FAIR STOCKHOLDERS MEET.

The stockholders of the Hartford Agri-
cultural Society held a we'll attended
meeting in Bel Air on Monday. Mr..
William S. Forwood, Jr., presided with
Mr.. John B. Hanna secretary.
The financial condition of the corpora
ton was fully set out in the report read
by MIR. X. Harry Webster, treasurer. The
figures have already been made pubic
The sum-up shows an indebtedness OF
about 1000, three thousand of which
is secured by mortgage. The other
$4,000 is to raised by an assessment OF
$50 on each share of stock. A number
of stockholders have paid up and other
assurances indicate that the desired sum
will be forthcoming.
Mr.. William II. Harlan said that he
hated to see the fair go down as it would
be sad blow to the many interests of
the county and he felt that it was worth
at least one more trial. He understood
that the directors contemplated num-
Der of changes all of which would help to
keep the association from mourning
further Indebtedness. He explained the
present assessment; also the resolution to
give a second mortgage to those stock
holders who paid up the required $50.
This payment carries with it free adj
mission to grand stand and quarter
stretch.
Mr.. John G. Rouse gave the reason
for the action of the board Of directors
the last few years in deciding to run the
fair on different principles. AT that time
the enterprise seemed run down and in
terest had to be revived. Last fall
demonstrated that the local people were
again willing to help the fair and it was
now possible to materially retrench ex-
penses. The large trotting purses could
be reduced and other consistent econo-
mics practiced.
1t was understood from those present
that later date for the fair was desira-
bic and the board will probably select
the second week in October. AS more
than usual interest will be taken in the
running races, there will be no trouble to
get good horses.
The following board of directors was
selected: J. Alexis Shriver
Martin E. Ridgely, John S. Young, Viii
liam H. Harlan, J. G. Rouse, w. 5. For
wood, Jr., James Lee, James w. McNabb,

cation

SCHOOL COMMISSIONERS PROCEEDINGS.

The board met in special session or
Monday to give final hearing to the
parties charged with breaking into
Hopes schoolhouse on January 81.
In obedience to summons, Benton
Gross, Upton Almony, Raymond Swift
and William Swift, pupils of Hopes
school, together with their parents and
the teacher, Miss Pearl Price, appeared
before the board.
1t was thoroughly established by the
testimony of Detective O'Donnell and
Miss Price, as also the admissions of the
four boys, that they, under the leader.
ship of Upton AImony, broke into the
schoolhouse and destroyed public prop
erty.
The finding of the board was:
The suspension of Upton Almony from
the privilege of attending any school o.
the county as pupil until such time a:
his conduct shall justify the board in re
moving such prohibition; the reprimand
ing of Benton Gross. Raymond Swift and
William Swift as participants. The par
ents of these boys having assured the
board that so far as their children were
concerned the rules Of school should be
obeyed, the case was closed.
The superintendent was directed tc
send circular letter to the teachers o
the county instructiug them as to tht
disposition of disobcdicnt and insubordi
nate pupils.
Aletter commencing the services of De
tective Thomas P. O'Donnell was ordered
sent to the Baltimore City Police Depart
ment.
The superintendent was instructed tc
communicate with the teachers directing
the careful use of coal.

MOUNTAIN. Feb. 2O.-We still have
snow with US. and during last week
some zero weather. The prospects now
are that we will have thaw. When it
does come there will be trouble, as sew
eral of the main roads are still completely
blocked by immense drifts, and the farm
ers are determined to close their fields
against travel. 1t will take at least two
weeks tC get the roads SO that teams
can pass over them.
Mr. Benjamin Stamford, of Wilma, is
still very poorly Mrs. Hudson Bateman
and Mr.. Everett Carroll are improving
Mr.. !. II. Middendorf. of Wheel, was
taken quite i'll on last Tuesday, but is
now much improved. DR.. J. F. H. Cor
such is his attending physician.
1t is reported that the ]. c. Holdings
worth Wheel Company intend to trans
form the Nathaniel Hollingsworth dwell
ing into store building.
Mr. William A. Wilson has sold the
Jerusalem Mills property to firm in Bal
timore, who will continue the manulac-
ture of -four and feed at this historic old
landmark. The foundation of the pres
ent building was built in 1712, being one
of the first mills erected in Hartford
county.
A recent Hartford Democrat contains
several letters on the question of dog tax.
Over thirty years ago law to place
tax on dogs was enacted by the Legisla-
ture. and so far as my recollection serves
ME was enforced but one year. 1t has
never been repealed, but the law was so
unpopular among the poorer classes of
laboring people, who always keep from
to dogs, that the politicians, especi-
ally those who were seeking the office Of
County Commissioner, were afraid to
have the law enforced, so it naturally
died out A prominent politician of the
first district, some twenty years ago
when the enforcement of the dog law was
mentioned to him, said that if a man in
Hartford wanted an office he had better
keep quiet on the dog question. l think,
iii view OF the fact that there is an urgent
demand by large number Of persons
that something be done to reduce the
number of worthless CANNES which intest
the county, that the statute should be
enforced By so doing, large number of
persons who pay no other tax would be
compelled to either get rid Of some of
their worthless ours or else help support
the public schools, which they are now
receiving the benefit of without any cost
to themselves. The County Commission
ers are sworn to support the Constitu-
ton of the State and enforce the laws
thereof, and they are under the same OBJ
legation to enforce the dog law as the
one against obstructing public roads or
damaging other county property.

DIR. BRAND AND GENERAL NILES.

In a recent issue of the Evening News
Rev. Dr. Brand gives an interesting &C.
count of his visit to Jefferson Davis, when
the latter was confined at Fortress
Monroe The president of the Southern
Confederacy was then in irons-chained
by orders of then Colonel, now General
Miles. The details here related were
published over Mr.. Brands signature in
this paper about two years ago. General
Miles has recently defended his action
and the subject has been the cause OF
much controversy. The article OF DR..
Brand thus concludes:
"The fighting qualities of General Miles
have doubtless won for him the high
station he holds. For these due credit
NAV be given But the instincts of a gen
tleman-such belong in general to our
whose business It's to die
the instincts of true soldier, however
much he may covet high grade, will
not allow him to envy the tone of mind
which enables General Miles, after a
silence of 40 years, to affirm: Il say
positively that there was no attempt to
put any indignity on President Davis. "
What sense of dignity has exalted station
brought to the man ?"

with his means. His attendance on vcstry

loyalty to his rector, and his kindness to the
