place. Its principal hackers are Mcssrs
Robert Garrett and Charles J. Bonaparte
Mr.. Harold Scarboro, formerly of Bel Air,
has charge of the practical get-up of the
paper. The local columns are we'll ar
ranged and the matter is in very readable
shape. In the editorial greeting it is
said that there is no contemplation to
limit the usefulness of the paper to the
boundaries of Baltimore county. Its
proprietors claim that there is room for
such a paper, and we have no doubt but
what it will be made a go, as its hnan-
| c;al backing is unquestionable.

One day last week. Miss Sophronia
Stokes met with what might have been
a serious accident while driving on the
Deer Creek road, below the Rocks station,
on the Maryland and Pennsylvania rail-
ros.d. A fve-horse team, in a narrow
place, crowded Miss Stokes team so
close to the side that the horse became
frie htened and backed them down the
EN- oankment. The vehicle in which she
and her colored driver were riding was
fortunately without top and the occu-
pants escaped without serious injury.
The horse, however, was badly cut up.
Efficient help was rendered Miss Stokes
by the driver of the large team, whose
services undoubtedly prevented much
| more serious results.
