last. Before rendering their decision the Com
missioners will make personal inspection OF
the premises and they have requested that each
side be represented by an engineer.
lone don't want to be thinking about
1905 so soon, but how can it be helped when
the calendar man has already been around So
Letting orders for that year? For the man
who makes the calendars the years can't slip
by too rapidly. In this respect at least, he
differs from the average of humanity.
There is NO longer any question about
the value of THE UNION as an advertising me-
dunn. Its large and constantly growing circu-
lation insures good returns to those who pa
tronize its columns-a fact that has been too
often proven to require reiteration. II you
don't believe it just plant a small ad. and be
- Mr.. William L. Amoss, who will have
charge of Maryland's agricultural exhibit at
the Worlds Fair, on Thursday sent an expert

farm that he at once selected three barrels of
the corn.
- Again we wish to say that communica-
tions coming to THE UNION unaccompanied by
the name of person known to us, cannot
be published. We have made this same an
nouncement scores of times and yet people
will continue to send US anonymous commu-
nications. Can't they understand that they
cannot appear unless we know who is the
author?
IA supposed rabid dog passed through
Towson last Saturday and created some excite
ment for time. It is said he bit several ca
mines in the town and one or two of these
have been killed. Tits reported that this same
dog bit some of the cows on a farm near Sher-
wood and created great CONSERVATION about the
premises. One man who saw this dog says he
was not mad.
- William T. Akehurst, the engineer of the
Northern Central freight who was killed in
the wreck near Sparks Station last week, was
member of the Baltimore county family of

running an engine year., He was member
of the Jr. o U. A. NJ. and of the Brotherhood

Vice President Landstreet, of the Western Ma
ryIand r. e. Company, has contributed 5000

- The UNION is indebted to Mr.. William
p Cooper, formerly of Towson, for copy of
daily paper published in Salt Lake City.
Utah, containing large picture of Smith, the
head Mormon of them all, with all of his
wives and squad of his numerous offspring.
A marginal note on the paper shows that Mr..
Cooper does not entertain an exalted opinion
of Smith and his fellow-polygamists.
"a monument at Towson to the memory
of those Baltimore county men of both armies
who lost their lives in the Civil War is some
thing that was discussed some time ago, but
nothing grew out of it. Such a memorial
would be eminently proper and we hope to see
the idea carried out some day. The UNION
stands ready and willing to assist the enter
prise whenever it shall be undertaken.

- Merryman's Mill, on the Gunpowder, has
not vet been rented, the man who took it hav-
ing failed to appear. This mill was built fully
$50 years ago by Richard Britton, who owned a

ago farmers for scores of miles hauled their
grain to this mill to be ground. many of its
patrons coming from York and Hartord coun-
