Children's day services were held last Sabbath
at Clynmalira M. e. Church. The program
was good and well carried out. The opening
song, when the Heart is Young" was well
rendered by the school and appealed to the
hearts of the young by its bright, tingling
ac s Buildinp s IN which ' humber Of
children took part, was an impressive lesson:
Another exercise called the "Daisy Chain, /"

but farmer in this neighborhood owns hen
whose desire to set cannot be controlled. The

milk wagon seat and sets happily and conten-

hitched up and she rode proudly to the rail-
road station and back home again without
any apparent concern over her unusual loco
motion.

Rayville, 9Th District.-A great deal of
comment has been made by some persons who
call themselves Republicans on the manner
in which the Democratic primary meetings
will the Republican primary meetings and
convention be conducted in different man
ner? A half dozen or so people calling them
selves 1.-THE organization" will meet privately
and select the names Of five persons and send
them to Mr.. Laban Sparks, who will have the
tickets printed, and the Republican voters,
who under these circumstances have enough
interest to go to the polling place, will have to
vote these machine.made tickets or not vote
at all.
Your correspondent attended convention
few years ago Gas aspectator) at which one man
made and another seconded nearly every mo-
ton that was made and the machine made dele
cations worked so smoothly that every motion
q -
probably had in mind the following resolu-
tion,' passed for the guidance and coercion Of
the Baltimore county members of the State
Central Committee:
sResolved, That said committee shall in all
meetings, cast the seven votes of Baltimore
county as unit, and any member refusing to
attend the meetings of the committee, or re-
fusing to be bound by the action of majority
of said committee, then majority may de-
clare vacancy to exist and proceed to elect
new member"
That is what call representative Republi-
can government with vengeance, when the
representatives of eight districts of the county
could depose the representatives of the other
seven districts if they differed in opinion from
the majority. Has any party in any state OF
the Union ever got nearer to being bossed to
death than the Republican party of Baltimore
county has been since 1885?

age, but the hay crop will be short. This is
the latest harvest for many years. In 1880
grain was all cut in this section By the 23d OF
June.
Corn is scarcely knee high and the prospect
for an ordinary crop is not encouraging.
