|nesday last, January 23d. 1t originally con-
SISTED of 60 building lots with streets and lanes.
Baltimore. Charles and Calvert were among
the streets laid out at that time. Several other
btreets that are now important thoroughfares
were then designated as lanes.
The cold wave of last Sunday sent the
mercury down 35 degrees inside OF twelve
hours. The high temperature of the night
before took away.the snow almost as IT it had
been done by magic. There was no frost in
the earth and 1t just seemed to swallow its
white mantle at one great gulp.
- Every citizen of T0wsOn should join the

- Very small boys with pipes and cigarettes
in their mouths are often unpleasant sights on
the streets Of Towson. Most parents, of the
going people. A bad habit contracted early is
hard to shake off in later life and the great
boon of good health, once lost, is often never
regained.
- Several neighborhood improvement asso-

county since the first Of the New Year, and
these should be able to accomplish much good
in their respective communities. There are
many things that can be accomplished through
concerted action that would necessarily fail
through individual effort only.
10 Monday last Mr.. Osborne I. Yellott
and Messrs. Marbury q Gosnell attorneys for
Mrs Elizabeth G. Abel, filed bill in the Cir
cult Court here for an absolute divorce from her

- The Belair Democrat Of last week said
"If the plans now afioat are not shifted visitors
to Timonium fair next fall can go from Tow
son via Lutherville by trolley. If Promoter
Shriver, who is interested. will push his troll
ley to Beair and his cattle show to the fair
grounds the Baltimore county people will re-
turn Harford's visit to Timonium." Indeed
we will.
- The case of James F. Migan, road super
visor for the LIST district again occupied several
hours before the Highways Commission on
Thursday and was not completed. A number
of witnesses we're examined by Attorneys Con-
trum and Offutt and the latter had sharp tilt
with Dr. G. Y. Everhart. in which some threats
were made. Magin is charged with someirregu-
larities in the purchase of stone.
This climate is remarkable for its many
and, at times violent changes, and some at
tribute most of the sickness that prevails from
time to time to the weather. But this idea
must be an erroneous one because mild win
ter brings sickness with it and so does severe
one. One of the coolest (that is steadily cold)
winters ever experienced here there was more
sickness in Towson than was ever known
before or since.
- The public road question is again ex-
citing good deal of interest in Baltimore
county and, it is always the case, there is much
diversity of opinion upon it. There is one
thing very certain: We cannot get perma-
nently good roads without the expenditure of
a very large sum of money, and as the people
always fight high taxes, how this money is TO
be forthcoming is the troublesome problem to
to do this: If you don't put up the taxes you
will never get permanently good roads.
