Worthington Valley. 4th District.-Tht
unusually late fall and fine weather that ha:
prevailed has given the farmers ample time tC
do much of their blowing for spring sowing
and planting. Notwithstanding the gooo
weather some farmers still have corn standing
in the fields unhusked.
Mr.. NJ. Frieden valid, of White Hall Manor
has lately imported a lot of fine ponies and will
devote some of his spare time during the win
ter in breaking them and getting them in shape
for sale next spring.
Much satisfaction is expressed that the work
of grading the extension of Park Heights
avenue into this valley is now in progress, in
charge of Roads Engineer Crosby. We are all
anxious for its early completion, but we dc
not expect to do any sleighing on it this win
ter. There are some narrow minded people
who still talk and write against this much de-
sired road, but no matter what public enter
prise is started there appears to be a few in
every community who will rise up and try to
impede its progress.
Mr.. A. w. Fuss, one of the energetic
farmers of this valley, has again secured fine
lot of steers for winter fattening. He was very
successful with those fed last winter and had
Almost comfortable margin of profit at the time
of selling.
Another movement is now on foot to open a
public road to extend from Mr. Woolston s
property and the Ridge school house through
the lands of Messrs. BaubIitz, Harris, Carney,
Bosley and others to Park Heights avenue ex-
tended. and from thence to Gwynnbrook ave-
nue., which leads to the Western Maryland r.
r. and Reisterstown turnpike.
The sad and sudden death of Mrs. Ellen
Harris the highly esteemed wife of Mr.. Jacob
Harris, of Chestnut Ridge is deeply deplored
by many friends. She was about "a years of
age and, besides her husband, is survived by
five children, the eldest about II and youngest
3 years. The funeral took place at Black
Rock Baptist Church, Rev. G. T. Weede, Of
Hereford Circuit, conducting the services. 1t
was one of the saddest funerals ever seen at
that church and those present were deeply
moved Messrs. Bruehl and Fowble sang

and Nearer, My God, to Thee Mrs. Harris
was well on Sunday evening and entertained a
few friends. She died the following Wednes
day. V. OBSERVER.

from cunning expedition to Virginia. near
the North Carolina line. Mr.. @. M. Pearce
says game is plentiful but very difficult to get
q shot at on account of so much thick under
brush. They had delightful trip, though
their visit was cut short by wet weather.

birds, 80 rabbits and one wild turkey. When
they got back they entertained their friends at
a game supper.
The "Evangeline tea" held by the teachers
and pupils of Monkton public school few
evenings ago was somewhat interfered with by
the inclement weather, but when it did take
place it proved a successful affair, the attend

recitations, tableaux taken from Evangeline,
etc. Refreshments were sold. The proceeds
will be applied to the school library and deco
rating the schoolroom.
Thanksgiving passed very quietly in this
section. Many spent the day cunning, but
game is scarce and little was killed. s.
