KIND WORDS FROM OUR NEIGHBoRs.

With it's issue of yesterday morning,
January 6, the Bel Air 4;gis enters upon
its fiftieth year of existence. The present
owner of the paper, Mr.. John d. Worth
ington, has purchased the largest office
building in Bel Air, and in the spring will
remodel it into the new -I2gis building.
The total amount OF capital invested in
the paper will then be about 1000,
and it's proprietor considers that its Cir
culation justifes this amount of capital.
The management is enterprising and the
field of usefulness is extensive. Hartford
county is one of the largest packing dis
tricts in Maryland; its farmers were pio-
neers in adding this industry to their
agriculture, and the A2gis has been large
ly instrumental in encouraging it, as well
as promoting every movement tending
to secure good roads and all other meas
ures ternalimprovement. Mr.. Worth
ington has been foremost in the effort to
promote oyster planting under the Ha-
man plan, and he is otherwise identified
with many enterprises calculated to pro-
mote the general prosperity. In all these
matters the 4Egis has been nearly al
ways found on the right side. The Sun
extends its best wishes.-Baltimore Sun.

good game for healthy, sturdy young
