Wants State To Buy Bridge.

Senator Andrew, of Hartford, has intro
duced bill authorizing the State Roads
Commission to, secure for the road system
the Conowingo toll bridge over the Susque-
hanna river. If terms of purchase cannot
be agreed upon the commission may resort
to condemnation proceedings.
This bridge is an important link in the
State road system, between Cecil and
Hartford counties. The new State roads in
both counties terminate at the bridge, and
its addition to the system, it is argued, will
prove Of great value to the people Of the
two counties.
The present bridge is new one, having
been built to take the place Of the old struc-
ture that was partly destroyed by fire.
The structure is owned by the Como
wingo Bridge Co, and the tolls charged
are extortionate, The price for an auto
mobile is So and 30 cents is the price for a
onehorse team, with a graded schedule of
prices as the number of horses is increased.
The charges are very burdensome on the
farmers. Since the bridge connects two
ends of the State road system Senator
Andrew thinks the State can very properly
take it over as part Of that system.
An appropriation of 100, 1000 is author
lied for the purchase of the bridge.

by the brides family and close watch
kept on the young lady but she eluded
their vigilance for few minutes on
Friday evening and about six o'clock
while fierce snow storm was raging,
slipped out of the house and met the
waiting groom-to7be. They had all
arrangements made and drove at once to
the parsonage and were made one within
few minutes, after which they went to
the home Of George Campbell, aheighbor,
where they have since remained, pending
arrangements to move into the Lakeland
house at Principle which the groom

"REMINISCENCES.
INCIDENTS OF By-6one Days Of
3 Interest To the Present Resi-

Vicinity.
BY "6RANDpOp"
NUMBER III.

Who remembers when all the mail
matter was carried between Rising Sun
and Village Green, (now Greenhurst). By
Samuel Wade, every other day on foot?
Do you remember when one dollar was
the customary fee for marriage cere-
mony? / would like to tell you the name,
but for some relatives yet living, who
with his girl took a load Of hickory wood
instead of dollar. The girl said there
was good half cord for she helped cord
it. The preacher took the fee and tied
the knot, and did it so well that no
divorce was ever applied for.
Do You remember when cabinet
maker would make good walnut OF
cherry coffin, and attend the funeral, all
for the sum of seven dollars7 AT those
funerals six pail bearers would ride
ahead of the hearse on horseback with
scarfs of crepe on their hats, with two or
three dearborns for the immediate family,
following, and from ten to sixty men and
women on horseback, with lot more on
foot. The hearse would regulate the
speed to suit those who walked. No
flowers at the funerals-they were given
before death.
Do you remember. those good old camp
meetings, when from two thousand to ten
thousand people of all ages, sexes and
color would be there? They would come
on horseback. on foot and many in OK
teams. / can remember &those held in
Enoch McGrady's woods, later owned by
John Hammersmith, now by one Mr. G.
R. Grason, if am informed right This
was about the year of 1883 and 1884, and
if my memory serves me right. was in
charge of the Rev. Jacob Gruber, who
was appointed to Port Deposit Circuit in
1883. Rev. Gruber was a character in
his day, a true christian, always original,
born in Bucks County, Pa, of Dutch
parentage. Humorous, witty, yet always
true, earnest preacher Of the gospel.
Once at a meeting held not two miles
from the Rising Sun young preacher Of
another denomination was preaching and
Gruber was present. The young preach
er in his discourse spoke rather unkindly
of the Methodists and at the close Bro.
Giuber was invited to make the closing
prayer. He prayed for the people, all the
Christian Churches, the neighborhood
and the Nation; and lastly for the young
preacher, that the good Lord would bless
him and grant that his heart be made as
soft as his head and then he might do
some good.
Brother Gruber is the original one who
told the ladies who were standing On the
benches they would sit down if they knew
they had holes in their stockings. When
asked how he could say that when he did
not see any holes, his reply was, how
could they get them on if there were no
holes at the top. Another feature with
all these Camps was the man around the i
outside with his stock of whiskey. and
how many men would fish up the old
copper pennies for pull at the old black
jug! And the boarding tents and good
dinners; being only boy, got one
good dinner for ten cents. 1t makes
me wish were boy again, if only for
short time. Oh, some of those happy
days to me!
