Now that the roads have become good and

for his neighbors and sells them very reason
ably.
The Court House yard has been thoroughly
cleaned up by the janitor, Mr.. Peter E. Car

waste paper near the Court House fence for
burning. Many scraps are picked up by the
wind and lodged over the yard, giving it an
untidy appearance.
AT this time of the year one of the objects
in nearly every mans mind is a new spring
suit and how and where to get it. Most men
like to be well dressed and all men want to
know where they can get the cheapest goods,

Messrs N. G. Canister & Son, 20S North Gay
street, Baltimore can not be outdone for cheap
ness and that their work is just as good as
that of higher priced tailors.
