G. r. R., commenced last Thursday and will
continue until the 9Th of August. This is one
Of the most popular camps in the country and
is always well attended, Baltimore county
being largely represented, especially on Sum
days. Many OF our people are tenting there
this year.
At their meeting on Thursday the Elec-
ton Supervisors heard the objections to the
appointment of George s. Kalb as one of the
Democratic registers for the LIST district. Mr.
Kalb was retained and exonerated from the
charges made against him. 1t was alleged that

>Towson and the section Immediately sur
rounding it appears to be in the rainy quarter
of Baltimore county this year. We have had
more rains here than any other section-in fact
some localities were almost furnishing for
good for us, and this state of affairs appears to
be keeping up steadily.
1.-The management of Emory Grove camp
extends special Invitation to Baltimore coun-
ty people this year and arrangements have
been made for their comfort. A large tent
will be erected as their headquarters, and a
horse pound with running water has been pro-
vided for their convenience. Admission to the
grounds and horse pound is free.
-->Anumber of well known gentlemen have
made application to the National Jockey Club
for license for q race meeting at Pimlico
track next fall, and it is said these gentlemen
will make an effort to bring Baltimore back
into line as one of the great racing centres of
the country. MIR. William P. Riggs is one of
the leading spirits in this movement.
THE last week in July brought us real
old-time rain that soaked the earth as it had
not been before in months. It caught the oat
harvest in bad shape and those who had cut
their crop no doubt found it in rather bad
shape. Many of our most successful farmers
do not SOW oats because, they say, the crop is
too uncertain and does not pay at best.
ION Tuesday evening as TowsOn M. E.
Sunday school was returning in special trolley
cars from its annual picnic in Druid Hill Park,
q crowd Of boys standing near the tracks, Just
north of Griffins store, Queenstown, treated
the occupants of the cars to shower of mud.
The railroad company, If possible, should cause
the arrest of these scamps. They deserve to be
punished.
->Some people say that business always
suffers in Presidential years-that is wears
when elections for the President occur-but
we don't believe there is anything in it. If
mems minds would become so much absorbed
with politics as to make them neglect their
business, then there might be reason for such
a belief, but this does not seem within the
possibilities.

Vale Stock Farm, who had been travelling in
the North and West, returned this week with
a splendid lot of horses including coach teams,
single drivers and saddlers, that are well worth

- Many thousands of men are out of EN-.
plovment in the North and West because of
strikes, and one difficulty is hardly bridged
over until another appears 1t is strange that
some of the wise men of the country cannot
devise plan to settle the troubles between
capital and labor without resort to these
foolish strikes which, in ninety-nine cases in
q hundred, result to the disadvantage of the
laboring man and those depending upon him
for support.
lin the spring and early summer the hors
chestnut is one of the prettiest trees we have,
but by the latter part of July their leaves be-
gin to turn brown and by the end of August,
when all other trees are still green and beauti-
full, they present decidedly sorry sight. The
Norway maple is the tree among all others
that puts out its leaves early in the spring and
retains its verdue until late in the fall. Its
very thick and rich green foliage is always a
delight to the eye.
is doing flourishing business this summer
both in passenger and freight. When this road
was first constructed as q narrow gauge it was
called the Baltimore & Delta. Then its name
was changed to the Baltimore & Lehigh, and
then again to the Maryland Central. Finally
it came under new management, it was made
q broad gauge and its name was changed to the
Maryland & Pennsylvania. Since these things
took place the property has been greatly i'm
proved and the business of the road has grown
wonderfully.
Railroad Men to Become Farmers Also.
Perhaps.-The Pennsylvania Railroad Com
pany has under consideration a plan by which
all of the thousands of employees may, if they
so desire, become proprietors of little farms.
The scheme contemplates the parceling out OF
desirable lands belonging to the railroad COM
panv along the various lines of track and per-
hitting the free use of this land to every en-
ploye who wishes to put the same under cult
walton.
In cases where the employee himself might
not have the time to conduct a little truck farm
| the offer would hold if the members of bis fam
| ily were willing to look after the land. In
| thousands of cases such farms could be provid
ed within short distance of the homes Of the
men, and in every case the farm would be in
a place that would make easy the marketing Of
such produce as was not consumed by the fam
| lilies of the employees.
