In Memoriam.

Departed this life, at Poolesville, Md.
May S0th, 1908, (the anniversary OF hel
marriage,) Mary s. Fletchsll, widow oil
John T. Fetchall and daughter Of William
Poole, Sr., deceased, aged N years, 8 months
and 90 days.
She was the last survivor of her fathers
family She was q communicate OF the
Protestant Episcopal Church, and owing to
the unavoidable absence of her pastor the
funeral services were conducted by her
nephew, the Rev. D. l.. Blackmore, of WASH
ington, d. O., assisted by Rev, r. s. Owens,
and her body was laid to rest In the Monoc
acy cemetery.
Nearly two months ago dear son passed
away, and after this sad affection she seemed
to have given up, for life looked so dark to
her, but only 10 be 80 for awhile, for she
soon followed him to that better home above.
How sad 1t Is to lose mother-one who has
always been 80 devoted, loving and kind,
ready to minister to our wants at all times,
trying TO heal every wound, to soothe every
sorrow and sYmpathizing with us in all of
our distresses. Oh the love OF mother
how grand, how beautiful, how complete
IL fills our hearts with teuder emotions and
will abide there to the end. When we visit
the old homestead, (which now is broken,)
as We reach the sight of the old home, we
will miss the dear familiar form that used to
greet US, and as we cross the old brook, the
banks upon which we have played in our
boyhood days, even the ripple OF that brook
tells us In mourniul sound that mother is
gone, and as we ascend the hill to the old
home everything speaks; the old locust tree
with its swayng boughs and quivering
leaves, and the little birds that sing their
tuneiu songs In its branches, and the lovely
flowers that she loved to cultivate, the ira.
GRANGE of which Is waited away by the gen
tie breeze, all remind US, yes, everything
around the old home tells US 10 some way
that mother 10 gone. Oh we can hardly
realize II. May God help US to bear the
pain, the woe and the anguish. 1t would be
sad indeed TO us after the severance of earth
ly ties II we had no hope of reuniting them
again; but, o blessed thought OF immor
tality. Christ says Let not your heart be
troubled. Ye believe In God, believe also
in me. In my Fathers house are many
mansions; II 1t were not 80 | would have
told you. | go to prepare place for you,
that where am there you may be also.
One OF her favorite hymns was shall We
Gather at the River" and many time in
our childhood days we have heard her sweet
voice singing that old hymn
"Yes we'll gather at the river,
The beautiful, the beautiful river,
Gather with the saints at the river
That flows by the throne Of God"
She told her pastor that she was happy
and trusting in Jesus. A grand experience,
blessed consolation, a victorious end.
Though cast down, we're not forsaken;
Though afflicted, not alone;
Thou didst give and Thou hast taken,
Blessed Lord, Thy will be done.
Goodbye dearest mother until we meet
again.
BY her Son.

Farmers in Session Members of the
various farmers organizations OF Maryland,
representing practically every section of the
State, in number about 800, assembled at
the Maryland Agricultural College and Ex-
pertinent Station on Friday last, the occa.
the farmers organization Of Maryland. On
the previous day the delegates from the va.
rious State organizations assembled In the
college chapel, were welcomed by Capt. X.
W. Sylvester, president Of the college, and
then proceeded TO inspect the work Of the
various departments connected with the in
stitution.
At a general meeting OF farmers held Fri.
day afternoon DR.. August Stabler presided
and Mr.. franklin Weems was secretary. A
report was adopted earnestly commanding
the needs Of the college to the Legislature
and showing the great advances II has made
and It's constantly broadening field Of use.
fitness. The report says;
ave find the work Of the college pro.
crossing. The number of students has In.
creased nearly 30 per cent over last year
The past few years have shown a marked
increase 10 the number taking the mechan-
ical, agricultural and scientific branches and
a steady decrease in the number taking the
classical course, now but 2 per cent Of the
enrolment, showing conclusively that the
work of this institution is more appreciated
by the farmers Of our State and should be
supported by them In determined effort TO
secure additional appropriations from time
To time as they may be needed And we
should not hesitate TO ask for what our 10.
terests require and insist upon receiving It,
The appearance of the students, their car
riage and general bearing are a credit to
their training. The grounds and land show
a continued improvement, and, remember
ing the original poverty Of the soil, the re-
suits are remarkable"
At these meetings the several farmers
clubs and other similar organizations 10 this
county were we'll represented by our lead
ing agriculturists.

How Railroads Develop and Improve
Property.

A striking illustration of the value of Q
railroad to a community is furnished by the
history Of the Metropolitan Branch OF the
Baltimore and Ohio. That railroad Is about
40 miles long, extending from the city Of
Washington to the Point of Rocks, 10 Fred.
erick county 1t crosses through the heart
of Montgomery, and all but few miles Of
1t lies in that county. The road was opened
for traffic in the spring of 1878, just thirty
years ago. In that time 1t has transformed
the most ferti lie, beautiful and productive
portions OF Maryland, and the value of farm
lands in upper Montgomery has been In
creased from five to ten fold. That portion
of the country lying along the road from
Gaithersburg to the Monocacy was largely
covered with pine forest, and many cleared
fields produced nothing more valuable than
sedge grass Most OF the district was 80 re-.
mote from any line of transportation that 1t
did not pay farmers to come in and improve
It.. But the Metropolitan road not only gave
access to the markets, but It brought lime
from Frederick, and that applied to the
fields fertilized them as If by magic, and
lands which thirty years ago would not grow
enough wheat to pay Tor the harvesting now
in favorable years yield as much as 40 bush.
els to the acre. Fine houses have been built
and villages and towns have grown up.
Along that portion of the road between
Washington and Rockville there are many
suburban settlements where persons en-
gagged in business In Washington or EN-.
ployed In the departments have their homes
10 this way the population as well as the
wealth of Montgomery county have been
greatly increased. The country Is pecu
liarly adapted for residences. II 10 highly
elevated, healthiul, free from mosquitoes
and malaria and has excellent water. II is
said that this movement from the city Of
Washington into Montgomery county was
greatly promoted by the civil service law
Previously to its enactment clerks employed
by the Government made their homes In
city boarding houses. Their tenure of Office
was supposed to be assured only until the
next Presidential election and was regarded
as too insecure to justify a clerk in buying
permanent home. Now that the tenure is
more secure and suburban homes can be
bought at moderate prices, there has been q
large movement to the country. All this
has taken place since the opening Of the
Metropolitan Branch, 10 1878, although the
road was not intended primarily as a local
road. 1t was constructed to afford Washing.
