We have no sympathy with the pro
miscuous poisoning of dogs but we have
great deal of sympathy for the house
holders in this community who are moi
able to enjoy peaceably their own proper
ty because of the incursions of worthless
ours. A few days ago a wandering dog
attacked and killed mammoth bronze
gobbler, weighing thirtv-four pounds, be.
longing to Mr.. P H. Mccormick. This
is only one of many such depredations
which continually come to our ears and
emphasizes the Importance of a proper
restraining law with reference to dogs.
An important decision was rendered
few days ago by the Court of Appeals,
reversing Judge Harlan, of Baltimore,
against the Maryland Club that the pro-
vision of the City Charter prohibiting
hotels and restaurants, except in certain
cases, from serving liquor to guests on
Sundays does not apply to social clubs.
This was made up as a test case and one
of the foremost clubs of the city was Sc
lected. The decision is regarded with
great satisfaction by the friends of tenn
perauce, and by States Attorney o wens,
who represented the state.
Mr.. J. w. Nelson, of the Bureau of
Soils, Washington, d. c., is in Bel Air for
the purpose of making a study of soil
management problems throughout Har-
ford county. He will make several trips
through this section during the summer
and will be glad to meet and call upon
farmers who are interested in trucking,
fruit growing or general farming, and
especially those who have been or may
be contemplating any experiments with
reference to the fertilizer or manurial re-
quirements of soils. Any communica-
ton addressed to Mr.. Nelson at the
Bureau of Soils will receive prompt at
tention.
| Edward Croxen and Isaac Giles, of
Aberdeen, both colored. got into an alter
cation at the colored church near the
town on Thursday of last week while
both were drunk, and it will probably
end in the death of Croxen. In the scrim-
mage Croxen slashed Giles badly with a
razor about the head and face, where
upon Giles laid him out with stone.
Croxen was sent to the City Hospital in
Baltimore, where he now lies in critical
| condition. Giles was given a hearing be-
fore Justice Osborn on Saturday, his plea
being that of self defense. He was ad-
mitted to bail to await the effect of
Croxen's wounds.
Rev. E. c. Gallagher, who so accept
ably filled the Bel Air circuit of the
Methodist Episcopal Church some years
since, has been appointed to fill the
vacancy at Union Square Church Balti-
more caused by the death of Rev William
| g. Herbert. AS indicated at the time it
necessitated the transfer of six ministers
to accomplish the purpose, one of whom
Is Rev. L. A. Thirlkeld, who was trans
! ferred from Aberdeen to North Avenue,
Baltimore. Rev. F. R. Bayley was sent
from Thurmont to fill the vacancy at
Aberdeen. While Mr.. Thirlkeld's pro-
motion is highly deserved, it was ac-
guessed in with regret by the people of
Aberdeen. who had become very much
attached to him.
Judge J. Parran Crane has just rem
dered an important decision dispossess-
ing eight oyster lot holders near Solo,
mons Island, and directed them to re-
move their seed oysters aggregating sew
eral thousand bushels by March next.
The ground for the decision was that the
| lots are natural beds and were taken up
under the five-acre law without due no.
tice The case fully illustrates the i'm
comprehensive way furnishes all the nee
essary machinery for it's faithful execu-
ton, and leaves no question as to what
ground is eligible for cultivation. There
is little doubt but that there are many
illegal holders at present, and this is only
the beginning of many removals.
On Monday evening jolly party of
twenty ran up in automobiles from Bal
timore to the Eagle Hotel, where they
took supper and highly enjoyed them
selves for two hours, returning the same
evening. We commend their trip to the
consideration of parties seeking pleas
ant spin and a hearty reception, and
hope there will be many repetitions dur
ing the coming summer. Those consti-
tuting the party were Mrs L L. Bart
lett, Mrs. B. NJ. Ingram, Mr.. and Mrs.
E. L. Bartlett, Jr., MIR. and Mrs. Dwight
Mallory, Mr.. and Mrs. E. E. Price, Mr..
| and Mrs. Howard Schwarz, Miss Minnie
Schwarz, Mr.. and Mrs. w. w. Bald win,
Mr.. Allen Schwarz, MIR. D. c. Schlagle.

the church to enjoy The reception tender

return to that charge for the second year.

gram was then rendered, after which re.
freshments were served. Rev Mr. Kill
