t. IF. Sappington caught on fire. it being
! the second alarm that day. The depart

The damage was slight.
Mr.. Charles c. Forwood, brother Of

ing at that place. The ceremony was OF
aquiet nature, owing to the recent death
of the groom's mother Mr. and Mrs.
Forwood have gone on an extended bri-
dial trip. The groom is conductor on
the Pennsylvania railroad =
The fire in Changers Hotel in Bel Air
on Thursday OF last week almost wrecked
the interior of the building. Thszroof
will have to come off as the rafters are
practically burned away. The Ceilings
are soaked with water or charred with
smoke and flames. The owner now has
excellent opportunity of undermining
this hotel thus making it more in touch
with the progressiveness of the times.
The Havre de Grace Ledger suggests
the ACCESSIBILITY of naming its park the
Genealogical Garden, because the local
machinery of the milk industry OF. that
city runs at large over the streets and
public squares at will. BelAir long ago
made the progressive step compelling tie
owners of cows to keep them pff, the
thoroughfares. This is not aEserious
hardship, however, as we are too pro-
gressive to let grass grow in our streets
anyhow.
Mr. Edward A. Stockham, of near
Perryman, has been elected president of
| tho Fret National RopLJ Of port DaDos;t
succeeding Mrs. France, former widow
of the late Jacob Tome. Mr. Stockham
represents large landed and packing in
terests in Hartford county and also owns
considerable property in Camden, New
Jersey. He is rated as one cf our best
citizens, and his personality will add to
the present prosperity of this financial
| institution.

and noted authority in her speciality,

October %, of THE Bible Land, It's
People and Customs" This service will
be illustrated by various oriental CO.'S
tunes and matters peculiar to the people
of Palestine in Christ's day Miss Oleil
has spoken in the largest churches in our
land to the great edifcation and delight
of Christian people.
We call special attention to the adj
vertisement of N. Hess and Sons, which
appears in this issue AS their card
states, they have hundreds of customers
in Hartford county all of whom can
testify to the reliability of their goods.
Hess shoes are the synonym for style,
quality and durability, and there is no
reason why intending patrons should
not give them trial and test for them
selves the satisfactory experience of so
many Of our residents.
Mr.. Thomas H. Robinson, of Bel Air,
counsel to the Shelhsh Commissioners
has recently given an opinion which has
great generalinterest. The Jesuit Fathers
own large tract ofland in st. Mary's
county; $50 acres of which has been SUBJ
merged since the time of its patent in
| 1867. The question is whether the land
underneath the water belongs to the
state or its original owners. MIR. Robin
son says that it is the property of the
state and can be leased for oyster pur-
poses. .

convention, which was held in Baltimore

was great gathering, requiring three
churches to accommodate its meetings

A trained chorus of 300 voices furnished
music, and Governor Warfeld presented
diplomas to 65 graduates and delivered
them an admirable address. The Mary
land Sunday School Union is doing good
work and deserves generous support.

The Bel Air Electric Light Company
has issued notice that it will advance
its commercial rates on and after the
first of November. This action of the
company is meeting with but little en-.
couragement, as there is a universal feel
ing that the present service should show
material Improvement before a higher
r price for the work is asked The Bel Air

more satisfactory illuminate both for
the streets and the houses before it can
