pay is the cause. 1t is likely the fair grounds
will be sold.
l. - Perhaps we shall be riding to the limo
n MUM fair this year on electric cars. This
4 would swell the crowds at that popular pleas
ure resort and put big money into the pockets
4 of the railroad company. Let rs have the line
by all means.

| high school building to be erected at TOwsOn

- March appears TO have tried itself in the
way of weather, there having been very few

that month is not too encouraging.

h - Marshal Street, went to York, Pa, few
Y DAYS ago thinking he had clue to John Gard
ner, the colored horse thief who escaped from
Towson Jail few days before Winder got out,
but be failed to learn anything of the fugitive.
Gardner seems to be about as slick specimen
as Winder.
\ THE Winder business developed a sur
prising number of cranks who seized the OPP
portunity to air themselves through the
columns of the daily newspapers and also to
annoy the Governor with their silly letters.
Let us hope that the whole thing is ended now
for good and all.

necessary that such mandates of the law are

hanged here-not necessary to mention the
II number-have been colored men and only one
| (Winder) for murder.

basement half above ground. The new struc1
ture will be handsome improvement to that
part of the town.
