Worthington Valley, 4th District.-This
section of the county was severely affected by
the rain and sleet storm of the latter part of
last week. The Oldest resident here does not
remember storm of its severity. Forest trees
suffered much, but the greatest damage was to
fruit and ornamental trees. Many of the roads
were impossible from fallen limbs.
We now have two rural free delivery routes
through this section. Mr.. Penn is the carrier
from Glyndon and Mr.. Fox from Owings' Mills.
They did not let the late storm interfere with
their deliveries. Mr. Penn had an extra man
with him and, with the aid of axes, they soon
had the distractions out of the way. Mr.. Fox
also had extra men with him and a relay of
horses They deserve much credit for the
pluck and energy displayed by them.
The feeding of steers has become leading
business among farmers of this section and
them may be mentioned Messrs. Friedenwald,
Zouck and Fuss. Some of the cattle will soon
be ready for market and they are fine.
Mr.. Peter o. Firor, who comes from Carroll
county, is farming the Snow Hill estate of Mr..
John G. Bosley, in this valley.
Mr.. Charles A. Councilman is about leasing
his limestone quarry and kilns to Mr.. Levi
Bosley, who intends to engage extensively in
the production of lime.
Mr.. Caples, of Cockeysville, has bought the
balance of the Dover farm He will improve
it and make it model farm.
public sales we must conclude that the times
are getting much better. Fresh cows have sold
as high as $780, corn SO go and So 20 per bar
rel, and potatoes so and 80 cents per bushel
The outlook for the growing wheat and rye
before the late snow was very bad, but hopes
are entertained that they will now do better.
Mr.. Jacob d. Gest has purchased part of the
Dover estate from Mr.. Joshua f. Cockey. 1t
is most in timber and he proposes to cut off
the wood and sell it. V. OBSERVER.
Perry Hail. 18th District.-This section
of the county did not escape the injury
wrought by the sleet storm of last week, but
the greatest damage was done to the telephone
line. The wires and good many poles were
borne to the ground and the use of the lines
was greatly interfered with, causing no little
inconvenience.
Hon. A. A. Blakeney, member of Congress
from this county, this week sent many pack
ages of seeds to people in this section and they
were much appreciated by the recipients.
This neighborhood has been blessed with
good health the present winter and the visits
of the physicians have been few and far be-
tween.
1t is said the proprietor of Perry Hall Hotel
has inaugurated new scheme to make bust
ness for his house. 1t remains to be seen how
the plan will pan out. H. H.
