ANOTHER INTERESTING REPORT.
In the corn contest of the Senior Gunpowder
Club in 1873 Mr.. T. T. Gorsuch was the sue
cessful competitor, his report showing that he
produced 24s barrels to the acre. In presenting
the prize to Mr.. Gorsuch, Mr.. Samuel M. Price,
chairman of the committee, made neat little
speech. as follows:
duty as chairman of the committee on the prize
acre of corn on behalf of the Gunpowder Agri-
cultural Club to present to thee this p picture as
largest yield of corn per acre over all competf-
tors. I hoped that this duty would have de-
volved on some one more competent to do the
occasion Justice, but the interest feel in our
Club induces me to add few more words. When
This Club was first organized, no one ever
Thought that such q yield as 25 bbls. per acre
couId he raised here. This no doubt has been
brought about by our organization and think
it is not assuming too much to say that not only
members of this Club have received much bene-
AT from our gathering but the farmers through
out this section of the county have had their
ewes opened, are waking up to Improvement in
farming are no longer satisfied with raising but
six barrels of corn per acre. And in conclusion
LEFT me say as we are represented in this picture
standing shoulder to shoulder may It ever De
interest and in the advancement of agriculture,
the most Independent and noble of occupations.
Nav we be able to hand down to our childrens'
children record of which they need not be
ashamed. May the venerable recipient of this
picture live to produce the highest possible
amount of corn per acre is my sincere WISH"

Thursday said: "a package containing stick
of dynamite was found by a six-year-old boy
named link, early yesterday morning, lying
in the road near the entrance of Mr.. Thomas
Deford's residence, near Brooklandville, Green
Spring Valley. Singularly enough, he had
been instructed by his father to wait for pack

saw living in the road to be that for which he

had no fuse and there was nothing except it in
"Mr. Thomas Deford had passed the bundI c
riding in his automobile the night previous
about IL o'clock, and his chauffeur had no

as not to ride over it. Although there were
some willing to believe that the dynamite had
been purposely placed in the road with evil
intent, Mr.. Deford, when informed afterwards
Of the nature of the bundles contents was in
clined to think little of the incident. Even
though the rubber tires of the auto had passed
over the dynamite, it is matter for serious
doubt as to whether the latter would have ex
ploded. There are quite number OF quarrie'
where dynamite is used in the vicinity o.
Brooklandville.
"The most fortunate circumstance regard
