on the Absence Of Organized Oppo.
sition, Which Could Prevent Approx
al Before the Termination Of the
2 Present Session. 49,.
Washington, Jan. 24.-The new Ca.
madam reciprocity agreement will be
presented to congress next Thursday,
accompanied by a strong message OF
endorsement by President Taft. Al
most simultaneously Mr.. Fielding, tho
Canadian minister of finance, will sub.
nit the agreement to the Canadian
parliament, in session at Ottawa. In
each case the agreement will be &C.
scompanied by detailed statements OF
the precise effect of the changes rec
commended in the existing tariff law,
with comparisons of the existing and
projected rates.
= Absolute silence still is maintained
by the officials here as to the nature
of the changes, but there is reason to
believe that they are sure of hearty
approval in at least one quarter, and
that is by the American purchasers
and consumers of print paper.
Excluding Sundays and one legal
holiday, only thirty-one days will re.
main of the present session of con-
gress after this agreement is laid be-
fore it. Its acceptance by the legisla-
tive branch of the government depends
entirely on the absence of any serious
organized opposition which could pre-.
vent action on the project before
March 4, when the session must ter
inmate.

MEDFORD.

The Medford Grange will meet at
Howard Bowers next Wednesday
evening, March Is. A full attendance
of the members il earnestly requested.
1t appears to me that it il not much
wonder that there are SO few indus
tries in Westminster The business
or moneyed men do not encourage or
throw out any inducements to bust
ness enterprise Of any kind, which
would not only benefit the town as a
whole, financially, but would better the
interests of the community at large.
Among one of these enterprises would
be the Carroll County Agricultural
fair, which the directors for the same
have been appointed, but are at this
time hesitating in purchasing the land
for the fair, Cd account Of the enor-
nous price Of land. The owners Of the
land on which the site OF the fair Is
wanted are asking 5000 an acre, which
bought for $50. The question at once
arises, What has brought about these
high prices lit would cause anyone
to abandon the idea.
I am told that the town of Cumber-
land, Md, is donating all the land for
the W. nj. r. r. to locate their shops
there. Such inducements as those are
worthy Of the consideration of any
business enterprise.

Gently held by the Pleasant Valley
Concert Band was a pronounced sue
cess In every sense Of the term. The

cooperated with the band and worked
SO hard. deserve first and especial
mention and commentator, and the
members OF the band hereby tender
their high appreciation and most hearty
thanks for their untiring efforts to
make the affair a success; also to the
friends who SO willingly entertained
the members of the Taneytown Band
at supper, at their houses, and to the
visiting bands for their fraternal Wis
Its and good music, and to all who
donated, or in any way contributed
toward the success of the affair. Great
appreciative and liberal crowds were
present every night, and the best of
conduct prevailed. 1t has been re-
marked that such a great and sue
cessful fair or oyster supper has not
been known here in many years. The
accurate proceeds cannot yet be given,
as full returns are not i'm, however,
the band contemplates giving con-
cert or musical entertainment, or
probably a combination OF the two,
when full report will be made. The
boys are progressing nicely. They
have added several instruments, in
GLIDING orchestra bells, and intend to
procure various other speciality and
descriptive instruments, traps and ac-
cessories, which will be used in their
concert work. They are now about to
purchase uniforms.

This lovely bud so young and fair.
Called hence by early doom;
just came to show how sweet a flower
In paradise would bloom.
Lonely Is the house and sad are the hours.
Since our dear Lottie is gone;
But. oh, fairer home than ours,
In heaven is now hers.
When her voice grew week and feeble;
And she on earth no more could sing,
Then she whispered blessed
Jesus soon with the angels I will sing.
Farewell to papa, mamma, sisters and
brothers, Mr
Ny heart was sad to part with you,
But since it was the Sav1our's will,
Trust Him, he doeth all things we'll.
