1t used to be the custom, and is
now in many localities, to "beat
down" in all trades with storekeep-
ers and merchants. An amusing ex-
ample of this practice is given be-
low:
In the old haggling way of trade
it was customary to demand great
deal more than the asker hoped to
get. One time, on the Texas from
tier, man came into camp, riding
on an old mule.
"How much for the mule ?" asked
a bvstander.

fhe rider.
"I'll give you five dollars" said
the other.
The rider stopped short, as if in
amazement, and then slowly dis
mounted.
"Stranger." said he, II amt 60
in to let little matter of ninety
five dollars stand between me and a
mule trade. The mules yourn."
Another story, somewhat of the
same sort, is related by an old tenant
farmer who. on paying his rent. told
his landlord that he wanted some
lumber to build a house, and would
he much obliged if he would give
him permission to cut down what
would answer for the purpose.
"No!" said the landlord, sharply.
"Well, then, SIR" the farmer went

A Rich Mans Death Scene.

A striking incident was communf.
Gated to the Nea0 York Press. a few
years ago. by a deeply humble minis
ter. One of the leading membeB0f
his church was greatly distressed in
his last sickness, on reviewing his
mode of living, and rejecting upon
his family, and the comparatively
small SUN he had given to the Lords
cause. In every way the; pastor en-
deayored to comfort him. He spoke
of his having always given cheerfully
and as much as others did. He re-
minded him that the best of us are
improbable servants, and must look
to the mercy of God in Christ as our
only hope. The troubled man found
no peace or comfort but grew more
and more uneasy, distressedand az.
onized as his end drew near. At
last, taking the hand of his pastor, he
said:
"Brother, l am going to tfe Judge

The first essential for a builder is
to have a foundation. 1t is quite as
essential for him then to leave it, and
build his superstructure. To continue
to be engaged about his foundation,
however essential" it might have
been in its order, is to neglect that
which has now become essential,
for comparative non-essential. But

A Game of Foot Ball.

The first game of foot ball played in
Elkton according to the Rugby rules was
witnessed on the Fair Grounds last Sat-
urday afternoon by many ladies and gen.
tleman. The contesting teams were the
Delaware Field Club Foot Ball Eleven of
Wilmington and the Elkton Eleven. The
visitors presented much the heavier team
and won easily by score of 80 to 0. Two
innings of half hour each we're played. In
the first half the Delaware team made SO
points, while in the second they rolled up
SO more. The Elktonians played plucky
game but were too light to successfully
compete with their opponents. The fea-
lures of the game were the playing of
Rush and Hill of the Delaware team and
Perkins, Bratton and Constable of the
Elkton Eleven. Mr.. Bailey of Whining
ton was referee. The teams were COM
posed as follows: Elkton-Rushers,

If that well known and progressive firm
of Wanamaker & Brown knows how to do
any one thing better than make good cloth
ing, it is how to advertise iudiciously and to
the Joint. They sent a first-class represen-
tative to the Cecil County Fair, who exhib-
tied there the attractive products of this
house. He had no competitor at the fair,
although it is well known fact that COM
petition in Philadelphia resulting in COM
parison of clothing as to style, quality and
price, has built up the house Of Wanamaker
& Brown to its present colossal proportions.
Now, this firm follows up its successful ex-
hibit at the fair by inviting the public to
personal inspection of their house and the
attractive goods it contains. The invitation
is timely, and doubtless will be responded to
by hundreds who have never before visited
this house in person. Read their advertise
ment carefully.

PRINCIPLE, Oct. 22nd, 1889.
Mr.. Editor Among so many scribes as
we have around this place 1 wonder why
our little town has been forgotten by these
worthy correspondents. As the nights are
getting longer, and the cider getting strong
er, and the boys have time to meet together
and bring home the news to US old foggies,
we thought we would try and inform the
readers of THE WING that we are yet alive,
some times.
The boys make things little too lively
around the corner, as was the case on last
Saturday night between two spirited pugi-
lists frem New Egypt. Quite a spirited
contest ensued unrll the arrival of "Charles
l." whose presence meant order in camp.
The next case of this sort of behavior 1 think
the Town Bailiff will be called into action
and the rioters pay their penance before the
Squire, for INDUCING too freely at the Dem
John Retreat" This saloon is kept in the
most convenient place to suit its customers,
and its patrons are supplied with copious
draughts of the pleasant nectar. We think
the boys should have been satisfied without
fighting, as each were politely treated to
smoke of a fragrant Havana from Mr.. Mo
Nance, one of the candidates, and the only
one who has shown himself in our borders
on the line of treat.
Politics appear to be thing of the past
among the people this fall. Very little is
said OIL the subject.
Orr Church (HopewelD was very taste

Leaves and fruits of different kinds sit be-
ing Glad Tidings Day. A pleasant evening
was spent in shape of an appropriate and
instructive entertainment by the Sunday
School under the leadership of the superin-
tendent G. S. Abrahams and Rev. j. Jones
pastor of the church. Revival services will
begin at this place on Sunday night and
good attendance and good behavior, result
ing in much good is the united prayer of
preacher and people.
We hear that our public school is soon to
lose its teacher Miss Carrie Keilholtz for
which we are very sorry, as her place will
be hard to fill as a teacher. She is well
liked both by children and parents, her re-
signing the school will be a great loss to
this vicinity.
The farmers are very busy husking their
corn. 1t looks like fair crop, yet we hear
some complaints among those who never
have more than they want. 1 believe the
general yield of the farm products in this
section is up to the average. The only
room for complaint is to find ready sale.

The Maryland Crop Report,

The Department Of Agriculture issued
on Tuesday report of the present con-
dition of crops throughout the country.
Summarized, the crop of CORP is good,
wheat best since 1884, oats average. po-
tatoes poorer than before, cotton prob
ably short. The following is the detailed
report for Maryland by counties:
Anne Arundek.-Crops of every de-

| On last Saturday morning Albert Gray,
son of Thos. Gray, of Marshalton, Del, and
two companions came on the Baltimore &
Ohio to Aiken and intended walking to our
place from Frenchtown, but a long freight
came by on the Port Deposit & Columbia
Railroad running very slow and they con-
cluded that riding was easier than walking.
All three got on without difficulty and came
as far as the engine house at the lower end
of our town, when his two friends jumped
off without difficulty, but on his making
the effort the toes of one foot caught between

Death of Richard HynsOn.

Mr.. Richard Hynson, a well-known
Eastern Shore lawyer and leader of the
Democratic party in Kent county for
many years, died at his home i'll Chester
town on Wednesday morning of Bright's
disease and heart trouble. He was in the
10th year of his age and leaves widow,
three daughters and son. Mr.. Hynson
while leader of his party in Kent for
thirty years never held any public office
of prominence outside of dictatorship in
the B fillmore s. Ohio Railroad Company
and the house of Correction Board.
His power came from his thorough ac-
quaintance with the people and his in
fluence with the landowners and business
men, for whom he was attorney, He was
an able lawyer but no speaker, and his
forte was tie selection OF juries. 1t was
in the last half of his life that he devel-
oped his abilities, and they were recog-
uized. He was the head of the bar in
Kent county for twenty-five years, and
had the care of more estates and trustee
ships than nearly all the other lawyers.
Mr.. Hynson was man of unusual abil-
ity and good judgment in business affairs
and his advice led many of his clients to
success and prosperity. He was fire.
quently spoken of for leading Offices, but
was extremely diffdent before the public
although a man of great firmness and
foresight. He was a great friend of
Senator German, who often consulted
him upon the big party questions, and
for many years exercised his influence in
making up the largest part of each
Democratic ticket voted for in the
county.
Mr.. Hynson was twice sent as dele
gate to Democratic National conventions
He accumulated about 5000, 900. chiefly
invested in farms in Kent county.

Does ElktOn Want the Factory?
The following letter received this week
by Mr.. ]. E. Alexander, president of the
Town Commissioners explains itself:
McKEEsPORT, Pa, Oct. 81, 1889.
President, City Council, Elkton, Md.
Dear Sir DO your people want nail
factory in your city, If so will tell you how
to get one. will say think it will be the
leading factory in the near future. 1t is
called the Taylor Wire Nail Co.." and is
located in Pittsburg, but they want some
ground, 8, 10, or IL acres free, and the town
to raise from 10000 to 10000 dollars in
stock. The gentleman whom L was talking
to told me he thought it would pay in 8
years at least 20 per cent. Now, if your peo-
pie want to boom your city, would say go
to work at once, give them the land and
stock, and have a factory in your city that
will employ in at least 3 years 200 hands,
and pay good wages. These nails are made
of three cornered wire. They make nails,
hooks, staples, and spikes of all kinds, and
will make patent harrow that every far
mer will have on accoul of the shape of the
tooth. They will build all of their build
ings of brick, machine shop, wire mill, and
nail factory. You will find samples of nails
"small'' which l wish you would give to
some cabinet maker and carpenter to test
their merits and write me of their opinion.
Now 1 must say, this is the golden oppor-
tunity for your people to get, something to
boom your city. 1 would say go to work
at once and try and get it in your city. 1
have no interest in it in any only 1 am an
Eastern man from Cecil, born and raised
there and know the need Elkton has of
factory that will employ 400 to 500 men.
1 would say write to me at an early date
as the firm has three offers now and no
doubt you could secure it if you would work
just little.
1 am your hum BILE servant,
