Baltimore, has signed an order direct
ing the government to show cause, on
or before February 18th, why the Pc
titioners should not be allowed to in
tervene and contest the right Of the
government to condemn the court
house square site.
The petition was filed by Willis r..
Jones, Baltimore counsel, for the pc
titioners, whose local attorneys are
VIM. J. Richards and James A. Wise.
The Rotary Club, composed large
ly of Masons, who offered their old
building on the corner of the square
to the government for $4,000 and

ed in favor of the court house site.
Previous control of the four acres
laid out for a public square when
Caroline county was organized in 1773
has been in the hands of the Legisla-
ture. A Jail and school house erect
ed on the square by legislative action
were removed long ago by force of
public opinion.

NORTHAMPTON FARMERS
TO PLANT SPUDS SOON

Due to the exceptionally fine wealth
er conditions prevailing in Northamp-
ton the latter part of December and
in January farmers in the County are
we'll advanced in preparation for plant
ing potatoes, which will not, however,
be begun before February 18th, even
if the weather should be mild.
Indications are that there will be a
slight decrease in acreage over the
1888 crop in potatoes, with a slightly
larger acreage in cabbage. Tomatoes,
which for the past two years have
been occupying more of the limelight
in this section will also come in for a
further increase in acreage and those
who know predict large contracts for
this crop.
Since it is yet entirely too early to
prophesy regarding the remuneration
Northampton farmers are to receive
for their labors, they are, as one of
their number expressed it last week,
trusting that good year will come
along"

FROM OUR
EXCHANGES
FIRST REGIMENT, M. N. G.
TO GET NEW EQUIPMENT

Six hundred semi-automatic rifles,
hailed as the most efficient infantry
weapon yet developed in the United
States, will be distributed to the rifle
companies of the First Regiment,
Maryland National Guard, in the near
future.
The new rifle, known as MI and
expected to eventually supplant the
Springfield throughout the Regular
Army and National Guard, has met
the most rigid tests at the Infantry
School, Fort Benning. It is capable
of a sustained fire of 80 shots per
minute without exhausting the man
behind the gun.
The National Guard Bureau has de-
cided to issue the new weapons to
four National Guard Regiments, Sc
lecting the First Regiment for one
of these important tests In commune
cation to Major General Milton A.
Reckord, the Chief of the National
Guard Bureau, Major Blanding, wrote:
"Six hundred of these rifles will
be allotted to your State, for issue
to the 1st Infantry. This regiment
is designated as a reward for its rela-
tive proficiency in weapons training
as indicated by the Pershing Trophy
standings"
During the past decade the First
Regiment has been rated in the top
flight of National Guard Regiments
in small arms firing. Each year it
has qualified large proportion of its
men on the range during the summer
encampments.
Commenting on the decision to fur
nish his Regiment with the new
rifles, Col. D. John Marley, said:
"There are only $4,000 MI rifles
to be distributed to the National
Guard in the first allotment, and the
list Infantry is the second unit in the
Gaurd to be equipped. In fact it is
the only outfit so equipped east of
the Mississippi River. Naturally, here
at headquarters, we are delighted with
this recognition"

DELEGATE KOLB is IN

S. Denmead Kolb, member of the
Wicomico delegation in the House of
Delegates which last week introduced
bills to do away with "Blue Laws"
insofar as baseball, other sports and
movies in the county were concerned,
announced that since introduction of
the measure he has been "led to be-
ieve that large number of the peo-
pie are definitely not in sympathy
with these measures" and that he feels
it his duty to oppose them.
Mr.. Kolb's statement follows:
"There has been considerable dis
cussion pertaining to the two bills
introduced by the Wicomico delegation
legalizing baseball and various other
sports in Wicomico County, also NOV
ing pictures between certain hours on
Sundays.
"While I personally have definite
ideas pertaining to these two bills,
I feel that must serve the best in
terest of the voters of Wicomico Coun
ty who elected me.
From the numerous telephone calls,
letters, and petitions received oppos-
ing these bills, am led to believe that
a large number of the people of Wi
comico are definitely not in sympathy

CRISFIELD PHYSICIAN
MOURNS DEATH OF WIFE

Mrs. Lillian Horsey Norris, wife Of
DR.. r. R. Norris, of Crisfield, died
at the Eudowood Sanitorium at Tow
son, Maryland at 1870 o'clock Thurs
day morning of last week.
Mrs. Norris had been a patient at
the Sanatorium for some months, suf-
fering with a serious tubercular con-
dition, which recently had become so
acute her death was not unexpected.
She was born in Crisfield October
22nd, 1882, the daughter of William
P. Horsey and the late Clara Roach
Horsey. Her mother died when Mrs.
Norris was quite young, and she was
reared in the household of DR.. and

After graduating from High School
in Crisfield, Mrs. Norris attended, and
graduated from, Western Maryland
College, at Westminster, and there
made many warm friends and formed
associations that have endured until
her death.
For years she had been a devoted
member of the Protestant Episcopal
Church, attending services with a
regularity that was a shining exam
pie to her co-religionists.
Mrs. Norris is survived by her hus-

of member of the House of Dele

TALBOT LAW ENFORCERS
GOING AFTER DOGOWNERS

Owners of dogs in Talbot must be
prepared for vigorous measures this
year if they do not pay for their Ii
cense fees promptly. The County
Commissioners are prepared to en-
force the law, and they will call upon
the Sheriff to help.
The dog law, passed by the Legis-
lature some few years ago, is thor
.oughly unsatisfactory to the public
and to those local officials whose duty
it is to enforce, yet having no choice
in its creation.
When the law was enacted, many
owners of poodles, hounds, ours and
the like responded quite well to the
payment of license fees and a sub
stantial sum was built up for the
refunding of losses incurred through
marauding dogs upon sheep and fowl.
But claims, out of all reason have
been filed, and the inability of local
authorities to find man, whom they
thought proper and willing to enforce
the dog law has done the rest.
It is perfectly safe to say that only
a small portion of the dogs in Talbot
County are licensed-many of oul
best citizens "winking" at the meas
ure-some paying religiously, year
after year, while their next door neigh
bors are not bothered.
It seems certain that an "official
dog catcher" is necessary.
If the right man can be found, the
dog law which is Statewide, and
thrust upon local officials to enforce.
may prove workable. In the event
that it does not, then "teeth" should
be put into it by the present session
of the Legislature, for 10, half-en-
forced law is more unfair than no law
at all.

MARION CLERGYMAN TO
CONDUCT RADIO REVIVAL

Rev. D. Earl Willis, pastor of the
Baptist church at Marion has begun
a radio revival and will be heard each
Tuesday and Friday over WSAL for
a half-hour beginning at 1880 A. M.
Rev. Mr.. Willis has been pastor
of the Marion Church since last June.
He is native of South Caroline and
conducted a pastorate at the Green's
boro Baptist Church before accepting
a call to Marion.
In his work as pastor and evange-
list, he has had wide experience. He
presents, in a very significant way,
the Gospel, displaying many Bible
etrhings, or charts, drawn in colored
India ink, making a graphic presen-
tation of an illustrated spoken Cos
pei.
The radio revival is an innovation
of tAs Marion minister. However,
assurances of a successful revival
come from many sections where Mr..
Willis has worked and is known. He
is a graduate of Carson-Newman Col
lege of Jefferson City, Tenn, and of
the Southern Baptist Theological Semi
nary at Louisville, KY. He is young,
active, alert and Identifies himself
especially well with young peoples
interests, and yet old enough to be
settled and stable in his pastoral
work.
In the radio revival, his messages
promise to be most challenging and
meaningful, presenting the Gospel in
symbolism, pictorially, usually and
vocally. His slogan is eff you have
Christianity, help us to carry on this
radio revival; if you don't have it, lis
ten in and get it." ALI offerings re-
ceived for conducting this special evan
gelistic program will be used to keep
the radio revival going.
