Don't forget the famous restaurant Q

gotten anywhere than he serves.

| The suggestion of a local contemporary
that, like the county of Hartford, Cecil
should have historical society, is wise
| one, indeed. The question of who will take
| the lead in the matter is puZZler though
| still there should be scholars enough, even
in this town, to establish such thing.
| Their work would be of the most interest
ing character imaginable.
During the progress of the fair Mr.. w.
T. Giles will be prepared to accommodate
visitors with dinners and suppers at his
restaurant on North street near the post
office, For 10 cents monday repast will
be served at which the most fastidious will
be able to be suited, and for 80 cents a sup
per that all will relish heartily after their
long day of walking and sightseeing. Mr..
Giles has always on hand a supply of the
famous Maurice River Cove Seaford and
Delaware Bay oysters and it is generally
known that his are the best to be found in
town.
But one small clue has yet been at
tanned to the origin of the fire at Mitchell
drug store on the 18th of last month. Sew
eral hours after the excitement had subsidized
several ways one of the clerks in the store
discovered unmistikable evidence to the
fact that the flames originated from the
light of a match accidently dropped in the
cellar by some one or more who were in
search of plumber. The affair is still under
investigation but, even if the offenders were
discovered, nothing could now be done be-
cause of the lack of evidence accustomed by
there being no witnesses to the deed.
Since assuming the principalship of the
Elkton Academy Prof. Foulk has brought
that institution to the front as one of the
best of the kind within the radius of many
miles. There is no reason in the world why
the academy should not stand very high as
an educational institution. Within its
time honored walls men have studied who
are today filling positions and following
professions the noblest in the land, and the
scholars who are entering its doors to-day
have just as fair a prospect before them. The
school now numbers about 81 pupils, many
of these are boarding scholars who come
from the neighboring districts. Situated as
Elkton is amid healthy and pleasant
country and improved as the academy
building has been, its attractions and in
ducements should be of the first ORDER and
so we hope they will be considered by
parents whose children will soon need the
attention of an instructor.
-Apropos of the approach of the cunning
season is the paradise for Gunners and
Anglers" a neat little phamphlet issued
by the Passenger Department Of the Phila.
delphia, Wilmington and Baltimore Rail
road Co., descriptive of the cunning and fish
ing resources of the Delaware and Mary
land peninsula. The book treats of the
game and fish of this section their haunts
and habits the localities they frequent and
gives extracts from the game laws of the re-
gion, and in fact, all the information a
sportsman could desire. 1t is embellisied
with engravings of game and fish, and con-
tains an excellent map, showing the water
courses, roads, and railways of the section.
1t is q complete manual for the gunner or
angler, who would find his sport in one of
the best game-stocked portions Of the At
lantic Statos. The book is distributed
gratuitously. and may be procured by ad-
dressing James S. Wood, General Passen.

morning last. Into the peculiarly con-

at one end of the room and out from the

The success of the enterprise will doubtless
be a gratifying one. 1t is such a conven-
fence to the citizens of Elkton as they have
never had offered them, and their patronage
should be rendered even without the pleas

1t has been many years ago since Mar

career of authorship. In that time it has
been the delightful task of her life to por-
tray the human ways of men and women,
and, especially children, in a manner at
once entertaining and instructive. In the
