People in and about Fullerton, Belair
road. are complaining very much about the
depredations that have been committed for the

these law-breakers and if they are caught they
will no doubt experience some hot times.
n 1.-THE will of the late Mr.. Wilson Crosby,

the father Of Mr. w w. Crosby, formerly roads
engineer for Baltimore county, left consider
able estate.
->The season for public sales of personal
property is now at hand and those who
contemplate making sale should bear in mind
the fact that we have excellent facilities for
promptly turning out attractive posters while
an advertisement inserted in THE UNION never
fails to give good return for the money in
vested. One trial of this will convince the
most skeptical.
THE outlook for building in Towson this
year is excellent, and we hope to see many
houses 60 up. There is no end to the good
sites in and near the town and these should
attract people who contemplate building homes
for themselves. And then the town itself has
many advantages not possessed by others, its
healthfuiness alone being one of its strongest
recommendations.

York road line Of cars are complaining about
the service, which they declare to be going
from bad to worse. They say the cars are
bad and poorly kept and that when you leave

should not be on q line with such an immense
patronage as this one enjoys.
