Town Election.

The annual town election to select a
town baltf' and five town commission ers
was held ON Monday afternoon at the office
of Mr. James y. Lewis, on North street.
The polls were open between two and six
o'clock. The voting was very quietly con
Quoted, there being no large crowd at the
polls at any time, but a rather large vote
was poiled nevertheless. The large vote is
partly to be attributed to the sharp contest
for balitf and partly 70 the fact that the re-
tiring board left the town with a debt of
81 600. There We're two candidates for the
bailtiahip-George T. King, who has held
the position for the last two term, and
Captain VIM. a. Wright. Mr.. King was
again successful, the vote being l9l to l2l
III his favor. The names OF the persons
nominated at the citizens meeting held on
Tuesday evening of last week, with the ex-
ception OF that of William Trimble, who
refused to be a candidate, We're printed on
all the tickets. The voters had to select
five of the nine. There We're quite a num-
Der of tickets voted with none of the nine
candidates for commissioners scratched
and others with more than five names on
them. The vote for commissioners on these
tickets was thrown ont, but the vote for
baiiiti was counted. The following was the
vote for commissioners George McQuikin

lows: William Trimhle -, Charles Queck

The five receiving the largest number of
votes We're declared elected. Mr.. Mctluil-
kin, having received the largest number of
votes (unleSS he declines the honor), will
be President of the Board, or Mayor of the
town. Politics We're not brought much Tito

Teachers Association.

The Teachers Association of the
Sixth, Seventh and Eighth districts met
at Port Deposit on Saturday, May 1st,
and was called to order at = p. m. by
President f. S. Everist. The meeting
was opened with prayer by Rev. John
Squier.
Under new business Mr. Squier stated
that the State Teachers Association
would meet at Penmar, and made some
announcements in regard to expenses.
He also read a letter written by a teacher
to the Schoal Board, ceusuring them for
not paying his salary more promptly.
Mr.. Squier stated that the School Board
always paid the teachers their salary as
soon as they (the Board) got the reports,
that very purpose. The teachers were
very indignant that any such letter
should have been written.
The regular program was then taken
the theorem given her. o. 0. Saylor
gave solution to a problem in algebra,
referred by School Commissioner, Mr..
Biddle. The question, "What were the
first political parties in the United States
and what were their principles % was
answered by J. L. Crothers. The Fed
eraP' and "Republcan" or democratic
were the parties given. Remarks were
made upon the question by Messrs.
Squier, Tammany and Saylor.
Mr.. George Johnston, author of "The
History of Cecil County," was then in
troduced to the teachers and delivered
an address on The Dead Towns of Cecil
County, Some interesting facts were
given concerning towns not now in ex-
istence. Mr.. Tammany then read quite
lengthy essay on grammar. Geography
was the subject assigned Mr.. Tammany,
but he took grammar through mistake.
Miss Brown had been assigned grammar,
but was not prepared. Owing to the
lateness of the hour the subject was not
discussed and the remaining part Of the
program was dispensed with.
Upon motion the thanks of the Asso-
citation were rendered Mr.. Johnston for
his address Mr.. Johnston then stated
to the teachers that he was engaged in
collecting the poems of Cecil county
| poets for publication. He had not been
able to get any of Mr.. +. Z. Ewing S
poems. They were published in the
| Pilddelphia Deilar Newspaper. lie
asked the teachers to make search for
any copies of the paper that might be in
existence.

An effort is being made to INDUCE the Pa
ci6c Hotel Co. to appoint resident manager
for their hotel at this place. A manager
whose interests are identical with the town
would undoubtedly meet with better patron
age than is accorded the hotel under the ex-
isting state of affairs.
The anti-chinesc meeting last Saturday
night had fair tournou,. Hon. Tom Caha-
Ian was the principal speaker, and after giving

shape. Judge Galloway also made one OF his
Characteristic speeches, and the meeting adj
joumed to meet in two weeks.

the seller. They are in daily receipt Of COM

our stockmen who have stock to SELL can
safely put it in their hands with the certainty
Of quick and advantageous sale and fair

they advertise for additional stock to be
placed in their hands. Those having horses,

them trial.
