S. Smith, of the firm Of Parke, Smith & CO.,
Of Elk Iron Works, have been canvassing
this week. for new enterprise, which, if
taken hold of by our capitalists and men of
means, will enhance the business and popu-

They propose to establish Joint Stock
Iron Company with capital of 100000 or
$780, 0n0 erect steam works in Elkton in

which they propose to put into the Company.
If the capitalists real estate holders and
business men Of Elkton will subscribe S25,-
900 or $4,000 to the Company, the balance
| will be taken by city capitalists, which will
be a transfer of capital to our midst with all
the advantages to our town and county.

| featuring location with water and railroad
communication TO all parts of the country.
and facilities for receiving iron and coal sur.
passed by few sites, and with a prospect of
greatly increased facilities for receiving lum-
Der and coal in short time, by the pro-
posed Columbia and Port Deposit railroad,

| able to push that work through. With that
road intcrsecting the p. w. & B. Railroad,
and branching off to New Castle, Del, the
facilities for receiving coal, iron, &C., and
for shipping with choice of routes, would
be unsurpassed.
Persons who have an eye to business will
readily see the great advantages "A large iron

eyes of business men. and not fail to profit
by the golden opportunity now offered.
There will be meeting of the friends of
| this enterprise, in Elkton, on Thursday next.
