The ElktOn COrnet Band.

We have good word to say for the
Elkton Cornet Band because the mem
bers of it are good fellows personally and
good musicians besides. They have pa,
tiently practiced week after week until
they have attained an excellent degree
of proficiency, and We assert that in the
quality Of their music, and in variety OF
selections. they are excelled by none and
equalled by few country bands. Besides,
they have not placed a purely CONNER
cial value on their services in this COM
muuity, but have contributed to the
pleasure of our citizens time and time
again in open air concerts during the
summer without money and without
price. Now there are no rich men in
this band. They are all working men
depeudent.on their daily labor, and they
need uniforms to present such an appear
ance on parade as will do credit to the
town they represent. Now isn't it a fair
statement to say, that the citizens of the
town to whose pleasure, and to whose
enjoyment of the concord of sweet
sounds they have catered, should recog-
nize that they owe just a little debt of
good feeling and obligation to the boys
of the E.kton Band, and that the way to
pay this debt, is to help them purchase
the needed uniforms? We think it is,
add as petitions are in circulation
throughout the town for this purpose. we
respectfully solicit from the citizens of
this town and vicinity, their cordial and
friendly aid

The County Commissioners met u
Tuesday the full board being present.
Proposal of E. H. Gosner for painting
the iron bridge near Cecil Paper Mills foI
$40 was accepted.
The clerk submitted letter from A
T, Childs, of the United States census
office, refusing the request of the board
for a recount OF the population of the
county.
A number of claims were passed and
ordered to be paid.
Proposals for furnishing and erecting
the necessary voting booths for eight
districts of the county were opened, and
the contract awarded to III. w. Bell.
The report of VIM. Fl. Frazer, stand
ard keeper for 1890, was submitted, ex-
amined and approved.
The claim OF Theoderic Taylor for
damages sustained by falling from
county bridge at Conowingo was rejected.
1t being represented by delegation of
taxpayers of the county that the burning
of two large barns in Cecil county within
the last sixty days was the work of in
cendiaries, and that the guilty parties
cauld be brought to justice by the Offer
ing of large reward for their apprehen.
sion, it was ordered that the County
Commissioners, jointly with the Mutual
Fire Insurance Company of Cecil County,
and the Farmers and Mechanics Mutual
Fire Insurance Association of Cecil
County, should offer reward of $1,000
for the arrest and conviction of the guilty
parties.

HIS FIRST CHEW,
And He Had Enough OF the Weed to Last
HIM a Life Time,

The boy said it was peculiar kind of
tobacco, and was known as molasses to-
baceo, because it was so sweet. The
other boys did not ask how he came to
know its name or where he got it-boys
never ask anything that it would be we'll
for them to know-but they accepted his
theory and his further statement that it
was of mildness singularly adapted to
learners without misgiving. The boy
was himself chewing vigorously on a
large quid, and launching the juice from
his lips, right and left, like a grown per-
son, and my boy took as large bite as
his benefactor babe him. He found il as
sweet as he had been told it was, and he
cknowledged the aptness of it's name of
molasses tobacco. 1t seemed to him a
golden opportunity to acquire a noble
habit on easy terms. He let the quid
rest in his cheek, rs he had seen men do,
when he was not crushing it between his
teeth, and for some moments he poled
his plank up and down the canal boat
with sense of triumph that nothing
marred.
Then all of a sudden he began to feel
pale. The boat seemed to be going round
and the sky wheeling overhead. The
sun was doGging about very strangely.
Drops of sweat burst from the boys
forehead; be let go his pole and SAID that
he thought he would 30 home. The
fellow who gave HIM the tobacco began
to laugh and the otner fellows to mock,
but my boy did not mind them. Some
how, he dbl not know how, he got out of
the canal boat aud started homeward,
but at every step the ground rose as high
as his knees before him, and then, when
he got his foot high enough and began
to put it down the ground was not there.
lie was deathly. sick, as he reeled and
staggered on, aud when he reached home
and showed himself, white and haggaId,
to his frightened mother, he had scarcely
strength enough to gasp out confession
honor by learning to chew tobacco. Iu
another moment nature came to his re-
lief, and then he fell into deep sleep,
which lasted the whole afternoon, 80 that
1t seemed to him the next day when he
woke up, he was glad to find himself
alive, if not so very lively.

poisonous juice of the tobacco. perhaps
it had acted upon his brain without that.
His father made no very close inquiry
into the facts, aud lie did not forbid him
the use of tobacco. 1t was not necess-
airy; in that one little experience he had
enough for whole lifetime. 1t shows
that after all boy it not SO hard to satisfy

Dear Sjr-As there has been considerabl,
discussion over the returns of the late cen

due to myself, as well as to those by whom
l was appointed to take the census of the
Sixth district, to make some statements in
reference thereto. Ia late issue of THE
WING its editor referred to the "Sixth" as
being prosperous district" No doubt
he founded his opinion of our apparent
prosperity upon observations made during
flying visits to it.
