Farmers are progressing fairly
well with their work.
Oystermen realize 35. 40 and 80
cents q bushel. Several buy boats
are seen and Messrs. Bailey & Smith
buy many bushels. They have a
number OF men employed shucking.
The oysters are shipped to canning
houses in Baltimore.
Merchants seemingly do thriv-
ing business. The ladies do the
principal shopping. This right
stands preeminent. The privilege
of footing the bills is presumably
the dearest right of man.
Despite much rain and heavy
hauling the roads keep in tolerably
good condition. Few mud holes and
drivers of vehicles have no occasion
to use the fate-defying grin as the
holes are shallow and no break
downs are feared.
