Sweet Air, 10th District.-Mr. John Haw-
kins Wilson, a well known resident of Balti-
more county, died Thursday, January 10Th, at
the home of his sister, Mrs. James D. Powell,
near Sweet Air, after short illness. His death
was very unexpected, although he had been re-
ceiving medical attention from DR.. Thomas II.
Emory for some time. Mr.. Wilson was in his
cd year and is survived by two sisters-Mrs.
Powell and Mrs. Leona W. Dickey of Lexing-
ton, Va, and brother, Rev. James Edgar
Wilson, of Jacksonville, Fla. He was buried
at St James Episcopal Church, on the Manor,
on Sunday, at 80 P. M. Rev. s. A. Potter,
rector conducted the funeral service. The
pall-bearers were Messrs. James Edgar Powell
and Benjamin B. Powell, nephews of the de-
ceased and James g. Stansbury, T. Howard
Stansbury, Charles M. Wilson and Robert
Prill Hall.
There has been much talk about demolish-
ing of all tollgates and making each county
keep its road in good condition. If this does
happen there should be gates on all roads
between the counties. For instance, it would
not be right for Baltimore county to be Obliged
to stand the entire expense of keeping its roads
in order and to allow the free traffic OF otner
counties. Many people say there is much
more hauling from Hartford county to Balti-
more city than there is from this section Of
Baltimore county itself. If this is so it would
be only fair for the people who use the Baltl,
more county roads to help pay expenses, and
on the other hand the people of this county
who use other roads should do the same.
majority of the people of Baltimore county
are strongly in favor of having gates between
this county and others. There is one thing
certain, it would be certainly as fair for one as
the other, and if the people want it this way it
should be the law, for the laws are made for
the benefit of the people. b.
