Death of Mrs. RyOn.

Mrs. William s. Ryon, of Groom
died at her home of her daughter, Mrs
Mrs. G. Ernest Coale, on Thursday even
ing, December 18th, aged sixty sever
years, after lingering illness. She
came here from Groom, on Wednesday
to visit her daughter, thinking the
change would benefit her failing health
The end came suddenly the following
evening and was great shock to her
family who were hastily summoned by
the sad event.
Mrs. Ryon was most exemplary
woman, a model wife, mother and
housekeeper, and beloved by the COM
munity.in which she spent most of her
life. She was devout member of St.
Thomas Episcopal Church.
Rev. F. e. McMsnus, rector. of Trini-
ty Church, this town, read prayers at
the house before the funeral procession
started for Groom, where the rector,
Rev. Mr.. Parkman conducted the SER
vices. Six of her stalwart sons were
the pail bearers and the interment was
made in the family lot in the church
yard
Mr.. .Ryon died'several years ago, but
ten sons and one daughter are left to
cherish the memory of one of the mob
lest of mothers. They are-Dr. Mel

In responding to the resolution the
Governor said he highly appreciated
the kindly sentiments expressed. He
was greatly pleased with the work the
agricultural college and experiment
station was doing, and was sure that
both institutions occupied "a much high
er place in the State than they did some
years ago. His relations had always
been of the most pleasant nature with
every member of the board. DR.. At
kin son echoed the sentiments expressed
by the Governor, and declared that this
estimation of the college and its work
conceded with that entertained by the
Governor.
Mr.. Robert Grain spoke of the great
necessity for drainage of most of the
agricultural lands in the State, and de-
clared that the injury caused by reason
of the want of drainage amounted to
millions of dollars annually, and on his
metion a committee, composed of
niessrs. Grain, Director H. J. Patterson
a nd DR.. R. S. Hill, was appointed to
urge upon the legislature the necessity
of an appropriation to the experiment
station for drainage experiments, and
for the drainage expert to 60 into the
various paris Of the State to instruct
farmers how 10 properly drain their
lands.
The next meeting of the board will
occur February2.

Judge Merrick in the Circuit Court
on Thursday of last week heard argu-
ments of counsel in the motion for a
new trial in the case of Mrs. Florida
Killers, against whom verdict OF
$4,000 was rendered at the October
term of court upon the charge of alien
ating the affections of A. A. Taylor
the husband of Mrs. Taylor, of Alberon,
NJ. Judge Merrick overruled the mo-
ton for new trial, and the judgment
stands. George P. Hoover, Of the firm
of Wells, Hoover s. Wells, represented
Mrs. Taylor. 1t is expected the judg-
ment will be a lien on the interests Of
Mrs. Killers in the Contee Sand and
Gravel Company, of near Contee, of
which Mrs. Killers is secretary.

New Double Eagles Out.

The new $50 gold piece, SO designed
as to better conform to the tastes OF
bankers, is now in circulation. The
new design substantially conveys St.
Gaudens' ideas, but has been improved
in details to such am extent that praise
and admiration have supplanted the
criticism which broke out several weeks
ago, when the original coin left the
Philadelphia Mint.
The new double eagle can be stacked
quite as easily as any other coin. The
high relief to which bankers. found oh
lection has been greatly reduced,
though both sides are enthusiastically
concave, the eagle and the goddess
standing out boldly.
The new design is virtually COM
promise with regard to the ''panta loom
ed" eagle. 1t cannot be said that the
designer dispensed with leg adornment
of the eagle, but those who found OBJ
jections to this feature have no further
grievance, as the legs are obscured.
The figures 1907 have displaced the
Roman numerals. The sharp edge has
been eliminated. Around it are stars
and the phrase "E Pluribus Unum."
There was great demand for the
new issue Tuesday, when the first con-
signmeut of 100000 was delivered to
the cashier of the mint for circulation.
About half of this sum was distributed
among local banks and trust companies.
The coiners are striking off the coins
at rapid clip, and today second con-
signment was delivered.
The error of the designer of the old
double eagle, if such it may be called,
had singular result. There were
5000 coins of the original issued. and
while this ment $3.50, 900 in circulation
the high premium $40 on each coin
brought $4,000.
1t is said that none of the eagles are
in circulation, as they have all been
bought up by collectors.

Evansville Farmers Club.

DR. Joseph R. Owens, treasurer of the
Maryland Agricultural College, enter
aimed the members Of the Evansville
Farmers Club at his home. Hilltop
Lodge, on Saturday evening. President
Charl es. Fl. Stanley, of Laurel, presid-
ed. An epj oyabe repast was served,
under the direction of the hosts wife,
assisted by her daughter, Mrs. George
B. Luckey.
Director H. j. Patterson, of the Mary
land Experiment Station, directed at
tention to the farmers institute at
8eltsville January 6, and requested the
club to designate some question for dis
cussion at the convention. 1t was sug-
gested that the matter of school con-
solidation be taken up, and President
Stanley, of the Board of County School
Commissioners, gave it as his opinion
that the board would consider estab-
fishing a central school somewhere be-
tween College Park and Contee, on the
line, of the electric and steam railways,
which would consolidate the existing
five small schools in that territory. Mr..
Stanley suggested that the local trus-
tees of the several rural schools hold a
meeting and decide upon site for the
contemplated central school. He prom
ised to do what he could toward secur
ing an appropriation for this object,
and if it was impracticable he believed
bond issue could be secured for the
purpose of erecting suitable building.
This is the first practicable step yet
made toward school consolidation,
which has been frequently agitated in
this county.
On motion of DR.. Owens the club
passed resolution urging the club
members of the Legislature to use all
honorable means to secure at the ap-
preaching session an appropriation suf
ficient to finish macadamizing the old
turnpike road between Washington and
Baltimore.
1t was declared the work already done
upon the highway, under the direction
of the State Highway Commission,
shows the great value to any commun
ity of macadam roads and the necessity
for more of them in every county In
Maryland.
