b. B. ALLEN wishes to call the atten-
ton of farmers who intend buying q
drill this season to the points that he
can give you on the Buckeye that no
other drill in the market has. T

THE Smyrna Cornet Band serenaded
Fred. ]. Carter, on Saturnay evening
and were in turn favored with a good
oyster supper, and the general opinion
was that the boys got the best of it.

1870 car loads had passed over the
road against 2,535 at the same date last

THE friends Of Constable ThOs. H.
Wright are talking of him for the next
candidate for coroner on the Democratic

and this while the shelves are filed
with splendid works of beILe-Iettre.
poetry, travels, science, &c. Our peo-
pie are certainly of novel turn of
mind.
ONE of the most interesting sights
that daily claims the attention of those
on the streets is our school children
neatly dressed, animated faces, buoy
ancy Of spirits, sometimes amounting to
etervescence-they have in them not
only the promise of the future but
form a large part of the interesting
present.
THE management of the Agricultu.
raj Fair to be held at Easton, Md, COM
mencing September 2lst, invite and
request exhibits of all kinds from our
citizens, but especially exhibits from
the ladies. Our ladies used to show
a great deal Of rivalry in preparing ar
ticles for the fairs, but somehow they
are almost entirely off. The Talbot
county fair is a new one and will no
doubt give them a good show.
THE annual exhibition of the Kent
County Agricultural Association to be
held September 2lst, 22nd, 23rd and

ladies are also preparing to make the
Exhibition Hall unusually attractive.
