Cecil Farmers Recommend a Cheap and
Excellent Fence.
ELKTON. MD. Sept. 81. 1856

ioE>, rhbs3 oSPo' -, iooo'
Deur Wy:-We the undersigned citi-
zens of Cecil county feeling deeply inter-
ested in the prosperity of the farmers
of the county and state and know
ing that the item of fencing is now
engaging the attention of the farmers
everywhere in view of the growing
scarcity of timber, and having heard OF
the Maryland Hedge Il Wire Fence Co..
of Frederick county. we decided to visit
the company at Frederick on Friday last
and see their mode of fencing fully dem
onstrated. We are happy to say that our
most sanguine expectations were more
than realized. We saw the fence in all
it's different stages Of growth and we
have no hesitancy in saying that we be-
)ieve 1t to be as near perfection as posi-
ble-for neatness, cheapness, strength
and durability it certainly has no equal.
1t is proof against the passage OF all
kinds of stock. The fence when COM
pleted is about 81 feet high, consisting of
four horizontal wires attached to the cor.
ner of the hedge by small staples after
TIE hedge is laid or flashed at an angle
of about 45o. The staples are driven by
a very ingeniously constructed automatic
or self feeding machine. The total cost
of the fence when completed is only 81. %
per rod-and the expense of trimming
twice year does not exceed "a per mile
as a man can easily trim one mile per
day. 1t is very evident that no other
kind of a fence could be kept in repair
at the above price per annum. The CAPT
tai stock of the company is 800 00O
The officers and principal stockholders
are gentlemen of wealth and influence
and are directly interested in farming.
the company set out on their own lands
last spring 100 miles of hedges and have
now growing nearly sufficient plants to
set $50 miles next spring.
The extreme low price of all the farm
products and the high prices of labor ad-
minsh us that in order to keep our led
ger properly balanced We must resort to
the most rigid economy. We, therefore,
think to adopt the Maryland Hedge &
Wire Fence Co. Is make OF fencing would
be a long stride:in that direction. We
take pleasure in returning our sincere
and heart felt thanks to the officers of
the company for the kind aud courteous
manner we were received and entertained
during our stay in their beautiful city.

The CECIL WIG OFFICE,
ELKroN, Sept. %, 1886.
E1b Haincs, Esq, Rising SIN.
My Dear Sir: Wasn't DR.. Theodore
Worrell, of North East, one of the pre-
tended Republicans who cut you in
that town in 1873 when you were the
Republican candidate for the State
Senate? Yours Truly,
HENRY K. TORRENT.
RISING Sun, Sept. 22, 1886.
Dear Mr.. 7o,bt1t Yes ; he was
one of those "who kept the word of
promise to the ear and broke it to the
hope" He was prominently identified
with B. F. Thomas in injuring me all
they could, both in 1871 and in 1873.
In the latter year especially, when was
running for the State Senate, they b0fh
protested great friendship for me, as
we'll as the promise of their votes, but
l was slaughtered BY them on both or-
caSioNS. Moreover, | had right to
expect Worrell's support, independent
of party, as | gave him such letter OF
recommendation when he went from
here to North East to engage in the
practice of his profession that he secur-
ed a good paying practice at once. He
admitted that himself. Yet, he threw
me over to oblige his friend B. F.
Thomas, and returned my friendship
and influence with the basest ingrati-
tude. Very Truly Yours,
JOB HAlNEs.

above, concerning other prominent al,

FRACTIONAL DEVILTRY,

As a rule professional politicians are
modest (o) class. Sometimes, how
ever, the factional zeal of some particu-
lar fellow out-runs his discretion and he
becomes audacious, just as brakeman
on a railroad, who during his appren-
tlceship is cautious and careful, but be-
coming familiar with his work, jumps
from his train recklessly and breaks his
neck.
This Illustration although homely,
tolerably describes the noticeable ten
dency of Elktons professional traflckers
in politics, to overdo their work, as
was shown in the Republican Conven
ton on Tuesday last. Habtual trickery
o'er-reached itself.
Initiating the example of recent
Democratic convention which assem-
bled in this town, Mr.. VIM. T. Warbur-
ton, doubtless by the advice and coun-
sci of his Mephistophelian associate in
Cecil county politics, determined to
read somebody out of the Republican
Party. 1t was rather a big thing of
course for man of his caliber and his
record to attempt. but having lots of
Democratic brains behind him. and
a few willing Republicans CD tools
before HIM, he screwed his courage to
the sticking point, and laid his plans
accordingly. Besides, the Republican
organization was growing too strong (O
in Cecil county, and his little game was
apparently an easy method to get rid of
certain men, in his party who were
dangerous to present ambitions and
impediments to future political plans.
The method adopted was worthy of
its author, and The WING the most
prominent target through which to
strike those whom he desired to reach.
Failing to find Republican OF his type,
who had the brains to formulate, or the
courage and skill to execute his scheme,
or one delegate in the convention who
was willing to assume the personal re-
sponsibility of his contemplated attack,
Mr.. Warburton, privately prepared
set of denunciatory resolutions. They
were comprehensive in scope, and
denounced THE CECIL WHIG and
all its friends, sympathizers and
supporters, for its effective pro-
test last fall against the offensive
domination of himself and his we'll rec
ognized Democratic aiders and abettors.
This malicious illumination, like its
bastard brother which appears similarly
hfty-two times a year. was to be sprung
anonymously and fatherless upon the
convention. Instructions to that effect
were passed along the line of his faith
full followers, and the virtuous gentle
men who constitute the North East
and Elkton contingents, hardy veterans,
covered all over with the well-earned
scars of many factional contest, pro-
life of resource and trick, and posted
in all the details of fdctional strategy
and maneuver, were to do the bowling
and the hoodwinking OF such Republi-
cans in the Convention, as were too
honest to be trusted with the secret of
their plans.
With the resolutions glued to his
breeches, the Esculapian Acrobat as
sumed his cut and dried Craftsmanship
of the convention.

ious death at the hands Of some

The commencement of the forty
third volume of The WIG, seems the
proper occasion to thark our friends
and patrons for the multiplied evidences
of their confidence and support. We
close the eleventh year of our manage
ment Of it, otIH a larger subscription
list than it has e7,ey before had, the
increase in its patronage, for the last
three months having been larger by far,
than during any corresponding period
in its history. Considering the depressed
condition of business the country over,
we think it a matter of reasonable con-
graduation, that it's advertising columns
indicate SO liberal patronage by bust
ness men. We have Iabored assiduously
to make THE WIG welcome weekly
visitor to its patrons. By strict atten-
ton to the detail of its preparation, and
a studious regard of the wants of its
customers, we hope still further to
commend it to popular favor.

all her life on the sandhills of New

on an GRAND miles from home, to a
place she had never visited and over
Il lonely mountain road, zigzagging
along the face of the Palisades for d
long distance down to a Hudson
river landing. She enquired her way
as she went along, disputed the in
formation given her by one man, and
proved herself in the right, and found
at last ''Gloster Landing" and hail
