IL, which is a mistake. We had meeting of some

opposed to it, and through tactics" STAYED of
the resolution offered, THAT it was inexpedient
to urge the act of incorporation at this time"
Progressive Catonsville' has come up under

largely increased and fully three-fourths of our
people are opposed to any change at the present
time, and think the next meeting (Friday, Feb

Somewhere, :" 9th District.-Tbe Mace.

Somewhere" 9th District.-The Mace
donian cry from far Loeb Raven for an inspec-
ton of the roads in that locality by "Old
lobe" has been heard. But, Messrs. Editors,
has your correspondent any idea of the fearful
consequences of a possible meeting between
'Old lobe" and a road supervisor wbo per-
haps, may not have done his full duty to the
people who are paying him to keep their roads
in order?
''Tobe," one of the gentlest of his tribe, has
for years been straining and putting and blow
ing through some of the worst roads in this
county and now that he has seen what the
small amount of money can do, when applied
in scientific way, the pent up wrath of years
of needless labor is breaking forth and woe,
woe, unto the road official who has been re-
sponsible for this state of affairs when "Tobe"
meets him.
"Tobe'' has been muttering for years and
the writer had felt that it would be we'll worth
while to master the mule language, but it is a
difficult study and it is only recently that
enough has been learned to get an inkling of
what mules think of us.
The good people of this county will no doubt
be astonished, and perhaps shocked, to know
that ''Tobe" thinks we are set of good, all
around FOOLS That is the plain English of it
without the cuss words.
1.-The idea," cold lobe" was going on to
his next stall neighbors, when Farmer Boy"
first got on to the language,) 1.-The idea of these
Baltimore county men, with just the loveliest
women IN the world, putting up with such
mule-killing, wagon smashing, nervedestroy
ing, roads when it could all be changed by
dropping the miserable politics for a season,
getting together on one common platform and
demanding that something be done for the
millions that have been raised by taxation and
squandered by loose administrative methods
Can anyone blame Farmer Boy" after over
hearing such an expression of mule sense, if,
hanging his head in shame, he silently stole
away2
For a long while no more expressions of
opinion from "Old Tobe were listened to;
the shock was too much for even the hardened
nerve of boy who worked on the farm and
most of my readers know the sort of nerve he
has This is no reflection on him-not for the
world-for next to mule, the finest thing on
the farm is boy If you have one and he is
good-and most of them are-make it pleasant
for him; take An interest in him and show
him how much you appreciate the fact of your
having him. And don't work him all the
time. That's great point for boy on the
farm. A little vacation every now and then
will result in many boy remaining where he
is so necessary, instead of going off into cities
to help swell the numbers who are looking for
jobs.
Jobs remind me that there's whole lot of
eggs to be gathered and this writing has got to
stop. FARMER Boy.

Want an Old Agreement Construed
Mr. Thomas R. Clendinen, attorney for MIR.

city court against Maria L.Carter, Mary f. Wat

on June 20, 1851, concerning the lease by
Myers to Shipley of about Al acres of land To-
Gated at Caverton, now within the city limits.

unite with him in any lease which might be
made so that every lessee should only be re-
sponsible for his own rent, provided that
the leases should not yield less than $500 per
acre, and to which end Myers bound his as
signs. etc. Shipley was to have the privilege
of sub-leasing, and this agreement, it is stated,
has been recognized for so years and IS sub
leases have been made, in all Of which Myers,
who is now dead, joined, and the defendants,
who now own the ground as purchasers of
the reversion, have united in two subleases.
Shipley has now agreed to sub-lease to the
trustees of the Methodist Episcopal Church,
Fayette Street Station, lot of ground within
the original tract to the extent of II $40 acres,
for $3.50 40 per acre, and has requested the re-
spondents to unite in the suitcase which they
decline to do unless the terms are not less than
$500 per acre per annum, which would make
more than So, 300 (for the whole tract). an i'm
possible sum, as the defendants claim they can
redeem for $4,000, and the reversion was sold
at MYERS death for 50, 500.
