ABOUT THE GAME LAW.
TowsoN. MD. Februar

TOWsON, Nd, February 5, 1902.
MesSrs. Editors Mr.. r. Grason Georges letter
in your issue of February 1st seems singular
to me, when read his statement in reference
to the game law petition, where he says that
the petition which he signed STATED on its face
that the object of the bill was to open the
for shooting cartridges on October 18th, instead
of November Island nothing more" The head
ing of the petition which he signed is as follows
I'VE tine undersigned endorse the game and dog
law as now before the Legislature. The shooting
season to commence on October 10Th and close
at midnight of December 24th." If he had been
so much astonished as he now asserts, all that
would have been necessary was to have asked
me to show him the copy of the bill. which he
knew / drew up, then it would have saved him
the trouble of rushing into print. l, after hav-
ing shot for forty years all over the United
States, have been able to appreciate the de-
crease in game, and more noticeably here in my
native county how much less it has been get
ting, and after working for over six years to
protect game and after donating five hundred
cartridges for the pleasure of my fellow-sports-
men and have quit shooting, so merely tried to
have laws passed to save game for others to
shoot. among them some who now try to cry the
laws down. We game wardens cannot stop the
law-breakers if the laws are made to suit Mr..
George and three or four others of his way of
thinking.
The season for game must be from one date to
another, without any break if not, have no law,
and instead of prolonging the determination
finish 1t at once, which would be fully accom-
plished if Mr.. Georges kind of law were per-
mitted What has Mr.. George done in Balti-
more county to protect game Has he eyer put
his money in birds and given them to the far
mers to turn out, or has he ever spent years in
the thankless position as game warden, protect
ing game for some to shoot who seem to so little
appreciate our work? regret to see people so
selfish as not to help us in our good work and in
the new game bill which, if passed, they will see
in a few years double the quantity of all game
birds and animals.
/, Messrs Editors, with many other sportsmen,
thank you for your kindness in so often in your
paper upholding our work of love in trying to
save game and song birds from being extermi-
mated. HARRY MALCOLM.

Eklo, 9th District.-Snow fell last week to
the depth of about eight inches and it, was
much needed to protect the sickly looking
grain fields. The snow was much enjoyed by
those who had sleds, sleighs and horses. Sat-
urday evening and night the rain so softeped
up the snow that the sport was spoiled. 1t
continued raining until Sunday afternoon,
when the wind changed to the west and in a
short time we were experiencing hurricane
of about 30 miles an hour, which continued
until Monday evening, with more or less fury
We now have the coolest weather ofthe winter,
with our roads completely covered with ice.
Some of our superstitious people attribute the
sudden change to the grounding and think
he did not make his appearance at high noon
on the I'd.
Would it not be much better for our law
makers at Annapolis to legislate for the ex-
termination of this terrible pest the ground
hog) than to NEEDLE with our present game
law, which they have now SO muddled that it
seems to suit no one.
There are some measures that have been in
troduced in the General Assembly if they be-
come laws, that will not please all the know
ing ones of our Commonwealth, notably the
bill to appoint a commission to look after the
interest of the public schools in order that they
may be taken out of politics and placed upon
a higher plane of usefulness. This would
mean wedding out process with the teachers.
The pensioning of teachers who are in the
service at 60 years of age and have taught %
years has been proposed. This bill only in
cludes those at that age who are ready to be
superannuated. | venture to say that that
kind of lightning. will strike precious few, as
the calling of teaching is so meritorious work
that the Master calls nearly all faithful ones
from labor to reward before they reach the
three score limit of years.
Our people will have free delivery of their
mail matter before long and no doubt some of
them will be much happier than at present.

White Hall, N. c. R. R.-A very pleasant
evening was spent at the residence of Mr.. and
Mrs. Harry M. Foster, on Tuesday of this
week, the occasion being dance, accompanied
by games and general merry making, all of
which was heartily enjoyed by the large COM
pany. Music was furnished by Prof Young's
orchestra, of Baltimore. The dancing con-
tinued until the early hours of the morning,
with intermission for supper. Socially speak
ing the dance was voted brilliant success.
On Friday afternoon of last week Mr.. T. H.
Crommer, teacher of the school here, enter
tanned his pupils with delightful sled-ride
which was greatly enjoyed by all those particle
pating. The route selected was through YER
non, Stablersville, Parkton and Wiseburg and
then back to the school house, distance of
about ten miles. This school is in flourish
ing condition, having now almost reached the
required average for an assistant teacher
Mr.. and Mrs. r. II. Wiley sent out invita-
tions for tea to be given at their residence
near White Hall, Thursday evening of this
week, at $50 o'clock.
A number of milk dealers in and around
White Hall, who were stockholders of the
Milk Producers Association, have been sued
by the banks for notes alleged to have been
given by them and placed in the First National
Bank of Stewartstown, Pa, where they were
discounted.
Mr.. Theodore H. Crommer entertained the
White Hall Social on Thursday evening of last
week, at the residence of Mr.. H. M. Foster

Necker, 18th District.-Holy smoke and
General Jackson When the people awoke
last Sunday morning they saw about nine diff
ferent kinds of weather, all on account of the
grounding. The German people call that
animal the 'dox," and they have made up
their minds to exterminate him if possible.
Lou Wirsing has been cunning for him for
years. and some people sat up late Saturday
night greasing their steel traps and putting in
a double-deck cartridge for his excellency.
But pshaw, none of them got crack at him,
although the school children at Putty Hill de-
clare they saw him. He had icicles hanging
to his whiskers and presented, according to
their story decidedly winterish appearance.
MIR. Walter r. Townsend, well known
member of the bar, some time ago presented
10 acres of land to the congregation of st.
Joseph's Catholic Church and it is upon this
ground that the handsome church, school build
ing and cemetery are located.
Mr.. Edward C. -Necker is suffering with
sprained wrist the result of fall on the ice
Sleighs of all descriptions have been gliding
about this week and the merry jingle of the
bells has livened things up somewhat.
Some beautiful ice inches thick was cut
here this week Mr.. E. @. Necker employed
a strong force in filling two large ice-houses
Mr.. Joseph P. Necker has secured regular
employment as engineer in the power house
at Owings' Mills and has removed to that

Monkton, 10th District.-On Tuesday
night, January 28th the handsome residence
formerly owned by Mr.. ]. w. Shepperd, stu
ated in the 10th district, near Corbett, took
fire from some unknown cause and was burn
ed to the ground. Mr.. Harry Stansbury, son
of Mr.. Thos. Stansbury, who lives near Sweet
Air, had purcheded the property from Mr..
Shepperd with the intention of opening it as a
summer boarding house. He had determined
to move into it about March LIST. The house
contained 16 rooms and was we'll built. Mr..
Stansbury had moved lot of furniture into
the house and this being uninsured is total
loss to him. The insurance on the house was
81 500 in the Hartford County Company. Mr..
Stansbury will rebuild at once.
The regular Monkton letter has been missed
from the columns of The UNION for some
time, due to the fact that your correspondent
has been in i'll health at the home of his son,
Mr.. Edward Heisse, in Baltimore, since the
beginning of the Christmas holidays. Justice
Heisse, who is much respected here, is greatly
missed by his friends, who hope soon to see
him restored to health.
Mr. James A. Shepperd, we'll known citi-
zen of Monkton, has been quite feeble for some
time, but is now improving. His daughter,
Mrs Maggie Darbie, has been here visiting him.
Mr.. F. G. Hemp, a farmer of this neighbor-
hood. who was stricken with paralysis some
time ago, is improving. DR.. t. Ross Payne is
attending him.
The American Farm Company, which pur-
chased some ground at Corbett from Mr.. Harry
B. Alder will establish business there that
will be of great benefit to this community.
The company proposes to handle everything
that farmer produces and furnish everything
that he needs on the farm. Mr. Clinton e.
Matthews will be the manager for the COM
pany here, its main headquarters being located
in Chicago.
The prospect for this years wheat crop is
rather bad. Some farmers who examined the
roots of the growing wheat before the snow
fell say that they are frozen out This snow
will be of some benefit, but farmers are look
ing for 81 wheat this year because of short
age in the crop.
The ground hog surely saw his shadow on
the I'd instant, there having been little sun
shine during the day According to the belief
of those who pin their faith to his hogship's
forecast we have, from that day, six weeks of
rough weather before US. s.
