-In olden times it was believed when you
had measles once that was the end of it-you
could never have it again. But this is all
changed now. We hear of people who have
had it two or three times and still do not feel
that they are immune. In this particular case
we perfer the old style.
THE Talkaboutit Sewing Circle, COM
posed of young ladies from Baltimore, Mt.
Washington and Towson, hada meeting at the
home of one of the members here Oh Thurs

There are several hundreds of the little
''pink Slips still out and they should be find
ing their way back to this Office more rapidly
than they are 1t is only once each year that
the attention of our subscribers is called to
this matter and we think then it should meet
with prompt response from all.

I'VE don't hear any complaints about the
county roads so long as Jack Frost is in charge,
but as soon as thaw comes then the growing
begins and gets to be regular grind. Hard"
roads are a boon and they are none the less APP
preciated because made so by nature. Perhaps
one of these days we will have them without
her assistance.
"a few days ago the body of Mrs. Watts,
who was shot and killed by her husband at
Attorney and DR.. j. Royston Green made post
mortem examination which clearly demon
strated the fact that the two pistol wounds
caused the woman's death. The trial of the
accused has been set for February 10TH
- Govanstown had large sized mad dog
scare on Monday last and the supposed rabid
animal, after being followed and shot at
number of times, finally disappeared. And
that reminds US that it would make almost
anything "mad'' to shoot at it dozen or
more times. Perhaps the poor brute's excite
ment had something to do with his subsequent
actions.
- Early this week many cars loaded with
anthracite coal were standing on the sidings
of the Western Maryland Railroad between
Arlington and Emory Grove. 1t is very
them that far but cannot get them to Balti-

fully convinced that there is something crooked
about this business.

Shamel, of Illinois, the man who will talk at
this meeting, is an expert on the subject of
corn-g growing and it will be worth while hear
ing him.

"A gentleman who came to Towson on
Wednesday to transact some business at the
Court House, complained very much about
the condition of the sidewalks here and said
they were disgrace to the county, which is
true When member of the Board of Coun-
ty Commissioners was asked few days ago
why something was not done for the walks in
Towson be replied that il they did such things
here they would have to do it for every little
village in the county. He evidently does not
appreciate the fact that this is the county seat
