The Only Hope for Southern Eahry-
land IN the Pearii,

The Hagersto Nd, Mail thinks the
hone OF southern Maryland farmers lies IN
the cultivation Of peaches. Southern Mary
land, 1t says, Is the native home OF the
peach. Trees grow wild in fence corners
aud produce year after year abundantly.
Seeding trees have been known 20 live and
bear fruit for 50 years. No better fruit can
be grown on our south mountain peach
belt nor anywhere else. That peach lands
will continue TO sell there for gl0 or $lB
per acre whilst the stony ground &C the foot
OF the mountain sells for 800 cannot ba
expected. They are nearer to market and
shipment by boats is cheaper and In every
way better than by rail. Many years ago
New Jersey was the great p5acb state. then
Delaware and then the Eastern Shore OF
Maryland New Jersey mas long since
ceased TO grow peaahes Tae peach quail
ties in the soil OF Delaware ara nearly OK
hausted, and It Is predicted that In very
few years no peaches will go 20 marRet
from that state. The yelows Is playing
haYoc with tine orchards OF the Eastern
Shore. There was failure OF the crop
there this yeGr, whilst the few orchards
of Calvert county bore sbnaiantly.
We understand that PERSONS interested in
the peach culture have already beea visit
ing Calvert county and inspecting tho land,
whilst the owners OF the soil will plant
great numbers OF trees next spring. IL q
COMMITTEES of southern Maryland gentlemen
would visit the peach belt OF this county
they could learn a Sreat deal to their adj
vantage. We believe that nowhere else
has so much thought and good judgment
been exercised in peach cnlture as In our
south mountain belt. II caring for and
tertilizlng trees, packing fruit and drying
or otherwise utilizing surplus or unmarked
able fruit and in seeking the best markets,
our peach growers have no equals. The
cultivation OF tobacco In southern Mary
land will give placs to tho peach az 1t has
given place here to wheat. Here III WASH
ineton county other industries will divide
with wheat the attention Of our farmers.
We look for Rn advance OF prosperity
among our people, but 10 the tour southern
counties we bsleve the advance will be a
sudden transition, and that the people will
find their lands marketable at fair prices
before they know II.

for CbestertOyn.

Baltimore sun Special
CuEsrERTowN, Nd, Oct. ia meeting
was held here tonight In the Interest OF
the Baltimore & Delaware Bay railroad,
when comprises the line OF the old kent
County road, the specific objects being to
discuss the propriety OF the extension OF
the road from its present terminus, on the
outskirts OF Chestertoun, through tine
town to a point on the Chester river,
distance OF nearly one mile, and the change
OF the depot site near to the centre oil the
town. Messrs. Thlelens ard STACY. owners
of the road, and other railroad gentlemen
were present, together with about 30 resi-
dents OF the town, Charles Il. Nestcott
was made chairman of tho meeting.
Mr.. Thialens stated the condition OF the
road. He said that when he FIRST APP
proaehed Mr.. Maxwell to purchase the
road ne was asked si01, 900 for It. but that
1t was finally secured for 5000, 600, condi-
tional upon his putting an additional
sl25, 900 on the road In tho way OF repalrs.
They hnd already spent i90,lO0 in repairs.
He said there was no doubt tue eonnec-
lions with the Jersey Central from Bombay
HOOK would be permanently made. The
extension to COLCHESTER would also GER
tainly be made, bug not until the main line
was Ia satisfactory coDdttion-some time,
possibly, in the early part OF the coming
year, When the extension was completed,
ut uu 6stlnhteu Cost Ol : u,uuVi tue Nlhucu
Indebtedness OF the road will be S375,OOO.
The net earnings OF tho finished portion
OF the road-thGt ~, from Clayton TO Ches.
tertown-were 100000 for the past four
months. and that, too. without peach
crop. He was sure the road would pay
handsomely and that the stock would be at
par very soon. He proposed that the citi-
lsns Of Chestertown subscribe TO at least
enough OF the stock to extend the road to
Chester river and build depot on the new
location. The cost would only be about
$4,000, as the right OF way had been
acquired and paid for.
The most important matter to onr clti'
zens Is the COLCHESTER Neutrality-suspicious.
the road shall 10 straight on from Wooton
station TO COLCHESTER, with u branch TO
Chestertown, or have the extension made
from Chestertown. Mr. Tnielens expressed
himself as favorable TO the latter, stating
that the loss OF 10 or Is minutes In time by
| the curve would be counterbRlaneed by
having the one line instead OF the branch
addition.
stock subscriptions were left at the bank
and great change in our railroad facilities
| Is looked for.
