniform courl-
esv and strict attention to business was
appreciated by every one with whom he
came i'll contact.

churches on Wednesday evening SO that
visitors will have much to interest them
