Cecil County Fair.

Active operations are in progress in
anticipation of tho coming fall fair at
Elkton. The building to be erected will
be one Of commodious proportions, and
other necessary Improvement, such as
lowering the grand stand, and putting it
on all angle with the home stretch, so
that all may witness the exciting race on
that particular part of the course. Mr..
A. w. Mitchell is nslSing earnest en-
deavors to further the interests of the
fnir and by his unliring work he will
accomplish much. Already throu gh his
personal efforts a great deal that goes TO
make n fair entertaing and profitable,
has been successfully coined out. The
coming exhibition will undoubtedly
eclipse all others, and will crown the
efforts of the managers with merited
success. What needs be done now is to
make a wagon race for Cecil County
horses, OF for horses without record. In
a race of this character much interest is
conferred. Let tho preium be 800, full
return will be the result. Grade the
purses for the other races more evenly.
Stop the hippodroming that invariably
results from a big purse offered for 1924
horses who rarely show better than 1888.
Keep away the Kickapoo Indians. Allow
all the side shows that are able to pay
for the privilege, but make the privilege
price high. 1t is well understood, how
ever, the managers will let nothing pass
their notice worthy Of considerable. We
know of many farmers who own fine
cattle and horses who will exhibit them
Mt the coming fair. And it is whisp arad
about that the horse department win be
looked after by II new and impartial gem
tleman. There will be several radical
and wise changes in committees.

The Italians held Il drill near town on
last Sunday. They formed in line in
Arthur Chillis' field, about fifty strong,
and under one who appeared to be Cap
tain went through the manuel of arms
It was real amusing to watch them, and
to hear the orders given, No doubt sin
times of peace they are preparing for
war;" and the next man they work for al
this town, they expect to get their cash,
or go to war about it. Also on the same
day Mr.. Chills' heard some ono shoot u
gun in his woods. and he investigated
and found that three ItaliaLs were gun
ming. He ordered them off, but they
were very reluctant in going. He said
that he did not force them because they
looked rather dangerous, and he had
nothing to defend himself He has had
issued, n warrant for the arrest of certain
parties some time ago, but as yet he
has failed to get an officer TO serve the
warrant. lie says that he will notify
Sheriff Martin and have this proving
about his lands stopped. On Tuesday
the town was throngedwith navvies. They
were to have been paid, but because
Malloy could not get the hooks of the
Brick Manufacturing Company in which
the accounts Of the employees were kept,
he would not pay the suffering men. lie
has taken legal steps to secure the books.
An account of all tho mems time will be
given any time asked for, but he refused
to take this. The books are what he
wants. We cannot see how he can get
the books, as the property of the cor
poraton has passed into the hands of a
receiver. The accounts of the men should
have been placed in separate book, and
then the matter could have been cleared
easily. No doubt there will be case
about to whom the books belong. We
hope before long to see the men paid, as
some of them are begging, while others
are getting desperate.

To mourn for the silent rover.
Sound high, oh, cymbals joyfully

And stood by the little mound of

"Oh, day Of Joy forever sweet"
Said maid, said silent lover.
And came in the years that never

Ger the little mounds of deathless

On angel wings to hover.

A thirsty man went into II Penn
sylvania avenue bar room the other
day and called for a glass of beer.
The handsome man behind the
cherry handed him five inches of
froth and one inch of beer, Tipped
the nickel into the drawer, and turn
ed to wait ON another customer.
The thirsty man gulped down the
troth, and started out, when he met
the proprietor near the door.
"Say, old man." said the thirsty
man; "that fellow gave me nothing
but foam just now for a glass of beer.
He'll hurt your business
"Hurt my business" the proprie-
tor; ''why, he is my foam most
man."
The thirsty man was not so dry
when he eventually left.-The
Hatchet.

Oh, give me the sea shore,
The sea shore for me,
To enjoy the wild grandeur,
Of the beautiful sea.
1t imparts to me strength,
1t will soften each care,
viii renew all my vigor,
With its life giving air.
The life boats, the life boats
On the pillows are tost,
To try to save souls,
Perchance may be lost.
Fit emblems of life boats,
Sent out in the world,
To proclaim the glad tidings,
OF the Gospel untold.
Then away to tie sea shore,
And do not prolong,
To view the wonders OF Him,
Who rides on the storm.
Who commands the fierce winds,
BY His own supreme will,
And Gains when He says,
Peace, be still.
