Only One Vote.

Only One Vote.
Many we'll meaning Democrats are in the
habit of saying 80, my vote is only one vote;
and, so considering, fail to 60 TO the polls if so
doing causes them the least Inconvenience.
Overlooking an odd job on the farm, or trip
to town on business, need never be u matter OF
necessity on election day they can easily be
provided for without interfering with the duty
of voting. One vote has often decided an i'm
portant election and may do so again.
Blu, this lazy and Indifferent logic falls utter
" to the ground when we know that great
many men may act on the same principla-or
lack of principle. Then the one vote is multi
piled perhaps an hundredfold, and the ticket
greatly imperiled thereby-if not defeated.
No. One vote is always important, because
without it there would be no votes if all the
voters happen 20 act upon the same idea at the
same time. Each failure to vote, therefore,
will Justly be attributed to lukewarmness, in
difference, Or, perhaps, to something worse.
No true Democrat will fail Of bis duty in this
great emergency.

Beautt ful Autumn.
We think we have never known season
when the forests were richer than now in hues
of gold and scarlet and brown. Some of the
fields lately denuded Of trees, overgro~n with
underground, present the appearance of mann
moth gardens of foliage plants-all colors, and
shades of all celors, exquisitely blended, whilst
here and there meadows as luxurisnt and green
as in June greet the eye. But the hill sides
truly:
Goods 6nger-touch is on the hill
The leaves beneath it CLEAN and glow,
Till the stranger splrndor overfls
Their trembling life, aud lays them low"

A number of Dorchester county sportsmen
have formed local game protective associa-
ton Violations of the game laws in other
counties inspire the press to call for similar as
soeiations. Preparations are being made in
Cecil and Hartford counties for the aucking Sea-
son. which will suon begin. A great many
farmers complain that boys and men and dogs
during the hunting season tear over their lands
regal d.ess of fences, bars or gate. The agrI-
cuturiStS, AS we'll as the sDorismen, are inter
esting themselves in association, the farmer
for his own protection, and the sportsman TO
keep up game preserves.
This is undoubtedly good move among
farmers and one that might be followed with
advantage b, our r;.isens. Many of US during
the leisure season like 10 enjoy days shoot

highly advantageous.
