sold his farm containing about 100 acres,

Rising Sun vicinity, at 800 per acre.
Looks EIegant-The store of Gallaher &
Bro. They have this week had their room

Mr.. EditOr.-Can you inform me how
long the side walk in front of the Groome

s. s. Pic Nic.-The Episcopalian Sunday
School of this town, held pic mic on We'd
nesday last at White Hall, on the Elk Riv-
er, about two miles below Elkton. The
pic mic is reported by those who enjoyed it
as one of the most delightful of the season.
Concert and Readings.-The concert and
readings given at the Odd Fellows Hall on
Friday night, July end, under the supcrvi-
sion of Rev. T. L. Poulson, were received
with universal satisfaction, and spoken of
in commendable terms by all who had the
pleasure of attending. The Hall was not
filled so well rs we could have wished, but
a fair audience was present, composed
principally of the best class of our citizens.
The Burying Ground attached to the
Presbyterian Church of this town has been
much improved i'll appearance recently, by
having the grass and bushes cut and thor
oughly cleared out, the graves dressed up
and the fence renewed where it had become
broken and dilipidated. The grave yard
had been neglected for several years and
allowed to become overrun and unsightly
in appearance. The ornamental trees and
shrubbery since the trimming up, give the
place cheerful and cemetery like appear
ance.
1t is refreshing in these times of general
dizziness and complaint, to find even one in
dividual who reports prosperity and steady
advance in business. That fortunate indi-
vidual is Mr. Stephen B. Ford, successor to
Jas. L. Carhart, Zion, who writes, Sour
trade has continued steadily to increase be-
yond expectations; an increase of stock
and efforts to meet the wants of the COM
munity has had the desired effect" By
letting the people know these important
truthes through the columns of the Wig
contributed materially to that important
event. The prosperous man in business is
the advertiser.
A Run Off.-William Booth, a boy about
Is years of age and son of Joseph Booth,
residing near town, was thrown from a
dearborn on Wednesday last and severely
injured, his face coming i'll contact with the
pavement. The boy was driving load of
ice cream and marketing into town, and the
gearing of the horse not having been prop
erly buckled the vehicle ran on the ANIMAL
which ran and up set the dearborn, throw
ing the boy out on the side walk on North
street nearly at Mr.. Estes door. The boy
was taken up senseless and carried into Mr..
Estes where he was attended by DR.. Tuft.
He was found to be severely, but not dan
gerously hurt, and was conveyed to the res
idence of his father.
More Ice-A Large Sehooner.-Our ice
man, Mr.. Jacob A. Howard, received this
week cargo of 1870 tons of ice, from Saco,
Me-, so that this indispensable article can
now he supplied to our citizens in any guam
tity
The schooner that brought this cargo,
was the SD. F. Keeling of Baltimore,
Capt. J. B. Robinson. She is the largest
boat that has probably ever come up to Elk
Landing, at least, for many years, being
113 feet long, 90 wide, drawing II feet, when
loaded, and having two masts. Being SO
large in the eyes of many of our citizens,
she naturally attracted great deal Of at
tention, and many persons visited her,
to whom the gentlemanly and polite officers
took pleasure in showing their new and ele-
giant boat, and in answering the numerous
interrogations in reference thereto.
1t is but proper to say that the vessel was
only about half loaded when she arrived at
our port.
