GOODBYE TO THE KHAKI AND BLUE.

The soldiers are gone and Camp Saun-
ders is now Il matter of history. Asso-
ciatcd with their stay are only the most
pleasant recoliections, and our citizens
will refer with pride to the time when
the county-scat had the cncampment of
the State sentire brigade. The prophesies
of the pcssimists were not fulfilled, and
those who at first looked upon the propo-
sition with askance are now loud in their
expressions of satisfaction concerning the
conduct of the camp while the boys were
here. Nothing could have been more
peaceful or orderly, and now that they
have really gone n sense of consequences
seems to pervade our streets. 1t was a
big proposition to successfully bring and
care for this immense body of men, but
the entire affair passed off without hitch
or incident. The camp grounds were as
near perfect as could be desired and every
arrangement looking to the comfort of
the soldiers was carefully considered.
The healthfulness of the camp was phe-
nominal, but this was to be expected as
there is no more healthy location in
Maryland. Although the population of
the town was more than doubled, the
water supply was only taxed in a slight
degree and very little pumping was neces-

Tile COUNTY EAR.

Our people should bear in mind the fact
that the County Fair is only "a month off
The entry books will be opened on August
10th and there should be no difficulty in
filling every department. Despite the
season, it now looks as if the soil pro-
ducts will be of n nature that will allow
generous display of everything that
grows out of the ground. Theliv stock
department is an important one, and
there are many excellent animals in Har.
ford county which should be placed on
exhibition for an adniiring public. 1t is
an excellent advertisement for the whole
county, and one portion is as muchinter-
ested as another. The directors have
promised to make this fair better than
last year, and they have gone about it in
a systematic manner. The track amuse-
ments and races will be far superior. Ar
rangcmcnts have been made with New
York agency that has booked attractions
to give amusements before and during the
races that will take up each afternoon.
Music will be furnished by brass band
and string band from Baltimore.
1t has been customary for so many
years to hold the fair the first week in
October that it seems hard to accustom
ourselves to the new dates, but upon re-
Election the action of the board Of direc-
tors will doubtless appeal to everyone,
as there are many arguments in favor of
the present time. In the first place the
farmers will not be SO busy, as this is
what might be called between seasons.
The canning industry, which is an inn
portant one, will not commence in earnest
until about the first week in September.
Besides these arguments it is most OK
cellent time to bring the best horses to
the racing stables. Heretofore this fail
has only had horses that have served
hard races, but with this early date the
circuit will practically be opened here
and, as natural consequence, the entries
will be much larger.
We must all help the fair and uphold
the directors in their work. If it is to re
main permanent institution, it must
first of all receive local support. The
public generally seem to appreciate it:
merits and our own people should meet
than in the same spirit.

RASE BALL.

The game of base ball last Thurs
day afternoon with the Towson Athletic
Club, closed the encampneut series of
games. The novelty of having base ball
each day was much enjoyed by the people
of the town and county, who attended in
large numbers. The contest with Towson
was close and exciting, resulting in
victory for the visitors Ivy a score of 0 to

ing marched all morning with the soldiers,
and as Il consequence was i'll poor trim,
allowing five runs to be scored in the first
inning. Downing, who succeeded him,
held the visitors down in excellent shape,
and, with little batting rally, would
have added another game TO the home

The game scheduled with the Aberdeen

DEATH OF MRS, HARLAN.

Mrs. Margaret K. Harlan, aged seventy
seven years, widow of the late Or. David
Harlan, U. S. N, died at "Homelands,
near Churchville, on Monday night. She
had been i'll for the past four weeks, but
was convalescent until last Friday, when
she became rapidly worse. Mrs Harlan
was daughter of the late James Beatty
Herbert. Her grandfather was Captain
John Herbert, who was an officer in the
Revolutionary War. He acquired a large
property at Churchville, which was form
erly known as "Herbert's Cross Roads,"
and it has remained in the family ever
since
In all church work Mrs. Harlan took
a foremost part. In 1880 she organized
a Childrcns' Home Missionary Society
which in its time has included among its
membership many persons who have now
reached manhood and womanhood, yet
look back with the fondest recolections
for the deceased president. Her influence
for good in the community was striking.
She possessed the rare tact of freely
miugling in the different conditions of
public life, that her church work carried
her, in such manner as to give perfect
ease and comfort to all of her associates.
She has written number of articles, and
one book, dedicated to adeceased daugh-
ter, is now in many Sunday School
libraries. The surviving children are Dr.
Herbert Harlan, of Baltimore City, Judge
Henry d. Harlan, Chief of the
Supreme Bench of Baltimore City, Will
liam Beatty Harlan, of the Bel Air bar,
and David f. Harlan, of Middletown,
Ohio. Her funeral took place on Thurs
day morning, services being held in
Churchville Presbyterian Church of which
she was a life long member. The otliciat-
ing ministers were Rev. Samuel {. Wasson,
pastor of the church, and Rev. Z. A. Col
burn, pastor of Holy Trinity Church

the same would have occurred anywhere

Both officers and men are loud in heir
praises of the success of the cncampmant.
AS is well known, almost the entire time
was taken Up with either Instructions or
drills, and when the soldiers were allow cd
little needed rest they were too tired to
take it in any but quiet manner Here
totore encampmcnts have been more or
less a holiday. The men did some little
drilling and nominal guard duty was
kept up. AT Camp Saunders things were
radically different 1t was understood
from the start that the State expected
material returns for the money invested,
and there is no doubt but what this was
accomplished. The presence ofthc United
States army officers no DOUBT added to
the effectiveness of the different drills and
skirmish battles and their criticisms,
which will hereafter be made public, will
doubtless be interesting reading
The first regiment to leave camp on
Saturday morning was the First, which
was moved by special trains about Two
O'Clock in the afternoon. Tie other two
regiments left on Sunday and The work of
dcmolishins the camp grounds has now
practically been accomplished. The tents
have been taken down and have been car

on some future occasion.

that few people know the difference. To tell
the difference between the genuine Hostetter's
