Want Him To Live Here.

Ex-Governor Lowndes and his family
are so popular in Annapolis that an effort
has been made by people here to induce
the Ex-Governor to buy one of the old
colonial mansions OF Annapolis and to
become a citizen of this town, but so far
his determination to remain in Cumber'
land is unshaken. He has also received
several business offers in Baltimore, and
it is not considered improbable by hi:
friends that he may accept one of them
in the future and GO to Baltimore to live.
