While this situation continues no

Many good market leaders are Of
opinion that the buIl movement is not

go higher in spite of intermediate re-

ported by renewal of the advance
movement at the close of the week.
Conservative investors and specuat-

high as justified by either present or
prospective conditions. They believe

In our opinion the outlook for the

is no prospect of serious reaction in
sight; no anxiety need be felt about
the money market, and if some of
the more cautious operators have

we now have class Of big traders

of the bulls is chiefly pinned upon

S24,OOO,OOO for Wagon Roatl..

There lie pending in Congress bill called
The Brownlow Bill, introduced by Hon. W.
P. Brownow, of Tennessee, which appro
pirates $24, 100000 as national aid for the
building Of wagon roads. This sum is to be
available at the rate of $1,000, 900 a year; is
to be divided according to the population of
the differen, States, but no state is to receive
less than s25O,C0O. Every state receiving
National aid must appropriate and spend II
like amount.
The asserted growth of sentiment in favor
of the measure has been chiefly due to The
institution and extension of the rural free
mail delivery system, which has brought the
disadvantages of poor roads home to the
farmers aud other country jewellers. Appll-
cations for the extension of the free rural
delivery system are beng refused by the
Post Office authorities on account Of the
roads, and the disappointed communities dc
mand their improvement, These demands
are SO in excess of the ability of the local
boards to respond to that for a year past
Highway Commissions all over the country
have been putting themselves on record in
favor of Nationa! aid.
1t is claimed ON behalf of the bill that the
plan of distribution is more equitable tran
the distribution of some $32,500000a year
under the Rivers and Harbors Bill, which
goes principally to the scaboard states and
to the Mississippi delta.

Local Correspondence.

An incident setting forth the hardships
cncoun erei by the farmer, wrought by in
jury to last seasons grain crop, WAS in evl.
dence here on last Monday. With load Of
about rs bushels of wheat Mr. VIM. Warner
farmer of MOtters Station, songh: our mar
ket to dispose of tile same. The wheat be-
ihC unsound ard musty, Mr.. g. W. Stocks
dale refused to bid on it. Mr.. Warner then
drove to our Touring mill where Messrs
Powell s. English made him the very hilhest
possible bid, 70 cents, think, for feed pur
poses, the wheat being unfit for -four. To
Mr.. Warner, this bid seemed entirely too low
and he acc ,rdingly drove back TO his home
with the wheat, saying that he "could do
much better than that in Taneytown." MIR.
Warner is a hard worker and straight going
farmer, and the drive being long an labo-
rious one, both Mr.. Stocksdale and Messrs
Powell &, English expressed regrets at not
seeing their way clear to offer him bid for
the grain that would accord with his expec
tations.
AT the age of very nearly four score years
Mr.. Henry Shuf is in the grasp Of Very
stubborn case Of grip.
Henry A. Spes who has been suffering for
several weeks with badly dis 'rdered and
painful eye has placed himself in the hands
of specialist for treatment. Mr.. Sipes'
physician advises US that the trouble is a
very serious one an | that the sight of that
eye may be destroyed ED
AS time rolls on 1t is becoming more and
more apparent that very considerable por-
ton of last years wheat crop is unfit for
milling purposes, except for feed Doubt
less this condition is altogether owing to the
excessively wet weather during the matur.
ing, harvesting and storing processes OF
the farmer. miller and consumer, in the mat.
ter of dollars and cents, the farmer is doubt
less the heavier loser Upon the part ofthe
miller and consumer, the ordeal will be q
trying one indeed but patience, forbearance,
charity pure, must be the watchword, re-
membering that Paul may plant and
Apollos water, etc"
Now that the machinery has been set in
motion, it Is becoming and perfectly in place
for all adults, male and female, to pay visit
to our Touring mill and speak word OF
welcome to the new proprietors and their
miller, look over their splendidly equipped
plant and thereby tell them that you are in
terested in their presence here and appreci-
ate their Efforts to accommodate the people
ana increiee the business of the community.
1t will make them feel good and at home,

testify to her calmness, good judgment, and
withal to her gentencss and other fruits of
the Spirit. She leaves as an exhorlation to
the young. that they consecrate themselves
unto the Lord and never be ashamed to con
fess His name, and admonishes each and all
to do only what we can ask the Lords bless
