Actiye Measures Recommended.

Actiye Measures Recommended.
The Local Option Club of the 9th
District at its meeting on Tuesday
night last, passed the following res
olutions and ordered them to be
printed.
Thos. Waring offered series of
resolutions advocating active meas
ures in regard to violators of the
amended prohibition law, which after
some discussion were withdrawn and
the following substituted by H. H.
Haines. which were adopted and
ordered to be published:
WHEREAs-It has been the experience
of all friends and advocates Of Local Option
that the general public have been ever ready
to censure them, charging them with the
entire responsibility of any and all failures
or partial failures of the Local Option Law
Of 1880, and
WHEREAs-This general and generous
public are 'tuning their harps" and getting
ready to heap all the responsibility of the
new law, to take effect Jany. Is. 1887, upon
the heads Of these same people. and
WHEREAS Had the License Law been
adopted in Cecil Co. by majority of its vot-
ers at the last election, this same generous
public would have been quick to delegate
the task of looking after any violations
thereof to these same ADVOCATES of PIohibi-
tion thereby always evading all such un-
pleasant duties under any phase of the law
relative to the traffic in Intoxicating drinks,
either Authorized or prohibited by law. and
WHEREAs-The measure ofevery gool
citizen, entitled to the claim of being a good
one, depends much upon his reputation, for
not only obeying the laws of the land but
also doing all in his power to see that others
obey and respect them, therefore
Resolred-That while it is recognized by
Us to be the duty of all advocates of the
"New Law" Ito take effect Jan. lst 1887 to
see that it is promptly and stringently en-
forced, yet it is also the bounden duty o f
every one claiming to be good citizen, to
also look closely after its enforcement, and
uphold it by his sentiment on all occasions
because 1t is the taw and any one who fails in
his duty to help secure the enforcement of it
when it was adopted by an honest majority
of the voters of the land, cannot claim the
homer of good citizenship.

Description of the Court House.

The Democrat prints the following
description of the Court House:
Work on the Court House is pro-
crossing somewhat slowly. The
laths have been al nailed on.
and the plasterers began work
on Thursday. The petitions being
all in place. the size shape and ar,
rangement of the different rooms can
now be seen. There will be five jury
rooms on the third floor, commodlous
and handsome. The audience room
looks much larger than the Old one,
and will be in every respect great
improvement on it. The offices for
the County Commissioners and the
School Commissioners. will be COM
modious and convenient; and the
additional room for the use of the
Clerk of the Court. though neither as
large nor as light as desirable, will
nevertheless add greatly to the CON
fort and convenience OF that official.
1t has been intended to have the in
side of the building ready for occu.
pancy at the December term, but it
does not look practicable to accom-.
plish that much in the little time
now intervening, and it is not unlike.
ly that the next session of the Court
will have to be held where the last
one VISA. We understand that it is
not the purpose to attempt to finish
the coating of the walls before
spring How comeIy the work will
appear, will have therefore to appeal
to fancy till the disappearance of
frost has made it prudent to put the
beauty-drcss on.

A Creamery in Prospect.

we are Informed that he tho1ght this
neighborh0od good location for a
creamery and would start one if he
could begin with 100 COWS. There
is certainly room here for a very
large creamery. Within a radius OF
5 miles the milk of a thousand COWS
might readily be obtained.
