where new buildings equipped in
moderan fashion house them in
comfort.
WISELY PLANNED for both sexes,
but reciting in separate classes;
making EDUCATION its great bust

cost so as to reach the largest num-

will not study.
THOROUGH, offering three separate

equipped Scientific Building; good

endeavoring to see that others vote Tor
the candidate whose own abilities and
merits have placed him at the front OF
his party and whose policies are the

Heights Of Georgetown, which city was
at that time the seat Of much wealth,
culture and refinement, large assem-
blage of representative people, also
from Baltimore and Prince Georges

occasion.
DR.. and Mrs. Mackall enjoyed long

Nh. 6OITOH:
Having Just returned from trip to
the West, particularly as delegate to
the Denver Convention nominating
Bryan, take this opportunity of re
porting briefly to as many of those who
sent me % are readers of the Democratic
Or Independent papers OF Prince
GEORGES County.

YER - one of the representatives OF the
Bryan sentiment in the State and | am
happy to congratulate those who sent
me upon the wisdom of their views as
to the Presidential candidate and OF the
vindication they received at the Convex
ton. The trip through the western
STATES, oven before reaching Colorado,
made it perfectly manifest that no can
didate other than Bryan would receive
the favorable consideration Of the enor-
nous mass of the Democratic voters of
the country. On every hand the dele
gates were assured of his great strength
with the common people and SO pro-
nounced was this that very many dele
gates who at first would have preferred
another man realized before vote was
taken that the best possible results were
to be secured by the nomination of
Bryan. Even many leaders at heart op-
posed to him felt that their title to lead
srship would be gone if they did not
support him. and the result of this feel
ing was his almost unanimous nomina-
ton on the first ballot.
Now that he has been nominated, the
question arises ~ to the probabilities Of
his election. He would be rash man
who three months in advance Of cleo
ton day. should say that either of the
two leading candidates has an assured
election. take pleasure. however, in
saying to you that frsm every part Of
Of the West heard Of Republicans and
numbers of them who intended to vote
Tor Bryan. If I nay sum up this feel
ing, - think fairly can, as exhibited
W OCICkotOe 0Au AOu.OCiCSdtCo, WOulu
say that the states of Nebraska, Kansas,
North and South Dakota, Montana and
probably Colorado are to be regarded as
Democratic today, while the states of
Ohio, Indiana and Illinois are to be
placed upon the doubtful list. l do not
mention the states of Kentucky and
Missouri which are Democratic beyond
psradventure. II the people with
whom spoke were at all good judges,
- matters stand today Bryan will be
| elected, even II he were not to receive
the votes of any eastern state save that
Of Maryland, q state which in all pro.
pristy and justice belongs to him.
The judgment Of the best newspapers
observers attending the Denver Con
vsntion was that Bryan was the strong
est candidate who could by any posi-
bility be nominated by the Democratic
party, and that the Democrats had this
year the very best opportunity of win.
| ming that had come to them in sixteen
years.
In view Of the foregoing, which l
believe to be conservative statement
OF the present situation, may we not

Life In The Country.

There is no sort of doubt that among
the average dwellers in the cities there
is an increasing desire for greater par

Chance to Own Their Own Homes

After careful ANALYSIS of all of
the arguments set forth by John +.
McDermott d Company in their adj
vcrtisemcnts offering Bonnc Tcrrc
Heights for sale, we have come to
the conclusion that the investment
offered by them in their lots, offers
the best chance the people down
here have ever had to make n sure
and safe investment with the
chances all in their favor to reap
large profits in the near future on
any lots bought by them. Every
indication points to the sale being an
immense success, and you know
that there is nothing that succeeds
like success. They have certainly
spared no pains or money in bring
ing Bonnie Terre Heights before the
public, and as the lots have merit
they are bound to sell and 90 up i'm
value. The terms on which the lots
are offered for sale are extremely
liberal and easy: $1,000 down on
each lot and $l.OO per week, or if you
prefur 800 per month. The price
is only 10000 per lot, and you get
warranty deed, not lease, which
is certainly very welcome innova-
ton in st. Francois county, where
practically all OF the town lots are
owned by the mining companies,
which only lease the lots to the peo-
pie living on them. A very marked
change for the better will soon take
place at Bonnie Terre after the peo-
pie are given n chance to own the
land upon which they build their
homes. II makes for better citizen
ship 10 have man own his home,
and we welcome the enterprise of
the people who are giving our people
"A chance to become the owners of
their homes.
