his rescuer had to dive in order to bring

Mr. Charles Ii. Bowling was knocked
off of moving car that he was boarding
in Baltimore on last Saturday afternoon
and painfully hurt. The car was crowd
ed and he was walking down the side
step looking for place to get inside.
Just as he was stepping to the rear plat
form his shoulder was struck by pass
| ing brewery wagon and he was thrown
into the air the height of the car. He
! landed on his back in bruised and I'M
conscious condition. He later recovered
consciousness and was able to come to
Bel Air, where his injuries were examined
into BY Doctors Richardson and Archer.
1t was found that his shoulder blade was
broken and he was otherwise hurt. Mr..
| Bowling is the crack pitcher of the Bel
Air base ball club, and will probably be
ncapacitated from any further work this
! season. He is improving as rapidly as
could be expected.

The Old Town Hotel, Baltimore
hosiery whose history goes back over
100 years ago, is to be RACED to the
ground, and {. manufacturing place will
occupy the space where for so many
years has been resting spot for many
of the farmers of Hartford county. In
time gone by, our people grew more
garden truck, which they hauled to Balti-
more and disposed of at the Bel Air
market. The advent of railroads has
changed our methods of farming and the
raising of small crops has been allowed
to languish. Many of our older residents
stopped at the hotels in Old Town, after
they had disposed of their produce, and
the social features they enjoyed still APP
peal to memories of the past. There
is now only one stopping place of a like
kind, Streets Hotel. The march of pro-
gress will probably sometime level its
walls, and the pleasant days of the past
will be the only mark of what was at
one time, profitable vocation for many
of our people.
