place till Monday last, and was then award.
ed to Mr.. Eli Seminar.
New Odd Fello,os' Hau.-It is pretty GER
tain that the Odd Fellows will commence
the erection of their new hall early in Sep
TENDER. Though not quite so majestic and
imposing an edifce as the hall in Elkton, it
will, nevertheless, be very credtable build,
ing, and quite an ornament to Rum Square,
where it is to be located.
NeW Water Wheel.-Mr. David NJ. Rey.
nods has just finished some improvements
in his mill. He has taken out the old over.
shot waterwheel of some so feet diameter,
and in lieu of it, has put in II inch i'm.
proved Turbine wheel, which he fully ex-
poets will enable him to better supply his
largely increased number of customers with
the staff of life. Mr.. Reynolds is an ener-
getic, hard working man, and will no doubt
be we'll remunerated for his present outlay.
PIC Nic.-The colored citizens of this
town and vicinity were busy on Wednesday
making preparations for their grand pic mic
and reunion, that came off on Thursday, in
Mr. Ramsay's woods. Judge Bond and

Road Mending.-The Supervisor of this

Mr.. Eli S. Seminar, is getting to the wind

cured several large contracts in that town,
among them the building of Armstrong &

COpperhead ROdOma nj q de.

The Democrat of last week hashes up the
old story of Sergeant Bates and his flag, and
in the conrse ola lengthy eulogy on the
"brave," "noble, !" "high tone,' "gener
ous," etc., people Of the South, gets off the
following piece of highfalutin, which is so
entirely Democratish that we copy it for the
amusement of the readers of the Wing:
"The Southern people welcomed the flag
not because it was the emblem of their
subjugaton. Honorable men do not kiss
the rod that smites them. They deferred to
lt-not because Difference was their only
salvation. Brave men do not cravenly ac-
cept a necessity. They embraced it-not
because it was the symbol of strength
High toned men do not fawn at the feet of
power. They guarded it-not because it
was the insignia Of victory. Prestige does
not command respect from the honest
heart. No-their welcome sprung from a
deeper feeling. Their caress had no Judas
sting in it nor fear of betrayal. They de.
ferred TO it as the symbol of restored ma.
tionalty, welcomed it as the olive branch,
caressed it for the magnanmity it EMBODIED,
and embraced it as the token of confidence
which man feels in man, and the good will
which the acceptance of trust unbetrayed
must ever inspire in generous bosoms."
The reader will remember that while the
rebel Copperheads were meeting Bates by
an understanding among themselves at every
town on his way from Vicksburg to Wash
ington, with "ovations," that the same
class of flag worshippers were in other parts
of the South numbering and driving out
Union men and freedmen because of their
adherence to that flag, which had been
established in triumph over that " magnan.
imous," high toned" etc., ETC.. people
by Grant, at the point of the bayonet.
This Bates flag farce is too well under
stood by the plain honest people as a trick
to cheat the world into the belief that the
rebels accepted the situation cheerfully, to
deceive any one at this day who has a grain
of commonsense, and this parade of fudge
and fustian by the Democrat, comes a day
after the feast. This is the first time we ever
heard of Judas having a sting.

BAY VIEW ITEMS,

Change Of Land Lords.-Mr. Fran
Ainscow has sold out his lease of the Bay
View Hotel to Mr. Granville S. Jefferies,
who, we understand, will take possession at
an early day. Mr.. Jelferies was the former
proprietor. Mr.. Ainscow retires with all
the honors encircing his brow, which gen.
orally foltops so worthy a calling.
R"naray.-Dr p. b. Housekeeper, on
returning from professional visit, few
days since, left his horse moment to close
the gate. The animal taking advantage of
the Doctors absence left in double.quick
time, passing through the next gate and in-
to an orchard, capsizing the buggy, break
ing one shaft, and doing some other slight
injury. The matter would have probably
been much worse, had it not been for the
apple trees and the Dr's agility.
Music.-Thc Rising Sun Band passed
through this place, on Saturday last, enroute
for North East, for the purpose, we believe,
of serenading Mr.. b. f. Thomas, who treat
ed them handsomely. They discoursed
some excellent music; and their new wag,
on is certainly splendid affair.

the woods near Reeds School House, bet.
ter known as Tietan, commencing on Satur-
day, 22nd inst, to continue over Sabbath
There will be several sermons delivered on

Newspaper Enterprises The Cecil Wing,
with its ten additional columns of reading
matter, and neat typographical appearance,
last week was quite topic of conversation
among the reading classes. Several cam.
paign subscribers have already determined to
have their papers continued.
P1litical.-Politics is not very brisk at
present; but little said on the subject, un.
less occasionally an old Copperhead or so,
who has been imbibing a little freely of
Blair whisky, belches forth some of Wade
Hamptons rebel doctrines, or ,tew big
ones from the La Crosse Democrat But from
the droppings round the neighborhood it is
evident that Grant and Colfax are on the
gaining side.
Celebration.-S Sabbath School Cele.
bration, which was noticed in last weeks
Wing. came off on Thursday, 18th inst
The day was very favorable, and the atten-
enhance was quite large. Reverends Poul.
