THE Potomac VALLEY RAILROAD.
-Pesident ]. M. Hood of the Wes-
tern Maryland Railroad, accompanied
by the directors of the Potomac Val
ley Road, are at this writing in this
place negotiating for right of way
through the lands adjacent to town,
through which the proposed road is to
run. The last survey made brings the
junction with the main line of the
Western Maryland road, a short dis
lance below Kemp's bridge and
about quarter of mile above this
place. The route then extends across
the creek, which will be suitably
bridged, and thence in a semicircular
course, crosses the Clearspring road
and from there on follows the route
of the canal nearly the whole distance
to Cherry Run, where it will connect
with the B. & O.. Mr.. Hood has said,
that the work of construction will
begin soon, and also that the depot
at this place was to be removed across
the creek at point about quarter
of a mile distant from its present loca-
ton.
Geo, H. Taylor, a highly esteemed
and worthy citizen of this county,

Neikirk, near this place, on Thursday
last of consumption, aged about so
years. The deceased bore the affiic-
tion of blindness from his infancy I'M
til his death, with calm resignation,
attending in his early life the Mary
land Institute for the Blind, where he
acquired and stored away in his fer
tile mind an excellent education. He
was an earnest and devout member
of the Lutheran church, consistent in
all things, and leaves behind him
many good fruits of an exemplary
! life. = transcript.

GOOD THINGS TO EAT.

MR.. J. S. TRAMMELL begs leave to
inform the citizens of BERKELEY, JEFFER-
SON AND MORGAN counties, that he has
again opened up business at the old Wis
ner Stand, next door to Lutheran Church
with an entire NEW STOCK OF FINE GRO
CERES which he has purchased in NEW
YORK for CASH, and which he is now
offering at VERY ATTRACTIVE PRICES for
STRICTLY SPOT CASH, or in exchange for
country produce. 1t is a well-known
fact that merchants who give credit al
ways count on large percentage of bad
debts, and figure their prices so as to
leave a profit over and above the sum
they calculate to lose in this way. What
does this mean to the man who pays his
bills and meets his obligations 1t means
that he is compelled to pay 10, 10, and
even 20 per cent more than a fair price
for the article he purchases in other
words he not only pays his own bills, but
indirectly pays the bills of every bad
debtor dealing with the merchant who
does business on credit basis. Our motto
is GOOD HONEST SERVICE, Low PRICES, 16
OUNCES TO THE POUND AND SPOT CASH.

FREDERICK's COMING FAIR.-The
thirtieth annual Agricultural Fair
at Frederick will this year be held on
the l4th, 18th 10th, and 18th of this
mouth, as will be seen in our adver-
Using columns. Always the largest
and best Agricultural Fair In Mary
land, the exhibition this year will be
no exception. The managers have
been tireless in their efforts to obtain
the best ofattractions for the four days
of the Fair, and that they have sue
ceeded is evidenced by those already
secured. A member of the Middle
States Racing Circuit insures the entry
of some of the fastest horses in the
county, and good racing will be fea-
ture. The public wedding is another
novel attraction and will take place
on Thursday of the Fair. The bicycle
racing, balloon ascensions and hurdle
and jumping contests by trained horses
are some of the other attractions.
The great Southern Exhibit of figs,
cotton, bananas, and other fruits of
the South will be most interesting,
and that of itself will repay all who
visit the Fair. Excursion trains will
be run on all railroads at reduced
rates of fare. Everybody wanting
four days Of genuine pleasure should
attend the Frederick Fair this year.
