If the reckless chauffeurs would only

properly punished? Other violators of the

why not these fellows?
"A 18th district man who accompanied
the Carter delegation to Towson on Thursday
renewed his subscription to THE UNION for two
years to end February, 1911. number of
others who came with the delegation renewed
their subscriptions the same day. THE UNION
has large number of subscribers throughout

"a big war is being waged in Maryland
Just now against the spread of tuberculosis
and yet man is permitted to run a sort of
annex to consumptive hospital right in the
very centre of Towson where entire families
are exposed to this insidious disease. Can it
be possible that our health authorities will
allow such thing to continue?
Thousands of evergreen trees are again
being offered for sale on the street corners of
Baltimore city. Where they all come from is
q mystery, but it is safe TO say these beautiful
trees will soon be exhausted unless some plan
is devised to save them. The Christmas tree
business, like good many other things these
days, is being carried to foolish extremes.
What is known as 10Y riding in auto
mobiles was the cause of another fatal acct

machine without permission, filled it with his

broken wheel and collision with telegraph
pole-one man dead and three others injured.

other buildings that go with it will be obliter-
ated-in fact the entire village of Warren will
be practically wiped off the map. 1t is said the
company does not propose to re-establish the
mill elsewhere. The mill has been bringing its
owners net income of $50, 600 year, so it is
said.
"A strong delegation of the leading citi-
zens of the 14th district called on the Highways
Commission on Thursday to urge the reap
pointment of Mr.. ]. Thomas Carter as super
visor of that district. Some members of the
delegation exhibited great deal of feeling in
the matter and if their favorte fails to connect,
which seems highly probable, there will be
much soreness.
Samuel Gains, colored, who was arrested
by Patrolman Kleeman on the charge of dis
orderly conduct at the residence of Mr.. Harry
L. Slingluff, at Pikesvlle, was fined 500 and
costs by Justice Bevan, of Arlington. In de-
fault of payment be was sent to jail for 80 days.
That's the sort of dose that has q good effect.
Gaines and his class should get more of the
same kind of medicine.
- With its issue of next week-December
26th- THE UNION will end the 59th year of its
existence. 1t is one of the oldest country news
papers in Maryland and has become one of
Baltimore county's established institutions.
We can point with pride to the fact that there
are names on our mail books today that were
placed there when the paper was first printed
at Cockeysville fifty-nine years ago.
MIR. Talbot and his white hat have been
heard from in the Warren investigation" in
Baltimore, Mr.. Bruce having spoken of them
in his testimony. But in this case, according
to Mr.. Bruce neither of them happens to have
offended. The man and the hat went to Balti-
more together on the morning train and that
was all. Can't see for the life of us what the
investigation" had to do with that.
"A large delegation of prominent citizens
from the 9Th district came before the County
Commissioners on Tuesday to urge them to in
troduce electric light in the villages of Jockeys
vile and Texas. They think they are entitled
to this consideration at the hands of the Board
and urge it as a matter of economy as we'll as
of necessity. The Mt Washington Electric
Light and Power Company already has IFS
wires in Lutherville and could readily extend
them to the other two towns.
