There is decided division among the former

reference to supporting baseball team COM
posed largely of members who are non-resi-
dents. A majority of the members of the
| present organization have withdrawn and or
ganized a Lutherville Country Club, composed
of residents of Lutherville and Sherwood.
Suitable grounds have already been secured
and the new club has about sT5 in its treasury.
We have very creditable new public school
building here, recently erected. but it is not by
any means completed. The Board of School
Commissioners took matters, in their own
hands and have seemingly abandoned what
was intended to be credit to our village and
the county We had hoped to hold our closing
exercises in this new building, but at the pres
ent rate of progress we will be lucky if we
will be able to commence school in it next
fall. Who Is responsible for this delay Ger
tainly not the trustees for they are anxious to
have the new building used. O. q. CAsIoNAL
Necker, 18th District.-From present in
dications the largest army of locusts that has
ever appeared in this country is now showing
up in woods, fields and gardens. In some places
the earth resembles cullender so numerous
are the holes made by the insects in reaching
the surface. / have noticed that even in the
hard roads there are many holes, showing that
nothing can stop the progress OF these curious
things. Farmers are anxious about their
young fruit trees, fearing the harm that may
come to them from the visitation of the locusts.
A new 4 horse bus is now being run between
Perry Hall and what Is known as Klondyke,
the present terminus of the electric railway on
the Belair road. This is the third one to start
in the business and especially on Sunday the
convenience afforded was highly appreciated by
the people Petitions are still in circulation
praying the United Railways Company to ex-
tend its line to Perry Hall. The rapid growth
of the population along the line of this road
is almost marvellous.
The permanent Democratic club that was
organized at this place year or two ago has
been dishanded. There was a lack of interest
and few members attended the meetings, hence
this step. 1t is thought new organization
will be formed under the name of the Farmers
Social Club which will be independent in
politics.

Hebbville, I'd District.-Sunday last was
the feast of Pentecost, known generally as
Whit Sunday It has been kept as Christian
festival from very early times, although origi-
nally the whole period of fifty days after Easter
was termed Pentecost. Irenaeus mentions
that in his day the faithful during this period
were accustomed to pray, standing erect, but
there was no fasting during this term. The
vigil OF Pentecost was one OF two days on
which baptism was conferred, and the Roman
missal still gives the form of blessing the font
on that day. The day was celebrated in all
our churches here with special services
Hebbville Evangelical Sunday school held a
successful picnic on Whit Monday.
There will be meeting held here shortly
with a view to the reorganization ofthe Hebb-
Vile baseball team. Some of our most promi-
nent citizens have interested themselves in
promoting the object.
Evidence against the Beef Trust is said to be
