Monkton, N. OR. R.-The second annual

Monkton, N. @. r. R.-The second annual
picnic, under the auspices ofthe farmers clubs
of Baltimore county, was held at Mt. Carmel,
on Saturday last. A large crowd was present
and both political parties were represented,
but it was conceded to be Republican day, as
their candidates were out in force and Mr..
George II. Gather, the nominee for Governor,
was kept busy meeting the farmers, their
wives, mothers, daughters and sweethearts.
He met them as genial, polished gentleman
and won their good wishes for his success.
irrespective of party lines. The exhibits from
farm and garden attracted attention and
the Manor came in for its share of attention
through the corn show from the farm OF Mr..
VIM. d. Curry who is said by member of
the Experiment Station to have one of the best
fields of that crop in Maryland.
The address of President r. W. Sylvester, of
the Maryland Agricultural College, was en-
loved by all the throughtful farmers present,
as it was logical and to the point:
The Manor school opened on Monday, Sep
TENDER 18th, Miss Frances Cole, teacher, with
an enrolment of q scholars.
An illustrated lecture was given at st James
Guild Hall, on Sunday evening last. Subject
THE Entrance of Protestant Religion on
American Soil at Jamestown, Va, 1907" The
early Bishops of the Episcopal Church were
shown, with the old church, or what is left
standing now at jamestown, and the COM
munion service which is still in use at Bruton
Parish, Petersburg, Va.
If this should meet the eye of the chicken
thief who last Saturday night visited the hen
roost of Mr.. Walter Hutchins and carried off
25 young frying chickens-in fact picking out
all the large ones in the brood-let him take
warning that supply of shells has been Sc
cured and be will meet something more harm
full than mere words, which did not pierce his
thick skin.
The party of Manor ladies that went to
jamestown last week has returned to their
homes, much pleased with the trip. Mary
land Day was much enjoyed. The addresses
by Gov. Swanson, of Virginia; Senator
Whyte, of Maryland, and Col James r. Ram
DALI author of Maryland, Ny Maryland"
were inspiring. Maryland's "grand old man"
was eloquent and considering his age wonder
ful, while Gov. Warfield was, as usual, charm
ing and most cordial to everyone:
All the buildings are beautiful the State
buildings particularly attractive. An interest
ing exhibit to your correspondent was Bible
box over 200 years DID, in which the Bible was
kept when books and printing were rare.
The box is square. of black wood, or wood
dark with age, and rested on a table of the
same material. 1t is not ornamental, but sug-
gestive of endurance and fit covering for
book whose teachings has so well endured the
test oftime and the many attacks made uporit.
A Mems Club will be organized on Friday
evening of this week at Guild Hail. by the
rector. Rev. s. A. Potter. All have been invi-
ted to be present.
A picnic will be held by the Sunday school
at Clynmalira M. E. Church, on Saturday
afternoon of this week. Mr.. Alexander Guth-
RE is superintendent of the school. These pic

by the young folks as well as by the older ones
of the neighborhood. II.
