surrendered to a petition signed by over
two hundred of his patrons at Chesa,

to himself and the cause he is engaged in
when he declines to be called up to
a broader field of usefulness.

Mr.. Calvin Appleton and his son
Samuel, of near Aberdeen, tell the best
snake story of the season, and moreover
they claim il is true. They say that in
moving last week the mower cut the
head off good sized snake of the species
known as the spotted viper. Upon look
ing at it carefully they noticed something
strange projecting from the severed
portion and finally 4 three-foot black
snake was pulled from the yiper's
stomach The one snake, which was
only feet long itself, had swallowed the
other one and had only a foot to go and
come on. The strange part of the story
is that the blacksnake was still alive.

The filing this week of articles of in
corporation of the Susquehanna Pole
Line Company of Hartford county with
Messrs. H. Clay Whiteford, J. Alexis
Shriver, Alexander S. Bell, O. NJ. Whita-
ker and Joseph T. Deckman as incorpora-
tors develops an interesting possibility
in Hartford county. It's understood this
corporation will build the Hartford coun-
ty portion of the transmission line to
carry current from McCall's Ferry to
Baltimore, some of the incorporators
being the same as the Electric Develop
ment Company Of Hartford county which
was organized last week, and this seems
to indicate the possibility of distributing
some of the current in Hartford county.
1t is understood that the route through
upper Hartford has not been definitely
determined upon, and an effort will at
once be made to bring this line by way
of Bel Air and along the route of the
Baltimore and Bel Air electric railway
to Baltimore, thus making possible the
attraction of manufacturing plants to
Bel Air on account of cheap power.
