An Elkton barber recently played a

barber has for five years past held u lease

Of this month, and he had been notified that
he property would be wanted ut that time.
He at once took into his confidence the
'wner of a building opposite, in which he
he would embark i'll the clothing
business, as it unfit for a barber shop.
The idea Of opposition so close AT hand start

'enew the lease for another five years if the
barber promised to stick to his trade and
ct clothing alone. This he readily prom ised
% do, as he had no idea of EN- barking in the
rade. Hehowever secured the desired end,
he release of his shop.
