The Advantages of Aberdeen

Aberdeen has already many advantages for a
thriving inland town. 1t has two great trunk rail-
main through route OF travel connecting the South
and the great cities of Washington and Baltimore
with Philadelphia, New York and the North and
East. In addition. it is in proximity to Bush river
famous for its ducking and fishing resorts, which
affords ample opportunities for the shipment Of
freight by water to almost any point.
The low rate of county taxation, as compared
with the cities, is another strong point in favor of
Aberdeen as a business place.

A Valuable Addition.
In SidaS nf fba Dnltimora onl M;

On both sides of the Baltimore and Ohio Rail-
road, and extending nearly to the p, w. and b.
Railroad. appears desert in the heart of the town.
Sedge fields and woods seem to blot out the spirit
of Improvement. This land, for many years in
litigation. has indeed acted as check on the pro-
gress of the place. 1t consists of about 300 acres
all of it capable of being converted into handsome
and desirable building lots. This land was owned
jointly bya number of persons, some of them
minor children, and many difficulties being thrown
in the way of contemplated purchasers it has for
years been an eyesore and detriment to the place.
Recently, however, all legal obstacles were re-
moved and the tract was purchased by Mr.. John
e. Rouse an enterprising citizen of Bel Air. for
$4,000. Scarcely was the purchase contaminated
before others saw in it the opportunity for proita
BILE investment in a growing town, and Mr.. Rouse
has lately sold three Ourths of his tract to Messrs
Thomas H. Robinson. I. LyttletOn Hanway and
James b. Baker, of Hartford county. and William
III. Bayless, of Baltimore city, for $4,000. 5000
more than the entire tract cost him, reserving 10
acres for himself. These gentlemen are all men of
means and business foresight, and it is their in
tention to lay out this land in building lots of
yenient size and encourage persons of small means
to invest in them as homes. Wide streets will be
laid out with especial reference to future develop
ment of the town.
They propose also to offer the most favorable in
ducements to business enterprises of all kinds to
locate at Aberdeen. and capital can be secured in
the neighborhood for the promotion of almost any
legitimate business which can be carried on there
There is on the property a fine natural spring,
capable, it is believed, of supplying the town with
water

Curability of Consumption,

This has been a vexed question among phi ysi-
clans, opinions, even in the same school. being
strangely divergent. OF this, however, the pub
lie are convinced it is terribly prevalent disease
and the average doctor meetswith scant successin
treating it. Consumption is in reality scrofula
of the lungs, and is liable to attack any whose
blood is tainted For driving out the scrofuous
humors. and thus removing the predisposing
cause, DIR. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery is
a sovereign remedy. 1t purifies bad blood. heals
scrofulous ulcers. and, whatever difference of
opinion exists as to curing advanced cases of
consumption. it remains that many pronounced
"incurable" have been by 1t brought back from
the brink of the grave to restored health and

CHANCE FOR PROFITABLE INVESTMENT

For some wears past a tide of investment for sur
plus capital and business energy has been flowing
towards the Valley of Virginia and other Southern
points in such volume as to lead thoughtful men to
conclude that the various "booms' may be some
what overdone. Consequently capitalists are now
disposed to proceed more cautiously. This pause
has led many persons to enquire whether there
may not exist nearer home, opportunities for safe
and profitable investment fully equal to
those to be found in distant localities
Even Hartford county capital has been drawn
INTO these distant investments unmindful of the
rare opportunities which exist in our own county
for building up manufacturing towns of considera-
BILE size, where employment can be given to num-
Der of people and good home market supplied for
all the surplus agricultural products of the sur
rounding neighborhoOd.
One of the most promising of these localities is
ABERDEEN.
This town, for solid, substantial progress is not
surpassed i'll Hartford county, and it possesses ele
ments OF prosperity and growth surperiorto many
places in the South which have been doomed by
Northern capital and enterprise
Steady Growth of the Place
Originally Aberdeen was merely flag station
on the Philadelphia, Wilmington and Baltimore
railroad where the trains of the great PENNSYLVANIA
railroad system, plying between Washington and
Baltimore on one side and Philadelphia and New
York on the other, only occasionally slowed up to
take OIL DOdru a WHOSE nome was In the
wilderness beyond. The railroad company probably
never dreamed that this would be the best station
on their road between Baltimore and Wilmington.
The great rival of the p, w. and B.-the Balti-
more and Ohio-no doubt also thought at best it
would be only test telegraph office to ensure the
safe running of their trains.
But the citizens of Aberdeen were progressive
and full of the pluck, energy and brains which
create large cities out of mere railroad stations.
Without any Fictitious aid or outside booming they
have labored patiently and persistenty, and have
not only made the wilderness blossom as the rose,
but they have created the nucleus OF an enterpris-
ing and progressive town, with business oppOr-
tunities Of every kind. What is now needed at
Aberdeen is capital to develop its advantages and
accelerate its progress.
Its citizens are alive to the spirit of the times
and are disposed to welcome with outstretched
hands and ready help every man who will aid
in developing the town and neighborhoOd.

surround it for many miles on either side. In place

dotted the landscape thirty years ago there are

SEPTEMBER WEATHER.

WASHINGTON, Oct. 1.-The monthly
weather crop bulletin, issued by the
weather bureau today, is of special inter
est, owing to the unusal conditions exist
ing during September, which fot ! a
rapid maturing of the corn crop and
secured its safety from injury by frost
while at the opening of the month this
crop was from ten TO twenty days late and
in danger afrom frost The temperature
for September has been warmer and dryer
than any previous September Of which
there is record in the weather bureau
over the principal agricultural districts
east of the Rock mountains. The greatest
excess in temperature occurred over the
northern states, where the daily average
was from four to eight degrees higher than
usual In the upper Missouri valley the
average daily temperature was six TO eight
degrees higher than usual. During the
ten days ending Sept % throughout the
Mississippi, the Ohio valley and the lake
regi III the maximum temperature for a
decade, and the actual temperatures OBJ
served were from two to nine degrees
higher than any other of which the weather
bureau has q record for this season of the
year. The high temperature did not ex-
tend west of the Rocky mountains and on
the Pacific coast the normal temperature
prevailed.
Throughout the central valleys and on
the Atlantic coast, excepting Florida, the
deficiency in rainfall was marked, and in
most sections it was two inches less than
the usual amount. Over the greater por-
ton of Florida, in the the central Rocky
mountain region and on the north Pacific
coast, the rainfall was in excess.
