Want TO
HEAR BOB TAYLOR
COMMITTEE TRIED TO GET TEN.
NEssEE SENATOR TO SPEAK
FROM COURT HOUSE STEPS,

An effort was made by some Of the
townsmen today to have Senator Bob
Taylor to speak from the court house
steps tonight. This matter was taken
up with the senator but owing to the
heavy strain on him the idea had 70
be given UP.
Senator Taylor is known to many
Falrmonters having been here before
and talked to the representatives OF
Marion county Democracy. His flash
es of wit and his keen sense Of hu-
NOR are SO well known that twas q
disappointment to know that he could
not make an address from the court
house steps,
Many of the people thought that i
would be a clever stunt to have each
senator nuke ten minute speech on
the court house Yeranda so that all
could have a chance to see and hear
the big men from Washington.

A long term lease was closed this

quarters, by which he will have one
OF the largest and ost modern store
rooms in the State, Under the terms
OF the lease new tore room will be

Monroe and Barney streets extending
back to Meredith street a distance OF
one hundred and stxty-five feet. The
building is to be three stories high
and will give Mr. Jones more than
double the floor space he has at his
present quarters, lgith much more
ground floor room and better windows
and other facilities for making prop,
er display Of his goods. This build
ing is to be completed and ready for
occupancy next sullmer and will be
one OF the largest iadditions to the
business section of tlE city. Mr.. Jones
has been looking fQf larger quarters
for several months but until this lease

THE PEACH CROP
WILL BE SHORT

q . |r s . H
According to the staement Of a prom
inent peach grower Of smithsburg,
District, 1t is the young peach trees
which this year are full OF fruit. The
buds on the older trees were not
frozen, but the trees had been barring
a succession Of heavy crops and are
exhausted in fruitproducing vitality.
Some years ago just such q thing
happened. There had been success
sion of crops when a skip occurred in
the crop for year. The next year
the trees resumed bearing and CON
tInued in succession until another
skip occurred-thls year. 1t is also
claimed that last years severe drough
checked the growth Of new WOOD
which bears the fruit.
The grower said in comparing the
peach crop this year and last that last
year there was shipped to the city
market $50 carloads Of peaches. This
year the calculation Is made forr 300
carloads, or less The conditions
around Smithsburg, the grower stated
about represented the general sttua'
ton over the county, The young trees
are the ones which this year will pro
duee fruit. Other growers claim that
this years crop will not be much
more than half crop.-Hagerstown

Charles dance card Is mute evidence
of the fact that he isn't wall flower
and never was one. Also Charles head
this morning Is painful evidence that
somehow or other he got into trouble
After the dance Charlie started home
along the road alone. Memories of the
ball were fitting through his head, and
from his puckered lips there came the
blithe tunes to which he had danced all
evening. Charlie was whistling merrily
as he strolled along Good Hope road.
Notwithstanding hit him a crack in
the head and knocked all the melody out
Of it.
The quick quietus put on the syncopated
whistling wrapped the Good Hope road in
Its customary shroud of silence. All was
dark, but when the fireworks ceased
dancing in Charles eyes he saw. he says,
a colored man running away in the dim
distance. Charlie managed to pull himself
to his feet and eventually found a police
man. who wanted to send him to q hos
pital. but Charlie said he would prefer to
go home and do his own surgery.
They think that Charlie danced 50 much

the unidentified man on the Good Hope
road was aroused TO a state OF jealousy
which could be Gained only by the hurl-
