The recent meeting of the Ladies' Aid So

balance in the treasury is rather better than
that of the trustees. The society recently
gave $50 towards the stewards fund. Mr..

Mount Vista, 18th District The few
bright days we have had lately appear to be
having good effect on everything and every
body. Grip and other maladies due to the Sc
verities of winter are giving way before the
more genial weather, and the farmers are get
ting ready for the activities that are now re-
quired of them.
Very little blowing was done last fall owing
to the early freezing of the ground, and none
whatever has been done SO far this spring.
while at this time last year many had finished
planting potatoes and peas. Some corn is still
standing in the shock in the fields, the winter
having set in so early that it was not possible
to get it husked.
The company that is building the electric
railway on the Hartford pike from Belair to
Hamilton is erecting an iron bridge over the
stream known as Long Green run, near the
residence of Mr.. Charles ]. Bonaparte. This
will be an improvement that the public will
appreciate and do away with fording that has
been dangerous for several weeks.
Mrs. Susan Lanahan, who went to Philadel-
phia last month to attend the wedding of her
niece is still in that city visiting her brother,
Mr.. George Dilworth.
Mr. Francis Dilworth, who some time ago
sold his farm. near the Pot Spring estate, to
Mr.. Charles E. Rieman, has purchased the
Olschinsky farm, in the valley, short dis
lance from this place, and is now moving to
it. He will make number of Improvements
on the place. 1t contains III acres and ad-
lett and others. Mr.. Dilworth was raised in
this neighborhood and many here will well
come back their old friend and schoolmate.
Mr.. John Olschinsky will engage in the bust
ness of wheelwrighting.
The leading question now is, What shall we
do with the tramps and other travellers whose
number appears to be increasing. They want
meals and lodging free and some are not salts
fled with cold lunches but demand hot coffee
and want to come inside the house to partake
timore and are unaccustomed to their present
way of living, &c. But, judging from their
expertness, they must have practiced this style
long before the fire. We are glad to give them
something to eat, if they will only pass on
after they get it, but some are so persistent
that they want to stay over night. If some of
these ablebodied men wonld go to work there
would not be so many complaints among
farmers about the scarcity of help. P. B.
To Ia
trict.-The Sunday school of Chestnut Grove
Church, the sessions of which were sus
pended during the winter, will resume on Sun
day, April Sd, at $50 A. NJ. The attendance at
this school has always been large and it is
h0Red hsEa be P4 fal8Rs & this aREing
encourage the pastor by being prompt in their
1sr: JOHN j. smith and Nj " imam purK
are very busy with their steam sawmills !
getting out lumber for spring and summer
building. There is such a rush for materials
of this kind that those in need of it have to
wait their turn to get the saving done.
Rev. L. Hammond will lecture in Fairview
M. E. Church South Sunnybrook, on Thurs
day, April It'll, at 7.30 P. NJ. His subject will
be aBrains and How to Use Them" The pro-
ceeds will be for the benefit of the church and
as the cause is most deserving one there
should be large attendance. The lecture is a
bright and interesting one and Rev. Mr..
Hammond is an entertaining talker.
Messrs. s. Turner and FL. Ayres, of Hartford
county, have been visiting Mr.. and NJ rs Nelson
McClung, at their home near Sunnybr
Miss Anna Bork is spending several weeks
with relatives and friends in Baltimore.

their home near Sweet Air.
Mr.. and Mrs. Harry Porter, of Philadelphia,

near Baldwin.
The Y p G. E. meeting at Chestnut Grove
Church was led last Sunday evening by Mr..
Conkling whose subject was Little Things
Made Great" His remarks were interesting
and we'll received.
The roads at this time are in most deplora-
BILE condition, and perhaps one of the worst in
the county is the road leading from Jackson
vile to Sweet Air and which passes Chestnut
Grove Church. 1t is an important thorough
fare and it seems outrageous that 1t should be
permitted to get as bad as it is now. The ladies
of the neighborhood were seriously consider
ing having board walk constructed from the
pike to the church, but they found the venture
would be too expensive. NJ.
Randallstown, I'd District-At last we
have enjoyed a day or two of real spring
weather, after the long and dreary winter, and
one again begins to think that life is worth
the living. Farmers are bestirring themselves
and will be over head and ears in work as soon
as they can get at it. Their outdoor work is
already greatly delayed.
1t is not an uncommon thing to hear men
say they are not afraid of any horse and de-
clare that they are willing to tackle any ami
NAL in the horse line no matter what his
reputation. One of this class-a resident of
this neighborhood-ha had some of the con-
ceit in this line taken out of him. He pur-
chased horse and. thought be had prize. but
soon found bis mistake and disposed of him
in short order. Next he got high-headed
good locker that showed lots of spirit. Then
his friends commenced to point out the faults
that the animal possessed and this began to
work on the owners nerves until he sold him
without even hooking him up. In the new
and gentle-a real prize, in fact-and the pur-
chaser's son uses him to take bis best girl out
driving.
A resident of this neighborhood conceived
the idea that he would embark in the business
