take a day off some time aud come up and see
bow things are being run at the county seat.
- A writer in Baltimore paper wants to
make every farmer deputy game warden in
order to protect cartridges and other birds.
But the plan wouldn't work, because there are
too many among that class who would use
their official position to cover up their own
acts.
- Pleasant Plains dairy farm, east of Tow
son, under the management of Mr.. Alexander
Y. Carr, is doing finely and showing good re-
suits. Mr.. Carr is not only an experienced
man in the business but be is an indefatigable

results.

small thing to you, but the many hundreds
of them that went out mean great deal to US.

THE Mutual Fire Insurance Company

ditioDs. The men who manage its affairs and
whose names are now appearing in an adver

antee of its stability and fair dealing.
- The potato supper" held last Saturday
night. under the auspices of the Ladies' Aid
Society of Fork NJ. e. Church. was a novelty
that was enjoyed by large number of people.
Nothing like it was ever seen in the county

will follow. The net receipts were $50.
THE Kimmelton House, on the Shell
road, Patapsco Neck, owned and occupied by
John Butschkey, was destroyed by fire between
l and O'Clock on Thursday morning. The

cred by insurance A defective fue is sup
posed to have been the cause of the fire.
- Some OF THE UNIONS subscribers at Perry
Hall are having their addresses changed from
Fullerton back to the first named place because
they refuse to pay the price that is demanded
for metal letter-boxes. They say it is an impo-
sition and they will not submit to it. Viewed
from their standpoint the R. F. ID. system is a
fake.
= Mr.. William J. Biddison, who has had
Txos1 aro hla in, tkn k1os \
established an insurance Office at Fairbanks

in Govanstown few days ago, in his S6th year,
was a brother of John K. Harvey, who was

- Automobiles appear to be increasing in
numbers on the roads and we are glad to say
that there are few accidents resulting from
them. If those who use the machines would
observe more care the complaints would be
fewer. The trouble all comes from the wreck
less fellows who somehow seem to be pos
sessed with the idea that the public roads are
their private property.
->Nearly every man who writes newspaper
articles on the protection of game birds in Bal
timore county has different ideas how to 90
oh dosru n Wo afraid THAR ufo
so widely divergent that they will never be able
to get together on any plan. Why not COM
promise matters by stopping all shooting for
two years2 This would give the birds chance
to multiply their numbers
Judging from the large number of bun
dies and mysterious looking packages that ar
rive in Towson by every trolley car the stores
and shops in Baltimore must be making big
money off their country customers. Many
persons drive to Towson, leave their teams here
and then go by electric line to the city to do
their shopping. There must be plenty of
money in the country and the people are spend
ing it freely.
1.-THE new bowling alleys attached to the
hall of Bethany Lodge, /. D. 0. F., at Glen
Arm. are now open to the public and rules
for their government have been formulated
and printed. These alleys will afford
pleasant place of gathering during the long
winter evenings, and the innocent and health
full amusement will no doubt be awaited of by
the entire neighborhood Lookout for flock
of expert "hayseed" bowlers. They're sure to
develop.
-->Twenty-five years ago the York road for
several weeks before Christmas was lined with
country wagons on their way to Baltimore to
sell produce and lay in holiday supplies. Now
there is next to nothing of travel Of this kind.
People still go to the city to buy, of course but
now they leave their wagons at home and travel
by the steam railways that are almost every
where convenient. 1t seems strange that such
great change should take place in the habits
of the people in short quarter of century,
but this is so remarkable that all observers
must notice it.

horsemen in the State and a breeder of fine

Republican candidate for Governor, is sick with
a chronic ailment at his home, The Meadows,
on the Franklin road, Baltimore county. He
is 66 years of age and the aggravated nature of
his illness is for that reason the more serious.
