- Hundreds of THE UNIONS subscribers
wholly on r +. ID. routes in Baltimore county
will not receive their papers on time this week,
but the publishers cannot be blamed for this.
Ii is due to the fact that Saturday, February
22d, is a legal holiday and the carriers on these
routes will not go out. So subscribers to daily
and weekly papers must content themselves to
wait until Monday to get them. This will be
the cause of many complaints but it cannot be
helped, so it must be endured.

an effort will be made to get the present Legis-

case he is killed or becomes incapacitated for
future duty in fighting fire? The firemen of
Baltimore county are the best lire lighters OF
their class in the State, and not very long ago
at a dangerous fire in Canton, they we're

one of these men meets death or is permanent

The regular firemen are the men who should
