The Baltimore County union. [volume] (Towsontown, Md.) 1865-1909, 1903-10-31

- Bets prove nothing and we don't approve
of them, but Republican this week Offered
to bet hundred to fifty that a certain man or
the Republican ticket would be elected. This
shows that the fellow had his nerve along with
him, and he's got the cash also.
1.-The new Fairview NJ. e. Church South,
at Sunnybrook, 10th district, will be dedicated
next Sunday, the services beginning at IL A. NJ
and continuing throughout the day and even
ing. Rev. j. r. Jacobs, the pastor, will be as
sisted by several other ministers.
Ill there is anything near the ''cutting'
done that is threatened at next Tuesday s
election the judges and clerks will have job
| in counting the ballots that no one will envy
them. 1t will require many hours work
after the polls close before the tally sheets can
be made out.
> Rev. f. NJ. Bristol D. D., pastor of
! Metropolitan NJ. E. Church, Washington, d.
CIVIL deliver his popular lecture on brains"
in the NJ. E. Church at Monkton, n G. r. R.,
on Tuesday evening, November 81. A treat is
in store for those who hear him. Admission
| % and Is cents.
~ The handsome residence of Mr.. i. B.
| Passano on the corner of Allegheny and Bos-
ley avenues, Towson,. has been completed and
will soon be occupied by him. 1t attracts
much attention by reason of the fact that its
style of architecture is entirely different from
that of any other house in the town.
1.-The cornerstone for the new church at
Catch appointment, Great Falls Circuit will
ne ldlu on SUNDAY, november OH, at . L. M
Rev. John F. Goucher, D. D., president of
the Woman's College of Baltimore, will
preach. The stone will be laid by Garden
Lodge of Odd Fellows of Gardenville.
THE work Of razing the old Methodist
Church building at Govanstown was COM
menced this week. 1t was erected about fifty
years ago and had become too small for the
growing congregation. The new church to be
erected on the site of the old one will be
handsome building to cost about $4,000.
- DIR. Wakeman Briarly Munnikhuysen,
one of Hartford county's most prominent ply
sicians, died at his home near BeIair, on Tues
day, aged SO years. He was paralyzed about
two years ago and never recovered from the
stroke. He is survived by a widow, who was
Miss Annie f. Farnandis, three sons and three
daughters.
- Some amusing stories are being told
about the performances of the Mt. Washing
ton fire engine company at the fire in that
village few nights ago. No wonder the peo-
pie are clamoring for radical change III this
branch of the county service when it lays itself
open to such ridicule as was heaped upon it on
this occasion.
THE end of this week will about wind
up the campaign oratory for the present year.
Plenty of it has been fired off in this county
and there is a vast difference of opinion as to
its efficacy. But then it don't do any harm if
it don't do any good and we might just as well
accept it as thing to be endured because it
can't be cured.
- Inc SAFE OI lQb SIOUX, implements. ETC.,
on the James B. Councilman farm near Pixies
vile, which took place last Monday, attracted
a large crowd of people and good prices were
generally obtained, the Jersey and Guernsey
cattle bringing fair prices when the fact is con-
sidered that it was a cash sale. Mr.. 0. A.
Kirkland was the auctioneer.
THE County Commissioners have not
yet made a move to get rid of the old horse
killer chemical engine in Towson-a machine
that is almost twice as heavy as there is any
need for, especially when it is mostly used on
soft roads. Get rid of it before the bad wealth
er of winter sets in and thus improve the SER
vice and do humane act at the same time.
THE Democrats held meeting in what is
called the Long Corner of the 9th district on
Tuesday night and from all accounts it proved
to be anything else than success. The water
melon feast held in the same quarter few
weeks ago by the Republicans was far ahead
of it. Anything as mild as q watermelon
would have had poor show at the last gather
ing.
- People who have the little auxiliary saw
ings banks of the Union Trust Company, that
went into the hands of a receiver last week,
are invited to take them back to the bank and
have them unlocked in order to get out what
cash you may have in them. Perhaps then
these generous fellows will also keep the banks,
unmindful of the fact that the depostors paid
81 each for them.
"A gentleman who lives near Towson ex-
hibited at THE UNION Office few days ago
two parchment commissions signed by Presi-
dents John Adams and Thomas Jefferson, the
signatures being as distinct as the day they were
written. They were made out in the name of
his maternal great-grandfather and great
uncle both of whom served the Government
in highly responsible positions.
7We again call attention to the fact that
the specimen ballot printed in THE UNION this
week is not like the one that will be used in
election booths next week. This latter ballot
is kept very shady by the Democratic mana
gers in order that no voter may know any
thing about it until it is handed to him at the
polls. This is another evidence of the kind of
fairness (P) that some people like to deal in.
THE Republicans held a splendid meet
ing at st. Denis, 18th district, on Thursday
night at which Mr. L. c. Crawford presided
Speeches were made by Messrs. James E.
Ingram, Jr., John s. Ensor and John w.
Peregoy, of the county ticket, Mr.. VIM. Tyler
Page and Mr.. VIM. Broening, of Baltimore.
1t is said that there were fully 600 voters at the
meeting. Mr.. Ensor also addressed meeting
at DELLA LIST district, the same night.
The organ recital given in Trinity
Church, Towson, on Thursday night, under
the direction of Miss Lucie II. Wickes, was
much enjoyed by a large audience. She was
assisted by Mrs. Raleigh G. Thomas, soprano;
Mr.. Frank ]. Taylor, baritone, and Mrs.
Theodore Ahrens, violinist. Mrs. Marshall
Winchester's name appeared on the program,
but she was detained at home by sudden ILL
ness, much to the regret of many of those in
the audience who hoped to hear the sweet
strains of her violin.
