- Many hundreds of yellow slips 60 out
with this issue of THE UNION, and we hope that
those who receive them will not cast them
aside, but give them early attention. Much
extra work is entailed in the making out of
these bills, and this fact should be an additional
incentive to meet them promptly.

- A small pet dog saved the lives of a well
known Baltimore family by barking furiously
when their house became filled with coal gas
one night this week. Some of them were
already overcome, but one of the daughters
was aroused sufficiently to be able to alarm the
neighbors. Just think of this little incident
before you treat dog unkindly.
- The business of getting up clubs to make
purchases of various articles in distant cities is
now becoming quite common. The getter
up Of the club always gets prize and this is
the incentive to the work. Whether or not
the trade pays can only be told by the man or
firm who sells the goods. It's safe to say he's
not in the business for his health. =

- This is the first day of December and the
end of 1906 is already in sight. To many it
has been prosperous and happy year, while
to others troubles and sorrows have followed
in quick succession. But in this particular
1906 differs not one iota from the hundreds
that have preceded it. nor to the thousands
that are to follow. Old Father Time makes
up his record about the same for each 1855 days.
IAN old Baltimore county farmer who
renewed his subscription to The UNION on
Monday said when he was young man and
worked on farm for 81 day his employer
sold his wheat at 81 and $1.50 per bushel.
Now be pays his hands 81 and 50 25 per day
and sells his wheat for 65 cents per bushel. He
thinks there must be something radically
wrong in this and he would like to have it ex-
planned.
- There is an artesian well of wonderful
power short distance west of the York turn
pike and Just north of Queenstown. 1t is on
private property that has been in the market
for some time. The water from this we'll is
said to be of splendid quality and of quantity
sufficient to supply hundreds of families daily.
Is it then not absurd to say that no more water
from artesian wells can be found in this sec.
ton of Baltimore county?
speaking of the apparent scarcity of
partridges in this county well known farmer
says he thinks the birds seek the water in the
fall and go off to the rivers where the under
growth is thicker and where they find better
hiding. He said that last spring there were so
birds on his farm, and although be knows of
none being shot, there are not half that many
there now. This seems difficult of explana-
ton. There may be something in what this
farmer says.
