which are actually abandoned as not
worth cultivation at all. But there are
many which owners or renters have
given up to some one else, because
they have not been able to make the

vacant and tumble-down farm houses
were passed along the way. In reply
to a question about them, the physi-
can said that in most cases these

owner of an adjoining farm who had
been more thrifty than his neighbor
and who was now cultiyating the en-
larged farm more economically and
efficiently than it would be possible
to operate the two smaller farms sep

large shed situated along the Western
Maryland railroad at Graceham, and used
TOR storing hay, straw, etc, was burned
to the ground together with its contents,
which at the time consisted of three car
loads of bailed rye straw.
The business at Graceham is conducted
by Mr.. J. C. Pyles. Men were in the
shed packing straw when they discover
ed blaze in one end of the shed. There
being no water. convenient, the entire
building was soon enveloped in flames
and the structure and contents soon de-
stroyed.
No one seems to know how the fire
started There were no trains on the
road Immediately before the blaze in the
shed was discovered, and the roof and
siding of the building was of corrugated
iron.
Some years ago the warehouse at
Graceham was burned and soon after
ward hay shed. Both were rebuilt.
No damage was done the warehouse
Monday as the wind drove the flames
away from the building. Cars had been
ordered placed on the siding in which to
load the straw for shipment.
We understand Mr.. Pyles carried no
insurance.
