Local notes reflect cold wave and area activity
The piece catalogs a mix of town news: a cold wave prompting cheap robes and blankets at the hardware, the steamer Choptank withdrawn from the Nanticoke route for winter, upcoming high school funding via an extra levy in Centreville, and local deaths and events. It notes Democratic meetings in Annapolis, new dwellings planned at Harmony, varying egg prices, canning plans, a house fire with half-cover, and several local figures and incidents including a templeville school festival, sale of Anstett farm, and injuries to Felton carpenters. Also mentions Baltimore receivers for unfinished houses, a Dorchester native officer with the Corbin, and Easton law reviews by Talbot county commissioners.
