Mr.. J. Walter Carpenter and family,
Monday last, removed to Baltimore where
they will hereafter reside. Though Mr..
Carpenter has left St Mary's we hope that
he will not forget her, but will use his
truly great energies to secure for his native
county the regeneration which we trust
will not be much longer delayed. Our re-
sources are great; all they need is devel-
opment.
Last weeks storm did great damage to
our county roads and bridges. The road
bed at the west end OF the Plank Bridge,
this district, is SO badly washed as to be
almost impossible and in other places the
damage is nearly as great The road lead
ing from the bridge TO the Neck is so badly
washed that it will be cheaper TO condemn
a new road than to attempt to make the
old one passable.
