An OLD BUILDING

In Use.

Just below Church Greek, on the
farm now occupied by Mr.. Walter
Harrison, is an old building which
is probably one of The Oldest In
the county; it was used By the
grandfather of the late DIR. Thomas
H. Williams, of this city, ~ q
storehouse, for a number 0f tn01s,
and many thousands Of 5s&zs'
worth of goods passed through Its
doors. After its usefulness lee q
storehouse had ended, 1t becpme q
barn, ON the farm where Mr.. Hsrri-
son now lives, and despite its age.
many of it's timbers are in an ex-
cellent state of preservation.
Giving a faint idea of its. age Is
the fact that a calendar supplement
of the Baltimore American for the
year 1914, nearly one hundred
years ago, is plainly visible upon
one of its walls. While the entire
calendar is no longer preserved,
there is enough of it le~ to show
the year, some of the moi 8, and
the heading of the paper.
