We understand Mr.. Willard
Ward, of North Beach, who sank sew
e al Artesian wells here last year, will
return soon to put down another for
Mr.. Henry Morris. These wells have
had much to do with the growth, which
everybody must admit, our town has
made during the past few years. No
more can the criticism be made that
our town is unhealthy. Malaria
is almost extinct and there has not been
a case of typhoid fever here for many
years. We believe these wells, which
provide at all times the purest of drink
ing water. can be largely credited with
this improvement. We cannot have toe
many of them here.
Upper Marlboro witnessed a real
"bargain sale" on Tuesday when
crowd which packed Ediavitcb's
Store clamored for the aluminium wale
which had been quite extensively ad-
ver.lsed for that day. ltseems to us
this sale should open the eyes OF our
local merchants. 1t proved, in the
first place, that if you have the goods
at the right price, it pays to advertise
them; then it furnished proof that oui
country ladies are just as fond of at
tending barg lain sales as their city sis
ters. and it was proof that there is
plenty opportunity for up-to-date,
practical business methods in our local
) torres to keep at home the money
which is being more and more spent in
the city stores.
