spoke to the young men about the
strength of character and the true moral
Courage person gets from consistent
following of Christ and his teachings.
County Clerk Forwood did a large
business i'll the marriage license depart
ment on Monday. His deputies were
kept busy issuing the formidable looking /
documents, each of which was an event /
of Importance in the lives of the partici- /
pants at least, to say nothing of the large /
circle Of friends and relatives who are !
more or less interested. 1t seems passing /
strange that while the genial clerk and /
his obliging deputies, when they are so |
frequently, by virtue of their official posi-
ton, brought close to Hymen's halter, |
should not themselves become inspired |
with the example of SO many of their /
neighbors and friends and make all posi- /
BILE haste to join the ranks of the happy |
Benedicts.
The Hagerstown Fair opened on
Tuesday and the attendance has been cx- |
cellent. The weather is all that could be /
| desired and the patriotic efforts of the
home people are making this fair one of
the best in the history of agricultural
exhibitions. While Hartford county could
not, as a matter of course, expect the
I same thing, yet our society is now in
good shape to have successful fairs pro-
yided our own people will take the noces-
sary interest. A fair cannot be made in
! a day, nor even a month. and the directors
should start early the coming year and
take such steps as will arouse county in
all that he can to make the exhibition of
1903 a record breaker.
If the coal strike really is settled, and
it looks as if it is the case, it will yet take
considerable time to get coal, as it is
estimated that not more than 5000
tons per week can be mined for some
weeks and all of this would be Immediate
ly shipped to New York Another serious
problem is the transportation. and il is
predicted that it will be impossihle 10 get
enough cars to provide for the sufficient
volume of traffic. Another serious
problem is that during the strike nearly
all OF the mines have been flooded, and it
will require weeks to get them in working
order again. If this be true, with the
present cold weather staring us i'll the
face, it is going to be hard on the house
keepers, and those of us who live in the
country may be thankful that we have a
supply of wood, which can be drawn
upon to relieve our present necessities.
Anthracite coal is now quoted at $50
per ton in New York City, and the dealers
have decided to maintain this price for

ton in Bel Air, for there is not 5000
pounds in all three of the coal yards
