Miss Myrtle N. Proctor, daughter of
Mr.. and Mrs. J. B. Proctor, of Cardiff,
and Mr. Clayton Lowe, son of Mr.. and
Mrs Laban Lowe, of Fawn Grove, were
quietly married at the parsonage of
Slate Ridge Presbyterian Church on
Wednesday of last week by Rev. A. Lewis
Hyde. The ceremony was witnessed BY
only few relatives and friends of the
bride and groom. The bride was gowned
in brown broadcloth, with hat and
gloves 20 match. Immediately after the
ceremony they left on a wedding trip to
Jamestown and other points south.
Mrs. G. Smith Norris, of Bel Air, who !
went to Norfolk last week as delegate |
to the convention of the Daughters of the
Confederacy and to visit the Jamestown !
Exposition, had the misfortune within
two hours after her arrival to make a
false step, causing her to fall and break |
her right arm and dislocate her shoulder. |
Under the circumstances there was moth
ing for her to do but have her wound |
dressed and return to the comforts of her |
own home as promptly as possible with
out having seen her friends orentered the !
Exposition grounds. She is at present |
doing as we'll as could be expected. Mrs. |
Norris, in much the same way, broke her |
left arm about year ago.
The residence of States Attorney |
Sitter barely escaped destruction by fire
on last Saturday night. During the night |
Mrs Sitter was arousedtrom sleep by the |
sound of breaking glass, and knowing
the habit her cook had ofplacing burn
ing lamp near her bed, she FASTENED to
the room to find that in her sleep the
woman had knocked the lamp to the
floor. Already dress and the mating
were consumed aud the floor had caught
fire, but by the prompt use of Minimax
fire extinguisher the flames were put out
before further damage was done. 1t was
certainly a close call and should be
warning to all who have the habit of
placing a lighted lamp near the bed
while sleeping.
The Howard county corn show which
was such a success year ago is to be
repeated at Ellcott City on November
IS, % and 80 when poultry show will
be added to its attractions. We learn that
the date of the Hartford county poultry
show has already been fixed for January
/ 5 and 6, and it would seem that seed
show would be an especially attractive
addition for the management to make,
thus broadening the usefulness of the eX-
hibition and in small way taking the
place of the agricultural fair which so
many of our citizens sincerely miss. The
first essential III successful agriculture is
the selection of seed and this would be
an excellent opportunity for this to be
done in leisureIy scientific way.
Mr.. Edward A. Wilson, of Pylesville,
has been appointed School Commission
er for Hartford county by Governor War

ford, especially those in the fifth district

! of life, possesses that good judgment
and firm but equable disposition which
are Indispensable in a school commits
sioner, and during the past year has

"A laca! law for Baltimore county
provides that it is unlawful to hunt any
rabbits on Sunday. election day or when
the ground is covered with snow. Penalty
S. a head. 1t is unlawful for any person
not q resident or taxpayer OF this county
to shoot rabbits without license, the
license 70 be good for one year and to
have photograph of licensee attached.
License or written privileges of land
owners shall be exhibited when required,
the license fee for non-residents being So.
There are features of this law which
commend themselves to landowners OF
this county; it is cruel and unsportsman-
like to shoot game when struggling
against the hardships of severe weather,
and it is burdcnsome to landowners to
have their property almost contiscated
by irresponsible strolers and outsiders
whose interest in our land extends only
to what they can appropriate therefroI
l for their own benefit
An interesting program has beer
issued for the tenth annual meeting O
