| Others soon to go will be Greenwood and Mount

landmarks left, at least by name. This is not
pleasant thought.
- While fishing along Western Run a few
days ago Robert Duncan, son of Mr. George
Duncan, of Cockeysvile had a disagreesble
experience. He was caught in quicksand
and was rapidly sinking when his father res
might have lost bis life.

presented to the School Board at its next meet
ing asking for hearing on the subject of the
81 fho oh coh00l hu;ldinO in,

town that was at first fixed upon.

- While walking on the Northern Central
Railroad tracks near Parkton few nights ago

unmarried.
->Towson Lodge of Elks claims that it has
the most handsomely furnished lodge room in.
Maryland outside of Baltimore city, and no
doubt its claim is valid. It's new building and
furnishings throughout represent an outlay of
nearly $4,000, and, what is best of all, very
small and easily managed debt remains on
the property.
- Mr.. Joseph Schneider, of Highlandtown,
has had his gas company incorporated with
capital of 100000. Col. D. g. Mcintosh, of
the Towson bar, is named as one of the incor-
porators. Mr.. Schneider proposes to furnish
gas at 80 cents per 1000 feet but he is not doing
this be says, to make war on the Consolidated
Gas Company.
1.-The better country roads were overrun
with automobiles last Sunday and the nasty
0dor of gasoline was prevalent almost every
/where. The man who drives horse that is
afraid of these machines is kept in constant
state of anxiety now when he is on the road.
If he gets home with a sound anatomy be may
count himself fortunate.

MIR. A. Wallenhorst, of Baltimore, has
fishing shore on Back river and the house
on it has been robbed many times. Some days
ago he fixed up spring gun at the door and it
wasn't long before he bagged colored man
who tried TO break in. The fellow got load
of buckshot in the arm and the police after
wards captured him by the trail of blood he
left behind.
- Lightning rod sharps are working in
parts of Virginia and no doubt they will trans
fer their operations to Mary land. The scheme
is the same old one Take the job for small
price, get the victim to sign contract and then
change the contract into promissory note for
any amount they please. Any man who could
be fooled by such an old trick as this don't de-
serve any sympathy.
THE Belair Democrat says: "The extent
of the saloon influence in Baltimore county
can be estimated from the fact that there are
1857 applications pending for yearly liquor Ii.
censes If the large part of these applications
are granted, as they probably will be, there
will be every opportunity for our neighbors
across the river to slake their thirst with
reasonable frequency"
"a subscriber to THE UNION at Fallston,
Md. & Pa. Railroad, writes us as follows:
"Will you please discontinue THE UNION ad-
dressed to me as / am on rural route and
three weeks out of four do not get the paper
before Tuesday or Wednesday, and sometimes
not at ALL" This is not much of an adver-
tisement for the r. f. D. and certainly not
pleasing to the publishers.
- Rev. William BATE. pastor of the German
United Evangelical Lutheran Church at Can
ton, on a recent Sunday morning confirmed a
class of 1O4 persons. 1t is significant of the de-
cline of the use of the German language by the
rising generation in the congregation, however,
when SO of the children chose the English
course, while only Is elected to be taught the
catechism and ritualstic work in German.
