Suburban Tract Being Snbdiyided.

The work Of subdividing the well-knOwn
Patton tract Of land at Bethesda will be-
gin during the present week.
This new subdivision will be developed
and handled by Cyrus Keiser and Charles
F. Kinchloe, both residents of this county,
who bought the property from the Thomas
J. Fisher Company.
The tract is situated on the Rockville
electric line. II comprises more than 20
acres of land and is looked upon by real
estate men as beautifully situated and
adapted for subdivision purposes. A dis
tinctive feature Of this new subdivision will
be the rows Of attractive hedges along all
the lot fronts. The lots probably will be
about so by $50 feet.
Bids already have been invited for the
contract to prepare the land for the market
by grading II. laying out and macadamiz-
ing streets. planting shrubbery and proba-
bly, the installation Of water and sewer
system.
This deal which was closed about two

one. That section of the county is fast
becoming populated and is playing an i'm
portant part in suburban realty.

The White Case Decided.

Judge Henderson in the Circuit Court
here has filed his opinion in the case of
Thomas II. White against Mrs. Huldah A.
White, deciding in favor of Mrs. White,
The case was an action to compel perform
ance of contract. A farm of more than
five hundred acres near Poolesville. be-
longing to the plaintiff, was sold under a
mortgage about three years ago and was
bought by Mrs. White, who held a sub
sequent judgment of $4,000, for about
$4,000.
The plaintiff claimed that Mrs. White
agreed to deed the farm back to him upon
being paid the money she put up for the
farm. The bill was filed to compel her to
carry out this alleged contract.
In his opinion Judge Henderson says IF
the plaintiff ever had any right to relief he
has lost such right by his failure to assert
1t in time. can see no equity in his case
and must dismiss the bill.

Animal Diseases to be Studied.

Provision is made for the establishment
Of an experiment station for the Bureau of
Animal Industry at Bladensburg. Md, in
the new agricultural bill just reported to
Congress, besides an appropriation for the
maintenance of the breeding station of
this Bureau now located at Bethesda, this
county.
A year ago Congress took the first steps
toward the new experiment station, when
$4,000 was appropriated for the pur-
chase of land at Bladensburg. II was de-
termined then that such place was
needed by the Bureau to isolate domestic
animals suffering from various diseases
where they might be watched and treated.
An option was secured on the property
needed, and now Congress has made pro-
vision for the first building to be erected.
At the Montgomery farm some few ex-
periments are already being made by the
department, but in the future it will be
the purpose of the Animal Bureau to send
its stock infected with foot and mouth dis
eases, with tuberculosis, cholera or Texas
fever to the Bladensburg place Here
serums will be prepared for the treatment
of diseased stock all over the country,
The present agricultural bill carries ap-
preparations aegreeating $l3,5i2.836 as
against $i2,985,036 last year, or an in
crease of 1882. $50. This money is pro-
vided for all the activities of the Depart
ment of Agriculture. and the percentage
of increase is smaller than it has been in
10 years.
Another important provision which the
Senate has included is that for the ex-
termination of the boil weevil. which is
now doing vast damage in the cotton belt.
The appropriation for this work was in
creased by the Senate committee from
$215.000 to $255.000, after urgent APP
peals had been made by the Southern
members of the committee.

Mr.. BraddOck's Lecture.

The lecture delivered by Mr.. A. A. Brad
dock. on the subject Of Peculiar People"
at the Rockville Baptist Church. on Friday
evening last, was much enjoyed by those
who heard ii. An hour was consumed in
its delivery and the audience gave close
attention from the opening to the closing
sentence. The lecture was literally tine
tured with dry humor, and yet not lacking
in food for serious thought. 1t contained
many passages that would doubtless be
read with pleasure. but lack Of sufficient
space in which to do justice to the subject
forbids an attempt to present them to our
readers.
The lecture consists, in part. Of extracts
from a small volume to be entitled Peculiar
People and Other Queer Odds and Ends, "
which is in course Of preparation by Mr..
Braddock and which will be published when
completed.

Esther Mossburg. aged year and % days,
who died February 3rd, 1910. after long
Illness.
We saw his sufferings and heard his signs
With trembling hands and weeping eyes,
But now he calmly sleeps at last,
All pains. all griefs, all sufferings passed.
Those little lips. so sweet to kiss.
Are closed forever now,
Those sparkling eyes that shone so bright
Beneath that pearly brow.
That little heart that beat so high.
Free from all care and gloom,
Are hidden now from those he loved.
Beneath the silent tomb
The little crib is empty too.
The little clothes laid by;
A mothers hope. a fathers JOY
In deaths cold arm doth lie.
Go. little pilgrim. to thy home
On yonder blissful shore.
We miss thee here but soon will come
Where thou hast gone before.
