PREMIUM DEPARTMENT THE AMERICAN TOBACCO CO., Jersey City, N. J. Letter from Morgan Oeshong. Chestertowt', Md., May 5, 1908. I)i;ah Editor : As we lile to read leitei s from friends in Ful ton county, who travel, perhaps some of the readers of the Nkws would like to hearsomethitlg from the Ktstern Shore of Maryland. Nathan E Truax aud 1 left home April I Sab, drove to Hancock and took the train there for Kaltimore stopping at Martinsbui g, VV. Yu.; Harpers terry, Washington Junc tion, and Washington. Wearrh -ed at Baltimore) at 2:80 p. m. Ve left the depot and went down lo SOU til bight Street Wharf, 1'ier Mi, and took a steamboat lor the Eastern Shore of Maryland, which landed IU si.fety at 1J tick Neck wharf, about 7 p. ra. We were met there by my brother Simon De.ihoug, with a team lo drive us lo his home, which was only a short distance from the wharf. After a short rest there, we started to explore the country of which we have heard so much, aud to our surprise, we found a liner section of country than we had expected. The soil v.u ics trouj sand t" a heavy clay but mostly a very uice loam, wliich is smooth, and apparently veiy cas ily worked, aud capable of grow ing liue crops of great variety. Some of the large farms would be good stock farms, but tho peo ple here don't keep many cattle from two to live cows are ti e most I have seen. Some farmers neep a number of sheep. Most f tho horses are small. Tin; peo pie breed for speed, although 1 have not seer, any fast horses. The people here are very clever ,tud sociable. Mr. Thompson took us out on the. Chester rtVM in his gasoline oat, and we eu joyed the trip i-erv much. Eish are pleuty, but shad, rock and eels are high iu ;)i ice. We have oecu at tbd fish jiy several times. We saw load liter load hauled away, over into '.ueen Anne county. There are some of the finest farms, man would wish to see. Chestertowu lias about 8500 population. We don't know how Ion? we tball stay. 1 like the country, al hough it was quite windy and .old for about two weeks after 1 ame, but has gotten ouite mild, ibe 80tb Of April, rained, and it las beeu windy and cold up to the 5th of Maj We like the breeze if the water. If any one would like to make a jhang.j, they ought to come and see the country, as it is a great shipping point both by rail and water, aud a good home market. The people cm sell anything, and can raise almost auything. The country is mostly level. Some parts are somewhat rolliug. The Chester river divides Kent and .ueon Anne counties.
