Messrs. Editors IL read with
great pleasure your account Of the
nomination of our popular county
man. j. Frank Ford. for Clerk of the
Court of Appeals, and viii say that
| never read an account of any
thing that ever gave me more gem

ination, but the complimentary and
spontaneous manner in which il was
made. MIR. Ford 10 O man who has
shown since his entry into public
life, not only that he is a man wor-
thy to be trusted, but that he is
one also who knows how to achieve
success. 1t now becomes the i'm
perative duty Of every Democrat to
put his shoulder TO the wheel ana
detsrmine thunfAltsring seal khst
the whole Democratic ticket, State,
Judicial and county, shall receive
the largest vote in this county that
has ever been given for it before,
not only for the sake of Mr.. Ford,
but in appreciation Of the high hon
or which has been conferred upon
this county by his nomination.
The cars are still running regu-
larry to this place. The passenger
train arrives at Mechanicsville about
1850 p. m. and leaves in the morn
ing soon after sun rise, and the pas
senger and freight arrives about 12
m. and returns less than half an
hour. The officers are said to be
very accommodating.

ing on at the colored Methodist
Church, near Newmarket, for the

The long rainy spell is ended and
we now have a period of dry, hot
weather. Much damage was done
to the light land corn, but that on

TCOMNUNICATED.

BRowNwOOD, Texas, Aug. IL.
Messrs. Editors 1T is impossi-
BILE for me, at this time to write
you a lengthy letter. In fact, /
should have longer remained silent,
had / not seen by your paper that
the Democracy of Maryland has
honored j. Frank Ford with the
nomination for Clerk of the Court
Of Appeals. In view Of this joy
GUS event, what man of st. Mary's,
of Democratic faith, though in dis
tant lands, could refrain from Civ
ing expression to the sentiments
and emotions which the event in
spires
What do we behold? !? A gallant
son of the very cradle of political
and religious liberty finally nomi-
mated to the position to which his
fidelity, talents, patriotism and
matchless popularity justly entitle
him. Well may you rejoice, good
men and Democrats of old st.
Mary's! And after you have given
full vent to your overfowing feel
ings, resolve, that under the leader
ship of such a gallant knight as j..
Frank Ford, in whose book Of des-
tiny defeat is not written, you will
by a united, earnest and patriotic
effort, rescue Southern Maryland
from the blighting influence Of the
Republican party and place her
under the sweet and benifcent in
fluences Of the political creed Of
your fathers. Mr.. Ford and his
numerous friends will please accept
my hearty congratulations, and ]
promise, if possible, to be with
them on election day. With kind
remembrances for all and best wishes
for the success of the Democratic
Ticket, / remain, as always, friend
and lover of old st. Mary's.
Very Respectfully,
ID. A. LYNCH.
