We wish TO remind the geBer-
Gus public Of the county that The
First National Bank has in hand the
neucluous for fund to erect fence
around and TO beautify the grounds
Of the ST. Mays Hospital. This
is a good cause and one in which
every citizen Of the county should
feel obligation TO assist.
The contract for the erection Of
the Southern Hotel, in Baltimore,
has been let to the Longacre Com
struction Co., of Delaware. The
site of the building will be in the

man streets, where, until the fire of
1904, the old Carrollton Hotel was
located. The building will be IA
stories high. Work will be started
in few days, and the new hotel
will be ready for occupancy in about
IL months.
We regret exceedingly to learn
from an unconfrmed source that
our venerable townsman, Capt. Asa
A. Lawrence, died at his residence
in Geneva, Ohio, recently. The
Captain was well and favorably
known to almost every one in the
county and his courtesy and gener-
osity won him many friends. He
came here shortly after the close Of
the Civil War, and, until Just prior
to his death, made this his home.
He was an upright and honorable
man. Peace to his ashesl
Preparations are rapidly being
perfected to make a great showing
at the County Fair. The enthuiasm
and interest in making the Fair this
year record breaker is being stimu-
lated because of the fear that it
would be abandoned. IL is due to
draw a phenoninally large crowd
and the exhibits are said by those,
who have advanced information, TO
do credit to any fair. Not to be
among those present, argues la
mentable lack of interest in matters
progressive.

ington are due to enjoy an outing
