val last week.
For some weeks past set of agents |
have been selling in Cecil county the
kalamazoo Sulky Plow." The agents
price for the same is 1886. In some cases
their dealings have been unfair and farm-
ers were duped. One farmer seeing q
chance by which he could get back what
he had lost by the acknowledgement
agents, became dealer in these sulkies,
ne selling the same implement for $l5.
The agents hearing of this visited the
wide-awale farmer and offered to give
him steady employment If he would dis
continue the $15 business. Failing to
| accomplish their object they then re-
sorted 10 abuse and threats of suit. The
farmer appointed time for the agents to
| meet him in Elkton. Again they failed
to bulldoze him, and now they have de-
cided to thrash him. If they attempt this
single handed, odds are against them.
The manner in which the farmer gets his
machines, which he sells at SIS, is novel
and legitimate, and he is making it very
uncomfortable for the $36 men.
Yesterday was ehildren's day in the NJ.
| L. Church. The floral display exceeded
by far that of last year. The pastor, the
| Rev. r. II. Adams, delivered his sermon
| yesterday morning from what might be
called flower garden, rs the altar was
completely filled with growing plants

attendance of 305. The evening exercises
were very interesting, and consisted of
responsive reading, singing, declamations,
&c. Joseph Pyle of st. Pauls Sunday
school of Wilmington, addressed the
school. An orchestra of seven pieces
furnished excellent music, while The
usually good choir was considerably aug
mented by members from the Episcopa
and Presbyterian church choirs. The
collections were large. One half of the
money received in the churches or chill
dren'a day this year goes 70 the Confer
