- What might be properly called a "soft
| thing" is cultivating corn when the ground is
very wet and gentle rain falling at the same
time. But this is what we saw near Towson a
few days ago. And the man sitting on the
cultivator appeared to be utterly oblvious of
the fact that it was raining.
IA dispatch from New York or Wednes-
day night says that Arthur P. Baer, of Bati-
more, attempted to commit suicide that day in
boarding house by cutting his wrist with a
razor. Nervous prostration, brought on by
overwork, is said to have been the cause. Mr..
Baer is well known in Towson.
"A movement is on foot to erect new
church, to cost about Sc, 900, to take the place
of the present Hunts NJ. E. Church, near
Sherwood, which has become too small for the
rapidly growing congregation. A parsonage
on the church grounds is also contemplated.
Rev. w. w. Costin is pastor of Hunts Circuit
- On Tuesday Mr.. n Bosley Merryman,
Clerk of the Circuit Court. paid to the County
Commissioners the sum of SAG, 445, being the
amount of the receipts of his Office for liquor
licenses. The same day he sent to the Comp

MIR William E. Shargreen, of Govans-
town, was killed in railroad accident at
Greensboro, N. c., on Wednesday. He was 81
years old, a native of Reckord, Baltimore coun-
ty, and travelling salesman for Baltimore
house. Deceased married Miss Blanche Chand-

1.-The dog population of Towson appears
to be growing more rapidly than the human.
It is not an uncommon thing for families to
keep from two to four CANNES on their prem
ises. Surely their comfort and happiness do
NOT rpnniro this horr and the and
quiet of the town would be much improved by
lessening it.

Major THOMAS B. Catch presdent a g,dd' MI
John 5. Biddison, secretary. Mr.. ]. Hartman
Schone is the other member. The trustees
want the School Board to make several much
needed Improvements to the school building
and grounds.
Two men were skylarking in Towson
last Saturday night when one of them is alleged
to have lost S38 in money. The cash has not
yet turned up and the man accused of causing
the loss had to make it good This sort of
funny business" never pays and men should
learn lesson from this transaction and steer
clear of such horse play.
1.-THE Strawbridge tree on the Kalmia
Park property, II miles west of Towson, at
tracted many people on Tuesday who looked
upon it for the first time. The Methodists of
Baltimore county should purchase several
to protect it and the other sacred spots in its
immediate environment.
- Baltimore county farmers never before
experienced as much trouble in securing hands
as they have this year and many of those that
are hired are very inferior. The labor prob
lem, so far as farmers are concerned, is exceed
ingly hard to solve and appears to be becom-
ing more difficult each year. Those tilers of
the soil who have sons at home to help them
are the fortunate ones these days.
> Republican primary meetings will be
held in Baltimore county on Saturday, August
10Th. The time for the Democratic primary
has not yet been fixed, but it will take place
some time this month. Republican candi-
dates are looming up in the different districts
and it is likely there will be plenty of them
by the time the convention assemblies.
- July 4th will be big day at Hereford
9TH district if Eureka Council, Jr. o. U. A. NJ,
can accomplish it. Extensive preparations
have been made for its annual picnic, in which
several other councils and lodges of other
orders will participate. Among the speakers
announced are Mr.. VIM. Tyler Page. Mr.. John
s: Ensor Rev. VIM. ]. Nicoll and Prof. E. c..
Chenoweth.

this summer than they have been in years.
if, indeed, they were ever so high before. Ten
cents is charged for an ordinary sized head of
cabbage, with everything else in about the
same proportion. Surely the growers of these
things have no reason to complain now, unless
they can say that it is the middlemen who put
the prices up and they 1.-THE growers) reap little
if any benefit from it.

Hicks Forecasts for July.-Warmer
weather and less rainfall will be the rule in
July, over most sections of the great grain pro-
ducing regions, than in July, 1902. At the
same time we do not look for a general or
severe drouth or for an excess of summer heat.
The first storm period is central on July I'd
and Sd. July will open with cloudy weather
and drizzling rain On the I'd and Sd there
will be pronounced storm conditions. 1t will
turn much warmer, will grow muggy and
close and some solid thunder storms, with
local rains, will pass over the country. These
storms may not subsde before the 9Th, but a
change to cooler will follow with cloudiness
and drizzle and high humidity.
The second storm period extends from the
9TH to the 9th. There will not, however, be
widespread and soaking rains. Behind the
clustering storminess and thunder look for
rising barometer, westerly winds and cooler,
clearing weather.
The 18th and 18th are the central days of
the next storm period. Another great heat
wave will arise at this time and many electri.
CAL threatening storm clouds will arise on and
touching the 10Th. Cooler weather will come
