The Cecil Whig. [volume] (Elkton, Md.) 1841-current, 1869-05-29
Un.NOticed Locals.
REPORTED FOR THE CECIL WING.

Looks Deserted.-The Odd Fellows Hall
has gloomy look. Cause-high rents
A striking example of the effect of aiming
too high; as had the rents for the rooms in
the building been placed at a lower price
until their position became valuable by age,
they could then have been put up to point
which would have produced the revenue
required.
Hoo to Haze Hard Iinses.-Let the young
men in the country, as fast as they arrive
at a proper age to do business, 60 into
the little towns and engage in some nom
producing employment; and let the town
boys all become clerks or engage in some
other respectable" avocation. This course
is now in full operation and is succeeding
admirably in this portion of the country.
Ho,o to XII Hard Times. Let every
farmer, who has sons, teach them the bust
ness thoroughly, and when they become of
proper age, "set them up at the business
for themselves; or if they show unusual
talents for some mechanical employment,
let them learn that. And let every man in
the town having sons, place them at some
producing business, if he is able to estab-
lish them in the business at the proper time,
encourage them to become farmers; but by
all means, have them taught some useful
business-do not permit them to become
mere consumers. If these directions are
needed, the land will soon be put in it's
proper condition, and such crops raised as
will fully supply the demand, and the great
bulk of the people will become producers
as we'll as consumers. Then there will be
no more heard the cry that nothing can
succeed in this place." for when that is
done there will be plenty of men of means
and enterprise coming to town to carry on
machine shops, &c. First make demand
for these men, and they will soon find out
that they are needed. Help yourselves and
don't stand idle, and whine about " other"
people" not doing anything.
Took lStroH.-Our new Board of Town
Commissioners made an inspection of the
town, on Tuesday last. Haven't heard
their report.
An Excellent Preventative Of Epidemtes.-
Clear up all the filth and rubbish on your
premises, and whitewash your backbuild-
| ings and fences.
Religious.-The Presiding Elder of this
District, Rev. John D. Curtis, will preach
in the NJ E. Church, on tomorrow Sunday
evening.
Distinguished Visitor.-Peter Lyle, High
Sheriff Of Philadelphia was in town, on
Saturday evening last. lie was in company
with some of the 80 Club House fellows. -
Though heavily loaded, the party succeeded
in passing through the town without COM
ing in contact with our lamp posts
Look for H.-At 40 o'clock tomorrow
morning should the weather be favorable
one of the most beautiful sights in nature
will be exhibited just above the eastern
horizon. Don't fail to watch for it.
Wanted-A few more candy shops in
Elkton.
Fashionabk. 1.-The measles and, and strip
ed goods.
-1H improvements littI lCICC III Ii olt VI
w. J. Jones residence.
Fine Garden.-That of Mr.. r. II. Bell,
on High street. Worth visit.
RicA.-To hear young men laud the work
ing qualities of girls in an adjoining State,
while they turn up their noses at the girls
who work in their own community, and are
ever ready to cast some slur at them, or in
sinuate some base SANDER on them.
Remember TAat.-Young man, with your
hat cooked on one side, and the rowdy
gait, remember that while you may find it
very fine fun to get 50 gloriously drunk y
after the shades of night have fallen, and
disturb the sleep of orderly people by your
yells and oaths, there will come time
when the "grasshopper will be a burden"
and an agony of sorrow flow over your
soul that no earthly power can assuage.
Liberal.-Nr George w. Childs, of the
Philadelphia Ledger, has sent invitations
to everybody who has anything to do with
that paper-from the ragpicker to the news
agents-to take free trip to Atlantic City,
certainly "big thing but George knows
the benefit of advertising his paper, and
practices as we'll as breaches.
Mad Dogs.-From all parts Of the country
come reports of an unusual number Of mad
dogs. Uydrophobia, like some other dis
eases, sometimes becomes epidemical, and
our dogs may not escape the present season;
so as matter Of precaution, those having
dogs which they value had better take care
of them, and the worthless dogs that roam
the town and country had better be killed.
