An Opportunity for the People Of
Rockville.

In Bal,i more one OF the most rapidly grow
ing enterprises of the last few years, and one
of the mos, appreciated as well has been the
inslallment business. Its great advantage and
benefits especially TO the medium aud poorer
classes cannot be overestimated Formerly
people in ordinary circumstances were COM
PEELED to do without great many necessary
comforts of life; that is, their houses were
scantily furnished, and only because they
could not al any time raise sufficient cash
money to properly furnish them. What little
furniture they had was OF the poorest and
cheapest class aud never made respectable
appearance, or gave an, satisfaction Now on
the Installment Plan any honest person, no
matter what his or her circumstances are, no
matter how poor or how itch, can get any
thing in the way of Furniture, Carpets, Stoves,
Crockery, Refrigeraiors, Baby Carriages, Par
lor Organs, etc., in fact any or everything ne
cessury to furnish the Home complete from
cellar 10 attic; they can get all these hy sim
ply paving II small amount cash down and
the balance on small monthly payments,
which are made to suit the circumstances and
are always made so low that the money will
popular in all the larger cities that over ,wo-
tlrds OF all the people now purchase their
household goods that way-iu tact all except
ing the extreme wealthy classes. Now the
people Of Rock vile never have bad this op-
portunily offered them, so the Peoples In
stalluent Company, ll9 and ll9 l-2 N. How
ard Street, between Fayette and Lexington
SITS Baltimore, the largest and best conduct
ed and most reliable Instalm house in Bal
tmore, have decided TO allow any resident Of
Rockville or immediate vicinity The same ad-
vantage as the people of Baltimore now en-
joy-that is to sell them anything which they
may desire to have on the Installment plan at
lowest cash prices and make terms of pay
ments low enough to suit any ones convent
ence This House not only sells everything in
the way of Furniture, Carpets, Stoves, Re-
frigerators, Baby Carriages, Crockery, Cut
ery, House Furnishing Goods, Parlor Organs,
etc., bu, also carries complete stock olSilks,
Velvets, Foreign and Domestic Dress Goods,
Ladies' Cloaks and Wraps, Millinery, fiems 1,
Youths, Boys and Chldren's ClIthing,
Shoes, Hats, Watches, Jewelry, etc, in fact
they are general outiitters and are the only
House in Baltimore where wearing apparel
as well as furniture too can be bought on the
Installment Plan at Cash Prices and very easy
terms OF payment This House will always
be glad to have the people of Rockville call
on them whether they intend purchasing or
not; will be glad TO have them look through
their immense warehouse and get full partic-
ulars regarding terms, etc Amy information
desired by mail will be promptly furnished.

wages of Farm Labor.-The May re-

wages Ol rdru huUOE.-l uo Way Ie-
port of the Department of Agriculture con-
tains some interesting facts in regard to the
wages of farm labor, the comparative labor
supply, &c. The report says the wages OF
farm labor are almost identical with th ose
of three years ago. The average wages per
month in Maryland for 1888 are put at
$lS.4S; in Virginia at $13.S2, and in West
Virginia, $lS.74 The average wages in the
Territories aud on the Pacific slope are
nearly or quite double the Maryland figures.
All the Eastern and Middle States, excep-
Delaware, are considerably above the Mary
land average. The average day wages in
harvest in Maryland are $1.15 with board,
and without board STAG; in Virginia, $l.30
and $1l0. Average day wages in transient
service other than harvesting In Maryland,
80 cents without board and 63 cents with
board; Virginia, 70 cents and 80 cents ;
West Virginia, S5 cents and 62 cents. The
average in all wages is higher than for any
year since 1875. There is said to be suffi
cheney of farm labor as a whole, but there
are localities in every State where scarcity
exists In Maryland, of 0,517 farms, % ,97S
are cultivated by the owners, 3 1878 are cul-
tivatcd by tenants at Il cash rental and 1861
by tenants on shares. The tenants share
in Maryland on poor or medium soils is
ordinarily two thirds, and on more produc
tive lands Ynd those near to good markets
one e-third, where only the land is furnished,
but with teams and implements supplied
by the owner he gets two-fifths to one-third.
Fertilizers are extensively used, and when
procured beyond the farm the tenant is
usually required to pay for at least his share.

thinks that the recent cold blooded muir
der of 90 cOlored men at FreetOwn, La ,
was "inopportune." That is a good
word. The inference is that it is not
the murder Of cOlored people in itself
which is deprecated, but that there are
times when it Is proper and other times
when it is injLdiclous. The particular
occasion selected by the Freetown
whites was one of the ''inopportune"
kind.
