The grounding knew his business
The crop Of Democratic candidates il
growing. See announcements
The Orphans and Commissioners Courts
were in session Tuesday.
The public roads are said to be In worse
condition than they have been for years
The recent severe spell Of weather has,
to some extent, impeded work on the rail-
road.
Forty-seven lambs before Christmas was,
so we are told, the record Of Mr.. John T..
Ballenger's flock.
We have been informed that the friends
of Mrs. Love have secured her retention
as postmistress at Chaptico.
Because of the heavy rain the Concert
advertised for Monday night last was post
poned until further notice.
We are authorized to state that there
will be Q meeting of the Teachers Associ-
alton, Friday, February 10, at 1890 q. m.
A full attendance ID requested.
We invite the attention of our farmer
friends to the change in the advertisement
of the Maryland Commission Agency. It
was always good house and II Is now
better than ever.
The Washington Critic, of February 8,
reports that William Hanly. of St. Mary's,
and Susan ]. Fields, of Prince Georges !;
and William j. Garner, Of Prince Georges,
and Annie ID. Cecil, of St Mary's, obtained
Licences to Wed.
We are informed that all the "rights of
way" except one, on the line of railroad
between Mechanicsville and Brandywine
have been secured. A st. Mary's man still
hesitates, but we hope next week to be able
to announce that the way il open.
Tuesday, Mr.. Ballenger informed us that
the railroad people were driving ahead
and that an engine was at Brandywine
ready to haul trains. We hope that we
may now have some good working wealth.
er so that the road may soon be put in
running order.
Col. L. A. Wilmer, Comissioners' Clerk
Padgett and ex-Sheriff Smoot, of Charles
county, paid our town visit this week.
We are told they interviewed our County
Fathers in reference 10 balance due for
account Of the Biscoe case. We are glad
to see you, gentlemen, but we are sorry to
have to pay for the privilege.
But two counties of the State pay into
the State Treasury larger amounts for
Traders Liquor Licences than St Mary's.
This is not pleasant fact to think over
for it indicates the large amount which our
people squander for whiskey, &c. The
figures Of the Comptroller's Report preach
an eloquent sermon which we hope will
be hearkened to. Whiskey is, doubtlessly,
a good thing in its place, but what we
wish TO inculcate is that, this is an instance
in which we are suffering from too much
Of good thing.

Messrs. Editors II noticed in q recent
issue where you asked the the people
throughout the county to send you the
news from each section, so / thought few
words from old St. Inigo's would not be re-
miss-not that have much news TO chron.
icle, for news seems very scarce just now
but my chief motive is to tell you of an
enjoyable entertainment which had the
pleasure Of attending last Thursday even
ing, rendered by our much esteemed neigh.
Dor and friend, Mr.. Alexander Beal, and
his hospitable wife. Despite the bad tray
cling, quite nice size crowd was present.
The house was brilliantly illuminated and
the rooms were tastefully decorated with
evergreens, ferns and mistletoe. The guests
were received ~ the charming hostess,
who, in her quiet, graceful way, made ev-
cry one feel perfectly free and easy. Soon
the sweet strains of music filled the
spacious rooms, and all participated in the
may dance until the announcement Of
supper. And there, Messrs. Editors, all
the delicacies of the season were collected
and arranged daintily enough to suit the
most fastidious. All did ample justice to
the supper, particularly TO those fine st.
Jerome's creek oysters, which are famous
for their excellent flavor. A few hours
later we were again invited to partake of
refreshments. Would that I could des-
cribe the loneliness of that table which
fairly groaned under its weight of differ
emit foreign fruits and tempting confec-
tioneries. The merry dance continued,
and judging from their bright eyes and
smiling faces, I can confidently say az
thoroughly enjoyed themselves. Il was
with reluctance babe the genial host and
hostess goodbye and wended my way
homeward with many pleasant memories
Of an enjoyable evening. Now, Messrs.
Editors, not wishing to occupy too much
Of your time and space, l will close Hop
ing may have the pleasure Of addressing
you on similar occasion, remain yours
with respect. NJ. K.

In Two Melodramas at Kernan's, Intro
ducing His Equine Actors.
James II. Wallick, in "The Mountain King''
and "The Bandit King" the former play on
Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday evenings,
Thursday Matinee, and Christmas night and
the latter on Thursday aud Saturday evenings,
Christmas and Saturday Matinees will be
at Kernan's Lyceum Theatre this week Mr.
Wallick is well known as a romantic actor.
He is man of magnificent physique, pos
sesses an expressive face and good voice,
and displays good dramatic force He is
superb horseman, and has made quite a repu-
tation as the educator OF equine actors, intro
ducing in his plays three wonderful horses,
Bay Raider, Charger, and Texas. The intel
hgence of these noble animals is heavily
taxed in the several melodramas, but they
prove equal to all the requirements. AS
Bart Sampson Mr.. Wallick appears in a new
play which deals with moonshiners or illicit
distillers and takes on the name "The Noun
tain King" breathing the lawlessness of the
mountains of Virginia, with all the pictur-
esque scenery. He is a fearless detective,
whose duty is to capture an Illicit distillery,
which Is shown in full operation, and who
faces death itself until he succeeds In tThe
Bandit King" Mr.. Wallick sustains his orig
inal creation of an ideal border hero, who,
Notwithstanding his surroundings, possesses
Keen sense OF honor, is chivalric, and is
ready to defend virtue and defenseless woman
with his life. This play, like the other, CON
tains many thrilling situations and realistic
scenes. Joe HoCard, the Bandit King, resorts
TO the lasso to save a waif from drowning,
nghts terrible duel on horseback, and treats
the audience to many daring exploits. 1t is
pronounced Mr.. Wallick's happiest character.
he is supported by talented and versatile
artists, whose specialties enliven the plays.
Matinees Tuesday, Thursday, and Saturday.

Good Wines and How to Keep Them.
Millions of money have been lost to Cali
fornia by the ill-advised methods of handling
her abundant agricultural products.
Perfection or even proficiency In any art or
industry has to be acquired. Experience is
the only reliable teacher.
The early grape-grower has learned th at all
grape juices do not make palatable wine; that
after the proper varieties have been discovered,
still art and care are necessary to the best re-
suits.
Then the proper storage-cellars with even
temperature were required.
Absolute cleanliness must be preserved,
that no communicating odors could affect the
sensitive affnities of the young wine.
And when all had been done, when mature
wine of fine body and flavor had been Sc
cured, the greatest difficulty of all presented
itself, viz: How to get the wine to the con-
sumner In its integrity? The merchant was its
enemy In double sense, ignorance in hand
ling, supplemented by dishonest greed
The best, he sold as French wine; the ordi-
nary and undesirable, he doctored up to sala-
bility.
The man of success in molasses, sugar,
vinegar, flour and canned goods, had to learn
new business in order to do justice to wine
The hopeful American would drink de-
lclous wine In California, order q barrel sent
to his Eastern home, to find after long wait
ing that transportation, ignorant, careless
bottling, had given him, not the delicate
aroma he expected but an incipient vinegar
The vineyardist learned at great cost that he
must either bottle his wines In his own Gel
lars, or establish reliable storage-cellar on
this coast, where wines could be rested and
fully matured before bottling. This method,
the proprietor OF the To-Kalon Vineyard has
succeeded In bringing to greater perfection
than any OF his competitors.
We have long had our claim before the pub
lie as dealers in absolutely pure high-grade
wine. We are happy to say we have many
patrons and friends, our ambition is to keep
them and to grow in the confidence of the
general public.

A NOVELTY AT HARRIS.

Educated Horses and Dogs, and Clever
Specialties in Varied Programme.
The attraction for this week at Harris Biiou
Theatre will be a thoroughly novel one. In
some features it will be brilliantly unique.
Dewey & Smiley's International Comiques
will present program which has been se-
lected with the utmost care, and in which only
artists of the highest grade participate. There
are few amusement patrons or admirers of
horsemanship who do not know Robert Stick
ney. Tomorrow night, when the Interna-
tional Comiques open their weeks engage
ment, he will appear, introducing his cele-
heated trick horse, "spot" This animal is
not only wonderfully beautiful representa-
tive of its species, but it has degree of intel
ligenee that is marvellous. Under the skill
and patient instruction of Mr. Stckney the
animal has developed a degree Of sagacity
that seems TO put a stop TO all doubt as to
whether the lower animals may be possessed
of reasoning faculties Mr.. Stickney also pre-
sents his handsome riding dogs, "Bob" and
"PIiDce." These animals are not only eX-
tremely clever CANNES, but wonderfully ac-
