Our former townsman Mr. A. d. Alex
ander, son of the late Andrew Alexander,
of this town, and brother of Mr.. John f.
Alexander, the well. known Elk ton hard
ware merchs Mt, has recently made change
in business. For many years he was the
trusted employee of the firm of Charles
Simons & Sons but recently connected HIM
self with the leading carpet firm of Lyon,
Hall & Co., of Baltimore. This firm, with
their usual enterprise, offers a valuable rug
as a special premium at the Elkton fair.
Prices in carpets and rugs have reached the
lowest point ever known nd Messrs. Lyon,
Hall & Co. sell at the very lowest figures.
Mr.. Alexander will be pleased to see his
Cecil County friends at the retail store of
the firm No. w. Baltimore street.
We were shown this week two medals
of the CAM aign of 1910. They are now in
the possession of Dr. Joseph " Wallace, of
Chesapeake City. The doctor as ia well
known, is q leading Democrat of the county
but his father DIR. Joseph Wallace was an
enthusiastic whg. The medals which were
worn by the latter are wonderfully well
preserved and have the appearance of being
new instead of nearly half a century old.
The larger one has the portrait of General
VIM. ii. Harrison in military uniform his
name and the year 1S41. The date is sur
rounded with 26 stars, doubtless the number
of states then composing the Union. On the
other side is an eagle with the words "Go it
Tip" and Come it Tyler" The other medal
also has a portrait of "Tippecanoe with his
name and date Of birth on one side and on
the other alog cabin with flag floating from
pole and barrel of cider alongside. 1t
