LEoNARDTowN, Feb. Is, 1892.
Messrs Editors This has been good
winter for sickness. The grip, pneumonia
aud pleurisy have been very prevalent,
very little work has been done, no fencing
and very little tobacco has been stripped.
l have heard of few persons who have
made their tobacco beds, but they are near
ly all 10 be made yet. Wheat and grass
are very backward and looking badly.
Ii looks very much now as if all the work
would have to be done in the spring,
Cause, bad weather and sickness.
Whenever look out of the window and
see the snow falling quietly ard regularly,
as it did few days age for several hours,
always feel an instructive flow and gaic-
ty Of spirits. Long ago in my young days
a snow was the signal for a hundred diff
ferent delightful musements-amusemen
which are now nearly forgotten-perhaps
because they come so seldom. Forty years
ago such a snow rs that all the young peo-
pie would have been leaplng and bound
ing with anticipated delight, and could not
have been kept in doors until the snow had
ceased 10 fall. The little children of four
and five years old would clear place in
the yard and prop plank up To catch
snow-birds and sparrows, by pulling q
string which was run through the window
into the house, and then what nice bird
pies they would nave The country boys
and girls would wage joyous war OF snow
ball, or unite in party of sleighing, or run
races, by sliding on planks or sleds over
the frozen snow down the hill sides. Dread
full at such season was the carnage among
the tenants of the air, the field and the for
est-traps and snares in thousand forms
contributed TO their destruction, and the
huntsman followed on the track of the fiy-
ing game with a certainty which no speed,
nor cunning. nor strength could elude.
Messrs. Editors, il is not always that l
can indorse all that my old friend Doctor
II. p Blackstone says and does, but that
little piece of his published in the last BEA-
CON was something unique of its kind. II
was a brilliant little gem, short, sweet and
20 the point; and that little fly scene-it
took the cake. Oh. can: we make the dust
fly HoT Box.

The first Leap-Year ball Of go was Civ
en- at MooFe's Hotel Friday evening last,
18th instant. by committee Of young Ia
dies from Leonardtown and viciDity-Miss
Ruby Yates, Miss Linda Jones and the
Misses Greenvell.
Owing to the inclemency Of the weather,
not as many dancers were present as
We're expected, yet there was Just nice,
sociable crowd, and the evening proved 10
DC even more than successful. Dancing
began about the usual time and was con-
tinued until 800 A. NJ, which is in itself
sufficient to show how well appreciated
We're the efforts Of the clever young ladies
who were instrumental in afFording those
present so much pleasure.
The refreshments were certainly deli
cious, the orange-ice being especially wor-
Thy of mention. The gay costumes worn
by "those who engafFed the sets" blended
harmoniously and formed q bright and
pleasing spectacle.
Indeed, the entire affair was one which
equalled in every sense the finest Of our
summer balls, and your correspondent
never enjoyed an evening merchants
to the committeeman may they again
render bright and gay the present winter.
Among those present were Misses
Yates. Abel, NJ. and N. Greenwich, Jones,
Turner, Smith; Mrs. r. NJ. Dyer, of New

An Outside Opinion.

We have been HANGED letter from Mr.
ii. Calvert, Esqr., and requested 10 publish
an extract from one Of his correspondents
who had read the County papers, Of late,
and to whom Mr.. Calvert had been trying
to sell some St. Mary's county land. The
extract follows:
81 am afraid of ST. Mary county. With
10l licensed saloons, and only 5000 white
population-One saloon u less than so

Of sea and land and climate cannot over
come
God made that country for a better peo-
pie, but il looks H. me impossible To- do
anything until regeneration. The nltu-
raj advantages are there, but the moral
stamina and energy and economy and all
that make good people are not.

some remarks. We were forcibly impress

they not been rescued by Mr.. John Moore,

time that Mr.. NJ. has succeeded in rescuing
persons from drowning, and we take this
occasion TO commend him for noble deeds,
mourning loss of his days labor and the
risking of his life, when Others would not
act.

Messrs- Editors As your columns seem
to have . special attraction just now for
writer's upon the merits Of candidates for
Tobacco Inspector, permit me 70 develop
another phase Of The disease aud and ex.
press an old Democrats disapproyai Of the
plan Of campaign adopted by some Of our
people. Politicians have short memo
ries but surely they have not yet forgotten
that the St Mary's Democracy by pracii-
cally unanimous primary vote in Mr.. r. G.
Combs case and by handsome plurality
in Mr. George X. Gamers case nominated
the two gentlemen named TO speak for il
at Annapolis and. at the polls, won the
peoples ratification of the choice. The
two Delegates are the duly accredited rep
reseniaiives at Annapolis Of the Saint
Mary's Democracy-our ambassadors,
50 to speak, at the courtof His Excellency,
Gov. Brown. Attempts 70 ignore these
gentlemen or in any way discredit them Is
an insult TO the party that sent them and
comes with an exceedingly bad grace from
Democrats Men who lend themselves TO
such o scheme sign their own political
death warrant. for If the county loses the
place they viii be held responsible for it
by the friends of the men who are after
the minor warehouse appointments as
well as by the defeated candidates for
the Inspectorship. And thus q vendetta
is engendered which imperils party success
in future elections The dog in the man
ger policy; if We can't rule, we will do
our best to ruin, should be stamped out.
To sustain the Delegates just demands for
warehouse for our county, no matter
what Democrat wins it, is the duty Of true
party men. OLD DEMOCRAT.

EditoIs:-As our Legislature seems 10 be
passing the time leisurely, il is 10 be pre-
sumed that ere long the members will begin

at our table for years past, and still seem
careless 20 the fact Leo J. Lafhorum. of

collection was made to pay the arrear-
age in rent. The regular routine of
business was gone through with and E.
H. Donnelly, in few words, resigned
his position as president of the club on
account of not being in the city. His
resignation was accepted by the club
e. II. Lloyd was elected vice-presi.
dent of the club. after which d. l..
Hoge was introduced by MIR. Peters in
few words. Mr.. Hoge did not dwell
long on the tariff, but handled tho
force bill, which he thought the main
issue that confronted the American
people to day. Mr.. Hoge said: ~ would
rather see the wave of the ocean sweep
over our land and the orbs Of heaven
forget her existence than to see this
internal force bill go into effect"
He urged every man present to
go to work and impressed on their
minds that there were no Third party
men in this city, but in Southwest Vir.
ginia and in the agricultural counties
that party was strong faction and I'M
less the Democratic party went to work
that perhaps Old Virginia would for
get her allegiance, which would mako

J. e. NJ. Wright was then called upon
and made brief address A communi-
cation was read from Charles D. Denit,
editor OF tie Salem Times Register, in
which ne expressed his regrets at being
unable to accept tho kind invitation of
the club to deliver an address. Short

Rev. j. M. Luck preached the first
sermon last night in the series to be
delivered in tho First Baptist Church
this weok. The preacher chose for his
text the last command OF our Lord: "Go
ye into the world and preach the gospe /
to every creature" The discourse was a
trumpet blast on the duty Of churches
and individual Christians to carry and
send the gospel to the heather. It was
one OF the most earnest and powerful
sermons eyer preached in Roanoke.
The pastor deplored the absence of any
member Of the church and urged an in
creased attendance to night to hear DR..
j. S. Felix, of Lynchburg, on The De.
cline OF Foreign Missions and the Re.
vival of Modern Missions There will
be preaching in the Fire. Baptist Church
each night during :.ne week by distin-
guishtd Bacoist ministers. All who
read .nis notice are earnestly invited co
attend.
