Necker, 18th District-The high water
caused by the recent heavy rains damaged the
bridge on the Silver Spring road, between the
Belair and Philadelphia roads, so badly that
the road has been closed to travel. People are
obliged to go out of their way at much incon-
venience in order to get to Baltimore with their
marketing. 1t is hoped the authorities will
give this matter prompt attention.
The Belair road, between Germantown and
Putty Hill, has become simply succession of
mud puddles and gullies and is regular killer
on horses. The farmers pay toll and taxes and
should not be called upon to bear such imposi-
tions. 1t was said lately that the United Rail-
if the farmers and others would form an or
ganization and take over the road. 1t could
be kept in shape at a small outlay and thus
relieve the community of an intolerable
nuisance.
Many people in this section are arranging
for trips to the jamestown Exposition as soon
as the busy season is over.
Last spring William f. Bowen, well known
in this community, was reported to have been
drowned in the Chesapeake bay, but he sud-
denly reappeared here few days ago and his
acquaintance welcomed him as quite lively
corpse. 1t turns out that he has been superin-
tending a creamery in Delaware and he will
return to that State after visit to Jamestown.
The young folks of the neighborhood are
pleased at the announcement that the first
dance of the season will take place at Trem-
per's Hall, Putty HILL on Wednesday evening,
October 9th. A full orchestra will be present
and refreshments will be served. Conveyances
will meet the trolley cars at Overlea. S.

Mr.. Hopes Reconsiders.-The Belair
AEgis of last week said: I'VE are pleased to
state that Mr.. Joseph T. Hopes has made
satisfactory arrangements with his dealers IN
Baltimore by which it will not be necessary
for him to close out his dairy business as he
had fully intended to do. When notified OF
his intention to quit they insisted upon his
naming his own terms on which he would
continue to supply them, and when he had
done so promptly accepted those terms; 1t
would have been one of the most serious blows
Hartford has received in recent years to lose
this lot of high bred stock and business which
they developed. 1t is pretty plain that dairy
men are going to secure better prices for milk,
and if the labor problem can be solved there
will be living in the business of the producer"

To Fight the Shoemaker Road Law
The Baltimore american says that in several
counties a movement is said to be on foot to
effect an organization whose object will be to
renew the attack on the Shoemaker Road Law,
which has been in operation four years and
which has resisted all efforts to amend it. The
latest step is said to contemplate the formation
of the commissioners of the several counties
into a compact body, which will demand OF
the next Legislature an amendment to the law
so that the annual State appropriation of $780,
600 for the improvement of public highways
shall be apportioned among the several coun-
ties. This fund, according to the latest devel-
opment, is to be spent by the commissioners
on public roads, without the intervention of
State supervision. The money can be used in
the discretion of the commissioners, if their
effort is successful, in repairing old roads or in
building new ones. The requirement that the
roadways be of permanent character is not
to be adhered to.
State Roads Engineer Crosby says that while
he had heard of the movement in several coun-
ties he did not believe it would succeed. 1.-THE
law is working admirably" said MIR. Crosby.
81 can see no good reason to change it. We
now have on hand all the work we can attend
TO, while applications for State appropriation
of next year are being received"

Pleasant Hill, 9Th District.-Cool weather
and frosts are giving the farmers plenty of
work. Corn-cutting is at its height. Many
farmers have just commenced seeding. On ac-
count of the heavy yield of small grain large
acreage will be sown in this section. The
apple crop is very fair one and they are bring
ing so cents a bushel with the dealers. On the
whole it has been , very good crop year and
vote the day, which will be set apart for gen.
eral thanksgiving by our Chief Executive. But
ingratitude seems to enter largely into our
makeup and we fail to acknowledge the Oliver
of all good gifts.
Last Sunday morning as Rev. F. B. Emen-
heser was on his way to bis appointment he
was met by young couple who were bent on
business so he had to return to the parsonage
and tie the knot, which seems to be very en-
joyable part of preachers duty, principally
made so by the revenue attached thereto.
The conference of the United Brethren
Church will meet next week at York Haven,
Pa, and one of the happiest preachers to attend
it will be Rev. f. B. Emenheiser, of Rayville
Circuit, as few days ago there came to the
parsonage boy visitor of whom the reverend
gentleman is very proud. twill not only help
to perpetuate the name of Emenheser, but
probably when the father shall have passed the
stage of activity the ministerial list may not
be diminished.
The Georges Creek Farmers Club which
met at Mr.. j. Mentor Hoshalps last Saturday,
Mr. Hoshall is an up.to. date farmer and his
genial companion knows how to entertain
guests, so good time was had.
Miss Agnes Akers, of Baltimore, is spending
a month visiting relatives in this section.
Mrs. John E. Shaver and son have gone to
Baltimore to take in the HomeC Coming next
week.
Mr.. Absalom Baker, who was stricken with
paralysis few weeks ago, has much improved
and is able to move about again.
Mr.. William Ruhl and wife, of Hereford,
were guests last Sunday of Mrs. Ruhls father,
at Fairview.
Rev. H. E. Kemp, of Baltimore, has bought
a farm near Freeland Station, upon which
very fine orchard is located. He expects to

manville.

Club Inspection at Mr.. SCOTS Farm
The last meeting of the Junior Gunpowder
Agricultural Club was held at the farm OF
School Commissioner Frank G. Scott, near
Shawan, 9Th district. The inspection COM
mittee, consisting of Messrs. Calvin D.. Fl
Daniel s. Pearce and T. P. w. France, repof
as follows: ~
ION riding into the place it was evident th!k
the land is in good and high state offertility,
Judging from the fields covered with excellent
grass and luxuriant corn. That which received
special inspection was field Of corn that was
planted on June 10th, owing to the lateness OF
the season. We think good yield will be OBJ
tanned should the frost keep away for two
weeks. The growth of fodder is heavy and
large ears of corn are seen. The crimson clover
sowed in the corn at the last working already
shows well. We were especially pleased with
the new set of alsike clover and timothy which
was being cut for hay. The set is unusually
fine, mating every space of ground.
1.-The granary is well filled with good wheat,
barley and oats. The seven cows and six
younger stock we think well Of, and find the
seven horses we'll cared for, showing their abil-
ity to do the hard work Of the farm. Butter
making being a feature, it is known that the
quality always demands market.
"Mr. Scott is congratulated on taking up
farming again after having rented the placefor
several years, and is commended as formerly
for his qualities as farmer, which will equip
him for a continuation of the pleasure and
benefits which country life affords"

Fire Wall Did Good service.-A fire
broke out in the stable of Schier's Hygeia
Dairy, Mount Vernon avenue and Twenty.
seventh street, about 7 80 o'clock on Thursday
night causing damage to the extent of about
$1,000. Twenty-eight horses were rescued with
difficulty. Five tons of hay and three tons Of
straw were partially destroyed. A fire wall be-
tween the stable and the residence ofMr. Oscar
B. Schier prevented the flames from spreading
to the adjoining property.

Ministers Have Narrow Escape.-The
Baltimore Methodist of Sd instant says: "Our
sympathy is extended Rev. II. w. Burgan,
pastor of Hunts Circuit on the loss of his
splendid horse, which occurred on Wednesday
of last week. Bro. Burgan was driving along
the road near Rogers Station, having Rev: A.
A. Bichell with him. when tree which had
been partly cut through by the road workers
fell across the road striking the horse on thu
head and so seriously injuring him that he ha
to be killed. A branch of the tree struck IT,
dashboard of the carriage, breaking 1t down
and missing the occupants of the vehicle b
only a narrow margin. In fact both were
slightly hurt about the lower limbs. From
visit to the spot and in conversation with
Brother Burgan it would appear that the tree
after being nearly severed at the stump, hao
been left and gust Of wind, catching -
the carriage was passing, blew it over. The
work of telling the trees was being done by the
county authorities who will reimburse Mr..
Burgan for the financial loss, but they cannot
replace Billy to whom his owner was very
much attached"
An accident like that reported above is en-.
tirely inexcusable and those responsible for it
deserves the most severe censure.
