The new settlers think they can make
a good living in a climate like that OF
Georgia. Georgia has improved won.
dertully since the civil war.
Colonies OF this sort can be founded
in MARYLAND to even better advantage
than in Georgia. In the southern part
Of the state land can be had on reason
able terms. Much of it is on or near
navigable water, and it is hundreds OF
miles nearer than Georgia to the mark

is needed is people who know how tc
farm and are willing TO work II these
lands were properly advertised Western
people would buy.-Americaa
The Eastern Shore OF Maryland
offers inducements to settlers that can
not be surpassed by any other section
of our country. While cheaper land
can be purchased in other localities
vet such land is often dear at any
price. On this Peninsula we have d
variety Of soil suitable for all crops,
whether cereal or otherwise, an eqiutble
climate, said by DR.. Chancellor, late
president of the State Board Of Health,
To be one OF the healthiest on the sea
board, easy access to market by both
rail and water. cheap transportation
when compared with the South and
West and Us good local markets as are
generally found In addition to the
advantages offered above there are
churches OF many denominations scat
tered all through the counties and a
school system equal to that of any
other state So that when the colonist,
for himself or friends, takes all things
in consideration. he will find more to
attract him To this section than TO any
other. 1t is to be hoped that our peo-
pie will take little trouble to induce
desirable settlers to come among us as
much for our own benefit, we believe,

DROWNED IN A WELL
Joseph Richardson, While De-
mcnted Takes His Life.

Mr.. Joseph Richardson, middle.
aged, prosperous farmer of near Mill
vile, in Colbourns District, jumped
head foremost down the well nj his
home. on Wednesday morning about
eight o'clock and was drowned.
Since last February Mr.. Richardson
had not been well and for several
weeks his neighbors and members of
his family had noticed his mind was
affected, and he was closely watched.
On Monday while at his brother
Thomas il was thought he was going
to jump down the well there and
Dewitt c. Fooks, Esq, lead him away
and disconnected his mind.
On Wednesday morning Mr.. Rich
arison shouldered his bush axe and
walked ont in the field to ditch bank
where he commenced the work of cut
ting down the tall bushes which cover
e.. it, His daughter followed him and
remained nearby that she might pre-
vent him doing himself any harm.
Her presence seemed to irritate him
and he told her he knew she was
watching him and he was tired OF il,
with that he stopped work and went
to the house, his daughter still keeping
near When he arrived at the house he
made dash Tor the well, she devised
his intention and tried To catch him
before he accomplished the rash act,
but she stumbled over the root of a
tree and before she could reach the
we'll her father had jumped down it
head foremost. She called loudly for
assistance, but no one responded. and
although nearly crazed with excite
ment aud fear. she had enough pres
ence of mind To seize hold of rake
lying nearby, and thrusting it down
the well caught it in the clothing of
her drowning father and pulled him
up clear of the water and while she
still cried aloud for assistance held
him up for many minutes. Finally
her strength failed her and she had
to let go.
Mr.. Richardson was widower and
leaves two children. both daughters,
one of whom, Miss Emma Richardson,
resides in Snow Hill, the other lived
ON the farm with her father. His re-
mains were inferred in the NJ f.

VICTOR, Colo, July s, 1895.
Editors Messenger. GENTLEMEN =
Thinking that probably short letter
from the greatest gold camp in the
world might be of interest to some OF
your readers, take pleasure in send
ing you the following communication
This town Victor is situated in the
Cripple Creek District, Elpaso County,
Colo, and is about five hours run
from Denver. 1t is about two miles
above sea level, and has some OF the
finest mountain scenery around it to
be found in the State. The famous
Pixies Peak" looms up on the north,
while on the south and west the great
Sangu de Christie rance can be seen
for miles. The town was started here
about eighteen months ago, and has
now about thirty-five hundred inhab.
itants. Two of the mines the indie
pendence and Portland, are the richest
in the world. The former alone has
an output of fifty thousand dollars n
week. A miner here gets from $500
TO $3.50 day, and he can live well
on $3.50. If he has, or owns his cabin
of course his expenses are much less.
Victor celebrated the Fourth in reg
ular old fashioned style. parades, fire
works. etc, etc. The town raised
100000 for the purpose. They gave
away over $4,000 90 in prizes. The
prizes for the drilling contests were
First prize, s500.00; second. $3.50. 90.
The mining team drilled hole in
solid rock about "a inches. This Of
course was very interesting to "ten-
dertoot." Strange To say, although
there are thirty-three saloons in the
town. there wasn't single fight, or
disturbance the whole day We have
a good police force, and besides, killing
a man isn't as popular out west here
rs il was in the days of Bret Harte"
and Mark Twain" Since the great
strike here last spring the camp has
settled down TO law and order
The famous Cow Boy Band has its
headquarters here, and gives us free
concert once week They dress in
regular Cow Boy style, and to an
eastern man are very interesting.
They expect to visit Europe this sum-
mer-hailing from Victor. This of
course will be big advertisement for
The town.
The man who owns real estate here
is IN it," The building. in which 7
have my office, is about the size of the
MESSENGER building, and is only two
stories high. II cost about s5000.00
and rents for S4500.00 year. NV
office is Is by Is feet and costs me
thirty dollars month There isn't a
house in town that wont pay for itself
in rents in two years. We have snow
here every month in the year. and
every night have to light our fires.
Man here has To wear the same kind
of clothes all the year round
New mines are being opened up
every day. and in another year we
ought to have from eight To ten
thousand inhabitants. Every man,
woman and child in Colorado is in
favor Of the free coinage Of silver,
irrespective of politics, and if we get
it, Colorado. will be the greatest State
in the Union. Still for all that, tor a
good, quiet, happy time, with good
bank account back OF me, I'll take old
Maryland, aud especially old !Snow
