interior of the old court house picked up last
week IA black looking piece of coin, which
upon being cleaned with muriaric acid
proved to be an old Spanish ''tip'' or six

1871. 1t is therefore in its !0j year. 1t has
preserved its existence by sticking close to
its hiding place its clear cut mprcs-ion
showing that it has been bat little handled.
VIM. w. Holden raised this season
quality of wheat on the GiIiinger farm in
Elk Neck that ran 6i pounds to the bushel.

commission men to handle it. Mr. Holden
leads so far at this end, and 'Billy' Rutter
at the other. Farmers in Cecil take notice.
