ship for the conduct of a poultry plant
on a large scale. it will be located on a
portion of Berkeley farm and stocked
with 1 0Leghorn chickens, They look
to catering to the New York and Phila-
delphia market for early broilers and
eggs throughout the year. Mr. Stabler
is thoroughly experienced in the business
and is now conducting at Berkeley on his
own account a successful poultry farm,
having at this time nearly 800 young

"A unique and interesting entertain
meut was given by Miss Irene Bagley,
superintendent, and the scholars of Union
Chapel Sunday school last Saturday
evening 1.-THE Afternoon Tea" was &C.
ceptably portrayed by Misses Grace
Hardesty, Bertha Magness, Winona Nc
Comas and Ethel Bagley. Other pleasing
numbers were The Doll Hospital"
Sweet and Low" Miss Ethel Bagley,
soprano, and Cleveland Archer, bass; "a
Portrait Story of Ye Olden Times" Miss
Grace Hardesty; play, "What Allied the
Cat" tableau, "Playmates." The doll
drill was enchanting. Ten little girls
sang lullabys to their pets during their
pretty little drill.
The Bel Air exchange of the Chesa-
peake and Potomac Telephone company
is again seriously taxing its popularity
with the public by compelling the sub
scribers to call for local numbers. This
was tried about year ago and aban-
doned because fits evident uselessness.
1t is all right to require numbers where
there are from fifteen to twenty thousand
phones, as in Baltimore, but the absurdi-
ty is so manifest when we consider the
few in Hartford county, that we hope the
company will at once recall this rule.
There is no use, however in making an
argument with the operators, asst is not
their fault Aim the criticisms at the right
parsons and do not hesitate to let them
know the discomfort that they are un-
necessarily subjecting each subscriber to.
Miss Mae T. yesterday, of Burkets-
Vile Frederick county, and Mr.. Chas. ".
Walker, OF Pleasant vile, were married at
the parsonage of Jarrettsville M. E.
Church ON Wednesday evening of last
week. Rev. R. S. Barnes performed the
ceremony. The wedding march from
Lohengrin was played by Mrs. Charles
Lanham Among those present were
Rev. and Mrs. R. S. Barnes, Rev. and
Mrs. Charles Lanham, Mr.. John
Walker, Mr. and Mrs. McLaren
Spencer, Mr.. and Mrs. Barclay Tucker,
Mrs. Carvil Amoss. Mrs. James Waters
Misses Edna and Annie Walker, Ethel
Waters, Loula and Myrtle Amoss, Ada
Dixon, Gladys and Edith Barnes, Messrs.
Milford Walker, Paul Waters, Mr..
Barnes, Clifford McVey, Edward Munni-
khuysen and Winfield Dixon. After the
congratula tons of their friends, the
young couple left for their future home
at Forest Hill.
Mr.. James Lake, formerly one of the
American trade of this country, expects
to soon remove to the farm of MIR.
Charles l.. Vail, at Forest Hill, which he
recently purchased. Mr.. Lake has re-
signed from the Chamter of Commerce
AMI severed all business connections in
B altimore and will devote his entire
time to intensive farming and poultry
raising. A one time, the business Of ex-
porting flour to South American coun-
tries reached the enormous output of
100000 barrels per year. Of this
amount, Mr.. Lake handled 10000
barrels. In later years however, the
South American trade has dwindled to
practically nothing, SO far as Baltimore
city exports are concerned. Mr.. Lake
comes to Hartford with the best kind of
endorsements from his city friends and he
will be valuable acquisition to Hartford.
We are always glad to have men of his
calibre make their homes in our midst.
