KLEIN, Factory Representatives 3108 FREDERICK AVENUE, BALTIMORE, MD. PHONE, GILMOR 5441 William P. Butler, Towson auctioneer, pounded his gavel lively at Ashland on Wednesday, and after spirited bidding the entire village of 33 homes and a mansion house was "knocked down" to Mano Swartz, Baltimore city fur dealer, for $43,000. Little Hazel Barrett, five weeks old, the youngest inhabitant, slept peacefully all during the turmoil, for the event was nothing in her young life, hence she should worry-On the other hand, the older residents were much excited—in fact home was never like it before, that is, as far as Ashlanders were concerned. Now the questions going the rounds are. "Will the new land lord raise the rents; will he re shingle the roofs, dispossess them or leave them alone?" During half a century no one has bothered Ashland folks, except a few trains of the Northern Central Railroad. For years its garden patches, its stately trees, its. whitewashed fences have slumbered, but now 150 people will be affected. In the twenties of the last century Ashland was a hustling industrial community. It clustered about an iron foundary, where its inhabitants found employment, but the Civil War put the "blink" on its activities. Later, when the Loch Raven reservoir was being built, half the village which lay east of the railroad tracks was sold to the city of Baltimore—the old foundary and other industrial buildings going to the scrap heap. Meantime the late Joshua Horner, J. Fred C. Talbott and Emanuel Herman had purchased the town, and because some 20 heirs wished to realize on their interest in the village it was ordered sold by the Circuit Court for Baltimore County. The main house, an immense 2-story structure, now occupied by Mrs. Joshua Horner, dominates the village. Curiosity seekers who wended their way through the old house were vividly impressed with the great quantity of antique furniture and walls covered with family portraits. Down a shady lane of trees and across the road live Mr. and Mrs. Joseph Hoover, Ashland's oldest residents, and like the rest of the villagers are tenants, and during the progress of the sale showed anxiety, Mrs. Hoover saying: "We're afraid we may get put out. It's kind of hard after you've been here 41 years, When I was a bride I came down here from Monkton. Born and raised in this part of the country and I never got any further from home than Ashland—never) wanted to, either." It will probably be about December 1st before the new owner assumes control of the property—forj the village, being sold at Trustee's sale, the Court must ratify the sale. Mr. Swartz stated to a representative of The Jeffersonian that he would improve every house and make Ashland one of the most attractive of rural communities. Fifty years ago Ashland was a very prosperous little manufacturing town. The Ashland Iron Company owned the town and operated the blast furnaces, where they made pig iron. A large portion of the ore used came from Baltimore county. The Company owned and operated a mine at Oregon, about three miles from Ashland, located on the farm now owned by Mr. Sherman Kurtz, chief clerk in the Treasurer's office. This ore was hauled by wagons and they were continually on the road. The Company also operated a mine near Timonium and another in the neighborhood of Glyndon. The coal, of course, came from the coal regions of Pennsylvania. Mr. James C. Clark was superintendent of the Company, and he was a genius as an executive. The Northern Central Railroad operated in rather a ship-shod fashion in those days—that was long before the Pennsylvania controlled it. They had great difficulty in running their trains on any sort of schedule. Mr. Clark came to the rescue of the road and gave it a system for the running of their trains which was unanimously adopted, and there was no further trouble. Mr. Clark afterwards became famous as a railroad man and was president of the Illinois Central Road for years before his death. Mr. Clark was succeeded by Col. Walter S. Franklin, who was the Superintendent until the Cfompany ceased operations. The finding of coal and iron ore in great quantities in sections like Birmingham, Alabama, where labor was cheaper and coal and iron right at the door put the small furnaces out of business and Ashland had to go to the discard. It is an ideal town for the establishment of some industry that would not contaminate the city water supply which now covers a portion of the property. GIRD SETS TRAP IN RUM RAID TO SAVE FATHER. When her father began coming home late at night, showing evidence of having tasted beverages stronger than those allowed by Mr. Volstead, a Baltimore county girl decided to take matters into her own hands. First she traced her father to his nightly rendezvous. Then, studying the styles of city girls, she dressed up like a flapper, bent solely on pleasure, and visited the resort herself. After she had purchased a few drinks which she thought were of more than legal potency, she visited prohibition headquarters. The next night she was at the resort again. But this time a prohibition agent was with her, and drinks were bought but not consumed. The prohibition agent kept the beverage as evidence And that, according to Prohibition Agent Jonathan Paul, is what led to a raid on the property of Stanley L. Warfield of Slack Hollow, Deer Park road. Taken before United States Commissioner J. Frank Supplee, Warfield was held in $1500 bail on a charge of selling and possessing home-brew beer. Warfield posted his bond and waived a preliminary hearing. ----------o---------- LADIES OF TOWSON CHURCH TO GIVE SUPPER. AID SOCIETY OF FALLS ROAD CHURCH TO HOLD SUPPER.
