trict.-Whle Mr.. Robert d. MOsner, teacher
of the public school at Sweet Air, was engaged
in game of ball few days ago. he was acct
dentally struck in the eye and painfully hurt.
His friends will be glad TO learn that no seri-
Gus results followed.
The parsonage of Chestnut Grove Church, at
Sweet Air, which has lately undergone some
repairs and improvements, now presents cosy
appearance and adds much TO the attractive
ness Of the village. Rev. ]. w. Campbell and
wife moved in on Thursday of last week and
at night large number of the congregation
assembled and paid them a donation visit
The pastor and wife were spending the eve
ming at the home of Mr.. Thomas Jessop,
near neighbor, and the visitors determined to
await their return, which they did. When
they arrived later they were greatly surprised
to find such an array of friends awaiting them
and it was not long before they were made
aware of the object of the visit. 1t is almost
needless to say that the reception was a warm
one. Rev. Mr.. Campbell and Mrs. Campbell
were profuse in their thanks for the many
good things so generously provided at such an
oppOrtune time. The affair was much enjoyed
by all who participated
The Christian Endeavor meeting at Chest
nut Grove Church last Sunday evening was
led by Mr.. Arthur Owens. The attendance
was good.
Miss Emma Burke, who had been sick at
her home near Sweet Air, is much improved
at this time.
The public schools of this section of the
county we're well represented at the Spanish
gun reception in Towson on the LIST instant.
The affair was much enjoyed by the children
and will long be remembered by them.
Rev. Mr.. Smith, of York, Pa, who is visit
itg Rev. j. w. Campbell, preached at Chestnut
Grove Church last Sunday morning.
Some farmers of this section are planting
corn. The rain of last Sunday night was
most welcome as vegetation of all kinds needed
it badly and could stand much more.
The public school at Sunny brook will give
an entertainment in the hall at that place,
Friday evening, May 18th, commencing at 8
o'clock. If raining the following Tuesday
night. M.
Worthington Valley, 4th District.-This
valley never looked more beautiful than it
| does Just at this time. The fruit seems to have
stood the cold weather we'll and the wealth of
bloom upon the trees would seem to indicate
an abundant crop of all kinds.
Last week Mr.. Charles A. Councilman seeded
about 81 acres of alfalfa. He is firm believer
| in its merits. His experience with this grass
covers period of about six or eight years and
| that ought to be sufficient time for thorough
test. A Government report ON this crop says
| alfalfa hay that has been properly cured is
eaten by all kinds of farm animals and has a
also one of the best soiling crops and may be
fed in this way to better advantage than if the
stock are pastured on the field. 1t will grow
in any favorable soil from sea level to 1000 feet
elevation. In Maryland alfalfa should be
sown in the spring as soon as the ground is
warm and there is no further danger of FROST
The ground selected should be as free as pos
sible from weeds, and it is essential that the
seedbed should be put in the best possible con-
dition by deep blowing and thorough harrow
ing, disking or rolling, according to circum-
stances"
From my observation l am convinced that
alfalfa will grow anywhere in Maryland in q
deep, fine fertile soil, not too wet.
On Tuesday of this week the stonecutters,
drilers and Others resumed work in Mr.. Coun-
cilman's quarry getting out stone for the new
buildings at the Maryland School for the Fee
BILE Minded, near Owings' Mills.
Mr.. Jacob Zouck, who owns the farm of the
late Benjamin Worthington, in this valley, has
remodled his house and much improved it.
He has also seeded plot of alfalfa as an ex-
pertinent.
Mr. Jacob D. Geist has about finished plant
ing corn while other farmers are just commenc-
ing that work. V. OBSERVER.

day. was an exciting one for the children of
this district. Hebbville school was represen-
ted by 81 pupils and Granite and several other
schools also attended the presentation of the
Spanish gun at Towson. While at the demon
straton remarks were heard rejecting on the
reputed hospitality of Towsontonians We
were on the verge of refuting these statements
when our innerman, conscious of an aching
void caused US to refrain. 1t was simply i'm
possible to get enough food of any description
to satisfy the appetite of an Individual under
ordinary circumstances, much less under the
trying conditions of waiting on corners by the
half hour for car, which had standing room
only and then being compelled to remain
standing the entire distance after having ac
complshed the difficult feat of climbing and
pushing ones way to gain foothold.
