- Through some bunRling on the part OF
postal officials the package OF THE UNION o.
last week, addressed 10 Fullerton. Belair road,
l didn't reach its destination until Monday.
Such lspses are most exasperating and some
body should be held responsible for them:

big ballot 70 handle this year. All the local
Offices are to be filled except the Clerk OF the
Court and Register Of Wills. In addition 70
| these there will be State Senator, members OF

J. The Business Mems Protective Associa-
ftion has been organized by residents of the 18th
district with Mr.. William 81. Lawrence as at
torney. The principal object of the assoca-

tof the tires of all vehicles using the public

WINS now doing service at Glen Arm, but the

latter place are not too well pleased at the So
called improvement. They think they are OF
quite as much importance as the Baldwinites
and deserve better treatment at the hands OF
the company.
THE household effects of the late Henry
d. Perky, on the Fiston Farm, Glencoe, N. c.
r. r., will be'sold at public sale, on the prem
ises on Wednesday, January Both. The sale

1.-The damage suit of Mr.. VIM. r. Ennis,
Of Warren, against the Highways Commission
resulted in verdict for the plaintiff for $5OO.
1t grew out of injury to the property OF Mr..
Ennis through the reconstruction OF the War
for the plaintiff. while Mr.. Osborne l. Yellott
appeared for the defendant.
1.-The fancy Club, of the Baltimore Law
School. did not go to Sweet Air last Saturday
night to debate the Chinese school question,
the weather being too inclement for them to
drive all the way from Towson. Hence the
good things the ladies Of the lyceum had pre-
pared for them had to be eaten by those who
awaited their coming in vain.
flames f. Migan, road supervisor OF the
LIST district, was on the griddle before the High
ways Commission on Thursday, certain charges
having been preferred against him by citizens
of that district. The hearing was postponed

appeared as attorney for Mr.. Migan and Mr.. T.
Scott Offutt for those who oppose him.
THE park tax paid to the city of Balti-
more by the United Railways and Electric
Company for the last quarter was S107 ,6l761.

pany on this account. 1t represents 9 per cent.
on the gross receipts OF all the company's lines
within the city limits. The payment exceeded
that for the corresponding quarter of 1905 by
IS, 076.76.
After the installation of the officers of
Towson Lodge. /. o. o. F., on Thursday night
the annual banquet took place at Tracey's
Hotel Towson, about one hundred members
being present to enjoy it. The affair was in
tended to mark the fifty-ffth anniversary of
the lodge and was also in honor of Mr.. VIM.
Bowen of S., the last surviving charter mem
Der of the lodge.
THE congregation Of Catonsville M. e. /.
Church. Rev. John r. Edwards pastor, will
celebrate the 50sh anniversary of its old church
and the 10th anniversary Of the new one on

THE male residents of Govanstown are
now about to form an Improvement associa-
ton with view to taking hand in the con-
test over the water question and to advancethe
interests of the town generally. The Neigh
borhood Improvement Club OF Govanstown is
an organization composed of ladies and they
have already accomplished much good. The
two associations will, of course, work in har-
m0ny.
- Nordley Farm, in Green Spring Valley,
having changed hands, we will never again
hear anything of the Riggs road case. Mr.. T.
Dudley Riggs fought this famous case through
the courts and finally won II in the court Of
last resort. Strange to say the gentleman who
bought the property was one Of the attorneys
for those who put up such strenuous tight
against Mr.. Riggs. Now Mr.. Cross can have
the diagonal road If he wants it and nobody
will say him nay-provided ne foots the bill.
