Year is past and we now write 1908. New
Year, with all its possibilities, lies before us
the blank pages yet unspotted by the world
sin and folly will at the end of the year con

manhood and womanhood, with noble I'M
pulses for the betterment of humanity's Ills

The Legislature is now in session for 80 days.
We hope the laws enacted by our respected
members may be for the benefit of the people
of the entire State as whole, and not for the
privileged few; also that an effort may be
made for the improvement of the roads in the
upper end of the county, which will be a
means of attracting people of wealth to it in
search of country homes. The Manor, for in
stance, is one of the most beautiful locations
in Baltimore county and if we had trolley
line and cheaper rates to the city, with good
roads, our farm lands would double in value
in few years. Of course our roads are fair
for the money Mr.. Howard Nelson is allowed
to spend on them, but if there was special
road fund Mr.. Nelson would be able to reflect
credit on himself and the district.
The Pennsylvania r. R. has become so poor
or mean that the baggage car is no longer

line out here we might be allowed few more
privileges. H.
