Our Centennial Exhibition.

Mr.. Editor AS the character Of our Cen
tennial Celebration, to come OF on the 9th
of September, does not seem to be fully un-
derstood, | beg leave through your columns
TO explain it.
First, the object so far as understand the
committee, is 10 bring together all the cente-
uarians and old and venerable men of the
county, that we may have an opportunity OF
paying TO them, and through them to those
who have gone before, all proper honor and
respect
Second, the committee wish to gather and
bring together as many relics Of olden times
rs possible, such as books, papers, charts, pic
lures, household furniture. 1t is desired that
each exhibitor shall mark in large letters his
or her name, with that of the article and date,
nearly as can be, at which it was bought or
used For the reception and preservation Of
such articles of value the County Agricuitu raj
Society have generously rendered the use of
their ball and glass cases with lock and key.
This interesting department will be under the
especial care of committee, of which Mr..
II. W. Talbot is chairman.
Third implements of husbandry, household
work and handi-crait, such as were used be-
fore the day of modern inventions.
Fourth, after ntroduclry prayer, with
proper invocation and thanksgivings by the
Rev. Basil Barry, then ode will be recited
by Mr. Henry Clay Hollowell, to be followed
with the statistics of the county by Thomas
Anderson, Esq. and an oration by his honor
Chief Justice Bowie. These exercises will be
interspersed with both vocal and instrumental
music.
Fifth, then will follow an old-fashioned So
cial feast or picnic, to which such OF the
farmers and householders of the county as
conveniently can expected to contribute by
basket or otherwise. All strong drinks ex-
ce2t domestic wines, are excluded. After this,
the afternoon and evening will be given up to
the Young people for such rational amusement
and enjoyment as may be improvised for the
occasion, with probably fireworks at night.
What Montgomeran will not delight to be
present and contribute 10 This Centennial gath
ering? 1t cannot occur again for hundred
years. We therefore bid all welcome No
charge for admission.

giving you my opinion Of J. j. Turner & Co s
Excelsior" have always been charv OF
giving certificates of the excellence of fertii-
zers, because farmers are apt TO form their
conclusions hastily and often misledd others,
but think have tested the Excelsior" suf-
iicienlly to warrant me in saying that it is at
least equal to any ''ammoniated Super-phos-
phate" at or near the same price that has been
upon the market in Virginia. Have used il
upon wheat and tobacco, and regard il as
Admirable for either crop, though candor re-
qures me TO say that at the present price OF
wheat 90 not think il will pay TO use any
commercial fertilizers for that crop, unless
with the ulterior object of getting a stand OF
clover or other grass.
1t may be proper for me to state that have
been using commercial fertilizers ever since
the introduction of Puruvian Gnano into
general use in Virginia, and thnt | presume
few persons have tried more of the different
Preparations sold in our market, so that |
have no small experience.
Very truly yours, RANDOLPH HARRISON.

AT meeting Of the Committee in charge OF
the county centennial celebration held on
August 18th, 1876, it was resolved to call on
the ladies of the county to assist in making
said celebration success. As was said in a
previous communication it is well known that
there are great many relics and objects OF
interest connected with the Revolutionary

The possession OF our citizens, and the Com
mitee earnestly desire that the ladies of the

therance of this object "A committee of ladies,
one from each election district was appointed
to take charge of the matter and cooperate
with the COMMITTEE Of gentlemen already ap-
pointed for that purpose The committee
consists of Mrs. @. J. Maddox, Miss Rebecca

tion, labeled with description and signed by

Tournament at Hollands Corner.

1t was our extreme pleasure to attend a
tournament on Tuesday last at Holland S
Corner, in this county. The managers of the
affair deserve great credit for the excellent
manner in which the entire affair was con-
Quoted as the tournament was pronounced by
the vast crowd present the grandest affair OF
the kind that has taken place in the county
for many years. AT lO;3O a. M, ibe knights,
clad in brilliant and becoming uniforms, APP
peared before the grand stand with Chief
Marshal BENZ. Candy at the head of the COL
umn. Our hospitable and courteous friend,
Col. Watt Bowie, was then introduced and
delivered the charge to the knights. He re-
ferred to the reputation for galantry that our
Maryland boys had always sustained and in
graceful terms of cheerful encouragement
urged them TO the charge. A few moments
later and the shout of heralds gave warning
to the knights TO prepare to charge. Twenty
one knights rode. The following is list of
the names of the successful knights and the
ladies crowned

A Card upon Congressional Affairs

ROCKVILLE, Aug %, 10
In view of the approaching nomination by
the Democratic party of II candidate for Cou-
gress from the 9th Congressional District Of
Maryland and having seen my name men
toned as an aspirant for the nomination, !
embrace this opportunity TO say to my friends
that | am too much welded TO old customs
and precedens, especially in time like the
present, to at;emp, the adoption Of new
rule. From time immemorial it has been the
custom of our party in this District 10 accord
to its Representative an opportunity to serve
a second term, unless from some Just cause
the representative has rendered himself OBJ
jectiorable. Looking TO the harmony aad
success of our party at time like the present,
so critical and fraught with such vital inter SITS,
deem it proper to say that we should accord
to the Hon. VIM. Walsh the nomination for "A
second term, His action in Congress during
the past session has been calm, able, conserva-
tive and free from reproach, showing himself
worthy of the confidence and support Of his
constituents.
And it is to be most earnestly desired that
the present contest shall be free from bicker
ings and personal feuds in our own ranks.
Let the distress and entire staguation of all
kinds of business and enterprise which now
hangs like pail of mourning over the length
and breadth Of our land be n sufficient warn
ing to all good citizens OF The consequences OF
the past of misrule and recklessness which has
entailed such dire national calamities upon
us.
Let no discussions spring up in onr State
nominations; let us stand solid and together,
that we may set an example to our brethren
of sister States, showing how fully we appre-
ciate and are aroused to the Importance of the
present moment, and when the great battle
shall have been fought, as | trust, hope and
believe, with success, national and ate, let
old Maryland be first and foremost in the
ranks and let our legislators at the national
capitol be such as we can look to with pride and
safety in the future management and control
of the Government GEoRGE PETER
