Corn Show At Calvert.

The Calvert Agricultural High
School will hold corn show about
the middle of January. Samples
from all parts of the county are
desired in competition.
Farmers are requested to select
ten uniform ears of corn and send
them by the second week in Jan
uary, to Prof. H. O. Sampson,
Calvert, Md, where they will be
placed on exhibition at the corn
show and judged by competent
judge from U. S. Department OF
Agriculture.
1t will be an honor to get the
blue ribbon at this show, as the
best sample will be taken to Balti-
more, and placed on exhibition at
corn exchange.
At the recent State corn show at
Baltimore, not one sample was
shown from Cecil county. We
know that this county raises just
as good, if not better corn than
that raised in any other county OF
the State. Let US then show what
we do raise by sending sample OF
ten ears to be judged at the coming
corn show.
If more convenient, samples may
be left with the following persons:
Geo. A. Blake, Elkton; Geo. 0.
Carey, North East; Cecil E. Ewing,
Rising Sun; Earle Anderson, Blake;
Fl. G. Kidd, Calvert; H. w. Cald
we'll, Chesapeake City; Alfred
McVey, Pleasant Hill; s. q.

MaryIand,s Canned Corn.

Bulletin No. 120 of the Mary
land Agricultural Experiment
Station states that Maryland
stands fourth in production of can
ned .corn. She packs annually
about one million cases-two dozen
cans to case-or about one eighth
of all that is packed in the United
States. Most of the sweet corn that
is planted in Maryland is grown in
the New England States and in
Northern Ohio. The reason for
this is, the farmers believe seed
from the North will give sweeter
product than the home grown.

CIRCUIT COURT

The suit of Isaac s. Lee, of Har-
ford county, against the Philadel.
phia, Baltimore and Washington
Railroad Company, for $4,000
damages for the destruction by fire
of his saw mill,y warehouse and
residence at Perryman, alleged to
have originated from spark from
a shifting engine in May, 1906,
came to a close Thursday evening,
of last week when the jury rem
dered a verdict in favor of the
defendent-the railroad company.
The case occupied the Court eight
days.
Thursday at an evening session
the case of State VS.. the Philadel.
phia, Baltimore and Washington
Railroad Company, indicted for
obstructing the Old Post Road at
Perryville, was taken up, the
counsel for the Company, Messrs.
L. M. Haines and Fred T. Haines,
electing to have the case tried be-
fore the Court. Mr.. Squier for
State.
The case occupied all Friday,
including an evening session from
Z to II. 80 p. m. and was concluded
on Saturday, when it was argued.
The cause of action is an attempt
by the County Commissioners to
force the Railroad Company to
abate ana alleged nuisance caused
by three piers of their new bridge
across the Susquehanna obstructing
Broad street in the town of Perry
vile, or what was originally the
Old Post Road, and also obstruct.
ing the landing and preventing
access to navigable water at the
point where the said Broad street
touches the water's edge. The
County claims that the Old Post
Road is by act of Assembly created
60 feet wide and brought in as
evidence an old plot of the Stump
farm in which the road is scaled as
60 feet wide; and also that one
pier and an embankment of earth
obstruct even a 30 foot road.
The Railroad Company claims
that in all negotiations with the
County the road was considered so
feet wide, and further that their
plans had been submitted to the
Secretary of War, the chief of
Engineers for the United States
Government and the Board of Pub.
lie Works for the State of Mary,
land, and has received the approval
of each of these authorities They
further claim that the bridge was
built according to the plans ap-
proved, that they have complied
with the law and the piers are not
an obstruction to the so foot road.
The argument in the case was
concluded Saturday at three o'clock,
but the verdict of the Court will
not be rendered until after Christ
mas recess.
Court then adjourned until Mon.
day, January 6, 1908, at 10. 80 a. m.
