White Hall, N. @. r. R.-The fair held la.
week at White Hall, under the auspices of th
Farmers Club and Improvement Associatio
OF this place, was a success from every point {
| view, and the association received coDgratull
tons on every hand for conducting an affai
that surpassed the expectations of everyone
| The exhibits numbered over 1000 and were Q
high order. The attendance during the thre
days was estimated at 5000. The receipt
reached the sum of $3.50 and the expenses wer
| $64O, leaving balance of $3.50.
| Had the fair, in the way OF attendance ant
number of exhibits, reached one-half what i
was every body connected with it would hav
prise to the community and as also to thos
who attended. The success was such that tn
public made strong demand that it be mad
an annual affair and the association, at its meet
ing on Wednesday evening, decided to repea
it next year.
At this meeting a vote of thanks was extend
ed The UNION for its assistance and encourag
ing words and the publicity given the fail
through its local and advertising columns

had charge of the supper table and CONNECTION

Notable among the live stock exhibits was
the line six.mule team shown by Mr.. II. Mil.
ton Slade. The exhibits in the poultry depart
ment were large and highly creditable. The
ladies did themselves great credit in their de-
partment and there were some excellent line
of their handiwork. The farm produce de-
partment was large and judging from the ex-
hibitsthis section of the county and upper Har-
ford county certainly raised crops this season
worthy to boast of.
On the whole the fair proved a wonderful
success, far beyond that what had been antici'
pated, and spoke well for that section of the
State and was what was expressed by many

Necker, 18th District.-A gang OF thieves
has been operating through this section of the
county for some time and many farmers have
been sufferers on account of their visitations.
Not in fifty years has such bold work been
carried on here by lawless persons and up to
this time not an arrest has been made-in fact,
there seems to be no effort put forth to stop
the depredations. The gang appears to be now
working between the Joppa road and the Bel
air and Philadelphia roads towards the Gun
powder. They loiter around in the woods dur
ing squirrels. One stands guard while the
others do the work. Entire fields of corn have
been carried off by these marauders. The corn
shocks in some fields have been cleaned up,
leaving nothing but the fodder. Everything
in the vegetable line has been stripped from a
number of places. Some farmers, when they
missed their stuff, set up every night for week
on the watch, but at those times the thieves
appeared to be operating in new fields and the
watching was fruitless. About the time the
watchers took their required rest that very
night the thefts were renewed. People who
have sustained losses from this gang declare
that if they ever get hold of these fellows they
will make an example of them. Where are
all the officers of the law that such things told
of by this correspondent are permitted in q
county like this The people pay their share
of expense to keep up the local government
and they and their property should be pro
lam -Epc1
Rain is very much needed and the weather

Is now in course of erection there. Several en-
tertainments have been held under the direc
ton of the Parents Club. The building when
completed, will no doubt be one of the finest
and best equipped in the county.
This section of the county is suffering greatly
from drought. Perhaps after the election the
weather as all things else, will be just as We
wish it. Both parties being sure of their man
promise better times in all things.
Much dissatisfaction is felt here in the recent
change of schedule of the N. 9. R. R. EN-
ployees of the Melvale Distilling Company
