- During the late county fair at Timonium
Mr. E. W. Herman, of the Towson BAR lost
his gold watch and believed it to have been
stolen from him. A few days ago he was in
formed that a colored woman at Cockeysville

>Mr. John s. Ensor, candidate for States
Attorney on the Republican ticket, addressed
meeting at Texas, N. c. R. R.. last Saturday
night. There was time, and not very long
ago, when such a thing as Republican meet
ing in that village was unheard of. But times
have changed and people appear to be chang
ing with them.
= By far the largest percentage of the peo-
pie are honest and have no wish to treat others
fo;r in foof thew W0nld NOT do mat
ter what opportunities were offered. Then
why is it thought necessary by some to work
deceptions on others to gain an advantage in
elections2 We cannot see why such wrong
should be countenanced.
"a copv of the official ballot-not fac
simile-to be voted on the Sd of November is
published in THE UNION today and it should
be carefully studied. Including the candidate
for Associate Judge each voter has the right to
vote for twenty-one candidates. If he marks
more than that number his ticket will be
thrown out and not counted.
1.-The Reform League of Baltimore Coun-
ty, whose headquarters is at Highlandtown,
is issuing little weekly paper called The
Citizen that will be the exponent of its aims
and work. If the league can do anything to-
ward reforming the morals of considerable
portion of the population of that section it
will have accomplished great work.
ut is said that there are a number of
Democrats in Baltimore county who will not
go near the polls this year. They are dissatis.
fed with the management of their party and
they will take this means to show it. That
may be all right, but the better way to do it
would be to 90 to the polls and help to beat
the management that has become offensive
->Some strange things are developing in
this campaign and here is one of them: A
life long Democrat was met one day this week
who solemnly declared that he would not vote
for single man on the ticket except as he ex-
pressed it, Charley Knox. Now if more
'crooked" Democrat than this man can be
found the chrome is his without the asking.
pa Democrat from the 18th district who
was in Towson this week said that Mr.. Nc
Cormick would sweep everything before him
in his section and he declared that, although
he had never voted for Republican in bis
life, he would surely vote for Mccormick if he
lived to get to the polls this year. And he
might have added that he'll have plenty of
company, too.
- Mr. Harry Malcolm, of Towson, who is
an ever wide awake deputy game warden, on
Wednesday morning received through the
mail, accompanied by an anonymous note,
the head of partridge that had evidently
been killed the day before. The man who
killed this bird in the closed season and thus
violated game law, will be made to feel its
force, if heis discovered.
- On the county ticket this year you will
vote for one Senator, six members of the
House of Delegates, one States Attorney, one
Clerk of the Circuit Court, two County Com
missioners one County Treasurer, one Sheriff,
three Judges of the Orphans Court and one
County Surveyor. Should you by any chance
mark an extra name for any of these Offices
your ticket will be thrown out and count for
nothing.
> Miss Elizabeth W. Smith and Miss Edith
Foreman, composing a committee from the
Neighborhood improvement Club of Govans-
town, appeared before the County Commits
sioners on Tuesday and informed the Board
that Bellona avenue is much in need of re.
pairs and that the electric lights along the ave-
nue. are not giving satisfaction. 1t is likely
the matters complained of will receive early
attention.

Orphans Court this week letters were granted
