Is evidenced the bewildering generosity
OF bountiful nature. The farther away
the tourist travels from the cities the
more the general courtesy and civility of

looks to find whence the greeting comes,
and discovers the picturesque natives

their washing in the streams, using the
rocks for washboards. The sight is unique
and the interested tourist stands by with
intent gaze. The sight is a common one,
as in all the streams there is some one

no particular wash day here, for on all
days the laundry work is being done.

Annapolis.
No business man in Annapolis i better
known or more honoted and respected
han Mr. Ssmuel Jones. the Republican
Candidate Tor Mayor Of Annapolis. He
Il a careful and methodical business man:
IS man OF lew words and thoroughly
practical and business-like.
Mr.. Jones was born in Prince George
county In October, I84S. and is therefore
htty eight years old. and is the son OF
the late Henry and Mary Jones. He re-
ceived his early education at the public
schools OF Prince George county, and
later took course at the West River
Classical Institute, from which he was
graduated. In ISo7 Mr.. Jones came to
Annapolis and was given a position as
clerk in the store OF George L. Franklin.
In 1883 he entered into partnership with
the frm OF the Franklin estate, which is
known as Jones & Franklin, and with
which he has been associated now for
thirty.one years. The firm is one of the
oldest and best known In the city, as
well as one OF the most reliable. Il owes
much to the integrity, honesty, enter
prise. tact and business principles of Mr..
Jones. the present senior partner.
Mr.. Jones married Miss lula A.
Thompson, and they have three chill.
dren, Miss Lucy. Messrs. Arthur Mont
gomery and Harry L. Jones, both OF
whom are associated with their father in
business. Some years ago Mr.. Jones
built himself handsome residence on
Duke of Gloucester street, where the
family resides. The Republican candidate
for Mayor cast his first vote for Gen. u.
). Grant, and has been a consistent
member Of the Republican party ever
since, always voting the straight ticket.
He has held but one political Office In
the gift OF his party, that OF city treas
urer OF Annapolis, which position he has
satisfactorily filed for the past two years.
Mr.. Jones has been twice before nomi-
mated for Mayor, and on one occasion
was defeated by the Democratic candi-
date, the late DIR. X. III. Green. Two
years ago he was nominated for the same
Office 10 opposition to Edwin A. Seide-
witE, which election went by default
on account of a technically of the
election law, in consequence OF which
the Democrats had the field and car
ried the day. In recognition Of his popu-
larity his party has again honored him
with this nomination.
1t has been rumored that Mr.. Jones, il
elected Mayor, would resign and the
Board would re-elect Mayor and again
make him city treasurer. This Mr.. Jones
denies in a card to voters in another
column and declares, if elected. he will
I'LL the Office until the term expires unless
prevented by some unforeseen circum-
stances. He will make a capable and
efficient Mayor and worthy head OF
the municipality. tadv.
