The Baltimore Herald measures up a
popular Cecil county man in this graceful
style Sheriff Boyd, of Cecil county, is
one of the jolliest men you can meet in
years travel. At one time he was a rail
road conductor, and says, in joyial sort
of way, that he has been pinched to death
half a dozen times between bumpers. He
is known by every one in the country, and
as he drives pair of sorrels over the sandy
roads of Cecil is hailed on all sides by
glad greetings. The sheriff is six footer,
and weighs something over two hundred
pounds. Possibly that accounts, in some
degree, for his general good humor.
