Anome anon ihe rarm.

The new bridge at West Annapolis
and the regularly graded approaches
now rapidly pushing to completion
have brought TO public notice the Mel
vim Garden EARNS now fairy establ-
ished. Sales of some of these farms
have already been made and others
are contemplated. The location for
this enterprise is one of the finest in
the state. The land is high, well drain
ed, healthy, with fine water situations
and soil of the best for The purpose.
Several new houses will be built on
these farms within few weeks. Mr..
Melvin offers great bargains to those
wanting home upon the farm close

The Hot Wave.

1t seems to be generally agreed among
the weather wise that the most extensive
and most intense hot wave" of the sea-
son is developing over the interior of the
continent from Arizona. Texas and Louis
lana, northward to British America. This
great wave of high temperature will pro-
badly drift slowly east and cause severe
hot spell In the Atlantic States. Its
front crossed the Alleghanies Friday,
but it will probable be most oppressively
felt in this section from Saturday to
Tuesday. 1t is possible that some parts
of the wave may be broken before it
makes complete transit of the conti-
nent, but as il Is now midsummer, 1t Is
very likely that the greater part of the
country will be seriously affected by its
favors 1t will be well for everybody
during its passage to use due precaution
against sunstrokes, prostrations and dis
eases incident to great heat.

Mr.. Steiner Explains.

Mr. F. b. Steiner, in connection with
the new county wharf at Carr's farm, on
Rhode river. and the trouble about his
own wharf, says that he is not the steam
boat agent at Steiner's wharf; that he re
ceiyes no pay or any compensation for
the use of Steiner's wharf or warehouse
from the company or the neighbors,
though he is at the expense of keeping
wharf and warehouse in repair. He
says: 81 built the wharf and warehouse
about eighteen years ago, made arrange
ments with the steamboat company to
land there. and then invited the neigh
bors and everybody else to use them in
shipping and storing their produce and
merchandise, free of cost to them. which l
am glad to say they have done ever since
up to year or so ago. In coming TO my
wharf and farm they used the road
through the farm of N. G.. CollinsOn,
through which my farm has the right Of
way"

The season of Epidemics.

We are approaching the season when
epidemics and rumors of epidemics may
be expected. Lime and water are great
purifiers, and cannot be too freely en-
ployed as sanitary agents The purity
of water employed for domestic consump-
ton is a matter of the highest public i'm
portance; quito as important as full
supply of the indispensable element. II
is now well established that dysentery.
typhoid fever, cholera and other fatal
diseases. are caused by animal and vegets-
BILE substances dissolved in the water;
therefore all supplies of water for
drinking or culinary purposes, should be
carefully inspected. One point to be
borne In mind is. that we may get accus-
toned to drinking impure water and not
know 1t. unless other senses than taste
are consulted.

Have lou Read and Thought About
Thisl


Every week now scores progress in
the work at West Annapolis. Two
new buildings have been about COM
pleted, convenient and pretty cottages.
Train Master Upton besides finishing
his residence has designed tasty
little poultry house where he proposes
to raise some first class browning
stock. These may be depended upon
TO wake up the little city early in the
morning until they get their town
clock. Progress is the word and a
few pushing men such as are now To-
eating will make a lively stir over
there. AS rule, West Annapolis lots
have been sold TO desirable people.
This is an attractive feature as it en-
sures a good community. The houses
they build will be neat and tasteful
and the occupants will contribute to
the attractions of the place. You can
buy and build at West Annapolis with
the assurance that you will be exempt
from the annoyance of an undesirable
population. Every guard which the
careful management of Mr.. Melvin
can secure will be thrown around the
enterprise. Lot sales will be made to
good people and the class of buildings
to be erected will be such as to add
increased value to the property. In
quirv for these lots continues and
purchasers are likely to realize fine
profit for their investment.

ACbildless Home.

Smith and his wife have every luxury
that money can buy, but there is one
thing lacking TO their happiness. Both
are fond OF children. bnt no little voices
prattle, no little feet patter in their beau
tlful home. II would give ten years of
my life If could have one healthy, liy-
ing child of my own" Smith often says
TO himself. No woman can be the moth
er of healthy offspring unless she is her
self in good health. If she suffers from
female weakness, general debility. bear
ing-down pains, and functional derange-
ments, her physical condition is such
that she cannot hope to have healthy
children. DR.. Pierce's Favorite Pre-
