The Times an Advertising Medium,
and New Advertisements.
Wewould call the attention of our read
ers to the TINES as an advertising medium
both at home and abroad. The TINES has
undoubtedly much larger circulation in
Charles county than any other paper, for
it is now and has been continuously for
thirty years taken by nearly every tax
payer in the county, and still our subscrip-
ton list is increasing. In Southern Mary
land we believe our circulation is as good
as that of any other local paper outside of
its county. In Baltimore city we have a
subscription list of which we are Justly
proud, and we have subscribers scattered
from Canada through the different States
to California. Besides all this we have
the advantage of an unusually large ex-
change list, such as only an old establish
ed paper like ours can possess. All these
advantages taken together make it one of
the best advertising mediums in Southern
Maryland, and those wishing to avail
themselves of its columns for that purpose
will find our terms moderate.
In this connection we would call atten-
ton of parties desiring to purchase real
estate to the advertisements in this weeks
paper. First, is the property known as
"Lethair," advertised by r. H. Edelen,
3. 81 / T. ~, la
neighborhood and Immediately on the
Railroad, and within two or three miles of
its terminus at Pope's Creek. The build
ings are all new and admirably situated
for the purposes for which erected. If
ever the B. & P. R. R. should pass into the
hands of a management which would look
to the true interests of the Railroad and
the convenience of the people, Lothian
would become one of the most valuable, if
not the most valuable Station on the whole
line of the road. 1t is the last place where
trains can conveniently stop before COM
mencing the descent to Pope's Creek,
which thence is an almost continuous
teau surrounded by forest of primeval
oak and Immediately on the public road
leading to Cobb Neck, Aliens Fresh, New
port and all that expanse of country known
as East Hundred. Practically, Lothian is
the terminus of the Road for our people.
Here passengers and produce from Cobb
Neck, that garden spot of Charles, should
meet passengers and produce from the
equally fertile Zachia and Newport coun-
try. Under the present foolish manage
ment of the Road the immense business
which ought to be done here is driven to
the river. But this condition of things
cannot last much longer and when a
change does take place we expect to see
Lothian rapidly become a thriving village.
The property will be a safe investment for
any man.
Next we have offered for sale by John
w. Mitchell, Esq, trustee, on the 10Th of
August, at La Plata Station, tract of
land containing 175 acres. A good size
for any one wishing a farm; most eligibly
located as regards health and convenience,
being only about mile from the Station.
City folks, here is chance for a country
home;
Next we will have offered for sale, by
Messrs Edelen and Mitchell, on the 25th
of August, the farm belonging to the late
Benz. P. Donnelly, in Newport neighbor-
hood. This farm contains some 200 acres
and very good buildings of all kinds. At
one time this was one of the most valua-
BILE small farms in this county and could
easily. doubtless be brought back to its
former high state of cultivation.
We would also call attention to the adj
vertisement of the old and well known es-
tablishment of Geo. Page & Co, which
appears this week in the TIMES. The re-
putation of this firm is two we'll known
ali through Southern Maryland to require
a word from US in their behalf Years of
upright dealing have made their name
familiar to our people. The furnish all
sorts of steam engines-portable or station
ary-for grist, saw or any other mills.
Also mills, mill wheels, machinery, and
materials for machinists of all kinds.
Purchasers should visit this we'll known
establishment before going elsewhere.
We also direct the attention of the pub
lie to the advertisement of Messrs. J. H.
Pugh & Co., of Port Deposit. These gen.
tlemen propose to furnish all sorts ofbuild
ing materials, ready dressed to order, such
as doors, sash, &C., and doubtless would
furnish an entire house out and out, ex-
cept the lathing and plastering, at much
less than the lumber could be purchased
and the building erected for in the ordi-
nary way. From their location at Port
Deposit they have the opportunity to select
their lumber from the vast quantity which
comes down the Susquehanna, and proba-
bly, get labor cheaper, and so can sell On
more favorable terms than others not so
eligibiy located. Their warehouse in
Baltimore is located at No. 70 $50 w. Pratt
street, near Gay, where their gentlemanly
agents Messrs. J. R. & F. W. Trimble, will
be happy to exhibit samples of the work
manshlp of the factory.
For those, who are fond of the sweets
of life, OF who have little ones at home,
who always expect something good when
