CHARLES COUNTY.
CHARLES COUNTY, containing an area of 499 square miles, and occu- pying the southwestern part of the State, is bounded on the west and south by the Potomac River, which here makes a large curve in its course. Prince George's County binds it on the north, and St. Mary's on the southeast. The county is entirely devoted to agriculture, the principal crops being to- bacco, corn and wheat. Tobacco is the staple production, of which large crops are raised. Fruits, berries and vegetables are also produced to a limited extent, although the soil and climate are well suited to their growth. Fine fish and oysters abound plentifully on the shores of the numerous creeks; also game and wild fowl in season. The surface of the county is generally low and sandy, but sufficiently rolling to be well drained by the many streams flowing into the bordering rivers. The soil is easily improved and well adapted to the growth of all kinds of crops, with fruits, vegetables, hay and stock raising. Climate is mild and healthy, temperate in winter and pleasant in summer. The county offers unusual inducements to emigrants in its favorable climate, cheap landa, nearness to navigable waters, good soil, easy of access to markets, churches, schools, &c. The construction of the Pope's Creek Branch of the B. & P. R. R. affords quick and convenient communication for a large portion of the county with the markets of Balti- more and Washington ; and the waters of the Patuxent, Potomac and Wi- comico Rivers also furnish cheap means of transportation for the products of the county. Many farms border on these waters, and the planters use their own landings or wharves. The county has a splendid outlet on the Patux- ent at Benedict. The river front ia here from three to four miles, and is available st all seasons. The county needs emigration to till the soil and to start mills, factories and shops. There are splendid openings in several good localities for mills and mechanics. Many farmers are compelled to go long distances for these facilities. We unhesitatingly recommend all seeking good homes to visit this county before locating.
