AN ANCIENT DOCUMENT.

Through the courtesy of DR.. Martin l..
Jarrett we have had the pleasure OF
examining certified copy made by Court
Clerk Henry Dorsey in 1910, of the re-
port of commission created by act OF
the General Assembly in 1899 to lay of
the election districts of Hartford county
and locate the places for holding elections.
The commissioners were Daniel Thomp-
son, John Barclay, Henry Vansickle,
Jesse Jarrett and Dennis Bond, Jarrett
being an uncle of the Doctors. While
many of the names referred to in the
bounding lines are now obsolete, some
are recognized as old land marks; the
boundary of the first district begins at
David Lees mill on the Little Falls of
the Gunpowder river; the second district
begins lat the road where the first dis
trict intersects the same by the Metho-
dist meeting house" probably Bush
Chapel; the third district begins at
David Lees mill; the fourth district
begins at Ashmeads mill; and the fifth
district begins at Ashmead's mill.
The polling place in the first district is
fixed as "the house now occupied by
William McComas. Abingdon" in the
second at "Col Halls Cross Roads in
Christopher Cunningham's house." in
the third district at Belle Air" in the
fourth district at "Marshalls;" and in
the fifth district Eat George McCaus-
lands house, Dublin.

ANDERSON-ANDERSON
ANDERSON-NELSON.

A very pretty double wedding took
noon at Bethel Presby terian church,
when Miss Nora Anderson was married
to Mr.. Harry Mainford Anderson. of
New Park, and Miss Helen Nelson was
married to Mr. David Ross Anderson, OF
New Park. The bridegrooms are brothers
and are sons of Mr.. and Mrs. John H.
Anderson, of New Park. Mrs. Samuel
STREET. played the wedding march from
Loehngrin as the bridal party entered
the church, which was beautifully deco
rated with ferns and evergreens. The
first couple were married by their pastor,
Rev. F. B. Everitt, of Centre Presby-
terrain church, New Park, and Rev. S. M.
Engle, of Bethel, performed the second
ceremony.
Miss Anderson wore a travelling suit
of brown chiffon broadcloth, with hat to
match, and Miss Nelson wore travelling
suit of dark green chiffon broadcloth with
hat to match. Miss Lula Anderson,
sister of the first bride was her maid Of
honor and Mrs. William Whiteford was
matron of honor for Miss Nelson. They
wore gowns of white net, with black
picture hats.

STICKING AT 1T,

Under the above caption the Ellicott
City Times. whose aggressive editor, Col.
w. S. Powell, has been the inspiring
source ofthe Howard County Seed Show,
discusses the recent Corn Breeders Show
in Baltimore and its effect on Howard
county interests. While their exhibit
was not Judged in competition with
others, because the management claimed
it was not the proper kind of corn, the
general public considered it the finest lot
of corn ever seen and the management
made it an especial award of $26.
The Times continues, The show will
do great deal towards advertising our
agricultural advantages. We thank all
of those who contributed to its splendid
exhibits, and we propose to stick at it
until the farmers are convinced it is to
their advantage to give us their hearty
assistance in such matters. Already in.
gains about Howard county lands are
reaching US, and one prominent gentle
man who has recently purchased a farm
said if he had known Howard county
could raise such corn and fruit as was
exhibited he would have located in
| Howard"
The views expressed above apply with
equal force to Harrord county. At our
coming poultry display seed exhibit can
be easily made and it will do much to
popularize and strengthen the Associa-
ton. Its useless to decline because only
few can win premiums.
From the very fact that only few can
win the inference cannot be drawn that
the other exhibits were~not worthy of a
premium.
Let US hope that even this little bit Of
free advertising will be encouraged in a
county which has so much to show and
no county fair at which to show it.

From havre de Grace.

HAVRE DE GRACE, Dece mber II Our
news this week is all of a distressing
character. Trouble has again come to
the home ofDr. K. L. Pennington through
an accident to one of his boys and this
time of more serious nature than the
brokenleg of one of the twins few weeks
ago. On Saturday afternoon, Hulett,
eleven years of age, fell from some logs at
the Furnace wharf and striking his head
upon a rock fractured his skull near the
temple. Had the wound been a very
little nearer it must have resulted fatally.
AS it is his condition is very serious and
it will be some time before he can be pro-
nourced out ofdanger. Hulettis bright,
lovable little fellow who made friends
easily through his happy disposition and
originality.
About two weeks ago Mr. George
Whidden. whose wife was Miss Ida
Carver, formerly of this city, died sudden
" at his home in Trenton, N. !. Just
after Mr.. Whidden's death the only child,
Clarence, a Young men of about twenty
two, was taken i'll with typhoid fever, of
which he died last Sunday. The double
bereavement coming so suddenly has
been severe shock to Mrs. Whidden and
she is completely Frustrated.
Miss Louisa Herbst, who has lived in
Havre de Grace since she was a child,
having come here from Germany when
quite young. died last Saturday, aged
sixty-two years, Miss Herbst owned
considerable property, which it is said,
has been left mainly to St. Patrick s
Catholic church, Miss Herhst lived en-
tirely alone and is not known to have
any near relatives.
This morning fire broke out in the
house OF Samuel Barnes. at the lower
end of Washington street. 1t is not
known how it started but is supposed to
have been caused by detective fiue. as
it had evidently been burning for some
time in the wall before it broke out. The
fire was promptly extinguished by our
volunteer firemen but considerable
damage was done by smoke and water.

COURT NEWS.

This has been a slow week for measur
ing out Justice in the Circuit Court. The
Jury re-convened on Monday but the
case in which Messrs. Williams and Rob.
inson appear could not be called because
Mr.. S. A. Williams has been detained at
his home for week past by spell of grip
and MIR. Thomas H. Robinson is engaged
in Elkton defending the case of Isaac S.
Lee VS.. the Philadelphia. Baltimore and
Washington railroad and no other cases
were ready for trial.
On Wednesday the jury again convened
with Judge Duncan on the bench to try
the case of Cadwalader VS.. Price in which
Judge VanBibber is disqualified. 1t de-
veloped however that an important wit
ness was dangerously i'll, and has since
died, that the case would probably run
we'll into next week; and that Judge
Duncan was very anxious to be near his
home where one of his childI en- is i'll with
diphtheria, so the jury was again dis
charged until January 6, 1908.

HOME RAISED SWEET CORN,

A bulletin has just been issued by the
Maryland Experiment Station on reCent
Investigations made with reference to
home grown sugar corn for seed, which
is of noteworthy Importance to this
section. In its opening, attention is
called to the fact that little Maryland
stands fourth among the states in the
production of canned corn, packing one
eighth of the whole output of the United
States. The prime reason for the investi-
cation is that most sweet corn planted
in Maryland is grown i'll the New Eng
land states or Northern Ohio, the reason
assigned being the belief that it contains
higher per cent. of saccharine matter
Remembering that several Gamers in
Maryland have built up an enviable repu-
tation by carefully selected home grown
seed, and that seeds, notably corn, will
terminate and do better on their native
soil than any other, the department was
impressed with the Importance of the
question. 1t has conducted exhaustive
experiments, using twenty-nine varieties
of seed grown in seven different states,
and draws the following conclusions
early varieties contain less sugar than
later varieties, notably Stowell's Ever
green, which contains the highest per
cent. of sugar regardless of the place
where grown; and that Mary land grown
corn is not deficient in sugar
The theory that ears whose kernels are
of deep amber color and more or less
transparentis sweeter than one in which
kernels are Opaque and white is not con-
frmed by the experiments, but the theory
that kernels having fine wrinkle are
sweeter than those with coarse wrinkle
seems to be conclusively shown. The
two varieties best suited to ca nners
needs are Stowells Evergreen and Coun-
try Gentleman or Shoe Peg, the bulletin
CHASING the two latter as identical. The
former gives larger yield per acre, but
the latter brings So more per ton and
makes a more desirable canned product.
The experiment further shows that
Crosby's variety is much sweeter than
Stowell's, there being, however. a great
variation in the per cent. of sugar shown
10 the individual ears of each.
The following points are made in
selecting seed;
(a) select ears that have white, rather
than pink or colored silk, because the
kernels will be winter; (b) select typical
ears of the variety grown with small
white cob, because the grain will be
whittier. 1t further shows the immense
loss in sugar which takes place after the
corn is cut and discredits the theory that
a low temperature will prevent this, thus
making it impossible for roasting ears
shipped at a distance to retain their
original flavor even under the most
favorable circumstances.

Last Sunday morning. with three depu-
ties in a small launch, he captured in
Nanjemoy Creek, seven night duck gun
ners, two gasolin. boats, tour sloops,
several canoes and sink boats, and a
number of guns, including one swlvelgun
with six chambers, and one hundred de-
coys. Some of the guns were from ten
to twelve feet long and large enough to
kill one hundred ducks at a time, the
men already having captured ninety fine
ducks, which were also conhscated. The
prisoners were taken before a magistrate
and fined each $50 and SIS costs, and the
guns. boats. game and all the other
paraphernalia were sold, as prescribed

STATE POLITICS.

In a Jew days Hon. Murray Van
diver, Chairman of the Democratic State
Central Committee will send out a call
for a caucus of the Democratic members
of the two houses of the General Assembly
to convene on the evening of December 81
and select the presiding and other officers
to be officially elected on the ensuing
day. 1t is more than probable that Gen.
Seth, of Talbot, will be reelected presi-
dent of the Senate and Mr.. Enos Ray, of
Prince Georges county. will be elected
Speaker of the House. Hon. Carvil d.
Benson who presided over the House with
such eminent fairness and efficiency will
be member of the next House, but with
true Democratic generosity he will not
probably stand for reelection.
Governor Crothers will be inaugurated
on January s, with unusual pomp and
ceremony, and the reelection of State
Treasurer Vandiver will probably follow
the next day. Prospects for a vigorous
business-lke session of the legislature
never were so good before, with every
chance for the Democratic party to make
proud record of good work we'll done.
