MIR. Charles H Knox is still in the field
as an independent candidate for County Com
missioner, despite the fact that most strenuous
efforts are being made to pull him out. The
Knox clubs that were formed last week seem
to have struck terror into the hearts of some.
And then "Charlie" Knox is so COMPOUNDED
hard HEADED He's enough to frighten ordinary
people Just to look at him, but in disposition
why lamb couldn't be milder.
1.-THE dahlia show held in Baltimore on
Monday last under the auspices of the Gar
deners' Club, was a successful affair. Nearly
one hundred varieties were shown, most of
them from the firm of Richard Vincent Il Son,
White Marsh, Baltimore county. Mr.. Fred.
Bauer, of GOvanstowD, was also large ex-
hibitor., The Messrs. Vincent have about 5O,-
sight worth rravellng miles To see.
> Mr.. Jacob NJ. Pearce, a well known
farmer and dairyman of My Lady's Manor,
proposes to abandon the latter business and
will sell his fine herd of cattle on Thursday,
October 10Th. 1t consists of q carefully selec-
ted lot of Guernsey, Jersey and Holstein cows,
heifers and bulls, and the sale which is adver-

tract wide attention. Clifford Hall" the
fine estate of Mr.. Pearce, is located near Monk

1.-THE Northern Central Railway Company
will soon begin the erection of an attractive
two-story station at Sherwood, to take the
place of the present one. 1t will have frontage
of SO feet and depth of 25 feet. 1t will be
heated throughout and supplied with every
modern convenience. The neighborhood of
Sherwood has grown rapidly in the past year
or two and the old station became too small to
accommodate the rapidly growing business of
the road at that point.
VIM. Russell Walker was convicted in
the Criminal Court of Baltimore on Tuesday,
upon the charge of stealing diamond ring
valued at $500. He got three years in the
penitentiary. Walker is the fellow who was in
Jail at Towson some time ago on charge of
theft. While here he had the run of the town
and finally left without permission, taking
the sheriff7s gun with him. 1t is said that
Walkers family is respectable, but he appears
to be a confirmed degenerate.
While squirrel hunting on Tuesday last
Mr.. Charles Dienstbach, of Towson, shot
large female squirrel that died so quick after
being hit that when picked up she still held
firmly between her teeth large hickorynut.
1t was also plain that the squirrel was caring
for nest of young that are no doubt now
starving to death. This is one of the beauties
of the present Baltimore county squirrel law.
When member of the Legislature Mr.. Harry
Malcolm wanted to have this law changed for
the reason given here, but others would not
hear to it.
