TuANKsGIvING.-Thc call of Gov.
Hampton notwithstanding was heartily
and GENERALLY honored by the good pco-
pic OF Duo West last week. \ large and
solemn congregation gathered ut the
church, and an interesting meeting was
held, the pastor leading in the services.
The thanksgiving to Him who has
brought us up out of the depths was most
hearty, and the prayers for His continued
blessing were earnest and sincere. The
day seems to have been generally obsrrv-
cd %througout the State, as it should have

Olcomarrarine (buttcr made Of tallOw,
large and Kerosene, and sold to our city
folk for "GoShcn,') has become such an
article of that the New York
Legislature has thought proper to pass 4
bill making it 4 penal offence to put
olcomargarine butter, or OlcOmargarinc
cheese on the market without having the
kits or buckets branded "oIeomargarinc.'
This NAV do for 4 while, but as long as
there are rascals in the world there will
be WAYS discovered to cvade the law, and
before the next session of the Legislature
thousands of pounds Of olcomargarinC
will be sold and consumed as Goshen
butter.
CALICO DRESSEN.-h ai' Sh'u W o''
it stated that c~alicocs are again coming
into favor us walking dresses. With all
admiration for the ingenuity and taste o
tho sex, we arc bound to say. that the
dear angels have yet struck upon q
costume which gets away with a calico
dress and a white apron.
IT is now thought that Charlie Rosl
will be found as soon as tho Governor
will promise immunity from punishment,
to those engaged in this successful Kid
mapping.

Endorsement of ''Ephraim. F."

Mr. Editor Being much amused al the
cutting effusions of brother Ephriam, which
have appeared in the Sentinel within the last
few weeks, ! was at first disposed to attribute
them TO the attempt OF some would-be poll
teian TO throw ridicule on the determined
opposition to longer ringrule in the county.
But further reflection has led me TO ascribe
them to their proper source, and that they
emansted from some one of the many plough
men among us, whose minds are quite as pene-
trating ss those who would fain caricature
such unwelcome truths by attempted ridicule.
Be that as it may, Ephrain is evidently no
fool, and-judging from his recent display Of
common sense-those who would seek his dis
confture by any such means, had better let
him alone.
But really, Mr.. Editor, must admit feel
somewhat encouraged at the evident favor
with which the prod nc tions of Mr.. Plowman
have been received, and hope they may yet
prove of service in restoring our county to its
former position in the councils of the State,
when we had such men as the llardings, Dor
seys, Trundles, Grifiths, Giddings, Gathers
and others (all farmors) TO represent us-men
who couldtell "hawk from haudsaw, +" and
not act so senseless, las recent events have
shown) as TO pass laws which no Court on the
face Of the earth could execute
What we want, Sir, is men Of more ability
10 represent us, we care not what political an
tecedents may be attributed to them, SO that
they are now heart and soul, opposed to the
longer domination of the faction in power
and which but for dissention in onr own
ranks, never would have been there. Above
ALL we want men TO represent us, who instead
of pandering to tho aggrsndizement of the
will use their best endeavors TO
put a stop to the alarming extravaganco both
in our County and State expenditures Pray
ing the speedy return of that day, am very
respectfully, Yours, &c,

At the recent session OF Talbot County
Court judgment for over $500 was OBJ
tanned against the snreties Of j. V. b. Wright,
collector of State taxes for 1915. Talbot
comfy has similar claims for 1874 and 1875.
The defense set up by the sureties was that
Wright was not appointed legally, never
bonded legally, never was eligible as be was
defaulter, and never qualified, as be did not
take the test oath required by the constitution
of the State. The State demurred and the
court ruled the demurrer good, deciding that
ihe bond reeiting the appointment OF Mr.
Wright collector estopped the first plea that
as 10 the second, the Governor was limited TO
no time in approving tho boua that such a
provision was directory and not OF the sub
stance. AS to the third, IL it be true, no
man can be allowed TO plead his own legal
iniquity in his defense, and as TO the fourth
no such requirement was necessary.

Mr.. Editor AS your valuable paper is the
medium through which we get access 10
the people Of our county on political ss well rs
other subjects, take the liberty of suggest
ing that we come to some practical conclusion
10 reference 10 the proper persons 10 whom we
should entrust our interests in the next Legis-
lature.
have read great deal as TO the quaihca-
tions Of Montgomery delegations generally,
and OF the last one particularly. Without wish
ing or designing TO cast the least reflection on
the last, or any other delegation, think the
great questions TO be disposed OF by the next
Legislature of this State demands its best and
purest statesmen we have within our border
men equal TO any in the State. and if they
could be induced to give their time for a short
period 10 the business of the County and State,
great improvement might be made in legisla-
tion and the interests Of the people perhaps bet
ter protected.
The truth is, Mr. Editor, and the aspirants
for political honors may as we'll realizs the
fact, the people are determined not only in
this State, but throughout the country TO have
better class of men 10 make laws and appro-
pirate money. No political leader is wise who
does not see the drift and tendency in this
direction, and unless great care is exercised in
the selection of candidates it will be found
when the ballots are counted that the people
themselves have taken this matter in their own
hands.
With a view Of bringing the subject fully
before the people, permit me to suggest the
following named gentmen, land | do not
know that any one Of them will serve y
For Senator, II. W. Talbot; House of Dele
gates, Allen d. Davis, W. W. Blunt and
Montgomery Blair
II the above named gentlemen are willing
to permit the use of their names aud will con-
sent 10 enter the contest, there should be no
hesitatation on their part TO so announce TO
the public, and such announcement would, /
Think meet general approval.

To such kind expressions, my reply has

vative convention, lin the action Of which I
had participated, and ia the main approved J
had determined at The primary meetings, to be
held at the time fixed by the Executive Demo-
cratic and Conservative Committee of the
county, TO vote for and make their own
nominations. also stated that il they thought
proper to honor me with the nomination for
the Senate, saw no reason why | should
decline it-that very important questions,
touching the finances, honor and dignity of
the State, would be before the next Legisla-
ture, in which had had some experience, and
in the just settlement of which it would be
very agreeable for me TO participate
| will now add, that if honored with the
nomination and election, will give to the
best interests of the State, and particularly to
those of Montgomery county, the same atten-
tion and devotion which my past life, and
the manner in which | discharged former
public trust affords the best guarantee and
