Mr.. William Fl. Timanus, Of the I'd district

- Towson has become place where sneak
thieves appear to be entirely at liberty to do
exactly as they please. Another robbery was
committed in the town on Tuesday night and
no doubt the perpetrator. feels as secure as
though be was in China. This is very strange,
to say the least.
- When Mr.. Elisha Jackson, of the 10th
district, was on his way to Towson last Monday
morning he saw dead partridge lying by the
side of the road a short distance above Mere
dith's Ford bridge. He thinks some one shot
the bird and then threw it away rather than
run the risk Of arrest and fine.
->SOme of those who made purchases at

->It now looks like the electric line to
Lutherville and Cockeysville is now among
the possibilities, and an 8th district farmer,
who was in Towson on Monday, says he ex.
poets before long to see trolley cars running up
through Worthington Valley to Glyndon, thus
opening up rich and beautiful country.
->The question is now being discussed
whether or not the price of automobiles will
come down. As soon as the enthusiasts tire
of the fad-which they are certain to do sooner
or later-the prices will tumble just as they
did with the bicycle. Then something else will
come along to take the place Of the motor car.
"A large number of horses have already
arrived at Pimlico track for the fall meeting OF
the Maryland Jockey Club. This will be the

IL IF nso D..

sound mind.
- Landowners of this county are continu-
ing to fortify themselves against providing gun
ners by putting up notices against all tres
passers before the cunning season opens next
week. It should be remembered that nom

license for which IS is charged at the County

= Next Thursday night, November LIST, will
be Halloween-a time when the lawless ele-
ment in Towson lets itself ont in the commits.
sion of all kinds of depredations, often causing
citizens loss and damage. Innocent pranks no
one objects to, but riotous behavior should not
be tolerated. An arrest or two will put an end
to the business.
IA big load of hay from Snow Hill farm,
Worthington Valley, was dumped on the pike
in Towson on Monday, caused by the break
ing Of an axle. The tracks of the electric rail-
way were blocked for some time. The hay
had to be loaded on another wagon before the

several months ago tried swindling scheme
on Towson minister, plead guilty in the
Court of Baltimore on Thursday to
ot.o IF cEt Sx1sr .1n~ rclo
pretenses and was sentenced to the penitentiary
for three years. He is 70 years of age and has
at least dozen aliases. He has often served

THE hundreds of maple trees in Towson
are now shedding their leaves and as a result
the lawns. sidewalks and streets are not a
pleasant sight to contemplate. As soon as the
leaves become dry the work of burning them
will begin and the bad smelling smoke emana-
ting from them will fill the houses. In spring
and summer these trees are beautiful, but later
they become not altogether an unmixed evil.
Edward Nelson Chilcoat, the 7-year- old
son of Mr.. Charles M. Chilcoat, farmer near
utter, planted a row of string beans in the
garden early last spring and as soon as they
matured he hulled them and replanted the
beans green. On the second Sunday in Sep
TENDER Edward, who is an unusually bright
boy, had second crop ready for the table and
they were pronounced unusually fine by those
who cal them.

county two years ago-which was also the Con-
gressional election-the table of returns shows
that the candidates for Congress (Messrs. Tai
bolt and Garrett) ran nearly !, 100 votes behind
the Presidential candidates. To be more &C
curate-Mr. Garrett ran 518 votes behind
Roosevelt, while Mr.. Talbot was 575 behind
Parker. This is singular fact and one diff.
cult Of explanation.
"a grizzled man who, forty odd years
ago, was a little red head boy in Dulany's Val
ley-having been taken from the House of
Refuge by a family then living there--came
to Towson on Monday last to look up some old
friends that he had not seen in all those years.
The family with whom he lived, and who later
removed to Hartford county, are now all dead
and he is entirely alone in the world, except
one sister who lives in Chicago.
