We know what we are talking about |
when we say that for tirst-claSs slate man
tells, and smi lar work in that line, Charles
Williams Sons, at l32 Market street, Phil |
adelphia, is the place TO buy them. To those |
now building in and about Elkton we recon-

Miss Mamie c. Haines, daughter of
Reuben Haines, Esq, of this town, will
graduate at the Darlington Seminary of
West Chester, Pa, on Wednesday evening
the 10th inst. We think it compliment to
Elkton wnen her boys and girls take the
hOnors of their classes, and therefore we
thus publicly recognize the compliment in
the fact that Miss Mamie graduates the
honor pupil at the head of her class, and
will deliver the valedictory address. An
other pleasing incident of her career at Oar
lington is the fact that her graduation day
is also her birthday. 1t is Il double ami
verSary, which we hope will prove rs pleas
ant to her and her circle of Elkton friends
as her industry and stadiousness eulitle
her to.
