founder, editor and proprietor of The Prince
Georgian has laid down his editorial pen, and
with it his lahors and trials and retired to
private life, proposing hereafter we believe to
reside upon his estate near Brandywine. Dur
ing Mr. Turner's incumbency of the editorial
chair of the Pldnter's 4dUocate first, and after
wards of the Prince Georgian, he always
welded ready, vigorous pen, discussing with
rare ability all questions of State or National
interest Though very decided in his views OF
men and measures, he had the happy faculty of
always expressing himself with degree OF
conversation that was remarkable. We are
sure he carries with him, into his weli-earned
retirement, the good will and kindly feelings
ofevery man of the community in which he
lived so long Whilst regretting his loss to
the fraternity, of which he Was an ornament,
aud envying the repose which he can now
enjoy after his hard-work, we but feebly ex-
press ourSelf when we say, we wish him health.

4 Nccdcd improvements We are
pleased to be able to state that Mr.. W. NJ. Brent
hos made his arrangements aud commenced
getting ont timber to build a wharf at Brents
Landing, on Port Tobacco Creek. The wharf
will be located little below the present land
ing, where an Abundance Of water can be OBJ
tanned a short distance from the shore
Mr.. Rogers, of Alexandria, has contracted for
the erection Of the wharf and the work will
he pushed forward to speedy completion, with
the utmost rapidity, consistent with stability
Mr. Brent also contemplates in the near future
the establishment Of a store, and should pub
lie demands require, other convcnicnces at his
wharf. 1t is believed this wharf will be n
great convenience TO very large section Of
the county, which is now almost cut Off from
communication with the outer world except
at great Inconvenience and by hauling very
long distances. With a wharf at this point.
ana the business it will command we have
no doubt there will be several steamers calling
during the week, very much to the convent
ence OF the travelling community. who COM
plain very much of the exhorbitant fare they
are compelled to pay on the cars We GER
tainly wish the enterprise much success.
