| and best methods. A NUMBER OF special
lists will make addresses and there will
also be Maryland speakers. Each Sun
day School in Hartford is entitled to send
two delegates.
The general merchandise firm of T. l..
Hanway and Company, at Aberdeen has
made a settlement withit creditors upon
% per cent cash basis. At meeting
of the creditors held in baltimore, a
statement was submitted, showing
SAG, 900 liabilities, of which Sc 600 was
owing for merchandise, $4,000 to the
bank of Aberdeen, 81 900 20 clerk and
ty. The balance is for notes given in the
canning business. The net estimated as
sets are 81 1000
The recent railway rate law makes it
very hard on the tramps who have been
stealing rides on freight trains. 1t is
said that the government will require
strict enforcement of the law, which pro-
hibits anyone from riding free, unless he
is an employee. Wehope, however, that
this enforcement will be done at the ex-
pense of the government and not Har-
ford county taxpayers, who, up to n year
ago, had been compelled to foot large bills
for the transportation of these men to
the House of Correction.
Mr.. Howard Cronin, son of Mr.. B.
Frank Cronin, of near Wilma, has been
elected a member of the faculty OF one of
the largest mining schools in the United |
States. This school is located at Golden, |
Colorado, not far from Denver. Profess |
sor Cronin graduated from the Bel Air
Academy and Graded School a few years
ago, and two years ago was in the list |
of graduates of Armours Polytechnic
Mr.. Cronin earned the money to pay his
expenses Hartford should feel proud of
this rising young son.
Mr. George 0. Foard, of Federal Hill,
packed over five years ago some green
tomatoes, which were Redeemed with
artificial coloring. This was to fill
special order of a broker, who after
wards refused to take them, and Mr..
Foard has kept several cases in his can
ming house. The cans, although very
rusty on the outside, sho we'd bright in
terror when opened and the fruit was in
no way contaminated. 1t is strange to
say that time has entirely absorbed the
coloring matter and the fruit is as green
as when it was put in the cans.
Mr.. w. Beatty Harlan has invited
DR.. Milton Whitney, chief of the Bureau
OF Soils, United States Department of
Agriculture, to make an address before
the next meeting of the Deer Creek Far
mers Club, which will meet at his home
on Saturday afternoon, September 30,
at o'clock. DR.. Whitney will advance
some new ideas regarding the test of
soils, looking to the use of the proper
kind of fertilizer, and the proceedings of
the club will have more than usual inter
est to our readers, who doubtless will
gain some ticalinformation that will
hereafter save them money.
Rev DR.. Arthur ]. Smith, the we'll
known evangelist, was cordially received
in Bel Air last Sunday. He preached two
his congregations were made up from
citizens of Bel Air and vicinity from all of
the walks of life. After the services i'm
promptu receptions were held, and he
personally greeted a large number of
friends. DR.. Smith, since he left Bel Air.
has been engaged in evangelistic work in
New York city, and has arranged fall
and winter campaign that will take sew
eral months to carry out. He appreciated
his reception here and has promised to
make another visit when opportunity
permits.
The Baltimore and Ohio Railroad
Company has completed its surveys for
the cut off road, which it is said, will be-
gin at Sykesville and come through
Pikesville, striking the territory south of
the Green Spring Valley. 1t crosses the
Northern Central at Sherwood, running
northeast of Towson, and connects with
the Philadelphia branch near Joppa.
This road is being built under the general
authority granted the Baltimore and
Ohio railroad previous to the adoption
of the constitution in 1851. Its claimed |
that under its regulations, the company
can build branch railroads whenever it |
sees fit without any additional enabling |
powers from the legislature.
Five suits have been docketed in the
Superior Court of Baltimore City, |
claiming in all damages for $4,000 |
against the Mayor and City Council and |
James Wallace Broumel, of Bel Air. The |
cause for these actions is the alleged I'M
sanitary condition of lot of ground
near Pulaski street and it is claimed that
the death of William Harlan Miles and
the illness of James w. Miles and his wife
was caused by the fact that the lot be-
came nuisance, and a menace to the
health of the people in the vicinity. 1t is
claimed that the city should have abattd
the nuisance The death and sicknesses
complained of were from diphtheria,
which the plaintiffs claim was eau. ed by
the stagnant pool of water.
In spite of the effort of some of our
LEGAL press to hammer prices-why we do
not know, for the more money that
comes into this county the better the
chances for each one to get his share-the
tomato market has gone steadily upward
for the past ten days. Although the
| syndicate has been selling tomatoes free
| ly, it is safe to say number standards
are worth S212 cents and number 2 are
worth 6712cents. We wish the calamity
howlers would stop for a while and give
Hartford packers and growers oftomatoes
a little chance to recover from the recent
serious blow, which has almost staggered
the community. 1t is not fair to unduly
misrepresent things in order to bring
about rise in the market not justified
by facts, but when there is an opportun-
ity to let some people get whole by a
market that goes up in spite of all efforts
to put it down, we think there ought to
be enough decency left among some of
our own people to let things take the
| usual course
