estate of the late John Steele, have
been painted brilliant red under the
direction of c. P. Wyatt, admins
traitor of the estate. This adds much
to the appearance of this part of the

Leonardtown is signally fortunate this year in
being selected for the annual meeting Of the d.
rectors and stockholders Of the Eastern Shore
Trust Company, Of which the Leonardtown
Bank is the local branch The Both Of May
has been designated as the date for this ausp-
cious gathering Of capitalists and business men.
The officials Of the Leonardtown Bank are
perfechng arrangements for the entertainment Of
the visitors, several hundred in number, and will
endeayor to interest them in the natural and I'm
developed resources Of St. Marys.
Many Of the men who will be here at that
time have been eminent successful in business
and manufacturing enterprises on the Eastern
Shore, and are seeking new fields for the invest
ment Of their capital and brains. ST. Mary's
County offers the very opportunities they are
looking for, and much good could accrue from
this convention if our citizens will extend to
them the proper welcome, and in some civic
demonstration, show them that we are glad to
have them with us.
The matter Of be6ttngly extending the glad
hand when the occasion arrives has been
preached TO se~Aa Of ths.tssal s..siness and pro-
fessionaI men, and from the manner of its recep-
ton we feel sure that in our next issue we can
announce date on which there will be meet
ing Of the citizens of Leonardtown to perfect
arrangements to clean up the town, decorate
the dwellings and business houses and furnish
real oId-fashioned Southern Maryland welcome
to our guests
Saint Mary's beacon. [volume] (Leonard Town, Md.) 1867-1983, 1917-05-03

This is the time for the annual dressing up
and cleaning up. Nature is doing her part and
is adjoining herself in the gladstone raiment Of
Spring 1t remains for our citizens to follow
her example and put forth everv effort to add
to the athactiveness of their homes and the
towns In which they live
Clean up and paint u" should be the slogan
in every household until all rubbish is destroyed
and every vestage of shabbiness and neglect re-
moved. Accommodations of trash are not only
unsghtly, but invite flies and other insects and
create an unsanitary condition that seriously al
fleets the health Of the whole community. 1t is
not only incumbent upon each individual to as
sst In beautifyng his or her own home surround
mgs but to JOIN IN a general movement to rem
der the streets more presentable.
Those who remember what a marvellous
amount Of genuine good was accomplished by
the last volunteer day on the streets Of leonard
town will see the advantage Of getting together
again this Spring for the same purpose. We
are visited by tourists from every section of the
United States, and this year their numbers will
be greatly augmented Washington, the pivot
from which will be operated the great machinery
Of war, will be the mecca Of travellers from
every state in the Union. Our fine State road,
afording an opportunity to enjoy the natural
beauties Of Southern Maryland, will bring many
Of them to Leonardtown, and we want them to
carry away with them the very best impression
OF the old town. Nature has certainly been
liberal and bountiful to us and only awaits our
assistance to make Leonardtown pride and Joy
to our own eyes and to all who visit US.
