He shoald stop the sla lighter oil prisoners
of war, and the murder of the sick in

out tie hideous past which has forfeited
every vestige OF claim by his country to he

A Booming Summer Business.

1t is estimated that there are two
thousand summer boarders from the
cities, Baltimore principally, now in
Talbot county, some of them being in
the towns but most of them scattered
among the farm houses and regular
country boarding houses. The larger
number are in St. Mich@ls and Bay
Hundred districts, although Oxford
has a goodly number, and some go
regularly to Trappe and other parts
of that district. The height of the
season lasts from the middle of July to
the middle of September.
There are hundreds of places in Tai
bot county which make splendid sum-
mer resorts for city people. They are
becoming known now and are highly
appreciated These summer visitors
increase in number every year, and
must continue to do so with the ever
increasing transportation facilities.-
