Various Notes. 



Elmer C. Mayberry, a member of the 

 firm of Mayberry & Hoover and an ex- 

 president of the Florists' Club, is at 

 the Georgetown hospital, where his big 

 toe was amputated December 13. On 

 the preceding day, with two compan- 

 ions, he went into the woods of Upper 

 Marlboro, Md., after rabbits. While 

 walking along the edge of a gravel pit 

 the ground beneath him gave way and, 

 as he fell, one barrel of the gun was 

 discharged, tearing off a portion of the 

 large toe of the left foot. A surgeon 

 dressed the wound, but the following 

 day the amputation became necessary. 

 Mr. Mayberry had but recently recov- 

 ered from illness resulting from being 

 knocked down and run over by an auto- 

 mobile. 



There is some little talk of booming 

 William F. Gude to fill one of the va- 

 cancies in the board of commissioners 

 of the District of Columbia, the highest 

 honor that can be paid to any resident 

 of this city. The Anacostia Citizens' 

 Association has picked him as its can- 

 didate and other similar organizations 

 can be counted upon to back him if he 

 will say that he is out for the position.

 streets, northwest, will shortly move 

 into a new store, located diagonally 

 across the street from his present loca- 

 tion. This store is in a building but 

 recently erected and is far superior in 

 every way to his present quarters.

Inclosed you will find a sample of 

 parsley which is affected with a dis- 

 ease that is causing considerable loss 

 of crop. The plants that are suffering 

 the most were grown unusually dry; 

 among the plants that had more mois- 

 ture there are few that show any signs 

 of this trouble. I am growing parsley 

 and lettuce in the same house, and I
