The aegis & intelligencer. [volume] (Bel Air, Md.) 1864-1923, 1905-12-15

. The city of Havre de Grace has APP
pointed a committee to confer in regard
r to the acceptance of the old railroad
: bridge that now connects that place with
y Perrvville No definite action has vet
been taken, but it is hoped that the
!. arrangement can be made, as there
would be many material advantages
growing out of this closer association
between Hartford and Cecil counties.
Under the supervision of Mr. William
F. Hays. a brick walk has been laid around
the court house, and also at all entrances.
The work has been carefully done in a
workmanlike manner and will last life
time The commission could add very
much more to the comfort of the public if
the walks on the sides to the entrance op-
posite the Masonic Temple were extended
to the curb This would make COM
plete Job and cost very little more money.
The Bel Air base ball club will next
season probably become member of the
"Big Six" This organization is COM
posed of half dozen of the best amateur
clubs in the state, and if Bel Air should go
in the circuit it will mean the best base
ball this place has ever seen. Four of the
clubs are from Baltimore City, the only
other out-of-town team being Havre de
Grace. Our boys played splendid ball
last year, and the outlook is even bright
err.
The barn of Mr.. James Galbreath,
near Evansville, York county, caught
fire and was burned on Friday afternoon.
Some men were butchering near the build
ing, but did not notice the flames until
such Roadway had been gained, that it
was not possible to even save a colt,
which was in the stable. Although the
building was over 100 years old, it was
in excellent repair, and had adjoining it
a new silo, which was also burned. The
loss will amount to about So, 900.
Those who are sincere in the support
! of the movement to propagate partridges
| in this county, can now join in an order
for some Kansas quail, to be delivered in
the spring of 1906. Mr.. Henry w.
Archer, of Bel Air, gives notice by adver-
tisement of the price and full particulars
Ifeach community in Hartford would get
together and collectively order n dozen
birds. the result would be amazing. This
seems to be the only way to have any
game for next fall, and there should be
an unselhsh effort to get back the species |
which is now almost extinct.

Making the Most of Ourselves"
from the pen of Rev. Calvin Dill Wilson,
former pastor of the Churchville Presby-
terrain Church, is one of the best young
peoples books that has recently come
before the reading public. Although Just |
issued, it has already had an immense
sale, largely due to its pleasant whole
someness and splendid advice, made up
in an attractive manner. Mr.. Wilson
has achieved much notoriety as a writer
since he left Churchville, and his last
work has brought him more than ever
into the notice of the reading public.
This book makes a most delightful
Christmas gift and should be in the
hands of every young person in the
United States. Not because ofits Juvenile
character, however. as its pages contain
very interesting reading for grown-up
| folks as we'll In an attractive manner,
it tells us how to obliterate the sharp
angles that mar consistent manhood and
womanhood
The county commissioners of Cecil
county have received 81 400 the past
year for taxes LEVIED on dogs. Under the
old practice, the constables collected the
money, and but from 5000 to $500
year had been turned over to the COM
missiouers. Now the tax is paid in
directly. 1t goes towards maintaining
fund for the purpose of reimbursing
farmers who lose sheep killed by dogs.
Until the present year the sum has been
insufficient, and claims FIVE years back
had been on file. This year, all have been
paid, and there is now a balance of 1920
on hand. The enforcement of the law
had beneficial effect in getting rid of
worthless ours, which has resulted in less
sheep being killed by dogs. 1t is said
sheep are the roaming, worthless ones
without owners. Hartford county has a
dog law, which while not quite so
effectual, is an exceedingly proper meas
ure, and the county commissioners should
see that it is enforced.
