~ The undersigned, respectfully represents tina
,bev are entitled to Bounty Land, under the nc
of 18th of September, 1880, that they are informed
and believe that the INDICATED warrants are worth
more to them than the patented lanos woulo oe'
,ha, ,hev do not expect or desire to reside on the
land thus granted; that if patented to them, the
EXPENSE of agencies and taxes will be an a'nual
charge, reducing the value of the grant, which
,hev could avoid if permitted to sell the warrant
Your memorialists further represent that the law
by preventing the sale of the warrants, assum 81
that the officers and volunteers entitled TO bounty
lands, are not competent to act 10, themselves
,uh.rsss MANY of them are among the most intel
ligent and respectable citizens of the States They
therefore respectfully ask that the act aforesaid

a PPEAL TO THE MEMBERS THE MARYLAND
~ STATE AGRICULTURAL SocIErY.-We desire
that you should bear in mind, that on the 23d,
Gath. and 25th days of October, your Society will
hold its annual Exhibition and Fair at the city Of
Baltimore and we appeal to you, one and all, to
bring for exhibition thereat portions OF your sfock
the products of your orchards and Of your gardens.
Don't presume that any animal, or product, you
may own is inferior to others that will be here,
and be thus deferred from bringing them, as 1t is
only by comparison that the relative merits OF any
thing can be determined. The safer presumption
for you to arrive at, will be that what you have
is as good, if not better than that of others, and
that il behooves you to calamity enter the list OF
competition if defeated honorably, and the high
character of the judges is guarantee that you
can be defeated in no other way, you will enjoy
the luxury of knowing that others were more en-
tied to success than yourself
And while we address you to bring such articles
as are properly in your department, we crave per-
mission to solicit your interest, to induce your
scives and daughters to bring whatever appertans
to their peculiar departments, as embroidery, house
hold manufactures the products Of the dairy and o.

tions and above all things to come themselves, as

To the Manufacturers If agricultural Implements
and Tools we would say, that interest and patri-
otism both combine to enjoin upon you the pro-
priety Of making grand exhibition of your ma
chinery of all kinds, as from our present advices,
we are led to believe that the assembage Of farm
ers and planters, and Of distinguished strangers
from most OF the States Of the Union, will be
greater than upon any former occasion here or
elsewhere We therefore say to the agricultural
Implement makers and Mechanics Of the United States,
make il a matter of pride to display your machi-
nery at our exhibition, and vie with each other in
having the best and largest assortment on the
ground. Such ambition is laudable-is worthy OF
American genius, and should be cherished by the
American heart

fer favor by copying this notice.
