->Some time ago Towson Lodge OF Elks
decided to remove the large walnut tree in front
Of their new home in this place. This action
has been reconsidered and the tree will be al.
lowed to remain this year. II it is found that
it does the building no harm it may be per-
mitted to stay permanently.
IA few years ago the County Commits
sioners expended over S.. 900 to macadamize
South avenue. which extends from the York
to the Hillen road. in Towson. Now this fine
road is being permitted to go to ruin in order
to save the outlay of few dollars. Isn't this
the poorest sort of economy?
->At meeting of the stockholders of the
Hartford county fair, held on Monday, 1t was
decided to abandon the fair and sell the grounds.
Fairs have been held there for over thirty
years and il is with much reluctance that they
will be given up. There are rs acres in the
grounds and the site is beautiful one.
4 Two cOlOred men named Carter and
Randall were convicted in the Circuit Court
here on Monday of wrecklessly driving over
small white boy in Govanstown and breaking
bis leg. Judge Duncan gave Carter ten days in
Jail and Randall thirty. This should prove
. warning to reckless drivers on the highways.
THE nomination of Mr.. William p.
Gundry as the Republican member of the
Board of Election Supervisors for Baltimore
county was not acted upon by the Senate, but

means that Mr.. Jarrett N Zimmerman, the
, incumbent, will continue to I'LL that position.
-ClintOn o. Bosley, who has been the
driver for the Towson chemical engine COM
pany for several years, has been appointed
deputy warden of the Jail by Warden Price.
Mr. Bosley is son of the late James A: Bosley,
of Bosley postofice, aud is resident of Towson.

- The stockholders of the Towson and
Cockeysville Electric Railway Company will
hold meeting next Wednesday at the home
of Prof. James S. Nussear, in Lutherville, for
the purpose of electing seven directors for the
company. 1t is thought that this will be the
enterprise to a successful completion.
\ - Many persons think that Sheriff Elliott
is responsible for the disgraceful scenes that
took place at the hanging of Isaac Winder. If
the extreme penalty of the law had been carri-
ed out by him at Z or 8 A NJ. instead of waiting
until nearly IL. there would have been no mob
to have witnessed the scene. A law should be
passed to prohibit public executions in Mary
land
- Although Isaac Winder was hanged on
Friday he was not buried until the following
Monday. In the meantime thousands of his
race and scores of white people were permitted
to view the remains. This was an outrage on
decency for which somebody deserves the most
severe censure. 1t is almost beyond compre-
tension that such things should be permitted
in enlightened communities.

will be added to the Dread estate. Mr.. Wilson
will sell all his personal property on the farm
on Thursday, April 10Th. At the time of its
purchase be was a resident of Louisiana.
- 1t is really foolish to have lot of good
things to sell without properly advertising
them. You cannot get prices unless you have
enough people to make strong competitive bids
People from a distance come to a sale to buy
and seldom go away without doing so, while
the most of the around home folks are lockers
on and often by unjust criticism and voluntary
advice do more harm than good.-EtticoH City
Times.
- Mrs Anita Carroll Mactavish. Elder.Ko-
fod was married in London few days ago
10 Mr.. Eowaro l.. QuarreIs, formerly OF baitl-
more. Mrs Quarrels, who is still quite young
woman, was divorced from the late George
Howard Elder. of Green Spring Valley. She

- The Governor of Maryland has this way
of distinguishing between an ''agricultnrist"
and farmer" says the Hay and Grain Re
porter. At recent public gathering, at which
the Governor made one of bis customary witty
addresses, he said IAN agriculturist is man
