->All three judges of the Circnit Court have
been engaged at the same time in the trial OF
separate cases at Towson this week. even the

The first horse show of the Green Spring
Valley Hunt Club will take place at the ken

success. All the classes filled well, there being

"a good many people who have been
farming in Baltimore county are dispOsing OF

those who are looking to other things for en-
ployment.

House of Correction for four months. When
Oliver don't daily with John Barleycorn he's
a valuable man and could find steady employ

I'VE have had number of calls this week
for trespass notices and the farmers and others
are no doubt fortifying themselves against the
raids of pot hunters and others that will set in

self and think nothing of firing their guns near
farm buildings and thus endangering them.
- Many very pretty and useful articles
were disposed of by chance at the Elks' fair in
TowsOn this week. As most of these were do

->If Democrats can be called crooked
because they will vote against the Poe consti-
tutional amendment the woods is literally alive
with Them just now. And some of them even
go further in their resentment against the party
managers and are swearing" for other parts
Of the ticket. Altogether it looks like there
will be rather funny election on the 9TH of
November. Perhaps it won't be so awful
funny either for some.
Some weatherwise folks say that Indian
summer comes in November. Webster's Ma
tional Dictionary says of it: Indian summer,
in North America, period of warm weather
late in autumn, usually characterized by
clear sky, and hazy or smoky appearance of
the atmosphere, especially near the horizon.
The name is derived probably from the custom
of the Indians of using this time in preparation
for winter by laying in stores Of food"
