It is located in the gray stone building opposite the east front of the Court House. Several important sales of real and personal property will take place in Baltimore county next week. See advertising columns of THE UNION today Towson is steadily getting to the front in a financial way as well as in others. We now have two National banks, a savings bank and a building association.

THE UNION'S calendars for 1907 will soon be ready for delivery They will come in handy shortly as the old year has very little over a month left in which to complete its record Last week's snowfall was almost unprecedented for this section of Maryland and had the temperature been a little lower the earth would have been covered to the depth of several inches. The Thanksgiving dinner will cost more this year than for many years, nearly every thing for the table being higher in price than usual. Perhaps there is just a trifle too much 'prosperity Old Jube" Pluvius is a jay. He's n. g He's any old thing you like to call him He hasn' any more idea about running the 'rain gauge' than a cow has about dancing the Virginia reel. The residents of Catonsville had a mad dog scare few days ago. While no person was bitten several valuable dogs were and some of these have been killed. The supposed rabid animal escaped. The Independent Ice Company has advertised in THE UNION today its ice and ice cream business at Towson This good chance for some enterprising man to engage in an established business. - Rainy Sundays appear to be the rule now, last Sunday ad ding another to the number. The month of November is almost making as strong a record for rain as did its immediate predecessor. Deputy State Game Warden Malcolm has lately been making matters quite lively for violators of the law, and pretty soon they will begin to find out that this is an expensive business for them. - The job department of THE UNION continues to turn out many sets of posters for public sales of personal property We never before knew so many of these sales at this season of the year. Heavy snows in the West and terrible floods in the South and Sout hwest have been among the weather records of this week. In Maryland the temperature at times has been almost summerlike. - During the past summer and early au tumn it was said that partridges were abundant in Baltimore county. If they were then they are surely not now because experienced sports men fail to find them.
