Fork, 18th District-Last Sunday after
noon a colt kicked Mr.. Arthur Clayton s
youngest daughter, knocking her to the ground.
The colts hoof struck her on the bone between
the right eye and temple. A half inch to the
left would have been in the eye, and like dis
| lance to the right would have struck the tenn
pie. While the bruise is very serious 1t is ex-
pected that she will recover. The colt was
eating grass near the house and the child
stepped up behind to pet it.
The wife of Mr.. ]. Henry b. DOhier is quite
sick. She has been attended by Dr. Gorsuch,
who advised cessation of work for two or
three weeks. Feeling better on Monday she
undertook some household work but was at
tackled with a fainting spell and is now in a
worse condition than before. 1t is important
that we heed the instructions of our physician.

Heavy rains in this section, July 9th and 7th,
will be worth many thousands of dollars to
farmers. Potatoes, corn and other crops, as
well as the pastures will be immensely
benefited.
At Grange a trucking section just east of
Baltimore, they have had no rain except few
slight sprinkles for two months The growers
have kept at work cultivating and the crops
have kept up remarkably well although rain
is badly needed.
Mr.. Dixon Connolly, at Baldwin, has re-
moved the blacksmith shop at that place, which
has added to the many improvements he is
making there.
It is predicted that Long Green Valley cab
bage will sell high, as the Grange cabbage crop
is short and the Anne Arundel crop is cut
down by dry weather The sections West
growing early potatoes along the river bottoms
have been flooded, notably such leading places
as the Great American Bottom, near st. Louis,
and the Kaw Valley, near Kansas City. These
two sections fed the people potatoes in the
