We invite attention to the letter
OF w. Bernard Duke printed in this
issue. In our time no man has
spent as mucn money in st. Mary
lands and in building here as has
Mr.. Duke. He has demonstrated
his faith in the county by his works
aud anything he may have to say de-
serves the careful consideration of
our people. Men like Messrs. Duke
and Callahan pushing our railroad
assure its completion.
