Mr.. II. D. Perky and his purchases, and the
repoyating of the same, form an absorbing
topic of conversation just now in this COM
munity. He has large force OF men at Wofk <
on the old Merryman house, just south OF
Monkton, laying pipes to put water ID the
house. He has taken an option on the prem
Uses until April 30th, after which he will either
enter into full possession or forfeit the money
he has paid and the improvements he nas mao
made. Mr.. Perky has purchased the farm OF
Mr.. Thomas q. Miller, on which his son, M;
s. Elmer Miller, resides Report says he palo
Sl75 an acre for it. If the figure is correctly
quoted large farm at that price is valuable
asset and some of our large land owners may
begin to think themselves farmer princes.
Why not? All other branches OF business
have their millionaires now, why not have
few among the farming class? Such prices for
land have hitherto been unheard OF in THIS
vicinity and while, to the genuine old resi-
dents, Ny Lady's Manor was thought TO De
the garden spot of the world, many OF them
lived on the traditions of their families ana
had no yearrings for the grind and hurry OF
business life, or the up-to date methods in
farming.
No section of country in Maryland is richer
in old colonial families than the Manor, and
the records on the old tombs in st. James Gem.
etery, would delight genealogist. And yet our
people who are ITO the manor born" make no
preiences and are just simple, kindly Mary
landers who meet you with hearty cordially
that's most natural to them
Farmers in this section are rather late With
their spring work owing to so much inclement
weather. As soon as the ground dried suffi-
GENTLY the familiar vocabulary of the plow-
man, driving his team early and late, will be
heard all around the:countryside.
Many families in this section, on account OF
Mr.. Perky's transactions in real estate. will
have to seek new homes, and while the COM
munity extends cordial greeting to all new
corners, we are sorry to lose old friends. ID.
