car at Baldwin Station, Md. u Pa. Railroad,
! three days this week attracted many persons
and no doubt they will be productive of much
good. Many ofthose who attended were ladies.
- Messrs. link Bros, Of the 9Th district,
| had mighty fine 4-horse team in Towson. on
/ Wednesday and ali of them looked like Clydes-
| dales The offwheeler-a 4-year-old sorrel stall
lion-tipped the beam on Lees scales at ,47O
pounds.
- Spring movings are now in order and
many families will be changing their places Of
residence, but this has not been so general
among tenant farmers this year as usual. And
this latter accounts for the smaller number OF
| public sales.
- A Towson boy who was engaged in some
work that was not altogether to his taste casu-
ally remarked to his father: Pap, they say
trouts is bitin'." And then the inhuman pa.
rent replied: well, you let 'em alone and
they won't bite you"
- Lawrence Gill, aged IL years. pupil Of
the McDonogh School. on Sunday last fell %
feet from the tower of the school building to o
tiled floor and was very seriously injured,
although not internally. He was taken to .
hospital in Baltimore.
THE Towson improvement Association
started in rather late in its action against the
Eudowood Sanatarium. 1t should never have
been located where it is in the first place, but
now that it is there we cannot see how the mis-
take is to be remedied.
- Next Tuesday, March 18th, will be St.
Patrick's day and the end of the supposed
grounding period After that date the weather
usually becomes settled, although spring does
not make its advent until three days later
according to the almanac.
- THE UNION has four men on its mail list
at Mt. Washington named MalIonee. Three OF
them are brothers and two are twins. the fourth
being an uncle of the others. And there 10
not another man of the same name on our
lists. This is rather remarkable.

of his farms and it is now being grained inside
in bright oak and walnut. The work is being

continue until March 10Th. They are in charge
of Rev. Charles Mercer Hall, M. A. Rev. Ho-
bort Smith is the rector of st. Thomas, which
is the oldest church in Baltimore county and
one of the oldest in the State.
- Some of the buggies and other vehicles
coming into Towson this week from the sur
rounding country tell in mute but unmistak-
able way Of the condition Of the roads. They
wree so despatched with mud that it was i'm
possible to tell their color and they will never
get washing until conditions improve.
- Governor Crothers did not get to the
meeting at Hamilton, Hartford road, last Satur-
day night, as it was expected that he would,
and there was a good deal of disappointment
in consequence. As it was Senator Biddson
and bis road bill had everything to themselves
and he made the best Of the opportunity.
IAN ablebodied looking farmer, who be-
came a subscriber to The UNION this week,
said three doctors had told him he had appen-
dicitis and one of them insisted that he have
an operation performed at once. Even with
this hanging over him the man was cheerful,
although be says he suffers much pain at
times.
We don't think motorcar drivers are pay
ing any attention to the signs put up to keep
within the speed limit while passing through
Towson. Last Sunday some of them travelled
like the wind and it would have been simply
impossible to take their numbers because Of
their speed. Chauffeurs appear to be law unto
themselves.
People from nearly every section of Bal
timore county attended the public sale of Mr..
Ralph w. Rider, on the Union Hall Farm,
southeast of Towson, on Tuesday last. That
shows what advertising does for sale. He
was liberal in this respect and it no doubt in
creased the total amount of his sale several
hundred dollars.

will be entertained Saturday, March 18th, by
Mr.. and Mrs Lewis ~. Bacon The Junior

Long Green laundry on Saturday drove to the

THE movement looking to the building
of trolley line from Maryland Line to York
is now in good shape and there are excellent
prospects for the success of the enterprise. Mr..
s. M Manifold is now making q survey for the
road plan of which will be shown at another
meeting to be held March 21st. A number of
moneyed men are interested in the enterprise.
THE public sale of the personal effects Of
Mr.. Ralph W Rider, on the Union Hall Farm,
near Towson, on Tuesday last, attracted very
large crowd of people and was in all respects
successful, good prices having been obtained
throughout. A team of six mules brought

Quoted the sale, and Harry B. McGlone was
clerk.
1.-The road question, as it now appears
before the Legislature at Annapolis, is the sub
ject of much discussion among the people. but
it must be said the odds are largely on the side
of Biddison bill and the Senator's course in the
70 hat
body wants to see is fair start in the good
roads movement. Don't compel US to wait two
more years for the necessary legislation.
"a farmer, whose lands lay along the
Western run, in the 9Th district, complains
that trappers set their steeltraps along the
stream on his property ostensibly to catch
minks and muskrats. but they catch his ducks
instead. He also wishes to know If it is not
unlawful for dogs to run rabbits out OF season.
and what would happen if he should kill such
dogs. If there is deputy game warden in his
neighborhood be had better appeal to him.
Two Blind Brothers in a Mixup.-The
Baltimore american of Monday said Two
blind brothers, Wilton and Richard Lysher,
started out for good time Saturday night, and
their efforts were crowned with so much sue
cess that they landed in the Northeastern
Police Station. Wilton is a resident of Ross
vile, Baltimore county, and only gets to town
once in long time, which might account for
his eXuberance. Richard resides at 1917 North
Bradford street. Just how the argument star
ted could not be ascertained, but both were en-
gagged in a very lively setto when Sergeant Levi
found them rolling over each other in the
street shortly after II o'clock yesterday morn
ing Though blind, the men had managed to
locate each other effeotually several times, if
one is to judge by appearances. Their faces
were scratched and their clothes were in a sad
condition from contact with foreign substance
in the street. but they were still game. When
they were taken before Lieutenant Crate, al the
station house, they manifested great willing
ness to do it all over again. When asked as to
the cause of the trouble they explained that
there had been some little argument as to which
could whip the other and put him down. AS
words failed to convince either, each tried to
demonstrate in practical manner his superb
ority with the result that both went down.
Justice Keplinger dismissed them when they
were brought before him yesterday morning"
Surprise Party.-An enjoyable surprise
party was given to Mr.. and Mrs George @.
Krach, at their home on Blue Ball avenue,

Music was furnished by Mr.. John Quick. Re-
freshments were served during the evening.
Among those present were Mr.. and Mrs. George
