was little over 4, 600. This is good show

Is the Martial spirit Dead

The above query Is suggested ia view oi
the fact that steps have yet been taken TO
organize militia company and secure for this
county the appropriation available under an
act Of the last Legislature, which provides for
the forInatios of three Militia Companies in
Southern Mary yland Calvert, Charles and
Prince Georges. Fifty thousand dollars was
appropriated for this pur pose and un less militia
companies are organized within six mouth;
from the passage Of the act these counties will
be drbarred the benefit Of the law. 1t is big b
time some steps were being iaken TO secnre our
share OF the States lihrraliiy towards its citi-
zen soldiery and none know how sIOu We may
need a few we'll drilled soldiers to protect our

make him but the ghost of Senator gliding a.
bout i'll the Restless manner that indicates his

and pants which are generally too long; fastens
the lowest button on the vest thus showing an
immaculate white shirt bosom, terminating at
the neck in An old d-fashioned rolling collar, half
hidden by long. gray hair and beard that give
him a wild, rather than a patrarchal, look.
The following story is told about him: On ex-
ploding the mine at Petersburg, Malone was
slightly wounded. Being anxious lest his wife
should hear of it, without knowing the nature OF
his injury, he sent CAP w. r Dement, to inform
her. The captain called on Mrs. Malone and
told her of her husbands accident and assured
her there was no Cause for anxiety. But the lady
was not satisfied with the report, and said =

Port Tobacco times, and Charles County advertiser., 1886-08-06

Referring to the tobacco crop in Nirsini.,
Colonel Randolph Harrison. commissioner OF
agriculture for that State. in a report issued
Thursday, says: There is no doubt that the
outlook for a good tobacco crop, or, to speak
with more precision, 'for a crop OF good to.
bacco," is very unpromi>ing in Virginia.
Plants were not lacking, AS = general thing.
but there has been so little in,erssl between
rains since plsntlng season began that much OF
the tobacco WAS doubtless planted on TOO
much .e.son"-a great hindrance to its grow
ing Oft yell. AS every old p an,er knows. Then
the lard has not heeH in good condition to
work and the workings that could be given
have done very litile good because smother
rain would come directly afterwards and Set
all the grass that was cut up, at the same time
packing the ground so that plants could no,
thrive Sach is the general condition Of the
crop in Virgins, ,ceording to the commission
sr's belief. based upon what be his seea and
hea RI and what he knows of tobacco growing. "
