Mr. Thomas Robinson, of near Chest
nut Hill. recently left at this Office letter
of great interest to the older residents of
Hartford county if we were to let the
names become public property. How
ever, we shall keep sacred the secrets
therein contained, although the ardent
wards became his wife, have long since
been numbered with the great silent
majority" Its text and tenor is of the
good old fashioned, wholesome kind, and
if it were not for the reason above stated,
it would be a pleasure to publish the
same so that some of our youths and
girls could learn the earnest, digniied
love-making of our grandfathers and
grandmothers. 1t recalls those days OF
chivalry and makes pleasing contrast
with much of the lighter tlippancy that

On Sunday, an automobile accident
that might have resulted more seriously
occurred on the Bel Air and Rock Spring
road at the foot of the hill near Mr.
Joseph T. Deckman's farm. In descend
ing, the steering would not work and the

party, which included number of young
! girls. No one was seriously hurt excep
Miss Anita Schaeler, of Baltimore, who
was painfully bruised. Miss Mar,
Smith, of baltimore, was badly shaker
up by being thrown some little distance
Miss Gladys Watts was caught under
Meath the machine, but fortunately in tn
gutter. But for this, the weight woul'
, have fallen on her, probably infiictini
very serious injuries. Automohiling
while great pleasure, has its seriou
sides, as those who have ridden in ma
:. chimes can feelingly testify.
