The terminus of the automobile line
has been changed from Bel Air to Fork.
The daily trip of six miles each way be-
tween these points did not gather suE-
ficient passengers to pay for the wear
and tear of the. machine. The line is
doing a good local business between
Fork and Carney and as people become
accustomed to this modern means of
travel, the patronage will increase.
The Merchants and Manufacturers
Association of Baltimore, is making an
effort to ascertain sentiment regarding
the proper legislation for oyster culture.
1t recognizes the necessity of action by
the legislature and is taking the concen-
sus ofpublic opinion in Maryland through
the press of the state. The widest range
is given to the character of information
desired as the Association is trying to get |
at unbiased public sentiment.
The Chesapeake and Potomac Tele-
phone Company has inaugurated new
rule regarding toll messages. Hereafter,
no charge will be made unless the party |
desired is obtained. Calls may also be

time of the connection. These changes
are in the direction of good common
business sense and will doubtless meet
the approval Of patrons of the company.

sure horses belonging to the carriers, and
the association will also look after other
matters of interest to them.

The outside of the Court House ad-
ditions is fast assuming a finished APP
pearance. The bricklayers will leave this {
week, and the fire proofers work is about {
finished. The preliminary plumbing and

the final completion of the building so
that the fixtures can be attached. While

1st, next, Contractor Smith expects to

About five o'clock on Wednesday at {
ternoon the northwestern section of Bal
timore county was visited by one of the |
Severest rain storms that has been seen
in that section for years. The head
waters of Jones Falls make up here and
every tributary was soon overtlow wing. !
The vast volume of water running into
Baltimore City flooded the streets in the
vicinity Cellars were filled and it is
probable that thousands OF dollars worth
of property has been destroyed Strange
to say, no rain fell in this county during
the time of the deluge. Later in the
night a drenchiug shower was expert l
enced, though, and some Of the roads and
cornfelds are badly washed.
We have kept little quiet about the
new I2is building, but the work has
been going on just the same. The new
brick front is now almost reality and
the time will soon come when "movin'
day" will be fixed certainty. How
ever, the improvement is no small job,
and to carry the whole plant to its new
quarters and yet not miss an edition will
mean an effort. But it will be done, and
that too before the middle of September,
if plans do not fail. The plant will occu-
Ply the addition that has been built.
