more or less anxious wait the pleasing infor-
nation is given out that the Northern Contra
Railway Company has determined to erect a
handsome and modern station house at this
| place. 1t will be two-story structure, front
ing the track 60 feet with depth of %, the
shelter extending half way around the build
ing. In the basement there will be a heater
room, pantry, coalbin and cellar. On the
main floor will be baggage room, spacious
waiting room with an adjoining retiring room
ticket Office living room and kitchen. The
second floor will contain three bedrooms, q
bathroom and closets. This will be an i'm.
provement that will be greatly appreciated by
the people of this rapidly growing section.
Some time ago committee of taxpayers in
! and around this place waited upon the County
] Commissioners and asked that an appropriation
be made to improve the Joppa road, which
| had become sadly out of repair. The matter
hung fire for some time until the committee
! thought the Commissioners had forgotten it.
This week they called upon the Board again
and were promised an appropriation of 81 600,
the committee agreeing to individually put up
an additional $500. The money will be ex-
pended on the road between Towson and Sher-
| wood.
The wife of Mr.. D. NJ. Bryson, postmaster
and ticket agent at this place, who had been
very i'll for the past two weeks, is now inn
! proving slowly and her early recovery is con-
lidently expected For some days her condi-
| ton was critical and much sympathy was ex-

Mr. G. p. Barnet, who has been manager on
the country place of Mr.. A. G. Snyder, on the
Hillen road near Towson, has rented the farm
! of Mr.. Howard L. Rider, at this place. Mr..
Rider has been engaged in farming all his life
| and will now retire. His intention is to erect
fine modern cottage on his property for his
own use, and this will add another to our
numerous improvements.
Mr. Robert H. Wright, president of the
Rockland Bleach and Dye Works, whose
handsome home is near Sherwood, is in New
| York city on business trip. He will return
early next week.
Mr. and Mrs. George w. Ewing, who for
some time had been travelling in the West and
South, have returned to Baltimore and on
Tuesday paid visit to their country place,
west of Sherwood 1t will be remembered
that their house was burned during the coolest
weather of last winter, the family making a
narrow escape at the time. 1t is rumored that
Mr.. Ewing is now making. preparations to
rebuild on the old site, which is among the
most attractive in this section.
Mr.. William Magidt, who had been living
on the farm of Mr.. Henry Kellogg, near Luth-
erville, for over twenty years, has removed to
Sherwood.
Mr.. William Vanhorn, of Sherwood. who
is employed as florist and gardener on Mr.. ii.
A. Pass country place, near here has removed
to house on the farm, in order to be more
convenient to his work.
1t is marvellous the rapid strides this neigh
borhood has made in the last year or two and
the basis of taxation must have been largely
increased in that time. The big overhead
bridge was starter and since then the Joppa
road west of the railroad has been graded
and q substantial concrete and steel bridge
erected over Roland run, doing away with
dangerous crossing that THE UNION had many
times referred to. Electric lights have also
been introduced here, so it will be seen the
village and surrounding country are becoming
in every way mOderniZed. L.
Powhatan, I'd District.-The past week
has been a gentle reminder of approaching
winter-just cold enough to rouse one from
the mental torpor of summer. The entire
summer, however, has been phenomenal, and
the farms and gardens in this vicinity have
suffered to a certain extent. Some of our resi-
dents who formerly raised vegetables in pro-
fusion, are now buying tomatoes for catsup.
1t is simply impossibls to get enough for can
ming. Mr.. John Heineman, whose summer
residence is near here, raised the finest tOma-
toes in the neighborhood, and he is quite
proud of his success in this line.

by fire recently, is rebuilding on the old site.

Some men, when crossing the bridge over
the falls here, few days ago, saw the body of
q woman in the water apparently dead. They
Immediately got her out and phoned for DR..
A. G. Smink, who succeeded in reviving her
and having her sent to her home. She said
she was trained nurse at one of the city hos
pitfalls and fell into the water while fishing.
She declined to give her name.
The Hebbville Athletic Club gave very en-
joyable fishing party. Mr.. Bitzer's coaches
were engaged to carry all who wished to go
and dinner was served at the fishing shore.
All returned charmed with the days outing
and the manner in which the entire affair was
managed.
Gwynn Oak Park has closed for the season
and the inspiring (?) music as well as the me-
lodious voice of the politician is silenced.
The fine drug store opened by Mr.. G. Vogel
| is quite an acquisition to the neighborhood.
They do not treat us to barbecues in this
district and not one political speech have we
heard since September 10Th. l.
