THE JEFFERSONIAN, TOWSON, MARYLAND
THIS COMMUNITY ALWAYS FAVORED BY PRESIDENTS, BOTH DURING AND AFTER TERMS
President Adams Was Presented An Address Of Congratulation—
When Madison Died Business Was Suspended And
Great Procession Followed.
NEW DWELLING GOING UP AT AIGBURTH PARK.
(By Old Timer)
This community has always been favored by our Presidents during and after their terms in office. Washington was an honored visitor on a number of occasions. Receptions in his honor and also in honor of his wife were brilliant incidents in the city's and county's early history. • When Martha Washington came without the General the military and the municipal officials turned out and gave her an official escort. Quite different is the modern day when "the mistress of the White House runs over in the White House automobile to do her shopping or ride through the beautiful Green Spring Valley.
When President Adams came the corporation presented him an address of congratulation. Jefferson had friends in this section and he put two of them in his Cabinet, Gen. Samuel Smith and later his brother, Robert Smith. President John Quin-cy Adams enjoyed his visit here so much in 1827 that he prolonged it three days. When Madison died Baltimore city and Baltimore county suspended all business and there was a great procession, with a funeral car, which ended in exercises in Howard Park. Gen. Andrew Jackson was very fond of Baltimore, especially of the balls given in his honor. Delegations met Jackson and his approach to the city was announced by discharges of artillery in various sections of the county. When General Harrison came there was a big parade, Pierce, Polk and Tyler were nominated in Baltimore.
Lincoln, who received his second nomination here, visited Baltimore several times. When President Johnson retired Baltimore gave him a wonderful banquet, with eighty-seven items on the bill of fare. President Grant came to social gatherings, and once he delivered an open-air speech from Barnum's when it was so cold he had to turn up his coat collar. So the list runs. Mc-Kinley was very fond of Baltimore. Roosevelt said whenever he wanted to enjoy himself he came to Baltimore. Taft was a frequent visitor. Harding made speeches here before he was ever mentioned for President, and his Fifth Regiment Armory ad-, dress was a star event of his campaign.
Some day a faithful local historian will give the details of these visits
and the entertainments they evoked. In this account will be much about Woodrow Wilson. He studied for his doctor's degree here; he has Baltimore friends; he was nominated in the Fifth Regiment Armory and in the same place on the first anniversary of America"s entrance into the war he delivered his most notable speech.

EGGS MAKE DROP OF SIX CENTS.
The wholesale price on eggs was again back on its downward trend the latter part of this week, when a drop of 6 cents was reported in the wholesale market. Fresh desirable stock was being quoted at 38 cents wholesale.
As predicted last week, when eggs advanced 7 cents here, the situation was mere lya weather market and local commission merchants are of the opinion if present warm conditions exist an even lower market may be looked for.
Eggs are beginning to arrive more freely from both nearby points and outside into this market. The market ruled easy and unsettled, but with lower prices conditions may become more settled.

BANK IN PERIL.
In one of the banks the other day a girl clerk in the accounting department called a customer and said:
"I just wanted to inform you that your account is overdrawn eight cents."
There was a long pause and then an excited feminine voice inquired:
"Gosh! Do you have to have it this morning?"
Mr. Albert S. Cook, State Superintendent of Education, is erecting a new dwelling at Aigburth Park, South Towson. Wm. H. Sands is the contractor.

Judge Preston signed a decree in the Circuit Court at Towson granting Mrs. Augusta H. Engelberth an absolute divorce from Max H. Engelberth and awarding to her the custody of their minor child, Doris A. Engelberth, for whose support the father is required to contribute $7 a week until the further order of the* court.
The divorce was granted upon the ground of infidelity. Depositions filed in the case show that Mr. Engelberth, who is a member of the county police department, residing at Dun-ralk, had frequently been seen in the company of Mrs. Edna May Blondell, wife of Leo A. Blondell, and that on one occasion in November, 1922, they spent the night together in a private bungalow on Back River, occupying the same bedroom. Mr. Blondell, who was called as a witness in the case, testified that his wife and Engelberth had lived together as man and wife at the Dun-dalk Hotel. Engelberth made no defense to the wife's charges.

A bill was filed in the Circuit Court at Towson by L. E. Collings against G. Edward Christholf and Your Quality Meat Market, Inc. The plaintiff alleges that Christholf agreed to rent him a store at Reis-terstown to conduct a meat market and fruit and vegetable store, and not to rent any property owned by him for the same purpose. It is alleged that the plaintiff never has been given possession of said store building and that Christholf has rented other property to the Your Quality Meat Market, Inc., to conduct the same business.
The Court is asked to require Christholf to enforce the alleged contract, and to restrain him from renting property to the second named defendant. An order was signed by Judge Offutt requiring Christholf to show cause why the relief prayed for shall not be granted. Attorneys Lee I. Hecht and Webster C. Tall appear for the plaintiff.
