- notwithstanding the fact that the coal
strike ended nearly two weeks ago very little
hard coal has made its appearance in Towson.
Wood is still in good demand and, as the
weather has been moderate, coal oil stoves have
answered very well for heating purposes.
Trespass notices, printed on muslin,

there are now more farms posted" in this
county than ever before and the prowling gun

THE fall running meeting at Pimlico
will begin next Tuesday--election day-and
continue on Thursday and Saturday. The en-
try list is large and some of the best horses in
the country are included in it, If the fatal
Pimlico weather does not get in, the game the
meeting promises to be great success.
THE idea prevails pretty generally that
there will be big stay -at-home vote in Balti-
more county next Tuesday, because, it is as
serted, thisYis an ''off year. and people are
taking little interest in politics. Should the
vote fall off heavily there is no telling which
party will be the most affected thereby. +.

town Neighborl1ood improvement Club will

conditions, a few days ago finished seeding $50
acres of wheat. The earliest sown is up and
showing well. This year Mr.. Ridgely has less

Those who have lately had the pleasure
of seeing the greenhouses at "Meadowbrook, +"
the country place of Mr.. Harry A. Parr, near
Sherwood, highly compliment Mr.. w. Paul
Binder, the gardener, upon his splendid array
of chrysanthemums, all of his own produc-

duced more standard varieties of this flower

laughed he wanted to know what in the name
of jimminy crimmins was the matter with
him. When you come up with man who
knows Just a little too much it's bad.
