Mr., EDITOR -
Thinking few lines from this para
disc and adjacent precincts might be rel
ished by some of your readers, we pro-
coed to note the following.
Oar farmers have been busy gathering
in the last crop of the season (corn fod-
der) and killing the fatted swine.
The little mau from the plaius helped
some of us butchers and the way he let
the life out of the hogs was startling
even to John Thomas.
viii, our shoe aud harness maker, has
his farm work all done and has opened
the Horn" where he can be found ready
TO serve in the way of repairing harness
and footGear.
Our school No Q Dist BID in charge of
Miss Florence Clark, Is in a prosperous
condition, over forty names are on the
roll. Now send the boys to school, edu-
cate them, they will make better men,
better farmers aud tradesmcu, better
every thing except petit Jurors.
Politics comparatively quiet, N. ID.
New Dem) Is climbing up in the Coun-
| ellis of his party, TO the great disgust cl
the old Iiuers. Hope lie will soon be
able to buy his own tobacco, abandon
the ugly habit OF asking every one ne
meets for Chew. Some OF the wise
ones have located the next President in
the person of the STUFFED prophet" the
great Grover.
| The revival meetings at Union NJ. b.
| Church have closed. The best attendance
at special services for years. Every one
was politely shown a seat by the oblig.
ing sexton. The singing was euthusl,
astic The entire service was interesting
from beginning to end. y number have
been converted, the church has been
revived, and many glad testimonies Were
ngs.
A few weeks ago Mr.. Harvey Hall d
a young man from Southern Kansas was
visiting friends in this section. He gives
| quite filtteriug account OF lis Western
home. Apples, peaches, grapes, and al
kinds of fruit grow there in abundance
! He lives about four miles from Tx
Indian Territory and is quite familiar
with the habits Of the red man.
We went to Bay EIew. one evening mo-
long ago, aud as we saw nothing o
Homard, by consent we journeycd home
with Miss Megiuty. Her tluency in ioreigr
languages bothered us good bit, other
wise we had a first rate time We wen
to the valley to see your correspondent
of that place to interview him concern
ing who it was set fire To that pile o
rails, aud hung that buggy SO high on
tree, but were told he had gone up Sal
River" We noticed however that trad
was quite brisk about the valley. w
also learned that tho valley wanted tn,
Worlds Fair located there. Now tn
valley is good place to live in, and ha
every c0nvionce country village coult
Wish, but as q site for the Worlds Fai
it Mt worth the dynamits that woul'
blow it to kingdom come.
Hallow Fen was celebrated in tn
usual way. Our colored friend Mr.. Geo
Lee was complimented in rather a Wig
orons manner, his b;.lldiugs was BON
barded in a too damaging style. Tom
Dick, and Harry are supposed to be tn
party, aud they do say Tunis came owe
the creek and was clpsring around quite
lively.
The WING gives soma account of TIT
beauties of High license in Elkton. Th
same exhibitions might be traced t.
other localities During the compaign TIL
friends of rum told US that Prohibition
was taking tho money all out of Ceci
county, now let us inquire where do al
those licensed bells get their supply. l.
it in the county? Is tha stuff" manu-
featured in the county? No sir, iG come
from the large cities outside of the count.
and Cecil county money pays for it by
Wholesale robbery of helpless won an ant
children, with consequent poverty, mis-
cry, degradation, and crime. Verify TIT
movers in this great backward step ma.
well tremble, for it is written cursed j
he that puteth the cup to his ueighbors
lips.
