- The public schools of Baltimore county
reopened on Monday with large attendance
considering the very warm weather. 1t does
seem that It would be good thing to defer the
autumn reopening until the weather is more
suitable-say about October 1st.
->The late Hartford county grand jury
sharply criticised the Baltimore and Hartford
Turnpike Company for allowing its road te
become unfit for travel, and it is likely there
| will be something doing when the nexl
| grand Jury meets in that county.
- Looks like the B. & o. Is going righi
ahead to build its freight cutoff from Sykes
vile across Baltimore county to point on it,
| to have all the law 1t needs to construct this
| line, which will pass just north of Towson.
Several articles of fancy work in the
household department were lost at the late
county fair, and, perhaps, were taken from
there by mistake. Anyone having these arti'
Giles in possession is requested to inform Mr.
Alex. Mccormick. president, Fullerton, Md.

home.
- The fine trotting horse of Mr.. Dixon G.

in q race at Timonium the last day OF the fair,
is getting along very well and will reco seI;
thought. The horse is at Wiltondale Stock
Farm.
1.-THE sale of the Carter property, at Raspe-
burg, Belair road, on Tuesday afternoon, shows
that real estate in that section of the county
continues to advance in price. The tract con-
tains little less than 80 acres and notwith-

brought $16.375.
- Mr.. Raj Parr, whose country place is in
Green Spring Valley. had small war with
several of his stablemen few days ago and

leave the neighborhood.

will take place at Bauer's Park, Hartford road,
on Wednesday next, September Goth. 1t will
be for professionals" and amateurs" and in

to make the affair attractive.

most widely known restaurant men in Mary
land, died at bis home in Baltimore, on Wed.
nesday, aged ~ years. AT one time Mr.. Levelle
conducted the Smedley House cafe, in Towson.

>Mr. William II. Todd whose farm is on
the Pot Spring road, Al miles north of Towson,

And now the old Perry Hall postoffice
has been obliterated and the mail for many
people in that section of the county will go to
Glen-Arm, about six miles distant. This wipes
another familiar name off the map and Perry
Hall will be known no more forever-at least
by the p. o. Department. This looks almost
akin to an outrage on the people.

several districts of this county on Tuesdays,

changing of the name of their postoffice from
R6whatan, by which it had been known for
moro than half century. The P. o. Depart.

patrons of the Office, it is asserted, and this
they declare to be most arbitrary and unjust

with dozen or more aliases, who. tried his
little game in Towson several months ago and
failed, was operating in Gainesville on We'd
nesday and got small sum of money from
one of the residents. He is still working his
favorite "draft' racket. 1t is very strange
why the police cannot come up with this scamp.

Francis Of Baltimore county, who had an arm
broken.
lit is said the big hog that was exhibited
at the late Timonium fair died while it was
being shipped away from that place in wagon.
The hot weather was thought to have been
too much for it. The owner declared that he
had refused an offer of 81, 500 for the hog while
he was at Timonium. He also said that at one
county fair where he had it on exhibition he
had taken in $500.

"a miles, and he has travelled between fifteen
and sixteen thousand miles.

>It is said that notwithstanding the fact
that more than two-thirds of the patrons of the
postoffice at Reckord, Baltimore county, OBJ
iected the P. o. Department took their Office
away from them and compelled them to SUBJ
NIT to r. f. D. The old idea that the post.
Offices were established for the convenience of
the people does not hold good these days.
They (the people, are absolutely powerless in
the hands Of the present Washington dictators.
