A New Bank at Elkton.

Singerly is again stirring up the Elk
tonians with new inventions of de-
light" And the following is the
story of the new money mill about to
be set in motion by this restless man.
Mr., Singerly has recently purchased
the lot on North Street adjoining the
Office of the Cecil Democrat from Col I.
ID. Davis, who bought it few weeks
ago from VIM. J. Jones. Mr.. Singerly
will at once commence the erection of
splendid building on the lot, which
will be used for banking house
and residence for the cashier of nat
ional bank of which he and several
other millionaries of Philadelphia will
be the principal stockholders. The
building will be of brick, twenty six
by sixty feet, three stories and a base
ment, with mansard roof and marble
trim mings, finished In the best style
The bank will have q capital of hun.
dred thousand dollars. and, it is expect.
ed, will be in operation by the lst of
November next.
The business of this new bank will
come principally from sources out side
the state, and will have all, or neraly
all the advantages of city bank with
large saving in cost and running e.
penses.
The new bank will doubtless bid for
local business and borrowers may reas-
onably look for lower rate of interest
after its doors are opened.

Charged with Violating the Liquor

Joshua Smith, who keeps q small
store on Basin Run near Rowland
vile, was summon d before Squire
Taylor on Monday, on the complaint
of Mr.. Nelson Mcdowell for selling
whiskey. There is good deal OF
whiskey drinking done at Rowland
vile it is charged and Smith is sus
pected of supplying the ardent under
fictitious names. There were several
witnesses summoned, some of whom
ran TO avoid the constable-a sus-
picious sign-but several appeared
to testify. only one seemed to be in
possession of damaging facts and the
way he squirmed and twisted to keep
from telling what be knew, was a
caution to an eel. He was the most
forgetful man that has been in the
Sun for many day. He owned he
had bought bottle of Mead from
the accused, for which he paid the
suspicious price of 10 cents; but
whether the bottle held a half pint
or gallon he could not tell. But by
putting what lie did tell with what he
refused TO give square answers to
together it looked very much like
mead was our old acquaintance
'pear cider" under a new name.
The case was continued till Saturday
(to.morrow) and Smith held in $500
to appear on that day at IL o'clock,
when an effort will be made to have
all of the witnesses summoned in
the case and present. If there was
an additional clause in the law com
pelling the parties caught drunk, to
make satisfactory statement where
the whiskey was purchased, or serve
term in Jail there would be good
deal less perjury committed by these
gentry and fewer violations of the
liquor law or more sentences to the
house of correction.

inst. and was buried on Tuesday at
West Nottingham Presbyterian
Cemetery in this county, the bury
ing ground of the Magraw family
The doctor was q son of James
Magraw and cousin of Adam r..
Magraw, ESQ.,. from whose place the
funeral took place on Tuesday. The
deceased is about forty eight years
old. He leaves q wife and Eve chill

His death was from heart trouble
and other diseases, which have kept
him at his home for nearly two years.
Corn is looking unusually well
and gives promise of an abundant
crop. Oats are about ripe and from
appearance there never was a better
crop in this section of country. A
great deal of hay was spoiled and
damaged more or lees. But little
clover hay escaped injury, and very
much of the clover crop was entirely
ruined. Too much wet weather
spoiled this crop before it matured.
The wheat crop suffered seriously
from the same cause The grain is
short in quantity and poor in quality
and a good deal of it was sprouted
in the sheaf. Gardens are far below
the average this season. The fruit
crop is short all round.
The well known strengthening
properties of IRON combined with other
tonics and most perfect ncrvine, are found

the nerves and body, and improve the blood

On Thursday of last week a small
cloud passed over the northern edge of
Rising Sun and discharged several
heavy bolts of lightning, while the sun
was shining on the southern part of
the town. One ofthe discharges struck
Howard Reynolds's pump, and was
lost in the well. The shock startled,
and stunned to some extent several
members of the family. Last summer
or the preceding one a heavy charge
of electricity struck telegra phi pole
near the house and shocked Mr.. Rey-
noids very severely. There is an old
saying that lightning never strikes
twice in the same place, and that trees
are sure protection to buildings.
Both these rules were defied in the
cases referred to, for the electricity
stopped to the pump under the porch
and passed the tall trees by.
