Belair Road Items.-Your correspondent
is credibly informed that all those who won
premiums at the late Timonium fair were sent
checks for the awards on Saturday last which
is much earlier than in former years. The
checks were usually sent out after the first Sat-
urday in October. No doubt they all have
them by this time.
1t has Just come to light that two brothers,
residents of Perry Hall land they are no spring
chickens. being each over 20 years of age) alb
stracted (not stole) from a wagon on the fair
grounds at TimOnium a basket containing
spring chicken, pie and other goodies, and
what they did to the goods was something aw-
full. After the meal they had to walk and get
something to aid their digestion. Upon their
return they found more chicken, but it hap
pened to be in their own wagon. No warrants
were issued, but they have to stand good deal
of ''joshing" from friends. They are willing
and able to pay for the goods, but have not
been successful in finding the owner, and as
one of them is widower he hopes il is lady.

truckers cannot raise pickles and lima beans as
successfully as in former years when they were
great crop? Now they are never half crop.
They come up fine and make luxurious
growth to about poisoning time, when they
shrivel and dry up, showing few nubs. They
get the same fertilization and attention as in
former years and the land is the same.

Cockeysville, 9th District.-While there
is much complaint elsewhere as to drouth,
yet with US the ground has considerable mois
ture, and springs have good flow of water
the pastures are doing we'll and vegetation,
especially garden truck and late corn, have de-
veloped we'll. Tomatoes are perfect and plen-
tiful where there was disposition to grow
them, and yet they sell at 20 CITE. per peck. At
this price it is better to raise them than to have
to buy.
The ground has been in perfect condition for
seeding and many have finished, and the grain
is up and looks fairly well. Those who have
not sowed may be hindered by rains.
Corn is being cut off, but we hear of no an
ticipated big yields per acre as last year-16 to
IL barrels per acre having been harvested then.
Large and good quality ears are expected. More
acres this season than last year were required
to fill the silos.

from now. 1t is still one of the most substan-
tial buildings in the village, being of stone with
slate roof. The late r. Noble Wilson kept
this house for twenty seven years, which is
the longest time any keeper had it. Among
the many who have been in charge, not in
