The larger portion of the inhabitants OF the
upper end of the county will soon have the
opportunity of enjoying the advantages ard
reeretting the defects of the rural delivery
mail service. but as it is impossible for any in
novation to give entire satisfaction to every
body, we must learn to be content with that
which is best for the majority of the COM
munity.
Route No. 1, from Parkton via RayvilIe,
Shamburg, Mt. Carmel, Foreston, Beckleys-
vile, &C., has been served by Mr.. VIM. Still
during the past seven weeks and the people are
beginning to appreciate the advantage of get
ting their mail earlier in the day and nearer to
their houses but there remains one serious
defect and that is the lack of the opportunity
to mail reply to a letter the same day it is
received. For instance, letter requiring an
immediate reply is mailed in Baltimore or
Towson on Monday; it is delivered on the
route on Tuesday; early on Wednesday morn
ing the reply is collected and carried around
the remainder of the route and mailed at
Partition late in the afternoon, reaching its des-
tination on Thursday, which is one day longer
than the time required by the Star route de-
livery, which was in operation from July LIST
to November Both. 1901.
The way to remedy this defect is to have the
carrier go out and return over the same route
delivering as be goes and collecting as he
returns.
Route No. 2 has been laid out from Parkton
via Maryland Line, Gorsuch Mills, Shane and
Stablersville to Parkton, with Mr.. Jacob NJ.
Wilhelm, carrier.
Route No. 3, from Parkton via Rayville
Hoshall's Beckleysville, Eklo Walkers road,
&c, has been gone over by Mr.. Plummer and
will probably be in operation in few weeks.
A fourth route from Parkton to Hereford
and other points has been discussed.
The good old times when we met at the
country store to get the mall swap yarns and
discuss crop prospects and neighborhood hap
penings are passing away, and in the rear flu
ture we will read sermons in the Sunday pa
pers, instead of going to church discard the
country stores and have our dry goods, gro
ceries, &C.. delivered by parcels post from the
great department stores in New York and
Chicago; have our children educated by
means of the various correspondence schools,
and instead of advancing in fellowship and So
liability, we may relapse into the state of the
recluse and hermit
Mr.. George A. Galloway had we'll bored on
his lot in Rayyille a short time ago and it
seems to have been bored through a stratum
of quicksand as it has filled up with sand and
is useless. He is having another bored in a
different place and we wish him better luck
this time
The quarterly conference of Rayville Circuit

The absence of a covering of snow and the

the first bridge coming from the Belair road
the hand-raiing has been off for at least two
months, and the place is very dangerous. not
only to carriages, but to pedestrians, the depth
from the bridge being at least 40 feet. Some
action should be taken to improve the road
also, as it is impossible in some places between
the Belar and Philadelphia roads, Old resi-.
dents say it has been a number of years since
anything has been done to this road, and they
are paying taxes all the time to have their

The Value of Garbage.-The garbage col
lected in Baltimore city is valuable, says the
american. Commissioner of STRENGTHENING
Iglehart says that out of $500 pounds of gar
bage placed in patent 'digester' at Bullock's
factory, on the Washington road, 1850 pounds
of ''tankage'' was extracted, which shows that
the garbage contains 30 per cent: of rich fertil-
izing material. In addition there were 102
pounds of grease Mr.. Iglehart said that he
never knew garbage to make such good
showing. The value of the product of the
garbage collected in Baltimore can be esti-
mated when it is known that during last year
$1,000 loads were gathered by Contractor Rice's
forces Taking the result of the test at Bull
locks as a criterion, it would have yielded
$4,000 tons of 'tankage'' and 720 tons of grease
or OIL "Tankage'' is worth So ton and oil
$40 ton.

Necker, Itch District-The celebration of
the golden Jubilee of st. Joseph's Church,
Putty Hill, last Sunday afforded great pleas
ure to the people of this section At an early
hour in the morning cavalcade of mounted
men might have been seen vending their way
to the railroad terminus to meet Cardinal Glib
bons and escort him to the church, but on ac-
count of a previous engagement the Cardinal
could not attend. Bishop Curtis came instead,
accompanied by Fathers Hidt and Others
The Knights of st. James, AZ in number, in
full uniform, headed by full brass band
made an impressive and spirited sight. AT 10
A. NJ. the procession of children was formed
and marched to the church, where nearly 2, 900
people had assembled. st. James choir rem
dered the vocal music during the mass and
were filled, but the aisles were crowded and
many could not gain entrance to the church.
AT different parts of the service the Knights
went through military movements with their
swords.
Bishop Curtis spoke most eloquently to the
people, congratulating them on the occasion
of the golden jubilee and urging them to faith
fulness and perseverance to the end. A large
class of children and a number of adults were
confirmed by the Bishop, who spoke most
feelingly to them. He was listened to through
out with the closest attention-in fact his
ability to hold the attention of large audi
ence is remarkable.
A great many people from Baltimore and
elsewhere attended these services and the
roads were lined with private vehicles on their
way to the church.
After the mass the band, while the congre-
CATION was dispensing, discoursed several airs
in front of the church. S.

Visited the jail Is very satisfactory TO
the people and highly compllmen tary

clean as Is all parts Of the prison and
the prison furniture, is very satisfactory
to the people OF the county who believe
that every man is entitled to kindness
and the best OF care although he may
be deprived OF his liberty, awaiting

OF unjust kicking has been done against
the Sheriff's methods OF kindness and
care shown the prisoners has had no
effort upon his treatment OF those left
In his charge, He has not only COM
piled With the law but with the de.
manas OF justice aud mercy as well.

The sheriff has provided the prison
ers with games and papers In accord

these means to while away the lone
some hours orconfinement.

neat.
