What Mothers Forethought Did.-The
Belair Agis of last week said: "The Junior
Gunpowder Farmers Club of Baltimore county
made good point at their recent meeting, held
at the residence of Mr.. d. s. Pearce, when they
commended the attractive nature of the wide
avenue of trees which leads up to the residence,
this being the fruits of his mothers fore
thought and labor when young woman. The
shade is not confined to one variety OF trees
alone, and the result is particularly pleasingas
shown in the changing foliage at this season.
There is no act which so completely evidences
the unselfsh nature of person than the plant
ing of trees. Under the best circumstances the
fruits of ones labor will be reaped many years
later, generally by another generation, but
when the full grown tree is developed it is
thing of beauty and reminder Of its author for
many years to come"
