Woodland Temperance Camp.

Friday. the first day of Woodlawn
Temperance Camp, was damp be-
ginning, the rain preventing all
nearly from attending except those
who were safely ensconced in tn cir
tents. Those who were fortunate in
being present were entertained by
excellent speakers. The speech of
Rev. j. A. B. Wilson, especially, was
the subject of much favorable CON-
ment. Saturday was day of disap,
pointments. Speakers who were
down on the program failed to reach
the ground, circumstance beyound
their control preventing, but not
outstanding there was good meet.
ing and considerable enthusiasm
kindled. Miss Runals added largely
to the entertainment both these days
by her matchless singing and recita =
tions.
On Sunday Mrs. Ellis of New
Jersey was entered for the leading
forenoon speech in place of Mr.. W.
7. Mills of Chicago, who failed to
make connections on account of
detention of trains. Mrs. Ellis sur
prised her audience by delivering a
most beautiful and powerful speech.
Mr.. Mills was on hand in the after
noon and evening and made two of
the most powerful and telling speech
es ever delivered in the county on
prohibition and the far-reaching
evils of the liquor traffic. An i'm
pulse was given to the cause by the
work done at Woodlawn on those
three days that will be felt through
out the entire county, and it is to be
hoped that it will be followed up till
the evening of the day of election
and the infamous attempt to bring
the saloon back to Cecil county will
receive such an overwhelming rebuke
that no delegate of any party in
future, will dare to insult the respec.
liability, the morality and intelligence
of the people of this county by offer
ing such bill in the legislature as
was passed at the last under the
whip of the vicious, the criminal and
the whiskey element of the county.
This whole business is q burning
disgrace to the parties that stood
mum in the presence of the lawless
and criminal class, and the members
who covered beneath their threats
and became their instruments in
passing such an act through the
legislature. We trust that the time
is at hand when the moral ssand intel.
gent sentiment of the county will
make itself felt in so decided man.
ner that it will never again invite
similar insult.

"The three days temperance camp
meeting at Woodlawn closed on
Sunday. Walter 4. Mills. editor OF
the Chicago Statesman, addressed the
meeting. Mrs. Ellis. of New Jersey
gave Rotations. Miss Isunato, OF
New York, with the Oxford quartette,

George W. Boulder a prominent
farmer of the second district, and
father of W. T. Boulder, ex.sheriff
of the county, died on Friday morn
ing 9Th inst. Geo. W. Boulder was
a very active and leading member of
the Republican party during and
after the war, and was elected to the
legislature in 1868, the same term in
which DR.. Stubs of Rising Sun and
W. j. Jones of Elkton were members.
He was popular with his party and
was placed on the ticket several
times afterward but was unsuccessful.
He was elected county commissioner
several terms before the war. The
deceased was in tie seventy-sixth
year Of his age.
Almost every week accounts
appear in the newspapers of persons
being gored by cattle. Last week
young lady in Prince Georges county
was terribly gored by COW. The
week before young man near Ches-
ter, Pa, was tossed and gored by
jersey bull in shocking manner, his
injuries being pronounced fatal.
The sooner people who keep cattle
begin to dishorn them the sooner will
we cease to hear of these frightful
horrors. Every calf should have its
sprouting horns taken out when two
months old and every bull his horns
sawed off close to his head at once.
The managers of the Elkton Fair
would encourage an advance in cattle
breeding by offering premium for
the most scientifically dishoraed bull.
Mrs. Samuel Robertson heard a
splash in the we'll at her home, in
Tyaskin district of Wicomico county.
When she looked down the well she
saw her two-year-old son, Roland,
with his head just above the water.
His grandmother, although quite old,
descended the we'll and rescued him.

Death of Hampton Langdon.

Hampton Langdon a highly res
pected citizen living about mile
from Rising Sun died suddenly on
Saturday morning at o'clock in the
18th year ofhis age. Mr.. Langdon
was in town on Friday afternoon
apparently in his usual health. Early
on Saturday night he was seized
with violent pains and DR.. Dare was
hastily summoned. After some time
the severe pain subsidized, and he
apparently recovered entirely and
the doctor left him comfortable.
About 4 o'clock spasm came on
when he started suddenly where he
was lying on a sofa, and exclaimed
sob my!" A messenger FASTENED
at once for the doctor. When the
physician arrived be found that life
was extinct. The doctors opinion
was that death was almost instant
aneous from apoplexy.
Funeral services were held at the
late residence of the deceased on
Wednesday, Rev. Mr.. Marshall, who
is filling Mr.. Gayley's pulpit at West
Nottingham OBLIGATED at the funeral
services. The remains were buried
in Friends West Nottingham bury
ing ground. The corpse was placed
in a beautiful cloth covered red cedar
casket furnished by l. R. Taylor.
undertaken who had charge of the
funeral.
The deceased was bachelor and
a patron of industry and frugatity.
having accumulated a comfortable
estate, by patient labor and economy.
He owned fine farm which together
with his persona! property is estimat.
ed at to exceed thirty thousand dol
lars. He commenced business as
an undertaken, but finding that not to
his taste, sold ont his establishment
to Isaac r. Taylor, and went into the
hydraulic ram business. He was the
pioneer in that business in this
neighborhood, in which he was very
successful, having PIT in hundreds
of rams in this and adjoining coun-
ties.
The deceased had one brother and
one sister who are both dead, the
former leaving three sons who will
inherit the estate, If no will is found
and it is believed that he made none.
After Mr.. Langdon's death some
thing OF a sensation was created by a
find of nearly six thousand dollars con.
cealed under the garnet floor. Miss
Emily Terry who has acted in the
capacity of housekeeper for period of
% years went up 10 the lumber room, a
kind of limoo ofabandoned things, and
observing loose board in the floor,
moved it, when two tin boxes were dis
covered which on examination were
found to contain greenbacks and gold
coin, amounting to the above named
sum which, however, included a cir
tifioate of deposit from the National
Bank of Rising Sun for $1,000. Mr..
Langdon had told, John Terry who
had farmed the place for many years,
that he had money concealed about the
house which he intended to tell him of
at some future time. 1t is supposed
that he intended to reward these two
faithful friends by giving them this
hidden treasurer. If this was his pur-
pose the sudden stroke of death left this
purpose unfulflled.

We have said a good deal along
this line till some have been made
sick and some have been made mad.
Last week The Democrat has this to
say;-"A new feature of the Cecil
County Fair is the Grange exhibit.
This is an effort to enlist the interest
of the farmers in the fair, and to give
an interesting exhibit of the farm
products of Cecil and adjoining couu.
ties. IF the Oranges will CO operate
with the managers by making an
effort to have full and attractive
exhibits we have no t-oubt but that
the Oranges will give one of the
most interesting exhibits of the fair.
Such exhibits also demonstrate that
our fair is an Agricultural Fair, and
not merely horse trot. with few
scanty exhibits as side show"
"Side show" That's good. Farm.
ers have been made side show"
for long time by politicians and
gamblers, not in the mis-called
Agricultural Fairs alone but every

The Colfax chronicle., 1890-11-22


An actual count showed fourteen
persons present, who had struggled
in simply to learn what was going
ON, but emphatically declined to
have anything to do with such an
organization.
BY invitation Col. Dunn made a
few remarks of common place criti-
cism on those of his old friends who
had seen fit to differ with him on
the lottery question, saying that he
held no animosity toward them,
although their, structures were
harsh and hard to be borne. He
referred to the late money squeeze,
and held that the well-tilled money
bags of the lottery company had
eased matters in New Orleans, and
thus been of great benefit to the
farmers of the State( y
Mr.. Marshall spoke of the great
benefits the lottery was to be in
educating (sic) the youths of the
land. He claimed the right of a
free man to think and act as he
pleased-the members of the league
claimed q right to freedom and re-
spect-if they we're not respected
they proposed to make people re-
spect them. There had been q
good deal Of Incorporate talk
about shot guns. Nobody was
afraid, as that was a game two can
play at. He hoped the league just
organized would carry Grant for
the L ttery; and, upon being assured
there was not the remotest chance
in the world for such catastrophe,
he remarked that there was no tell
ing; that he had heard away down
in Rapides parish that Charlie
Teal was the most popular man in
Grant, and that if Charlie Teal
took a hand in any measure it could
be carried easy in the parish.
We suppose our visitor never
heard of the signal failure Mr.. L.
made the last time he attempted
to lift himself into political favor
by his boot straps. One must go
from home TO learn the news.
The league then unanimously
adjourned, to meet again on the
first Saturday In December, at
which time it is proposed to get up
rousing meeting, If possible.
