Jacksonville and Sunny 10th Dis
trict The snow which fell on the 18th inst,
and which was the first of the season, afforded
much pleasure to the young folks. but regrets
are expressed that the mild weather following
it caused it to disappear so rapidly from the
roads. But we may have plenty more before
the end of February.
The icy condition of the roads resulting from
the melting snow has kept the blacksmiths
very busy, as teams could make no Roadway
unless the horses were "roughed." This work
makes harvest for the smiths.
Mrs. Schmalhorst, wife of the pastor, and
the other ladies of Chestnut Grove Church, are
preparing for treat for the children of the
Sunday school. A beautiful Christmas tree
has been selected and all are looking forward
to the event with much interest and pleasure.
The affair will take place in Sweet Air Hall,
Friday evening, December 10Th. The doors
will be open promptly at o'clock and no adj
mission will be asked but every body will be
welcome. A small entertainment will also be
given to add to the pleasure of the occasion.
Ushers will be on hand 10 seat the audience.
The farmers of this section are enjoying
rest and looking forward to the holidays with
pleasing anticipations. OwiDgto so much fine
weather during the fall they were able to get
their spring work well advanced Most of
these men have finished their butchering and
now have well stocked larders.
Housekeepers are actively preparing for the
holiday season and they will not be found
wanting when the time for dispensing good
things arrives.
Miss Mary Jackson is suffering from the ef-
fects of a severe cold which confines her to her
home.
Mr.. Howard Jackson, who now has employ
ment in Baltimore spent last Sunday with his
parents, Mr.. and Mrs. James Jackson, near
Jacksonville.
Miss Edith Green led the Young Peoples
Christian Endeavor meeting at Chestnut Grove
last Sunday night.
The health of this locality has been excep-
tionally good, but the physicians should not
grow respondent over this fact. After the
holidays they will no doubt have plenty to do
as the result of high living. One doctor was
heard to say that if he didn't get case pretty
soon he didn't see how he was going to buy
Christmas present for his best girl.
Mr.. Perry Carroll, the obliging Jackson
vile storekeeper, has been doing an excellent
business right along but just now the pressure
on him is much stronger than usual owing to
the approach of the holidays. His genial man.
ners have made him many friends in the
neighborhood. M.

to have a milk exhibition next spring. The
affair will be on large scale and will have
special bearing upon the danger from tubercu-
losis baclli in milk, although the exhi bits will
cover a much wider field than this alone. The
exhi bition is to be given under the auspices of
he State Board of Health. and, according to
tDr. John s. Fulton, of the Board, nothing like
it has ever been seen in this country. great
milk exhibition was held in Paris the past
summer, but this show was OF an industrial
rath er than a medical nature.
The Maryland exhibition is intended TO I'M
press the people of.the State with the necessity
of having pure milk supply. All the stages
in the production, storing and transportation
of milk will be shown, from the time that 1t is
taken from the COW until it reaches the con-
sumner. A variety of photographs will show
the conditions under which the dairy business
is conducted in Maryland. The action OF ba-
cilIi, both healthy and unhealthy, will be
shown in great detail, with enlarged micro
scopic slides and in other ways. The germs
that produce Tactic acid and caseln are to be
typhoid-fever and tuberculosis bacilli, which
are so frequently found in milk and which,
conveyed in this medium, prove to be fruit
full source of infection.

We Don't Believe & Word of This.-Ac-
cording to DR.. Luther Gulick, the well known
specialist in educational matters the city boy
has better chance for health than the boy
whose early life is spent on farm, says the
Baltimore american. The city boy is said to
get better food for one thing, and in addition
so much more attention is given to sanitary
conditions in the cities than in the farming
districts, and so much care is taken by the city
boards of health to prevent diseases that ire
quently have full sway in the country that the
city boys powers of resistance are becoming
greater than those of the boy in the country.
With the ever-increasing use of machinery in
farm life less physical activity is required, too,
of the farmers boy, and his life is becoming
more and more sedentary. On the other hand,
the gymnasiums and the attention given in the
city schools to physical training offer oppor
tunity for all-round physical as we'll as mental
exercise, and give the city boy more of chance
for the development of sound mind in a
healthy body than is usually enjoyed by the
country boy. As consequence of these adj
vantages which city life offers to the growing
youth over that afforded in the country dis
tricts, DR.. Gulick predicts that the strong,
healthy men of the coming generations will
be those reared in the city rather than in the
country.
Mr.. Lea Makes Good Showing.-Mr.
Thomas ]. Lea, farm manager at the Sheppard
Pratt Hospital, near Towson. raised this year
480 bbls. of corn (weight) on 80 acres of land
It was planted late in May and neither thinned
nor replanted. The field in which this corn
grew has 100 apple trees in it and has woods on
two sides.
During the year 1905 Mr.. Lea killed for the
institution 81 hogs that dressed L, 1897 lbs. of
choice pork. ALI of these hogs were from to
months old.
Claims Stream is Polluted.-Mr. Edward
N. Rich, attorney for the Denmore Land Com
pany, has filed bill in the Circuit Court here
against Patrick Martin and B. G. McAndrews,
trading as Martin & McAndrews. The plain
| tiff claims that stream which passes through
| its property is polluted by sewerage from the
Gentlemen's Driving Park, which is conducted
by the defendants, and asks that an injunction
| be granted restraining the alleged pollution.

The Maryland State Turnpike Associa-
tion.-At the annual meeting of this associa-
ton, (Which is composed of the owners of turn
pixies in several counties of Western Mary land, J
held in Hagerstown few days ago, President
Hargett, of Frederick, delivered his annual adj
dress, in the course of which he said:
Having considered the relative importance
that attaches to turnpikes and how their inter-
ests may be advanced legally and justly, and
without prejudice to conflicting interests of
any of the citizens of the State, this annual
meeting by our executive committee has been
called.
'.The men who put their money and thought
in lettering the condition of humanity by in
stituting the construction of better roads were
blessings to the age in which they lived and
deserve rightfully of us our everlasting esteem.
Their agitation and work was the beginning of
the evolution of our excellent and equitable
turnpikes of today, and yet there are many
people one-sided enough to think that the
turnpikes which we repsesnt have no rights
worthy to be respected, and that the money
expended by our forefathers for the general
good and which interests have descended to
their sons, should be con6scated Or if not,
made abortive.
mo industrial corporation is so hedged in
earnings by legislative enactment as the turn
pixies of Maryland. Toll cannot be charged on
any turnpike that will make its earnings in
excess of s per cent. per annum on its capital
stock. Many pay little or no dividends and
but per cent. and yet the aim and object of
the hog-en man is to abridge the right of the
most equitable system of bodybuilding ever in
troduced; equitable, in that the man who pays
toll travels the road and usually the man
travels the road whose AUDITING property is
most enhanced by the road, with the excep-
ton, however-but growing frequent and here
to stay-the touring Automobiles, who, gen.
orally speaking, wants fine thoroughfare,
and dashing at excessive speed, looking the
green-eyed monster that he often is, disregard
ing the rights of the humble peasant and far
mer alike, with the turnpike company, en-
velopes himself in q cloud of dust, rushes the
gate, and, if the pole happens to be down, and
if the desperate, in his efforts to beat the gate
sustans Injury, attempts to seek redress from
the courts To check this evil with others, and
to enlist the sympathies of justice loving peo-
pie is the work of this association"
Among the resolutions passed by the associa-
ton was one reaffirming its adherence to and
support of the present law limiting the speed
of automobiles, as passed by the Legislature of
1904, and directing the associations legislative
committee to use all efforts to prevent any
change looking to an increase in the speed rate.
Another resolution was adopted condemn
ing the "specious scheme known as the Shoe.
