many good articles that on the experience and
advice of Gen. Fred. Grant, on temperance,
was read with much interest. 1t would not
take Gen. Grant long to decide as to the can

liquor license and drink habit would be settled
very readily if his advice were followed.
Messrs. Editors. will you kindly insert here
the last paragraph of that article Tin October
18th issue) which reads: "Give ME the sober
man, the absolute teetotaler every time. He's
dependable. If / had the greatest appointive

the smallest appointment from me unless he
showed proof of his absolute teetotalism."

Cannot Agree on Price.-It is understood
that the Park Board of Baltimore city cannot
come to a satisfactory agreement with the
property owners east of Patterson Park, and
that it is now probable condemnation proceed
ings will be instituted or the project for enlarg
ing the park abandoned. The Park Board, it
is claimed, considers that the property owners
are holding the property needed at too high
figure. In all about IS acres of land is wanted,
which is held at about STE, 900. About so per
cent. of the property is owned by the Canton
COmpanv.

ask the latter association to cooperate with
them to have the city end of the Hartford turn

The opinion of the majority of those present
was that they should take action by having
the grand jury indict the president of the Har-
ford, Turnpike Company for maintaining a
nuisance; also to inform the Attorney General
that the officials of the turnpike have not
carried out the contract conditions Of its charter.
Some time ago residents had the county part
of the road condemned. With the assistance

succeed by having the tollgate within the

Chestnut Grove Church will take place next
week and the pastor, Rev. William L. Schmal-
horst, will have the assistance of ministers
from other churches. 1t is hoped the members
of the congregation will be prompt in attend
ance. The services will begin at 8 Pm.
The frequent rains have been drawback to
the farmers, who have not been able to do any
outdoor work for more than a week. They
manage, however, to husk little corn between
the showers. Many are suffering with colds
and this is another drawback to work of all
kinds.
The public school house at Sunnybrook has
been treated to coats of fresh paint which add
very much to its appearance. AS rule not
much attention is paid to identifying school
property and this is unfortunate.
Mr.. George LintE, highly respected farmer
of Jacksonville, who was married in Baltimore

and they are receiving the congratulations of
many friends.

How the Leaves Fall.-The manner in
which the leaf fall proceeds in different trees is
noteworthy. The ends of the branches lose
their leaves first in the ash, beech and horn
beam when the body of the tree is still clothed
with bright foliage. The poplars and willows
have an exactly contrary habit, says the Cen
the branch ends are still decorated with few
lone leaves which wave like ragged banners
beneath the November sky. It is remarkable
how tenaciously these last leaves cling to the
tossing boughs. ~.
