AN OPEN LETTER.
Snow Hill, Md, April, %, 1898.

Dear Fricnds.-We want to address you this
time on subject near to your heart, but nearer
to your pOcket-bOOk. The first consideration of
man of family should be the beautifying of his
home the next consideration is how to do it with
economy. There is nothing which will improve
most homes more than coat of paint inside and
out, that is if the paint is good, the proper cOlOrs
used, etc If you buy your paint from u.s. we will
gladly give you the benefit of the many years we
have been in the business and assist YOU i'm what
ever direction you desire. We carry an immense
stock of tested brands of paint, such Lucas
HarrisOns' the Sherwin- Williams, Johns Ashes
tOs and others which are known by all dealers
as St-claSS goods. Our stock of Paints Oils,
VarnisheS and Leads is unequalled by any house
in Worcester County, and in fact, few on the
Peninsula. Our prices the same as if you
bought of the factory and you the freight
and other expenses to be met.
The Poet sang There's
mo PLACE LIKE HOME"
and we agree with him to the letter, but we beg
leave to add There's
NOTHING LIKE PAINT
to make that home cheerful place, except it be
"a loving family. Remember that now is the best
time to paint and we are the people from whom
you can buy advantaSeOuSly.

THE SCHOOL QUESTION.

Last week we gave our en-
dorsement to the proposed
change IN the months OF open
ing and closing public schools
of the county. and we wish
again to say that we endorse
the idea. but we did not think
at the writing of our editorial
last week how it would effect
the teachers. if the schools
were TO be closed at the end
of next month 1t means that
many of them who can make
averages will loose months
pay which cannot be made up
to them. As a rule teachers
are poorly enough paid and
we do not want to see them
loose anything which justly
belongs TO them; therefore
we hope, inasmuch as we have
made out this long under the
existing system, no change
will be made until the fall
term. If this is done. justice
will be done to the teachers
as well as the patrons Of the
schools.
Since writing the above we
have seen School Examiner
Taylor and we are privileged
to say that he agrees with us
that it would be better to
make the change, if the Com
missioners decide to make
one. this Fall. Then the
tcachars will loose nothing by
If.

We are informed that a
large number Of persons are
finding fault with the County
Tax Collectors for their in
sisting upon the payment of
taxes Immediately. They rea-
son that the Collectors should
be willing to wait until the
berry crop is harvested. This
the Collectors say they cannot
do because the County is
making demands upon them
to meet its obligations and
that it will require a great
deal of money to meet the
expenses of the coming term
of Court, and the only way
they can get the money is
from you who owe your taxes.
This is reasonable and no one
should find fault with men
who have a sworn duty to
perform if they endeavor to
perform that duty.
OUR Queen Anne friends
are anticipating a lively time
in the politics of that county
this summer. Two editors
are already announced as can
didates for the Senate to sue
coed John b. Brown. They
are w. Scott Roberts editor
of the Centreville Rc6orH and
DIN Bryan one of the editors
of the Observer of the same |
town. Col. Roberts is recog-
nized near and far as one of
John b. Browns most trust
ed friends. who has been very |
instrumental in securing the |
political success which the |
Browns have enjoyed. but it
is reported that Mr.. Brown
will not support Col. Roberts
candidacy. Both of the edi-
tors are able and popular gen
tlemen. either of whom would |
honor their county.
Our thanks are due Mr.. A. /
B. Howard. Chief of the Blu
reau Of Industrial Statistics of
Maryland, for a copy OF his
first annual report. which is
not only a credit to Mr.. How
ard, but decidedly so to the
State of Maryland. /

a Missing Man Found Dead at
His Office Desk.

Col. Charles ]. Murphy, a
prominent claim agent of
Washington. disappeared on
the 4th of March last in a
manner that completely mysti-
fed such of his friends as
found time in their busy lives
to think of the matter at all.
Tuesday night the mystery
was solved by finding the
body of the missing man sit
ting in his office. He had
been dead since the day that
saw Cleveland inaugurated,
and hundreds had daley pass
ed the door of his office. in
which his body was enclosed.
pr several days past Col.
Murphy's friends have been
making inquiries as to his
whereabouts. and this evening
it was suggested that an off
Ger be called and requested
to break into the locked office.
Accordingly Officer Emmert
proceeded to the Office and
broke in the door. Inside a
horrible sight presented itself.
The body of the dead claim
agent was half sitting, half
lying against the desk, one
emaciated hand grasping a
law brief, the other hanging
at his side. The body was in
a remarkably good state of
preservation.
