It is quite a voluminous document, as all
such papers necessarily are, and has al
ready been recorded in ST. Mary's and
Charles Counties. This begins to look
like business, and we hail it as favorable
sign that another railroad will soon be
completed through our county. Go ahead
gentlemen-there's plenty of room for you
all Prince Georgian.
The Commodore was not in town last
Tuesday, but Col John w. was. The Col.
is fine looking man, anyhow, but he look
ed particularly well on Tuesday. 1t was
noticed he wore costly suit of black
broadcloth, and he said he had pair of
striped trousers at home ''but durn my
buttons if I wasn't afraid to wear them, for
the Times would say was from Calvert
county" No danger, Col, your stripes are
of perpendicular arrangement, those of I'M
pretending homespun Calvert are horizon
tally disposed.
Young ladies don't be afraid, any more,
to walk across Port Tobacco square. The
Times man never mentions names or tells
secrets, he only compliments in general
way. The cows won't bite, and Mrs. Scott
has lots of fine rigging. By the way, the
ladies generally are much interested to
find out the names of the two we spoke of
last week; the Times man has been several
times interviewed on the subject, but he
can't tell. If he was rash enough to tell,
he would have, it is true, that valuable
thing, the good opinion of two, but then
disappointment would bring upon him the
maledictions of all the others and, you see,
some experimenter has told us that cit
won't do to trifle with a woman's opinion
or the business end of wasp"
The meeting of farmers at Hughesville,
lately spoken of by the Times, was out
winded by the High-Low-Jacks of the
neighborhood, the first adjourned as the
night came on, the latter were holding forth
as the dawning day came in.
The Flash men of the East Hundred,
who lately flashed at the public through
the Times, are not from the East Hundred
at all, as we learn. They are only two Char
lotte Hall boys (not students, though they
ought to be,) who are getting proud, for
they are ashamed of mother st. Mary's and
are ambitious to pass themselves off as
East Hundred beauties.
Elias says he is out of the seed now, but
he used to grow corn that produced ears
almost as long as his own. Elias, on tall
yarns can't be beat except, by Elias on tall
corn.
Now the Times man is no judge of mil
linery, but very good judge of those who
wear it. His appreciation of those who
wear it is almost equal to their affection
for the article itself. So the other day,
ss JfsTll ls1elIts, anu
himself judging the judges, the aforesaid
Times man, on business bent, wandered in
to Mrs. SCOTS Millinery Store Several
beauties were there-we mean the bonnets,
NOT the ladies-of all hues and colors,
shapes and no shapes. Mrs. Scott has a
i full supply on hand, and everything look
ed very pretty. The pretty ladies looked
at the pretty things. and we looked at the
pretty ladies. The pretty things fascinat-
ed the pretty ladies, and the pretty ladies
fascinated us. All hands looked delight
ed, the Times man was especially so. To a
man in millinery store nothing is more
interesting than to carefully watch the
play of thought on lovely features, and
listen to the little talk of lovely lips. En-.

tier sex, and is never half so buoyant as
when we meet it in millinery store and
a bonnet is the subject. Ladies are con-
trarieties anyhow, and make out they don't
believe it, but men are better than bonnets,
and we are jealous of the things. ooh,
how truly charming;;'' saint that beauti-
full 5" shat would be so becoming to you -
Hoh, my, amt that nice" are only few of
the sweet enthusiasts lavished upon Mrs.
SCOTS selections, most deservedly too, but
II all that had been said to some sentiment
tai bachelor how devilish good it would
have made the fellow feel.
Not long ago, quite jovial coterie of
of energetic gentlemen wendell their
merry way to the neighborhood of sleepy
Chapel Point they were after having a
grand fish-frying frolic, and proposed to
wake the thing up generally. Those who
didn't go in OK carts and buggies mount
| ed their ready Rosinanties, piles of sacks,
in which to take home their fnny spoils,
did convenient service as saddle blankets
Well, glasses were tipped and the seine
was dipped, but the fishes did not multi
ply, the whole thing was failure as far as
the fshy feast was concerned. Carts, bug
gies and Rosinanties bore the hungry fish
ermen homewards by devious ways. Dis
appointment is terrible, and when accom-
panied with an angry appetite is all but
unbearable, so our amateur Isaac Walton's
inform us-aH this, too, after making such
extensive preparations for heavy haul.
If a Calvert county editor had been along,
wouldn't he have been funny about the
fish question (O
