belonging to the firm OF which Mr.. J. G.
Rouse is president is nearby, and they

-Lavinia, the six year old daughter of
Mr. and Mrs. John Anderson, who live
on the turnpike, near Bel Air, was burned
to death on Friday afternoon. The
parents of the child were in Bel Air at
the time, the little girl and a brother
two years older, being left alone in the
house. They were playing about the
stove, and in some manner the little
girls dress caught on fire. The boy tried
to put out the flames, and his hands were
badly burned. Their screams brought
Mrs. McCarty, a nearby neighbor, who
succeeded in extinguishing the flames,
but not before fatalinjuries were inflicted.
DR.. Sappington was at once summoned
and started to take the child to the
hospital, but she died before reaching
Fallston. Her funeral took place on
Sunday, the interment being in Rock
Spring cemetery.
The Forest Hill Farmers Club at its
last meeting initiated a movement which
if accepted in the right spirit will mean
Hartford county. 1t is proposed to call
a taxpayers convention some time in the
near future and have frank discussion
regarding local public affairs. Should
other local farmer organizations CO.
operate there is no reason why meet
ing of size and weight could not be held.
If politics is kept entirely out Of mind
and the public needs of our county dis
cussed in a dispassionate manner the in
fluence for good is bound to follow.
There is always wisdom in unison of
thought and as everone has reciprocal
interest in the affairs of his neighbors so
local communities should put every selfish
aim aside and try to reach a common
ground where the good CT all can be con-
sidered
