ton from filthy stables and uuclean mixers
and this alone will be one great thing in III
/ favor.
| - In the 14th district petitions are being
| circulated asking the County Commissioner
for an additional levy Of 10 cents on the 500 &c
be expended on the roads. There seems TO be
! general demand for this increase aud il speaks
we'll for the public spirit of the people Of the
| district.
-And still they come-the ''canaries. y
The people seem to take pleasure in bringing
| or sending them back, and we are altogether
too modest to tell exactly how many of them
/ have returned since the 7th of last Decem Der,
but can safely say the number runs up into the
! hundreds.
- Friday. 9TH of February, was the fourth
! anniversary of Batim0re's great fire. In the
/ comparatively short space of four years many
i millions Of dollars have been expended in i'm
i prOvements and the city is more beautiful than
| il ever was. After all the fire was not such q
| terrible thing.
- Five or six stores in Govanstown were
robbed on Thursday night of last week. but
very little booty was secured The thieves ap.
| pear to nave manifested no fear whatever OF
the police. They seem to have done the jobs
at their leisure and left when they got ready
Very strange. indeed
- There is talk of amending the Baltimore
county liquor license law in order to increase
the fee. If high license is secured for Balti-
more city the county will be Obliged to do
something to protect itself. II is said our mem-
bers in the House will shortly introduce bill
to put up the license fee.
- Il was Thomas Paine who said Il love
the man that can smile 10 trouble, that can
gather strength from distress, and grow brave
by reflection. 'Tis the business of little minds
to shrink; but he whose heart is firm and whose
conscience approves his conduct, will pursue
bis principles unto DEATH"
- The grounding saw bis shadow last Sum
day-that is If be came out of bis holeto look
for it-sOmethng we very much doubt. Per
haps we are now to have six weeks OF bad
Ess.ser Which VIII carry a. s 70 the middle Of
weather until after that date
- Last Sunday was day of bright sun
shine, but it was the coolest of the winter up
to That time, with wind that blew gale
throughout the day. Services bad TO be aban-
doned in some of the churches because they
could not be comfortably heated. 1t is rarely
that such day is experienced in this latitude
- The movement that was started looking
to the Incorporation of Roland Park, the first
meeting for which object was held by the citi
zens on Thursday night, fell through entirely
Il was decided that its present government is
satisfactory. The town is located in the 9Th
district and is one of Baltimore city's most
beautiful suburbs.
- bout p NJ on Monday last while Mr..
B. Noppenberger Of Chestnut Ridge. was in
the act Of crossing the N G. tracks at Padonia
Station, bis team was struck BY an accommO-
dafion train and the WAGON demolished Mr..
Noppebb rger had bis head hurt, but not seri-
ously. The horse escaped. There is watch
man a. me crossing.
- Baltimore cty's water loan will be 5000.
600, and if it goes through ii will be mere
drop in the bucket towards completing the
immense GuDpowder storage lake. IL will
require about 1000 acres of land for this great
body of water. The cost of the work will be
MANY millions and il must necessarily be years
before il is completed.
- An 0bservant newspaper man says:
Payment of one fare ought to entitle pas
senger to one seat; yet majority OF people
would rather stand inside Car and ride than
stand on the sidewalk waiting for the next
car" Did you ever think of that before
There are more reasons than one why street
cars are often packed.
- There are now three separate express
lines running between Baltimore and TOwsOn
and all seem to be doing large business. In
addition to these many big city stores make
either daily or tri- weekly trips here with their
own wagons. The express lines also deliver
goods off the main line of travel and of course
this adds to their business.
- The nOn-partisan taxpayers convention
will be held in the Court House at Towson, on
Tuesday, February 18th. commencing al 10 A.
NJ In the past these meetings have been the
means of securing some excellent legislation
for the county and good may result from this
one. We hope the public spirited citizens of
being present.
- Mr.. 2 Howard Isaac, attorney for Emma
e. Scott aud others, has filed bill in the Cir
cult Court here against Eleanor d. B0sey and
others, asking for the sale of the property
known as Bosley's Hotel, in Towson. The
late owner of the hotel was Mary e. Bosley,
widow of Charles Bosey. The house was
originally the residence of the late Mrs. Mary
A. Shealey, by whom it was built
- There are some people who are foolish
sr.r4e .ut
House is large enough. They evidently know
nothing about the actual condition of affairs
or they would change their views Baltimore
y ose sca5 sn
it Is far behind some others. Even our little
sister Hartford has us beaten a mile in this
respect.
- Mount Moriah Masonic Lodge of Towson
celebrated its forty third anniversary on Tues
day night with banquet served IN the temple
by the Bishops Guild of Trinity P. Church.
The committee in charge consisted of Messrs.
John T. Hershner. u. Howard Isaac. y. Stan
ton BOsley, James e Green and DR.. VIM. L.
Smith The surviving charter member of the
lodge are Messrs. John T. Ensor, Henry l..
Bowen, John R. D. Bedford and VIM. M. Isaac.
- The money market having loosened up
considerably no doubt building will be brisk
the coming spring. We hope to see many inn
provements in Toweon during the present year
As place of residence it is among the most de-
surrounded by a rich and beautiful country
and within As minutes of the centre of Bati-
more city. What more could anyone wish
when looking about for permanent place OF
residence?
