with the dairy herd that he will shortly
purchase. He expects to establish a SAM
tary creamery and will aim for only the
highest grade of products. For this pur-
pose, herd of Guernsey cattle will be

Mr.. Hugh A. Jones, of Castleton, who
is a member of the Court House Commits
sion, was in Bel Air on Wednesday on Of
fetal business. He says that on Tuesday
evening the SusC johanna River so
abounded with herring that those who
were catching them with nets were COM
PEELED to use care lest they become too
heavy with fish and "brake" as in scrip
tural times. He also says that numbers
of small boys were catching them with
hook and line. AS is well known. herring
will not take the bait, but on account of
the large quantities all that was neces-
sary was to throw the hook in the water
and a fish could be hooked out every
time In support of this wonderful fish
story, MIR. Jones saws that while the run
of the fnny tribe is over, credulous per-
sons can satisfy themselves by coming
over and making personal observation
of the river and see where the fish have
been.
