An effort was made by certain persons
on ThurSdl ~ To presume upon the well
known tondnesS of the reporter for striking
news by informing Il newspaper correspon-
dept of E;kton that a large crowd of men
from the city had got OFF a train at Iron
Hill, and We're about to have prize fight
over Rcd Hill. Taking nto consideration
the fact that the walking was not very good
and also rejecting that it was the first day
If April, the reporter concluded to let the
thing slide.
In another column will he seen the adj
of the Equitable Life Assur-
ance Society. DR.. J. II. lamar, of Elkton,

districts of the county. The Equitable is
safe, reliable and well managed company,

The bill to increase the power of the |
county ommiSsiouerS of Cecil county, which |
As it passed the House last week, provided |
hat the clerk of the county commissioners
should collect All eort tHiy taxes under the
- - ' 77T1n OF the commissioners, was
amended in the Senate. The law as amend
ed provides for the appointment by the
commissioners of a county treasurer, who
will receive the same salary as the clerk of
the commissioners, namely, $500. The bill
as amended has been passed by both the
Sen ate aud House and lacks only the Gov
eruor'S signature to become law There
will doubtless be many candidates for this
good paying position shortly, if they are
not III the field already. An ex-commis-
sioner is prominently spoken of for the
office II will tighten somewhat the heavy
labor of the clerk of the commissioners as
the new official will not only receive but
also disbur>e all of the County's funds
There are several men in each district of
the county who expected the position of Tax
c jllector for their district and are greatly
disappointed that things have turned out
thu>iy.
