ELKS To BARBECUE

Through the courtesy of o. r.
league, division superintendent of the
Seaboard Air Line railway, and Com
mercial Agent Henry P. Everette, the
Seaboard Air Line railway will convey
the delegates to the Elks' convention
out to the big barbecue on April 9th
in a special train, which will leave the
depot of the Seaboard at l p. NJ, going
direct to the barbecue grounds, and
after the dinner bringing them back
to the depot.
The executive committee in charge
of the Elks' convention are under many
obligations to this railroad . for this
courtesy, as it would have been hard to
get out to the barbecue, on account OF
the large crowd that would be here at
that time.
The arrangements for the big barbe-
cue are progressing along finely, and
Americas will surely see one of the
biggest feeds ever pulled off in south
Georgia when it takes place

To Advertise A Maryland County

Some of the enterprising residents
of Queen Anne's county, Maryland
are planning to have carried on a
tour throughout the Western states
an exhibit of the agricultural and
horticultural products of that favor
ed section of the Eastern Shore. A
committee has been appointed with
headquarters at Centreville, and it is
thought that the necessary funds for
the enterprise can be secured. The
idea, as the Centreville Observer
says, is to advertise the true worth
of Queen Anne County Land" 1t is
a remarkably good idea. The until
mate purpose is to attract settlers to
the Maryland land.
The Observer says that zone of the
scounty's chief needs is more people.
A larger population would mean
more intensified and diversified farm
ing. New settlers, with new ideas,
would bring about more progress
sive era of farming and every busi-
ness and professional man in the
county would feel the effects of such
improvement" The proposed trip
through the West is made possible by
the cooperation of the Maryland
Conservation Commission.
What the Observer says about
Queen Anne's county is applicable to
every other part OF the Eastern
Shore.
