good buyer knows and has seen
with what liberal hand we deal
away all such wares as we think
improper to carry in stock. More
than often they would sell as read
lily at full prices to even the warlest
of shoppers. But our system OF
fair dealing divides profit with the
public interest that supports this

AR, John E. Hurst, Democratic
nominee for Governor of Maryland,
has written a letter accepting the
nomination. The only objection,
made to him by Democrats, is that
he was the tool of German. The
following extract from his letter
seems sufficient to remove all obJee-
ton to him in that respect:
"When the nomination was made
it came as absolutely free from any
pledge, promise, or understanding,
express or implied. on my part us
ever nomination came TO any man.
Il did not seek it in any manner
whatsoever, nor can / consent to
have myself spoken of or consid-
cred as the candidate of any man
or set of men, or as the rep
resentative of any clique, wing.

and my Judgment shall dictate us

Copar hip.

The undersigned have this day
formed copartnership under the
firm name aud style OF Needles "
Wilson, at Franklin City, Accomack
county, Virginia. for the purpose OF
engaging in the Real Estate Agency
business in all its various branches,
at that place. We tlatter ourselves
that, our facilities for conducting
said business successfully are not sur
passed by any other in the same line
on the Peninsula, and we hope, there
fore. that by strict attention to bust
ness and careful regard for the in
terest of our patrons to merit and re-
ceive a liberal share Of the patronage
of those having real estate to dispose
of and also of those who desire to
purchase. Our terms will be moder-
ate and accommodating. In connec-
ton with our Office is Il Notary Pub
lie and General Conveyancer, who
has had many years of experience in
the different lines OF his business.
We propose to purchase, sci!
and exchange all real estate
that may be placed in our hands, to
the very best advantage for our pa
irons. We now have awaiting us,
to place upon the market d number
of tracts of land. farms, houses and
lots situate at Franklin City and in
other sections of this county, all OF
which will be sold cheap, and upon
such reasonable terms as cannot fail
to suit any purchaser.
Accomack and Northampton coun-
ties are proverbially known for hay
ing lands we'll adapted to the raising
of fruits, early vegetables, and trucks
of almost every kind. The location
of the said counties render the situa-
ton very desirable for residences;
there is excellent society, good schools,
churches of various denominations,
postoffices in every locality, railroad
and Geographic facilities within easy
reach of every person; the nearby
waters abound in fish, oysters, CLANS,
crabs ard terrapin, and the shores
and flats in. and adjacent the waters
are covered with whitewater fowl and
game in their season-in fact, no sec
ton of the United States offers great
er inducement to investors in real
estate, whether for profit or for
healthful home locations than do
these eastward counties of Virginia,
and the Eastern Shore counties OF
our adjoining sister State of Mary
land. Having the broad Atlantic
ocean and its tributaries on the east
side, and the great Chesapeake bay
and it's tributaries on the west, the
Eastern Shores of Virginia and Mary
land stands to-day unrivalled by any
other country, in its many advan-
tages to the citizens and those seek
ing investments.
For terms and for any information
in regard to the lands, &c, in this
section, address Needles 81 Wilson,
real estate agents, Franklin City, Ac-
comac county, Va.
Respectfully,

Senator Daniel has cause to feel
proud OF his popularity with Virgin
ians. In ali the counties where the
Democrats have made any declAra-
ton as to their choice for Senator
they have named him If Governor
O'Ferrall is a candidate he is not at
work, nor are his friends: lie could
not hope TO defeat Daniel in the coun-
TRY portions of the State at present.
The Governors only hope is in Dan.
lei making some mistake that will
cause him TO lose some Of his strength.
AS it is now, many Of the most pro
nounced anti-silver people are IN "a
vor of Daniel.
The extract above from the CORES
pondent of the Norfolk Virgiuian,
will be very gratifying to the people
of the Eastern Shore. Divided they
may be, on financial and other cues
lions, but there is enc thing about
which they are practically unani-
nous, that Daniel should be his own
successor, and will be, if the votes OF
Accomac and Northampton can re-
tain him in office Every voter on
the Eastern Shore with Democratic
proclivities with rare exceptions,
whatever their views on other CUES
tons, are willing to trust Senator
Daniel, and will prove it when the
time arrives for speaking out in the
matter.

That the Eastern Shore Agricul-
tural Fair, which commences on Au-
gust 9th, has the good opinion and
best wishes of the great body OF peo-
pie of the Eastern Shore, we believe
that it should have their cordial
and liberal support is earnestly
hoped for by US. Organized IN
the interest OF the people OF the
Eastern Shore, that object has been
kept steadily in view from the date
OF the first Fair to the present, and
is to day, as shown by address OF the
secretary of the Fair in late
issue of this paper in words like the
following: Its your Fair, dependent
on you for its success, soliciting
and expecting for the most part sup
port only by you and reserving. to a
great extent, its premiums only for
its own citizens. Being then pecu-
liarly g home institution, every
Eastern Shoreman should feel an
interest in it, and IL is pertinent,
therefore, to inquire of you, will you
contribute TO its success by having
on hand on the day of its opening
the exhibit which will help to make
II a success? And it is only necessary
10 urge you to Go your duty in that
respect-in all others the directors
have so we'll ordered that the Fair
cannot fail to be success. They have
looked out for your comfort by
beautifying the grounds, improving
The buildings and providing innocent
amusements for you that you need
have no fears for the success OF the
Fair along these lines-will you do
-FOUR duty by furnishing the exhibits,
remains only to be answered in the
affirmative? BY al means take some
thing to the Fair, and taking the
best you have, put it on exhibition in
the spirit of generosity, of not caring
to obtain q premium for it if some Of
your neighbors have something more
deserving of reward.
