State Road Work.

The new contractors on the State
road work west Of town are pushing
things in a manner that shows they
intend to complete the job that con-
tractor Mullan laid down on. The
mixer was started on Monday morn
ing and on Wednesday the uncom
pleted section of road west of Harris
vile was finished and connected up
with the Porter's Bridge road, ESQ
feet of concrete having been laid in
three days.
The road from Harrisville to Por'
ter's Bridge will be opened to travel
in two weeks time. This will elimi-
nate long detour by way Of Colora,
as travel will then go by way OF Wal
nut Lane to Harrisville, distance of
little more than mile, to reach the
State road again.
Grading on the Rising Sun Harris
vile section Is being done by large
force of men and the mixer is to be
moved Immediately to Harrisviile
and concrete laid from this point
toward town. This section of road is
about mile In length.

The Reno Stock Co. gave nightly
entertainments last week, In theil
tent pitched on South Queen street,
the attendance being good each
evening. During Wednesday eve
ning's performance near tragedy
occurred, when one of the actors shot
at supposed escaping prisoner IN
the drama. The shot gun used was
supposed to contain blank shell,
but the scene proved little bit too
realistic to the actors than was COM
Portable, although the audience
knew nothing of it at the time. The
gun was fired just as the escaping
prisoner disappeared behind the
scenes, it afterwards developing that
his escape was narrow, as it was a
loaded shell and the charge passed
just over his head, tearing a hole in
the side of the tent and also narrowly
missing the ticket seller outside, the
shot striking the Cameron residence
across the street. No one was in
jured, but the performers had the
scare of their lives and there were
no more shooting scenes the follow
ing evenings, guns and revolvers
merely being threatened WITH but
not fred.

COUNTY TAX RATES.
Table Shows Increase In All But Two
Counties In State.

Increased cost of local government
is shown in the county tax rates for
the current year, a table of which
was completed recently by Charles
c. Wallace, secretary of the State
Tax Commission. In nearly every
county of the State there has been
a jump, but Baltimore city has, of
course, much higher rate than any
county. The county which has fixed
the highest rate is Kent, the rate for
which has been set at $2.51, an in
crease of $1.19 over the rate Of last
year. The lowest rate is enjoyed by
Washington county, which is paying
only 81. The only county showing a
decrease is Anne Arundel, whose
rate is reduced from $1.54 to $1.52.
The following table shows the rates
for last year and the rates fixed fol-

for Rising Sun, in addition to being

sessed a Winchester at one time or
another, and the love and respect
for the good old gun is just about
universal. And now that recently
there have been many new additions
to the Winchester family, there is
wide popular interest in the new
cousins and other relatives of the
famous repeating rifle.
Fifty-three years ago the Win
chester repeating rifle was placed on
the market by the Winchester Re-
peating Arms Company, of New Ha-
ven, Conn. 1t was a good rifle, and
achieved great popularity. So large
was the part played by the Winches-
ter rifle in the settling of the great
West and establishing law and order
that the name Winchester came
into common use in place of the
word rifle
Improved models followed in the
course OF time, including a COM
pletely successful repeating shotgun.
And with the coming Of smokeless
powder the Winchester Company
commenced the manufacture of am
munitfon, to insure Winchester US
ers the best possible cartridges and
shot shells for their rifles and shot
guns.
This great manufacturing estab-
lishment is branching out to make
all possible use of the knowledge ac-
