Have you engaged your turkey for
Thanksgiving Day? Don't forget small
one for your poor neighbor also. As Presi-
dent Cleveland says in his proclamation,
LET US generously remember the poor and
needy, so that our tribute of praise and
and gratitude may be acceptable in the
sight of the Lord.
The credit of having induced many of
our farmers to try trucking" is largely due
10 the efforts of Messrs George +. Pabsts
and c. A. Graef We believe that those
who have tried are satisfied that there is
money in the business and we expect next
season 10 see them curtail their tobacco
crops, devote more land and time TO struck
Ing" and increase their profits.
AS TO Potatoes, the latest returns place
Mr.. J. Frank Knott ahead by large ma
jority. Mr. Jos +. Pursel recently weighed
for him at Mr.. c. NJ. Bohanan's store 43
potatoes, the net weight of which was
seventy pounds. Mr.. Knott must have
large crop of this kind for he writes the
BEACON that he will send US the potatoes
some day this week per either Mr.. Ray
mond Ford or Mr.. J. b. Pursel.
The ST. Mary's river section of our county
is coming to the fore as fruit country.
We are told that in that neighborhood there
will be next year 10000 peach trees in
bearing. OF this number, Mr.. James Z.
Coppage has an orchard Of 1000 and ex-
poets to realize therefrom more than will
be obtained from any Queen Anne orchard
of the same size. We trust that his expec-
tations will be realized. ST. Mary's is the
coming peach and truck county.
st. Mary's Republicans will have no
dearth of candidates from which to select
judging from the announcements that al
ready appear in their party paper. For the
Senate Wash. Wilkinson, DIR. z. r. Nor
gun, John N. Graves and John +. Cecil

ilfany. 10. F. Morgan, for Senate, is the
