Messrs. Editors AS reported by your

our farmers very much behind in their work.
Many of them have not seeded their tobacco
beds, and little if any blowing has been DONE
Wheat crops are generally looking badly.

HOLLYWOOD, March 81, l

HOLLYWOOD, March 81, 1884. =
Messrs Editors in perusing the columns
of your ever welcome paper of the goth inst,
| CHANGED to eye communication headed
Hollywood. Being one of those who feel a
deep interest in what may be said of or con-
corning the welfare of my native place, Hol-
lywood, better known by its citizens as
"Steer-horn Neck" you can easily imagine
the hawkeye and anxiety with which read
the same, and must say much to my satisfac-
ton, finding 1t to be a suggestion of my fell
ow-teacher to the teachers of st. Mary's to
use every effort in their power to form what
has heretofore been known as Primary
Teachers Association. My ideas concurring
with those Of my senior and sire teacher, !
heartily endorse the principles put forth, know
ing, by being a member of such a society,
though only for a short time under Captain
Thomas administration, that the facts gained
have since proven of inestimable value TO me-
enabling me to impart knowledge of certain
principles with more ease and with grenter
progress. Then | assume the privilege to beg
Of his Hon, our Examiner, and my fellow
teacher to take such steps as they may deem
expedient to form number of such Assoca-
lions.
1t is true some patrons cry out our teachers
lose too much lime attending these Associa-
lions. Allow me to PROFOUND them the ques-
ton: What is day or even ten days in the
month compared with the inestmable bene-
ton to his Honor and felow-teachers, is that
such an Association being formed, the attend
ing them should he made binding upon its
members, that is, made compulsory. For in-
stance, impose fine Of 81 Or 80 on an abs mt
member not being able to give sufficient ex-
cuse for his non-presenee, and let said fine be
used to fit up library for the benefit of The
Association Every other county can boast of
Teachers Association, then why let our dear
old Alma Mater remain in the background 2
Let us take it as a duty of ours and do as
the carter was commanded by Hercules--put
our shoulders TO the wheel and work with
will. We cry out ignorance, ignorance how
can we hope for else whilst so little interest is
manifested In educating the youth? Fearing
less intrude upon your limited space, Messrs.
Editors, | will close by giving you the news.
The travelling is--well, as certain young
man with q beaver would say, just awful.
st. Patrick's passed off remarkably well.
Wheat crops in this section are looking very
well in spite OF the bad Winter. Most
of our farmers have finished making tobacco
beds and are preparing for ploughing. How
are your lady friends making out during this
Holy Season2--greatly emacialing, dear say,
but none the less attractive for all that ifthey
are like the ladies of this neighborhood, for a
certain young W, of your section, is-well,
just fearfuly in love--and believe much 10
the chagrn Of another of these certain ones.
His name2 Well, ! forbear 10 tell, In sym
paihizing for him, can only add an Amen.

The present outlook is that there will be
quite building boom in our county this
year.
Mr.. James f. Matthews, Of the Charles
county bar, was in attendan at our Court
during the past week.
Ex-Judge, Dan'l. R. Magruder has also
been present during Court.
Mr.. George Blackstone, of Baltimore, was
in our Office last week. Mr.. Blackstone is
looking very well, and report says that he
is doing thriving law business in the city.
1t is with the greatest pleasure that we learn
of his success for we know of no one who
better deserves it.
Mr.. VIM. A. Fenwick and family, Of
Washington, are on visit to friends in this
village.
Miss Lottie Fenwick and the Misses Mad
dox, who have been visiting friends in the
city, returned home per Steamer Sue last
Monday.
Mr.. Geo. NJ. Bohanan had his carriage
broken whilst on his way to this village on
Tuesday last. Mr.. H. Norris also broke his
buggy while travelling over the same road
on the same day. We think that it speaks
well for our county mechanics that SO few
vehicles have been broken during the win
ter, for work that will stand our roads in
their present condition would, elsewhere,
outlast the Deacon's famous Shay. ri
We are in receipt of new Baltimore pa
per, yclept the INFANT, Of which the name
of P. L. Downs appears as one of the editors.
We are not certain whe' her this is our Parry
Lee or not, but the paper is a bright one
and reflects great credit upon its editors.
The crowd in Town on Tuesday last, was
larger than on any previous day during our
present term Of Court.
In the issue of the 22nd inst, Mr. John
p. Briscoe announces that he has assumed
entire control of the Calvert Journal. We
wish him every success.
The 2sth instant, is fixed for free lecture
on the Diseases and Structure of Horses, by
Prof. Cushman, of Ohio.
We are indebted to DIR. Thomas A. Lynch
for present of fine perch. The fish were
caught in Herring Creek aud old fishermen
say Are as fine DIS any they ever saw.
A1atuxent friend treated us to a present
of oysters which were so large and fine that
We would not measure them for fear that
they would throw too completely in the shade
certain Potomac ones that we have hitherto
been Dragging on. The oysters came from
Mr.. Phil. Tppett's and two Of them weigh
ed five pounds.

Grand Jury Report.
To the Honorable, the Judges of the Circuit
Court for Saint Marys county:

To the Honorable, the Judges of the Circuit
CouIt for Saint Marys county:
The Grand Jurors of the State of Mary
land for the body of st. Marys county, beg
leave TO make the following Report for
March Term, 1884:
We have, in conformity with the require
mcnts OF the law, thoroughly examined and
considered the Report of the Grand Jury of
September Term, 1883, and as all the sug-
gestlous therein made are in our Judgment,
wise and wholesome, and if carried out, we
believe would greatly benefit the county f.
nancially, we give them our full and UNI
qualified endorsement And in addition,
to what is therein stated in reference to the
repai of the Public Roads Of the county,
we recommend that MS many places in the
said roads are now almost impossible, that
the money now levied and intended for their
repairs, be first applied to mending the said
places which are now dangerous 10 the pub
lie travel, and in all cases of mending the
said Public Roads, we recommend and al
wise that the said places be thoroughly re-
paired and not simply patched as has been
the custom heretofore, and that all repairs
made on the Pablo Roads of the county, be
u''ho ~ t",iPctci1 anu ieopObslpie pdItleS,
believing this to he true and wise economy.
We further recommend that the tin-spout-
ing of the Court House be arranged in such
manner as to prevent the waters from
running under the Court House and thus
damaging the walls
The Jail we find in neat condition and
the prisoners well cared for.
In conclusion, we tender our thanks to
our courteous and efficient States Attorney
for his prompt assistance during our ses-
sions. Our thanks are also due to your
llonors for the courtesy and kindness ex-
tended to us, and we now respectfully ask
to be discharged.
