southern Maryland.

The HagerstOwn Daily Nail has
q we'll written editorial on the sub
iect Of Southern Maryland as a de
sirable locality for Rew settlers.
Southern Maryland is comprised in
five counties Prince George, An
ne Arundel, Charles, st. Mary
and Calvert. The Mail speaks of
the cheapness of land, the salt
water advantages aud the healthful-
ness Of the climate. "The soil" it
says truly, els unsurpassed for the
production of vegetables and the
country is the native home of the
peach. 1t then tells of the decline
of the peach ia ether sections of
the country, aud argues that these
five southern counties will be look
ed TO for the peach supply before
many years.
Prince George, Charles and the
upper portions Of Anne Arundel
counties are now we'll supplied with
railroads and freights are quite low
When the Drum Point is built, al
it Is now likely to be, all these
five counties will be placed in close
connection with Baltimore and
Washington cities, and the South
ern Maryland trucker and fruit
grower will find convenient markets
aud cheap freights for all their pro-
ducs.
The Maa concludes that there is
ne justification for Western Mary
land farmers to desert their native
State when Southern Maryland of
fers 'cheaper lands than those of
the prairies, well improved and sur
rounded by all the the appliances
and conditions Of civilization.
